  1. Any hospitals offer loan forgiveness?

    thyme39 replied to 7-7-2004's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Typically, they pay off your loan(or a part of it) in exchange for a period of time you work for them. For instance, if your loan wa 4,000 and they reimburse yo 2000 per year you would work for them...

  2. Accelerated OU students

    thyme39 replied to jenni82104's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The only pre-reqs you need to take at OU are Nutrition for Nursing, Pharmacology and Pathophysiology. You can take the rest of your pre-reqs at a comm. college. I took all my pre-reqs at a cc. It's a...

  3. Accelerated OU students

    thyme39 replied to jenni82104's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I am in the 2nd degree pgm starting in May at Conner Creek. I interviewed in Feb. I don't know of anyone who had their goal statement and interview waived but maybe I just don't know the people who...

  4. Fees Fees and more Fees

    thyme39 replied to scarlet24's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Yes, lots of fees. And don't forget the price of books. Sheesh! Try Amazon or other online sellers for used books. You may be able to get the IBSN from the teacher. One class I even got the previous...

  5. So excited, just got accepted:) OU!

    thyme39 replied to BerthaRN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Congrats! I will be attending this May's session. For the person who asked how hard it was to get in, I investigated U of M, U of D Mercy, Eastern, Wayne, Mich State, and OU's 2nd degree program. I...

  6. Did I get TOO much in loans?

    thyme39 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone, I start an accelerated BSN pgm in May. Like most Acc BSN people, I have been working so only qualified for subsidized Stafford Loan which of course is not enough to live on and go to...

  7. Got In But Not Qualify For Fin Aid..help!

    thyme39 replied to RwanRN2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No one has mentioned this and maybe you don't have any but you might consider taking money out of a 401K. I think if it's used for school you won't pay the 10% penalty. You would have to pay the...

  8. Didn't get in at U of M. Need advice.

    thyme39 posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    I applied to U of M 2nd degree program. I have been taking pre-reqs for about 2 yrs (work full time so can only take 2 classes a semester). Had to take all the sciences - gen. biol, gen chem, A&P...

  9. What should I take first? Bio or Anatomy??

    thyme39 replied to NewCareer78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think you absolutely need General Bio to take anatomy. However, my college required it before A&P. I also think it gives you a good foundation for A&P. We looked at quite a few slides...

  10. My first crack of my essay

    thyme39 replied to DAMomma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is a good start. I would like to suggest some things. I hope you aren't too put out or hurt by my suggestions, but here goes. I would leave out the part about not wanting to be a...

  11. St. John's Providence Sponsorship???

    thyme39 replied to SraKristina's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The best thing to do is call St. John's Providence and ask them. Also, you can call any hospital and ask them if they have a plan and what the specifics are. I have heard of some but not enough to...

  12. I need a "reality check".

    thyme39 replied to Kim O'Therapy's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    By the time I finish with my BSN, I'll be 52. Then I have to work for a yr minimum in order to go to CRNA school. Not sure I can answer anything about your "years left to work" because I don't know...

  13. Tipping a doctor, acceptable?

    thyme39 replied to gtmoore's topic in General Nursing

    I think the Dr. (or other healthcare provider) should NOT accept a tip. However, I would talk to your grandfather and the Dr. before doing anything. Get the facts straight. Find out why your...

  14. ADVICE: 42 yr old Male: Nursing

    thyme39 replied to ksgomez's topic in General Nursing

    A friend of mine who teaches nursing at a college told me also to check into the 'first-pass' NCLEX rate for each school I was considering. (for those who don't know this is the percent of how many of...

  15. ADVICE: 42 yr old Male: Nursing

    thyme39 replied to ksgomez's topic in General Nursing

    Tell him to go for it! There is a thread on this site that you may want to read. Search on "starting career late in life". Lots of people wrote in who are over 30, most over 40 and for all it was a...

  16. Should I worry that I received a C in Anatomy?

    thyme39 replied to lavanda's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My college requires a 2.5 in A&P and a few other science classes. I think you need to ask your school what they think. At 1 near my house, you would not get in if you had the minimum 2.5 because...

  17. Holistic RN or chiropractic?

    thyme39 replied to abell's topic in Holistic

    i don't know much about oregon and am not a nurse yet, but here is my experience with holistic medicine around where i live: university of michigan health system has an integrative component which...

  18. U of D Mercy will only look at GPA of 20 years ago-anyone else have same exp?

    thyme39 posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    I am new to this site and this is my first post. I was looking into the U of D Mercy 2nd degree program. I got my first bachelors over 20 yrs ago. I was a lot younger then and ended up with only a...

  19. Calumet Michigan

    thyme39 replied to BUTTERFLY02's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Not sure about the hospitals you mentioned. If you do not need to go into the UP there is also a hospital in Cheboygan - 15 miles south of Machinaw. It has expanded recently so may be worth checking...
