  1. It just isn't fair

    rntoben2008 replied to tigress_8207's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most of my fellow students were part timers. I attend a community college which for the most part has older students than a university. I did go to a major university for one semester and hated it....

    rntoben2008 replied to MIKelly's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I took my NET at the Western Campus at WCCCD. I took it in April and it took almost 3 weeks to get my results through the mail. I have heard Henry Ford has a computerized NET that tells you your...

    rntoben2008 replied to MIKelly's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I took the NET, I scored my highest on the reading. I was in the 95 percentile, while for me the math was what I studied hardest on. Some of it, I had not done in years. I am 40 years old. I don't...

  9. Henry Ford Community College

    rntoben2008 replied to dr.christine's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I believe it is 75% and above is passing at Wayne County. Not much of a difference. If you fall below that....you fail. Nursing school is tough, no matter where you go, but well worth it in the...

    rntoben2008 replied to Taurus_'s topic in Michigan Nursing
