Hey Carebear, I work in the ED at DRH......I can tell you that I am a bit surprised that a motorcycle accident pt would not be visiting CT (I am in no way not saying it did not happen) especially if they came in as a trauma. As for nurses yelling - ...

I can tell you for sure that the "poor" hospitals do not pay their RNs more, how would that be possible if their pts are unable to pay for services? I work downtown at Receiving and we treat EVERY pt as though they carry full insurance.....that is ou...

Hey rntobe- There is no difference...that is just what the DMC calls their Nurse Techs. Having experience should help get in you in for an interview...... What hospital/area are you hoping to go in to?

I work at Receiving and LOVE MY JOB! There is something about being down there that you do not get in the 'burbs. I began as a Student Nurse Associate and was offered a Staff Nurse position before I graduated. While I was a SNA I was able to gain ...

I know may people who have shown up on the first day of class and asked the professor to add them to their class and they will. There is always someone who decides not to take the class after they get the syllabus or for whatever reason..........I w...

You can buy malpractice insurance through the NSO without joining the NSNA. The cost is still $29.....That being said, talk to some nurses and see if they have malpractice insurance. I have found that a lot of RNs do not carry insurance. I covered my...

LOL- Heads up-- the bad intel continues through out out the program. Try not to pay much attention to the people who will try to scare you........it is all doable. The hardest part is getting in the program :roll

I am not sure exactly what you are talking about in regards to the point system.......some classes are based on 100 points, some on 130, and so on. If a class is based off 100 points (100% if you got all the points) you would have to get at least 78 ...

Hey deftonez~ Each nursing rotation is 8 weeks long or 2 per semester. If you start in Jan, you will be off from about mid-May through mid-Aug.

Last year 1200 applied (rumor has it) and they took 150 with the "accelerated" class. It is tough to get in every year in all nursing schools. A friend of mine had a 3.8 GPA and 90 on the HESI last year and was not accepted, but another who had a 3...

If they are mailed out next week, you will get them next week. I usually get my bill from them within 24-48 hrs of registering for classes. If you live in Macomb Co. you will usually get them the day after they are mailed out.

We got ours (2005) the last week of March. I asked around at school and they will be mailed out around next week.:wink2:

MIKelly- I would try to take Dr. Michaelwicz for micro- he is THE BEST Macomb has to offer! As for your PHED, I suggest the Prevention class so you have your CPR ready for when you start.

Hey KT~ I am not sure how they will do it this year. Last year they asked the first 130 people who were accepted first if they wanted to do the 18 month program and then asked the alternates..... Last year they did not "rank" the people who were a...

linux~ The letters should be mailed out anytime now. (Last year, we got ours the last week of March) You will get a letter stating that you were accepted, on the alternate list or rejected. From what I have been told by faculty, they are doing anot...

The letters should be coming out soon!! I hope you all get the word you are waiting for!!! the Macomb nursing program's Student Nurses Association (MCCSNA) now has a website and recently launched a message board! There is also a store to buy MCC NU...

Hey Leigh, Sorry it took me so long to respond (I have been a busy girl) I did get in on my first attempt (3.91 GPA- 91 HESI) I honestly do not recall the vocab words being all that hard. They were (from what I remember) words given in a sentence a...

Hello Leigh, I would suggest applying to both programs. I am a MCC Nursing student and I can tell you that you CAN get in to the Program with a 3.8 (esp. if you do well on the HESI) The HESI is a fairly easy exam, but it is worth brushing up on y...

In my clinical last week I was invited to witness a debridement of a stage IV sacral pressure ulcer and was SHOCKED that a LPN was preforming the procedure and requested the help of 2 students. Apparently the nurse also asked the students if they wa...

Macomb accepts 125 students each year. They did take on 30 additional this year into their accelerated program, but they are not planning on doing that particular program until the current accelerated class graduates. (Apparently they want to see i...

Plainly put........ "Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence" -Hellen Keller Keep a positive attitude, DO NOT develop a defeatist attitude and all will be fine. Good Luck to All!

:yeahthat: :lol_hitti I am SO guilty of this, too!!!!!!!!! I love to hear that others are as demented as me and mine!!!

We have videos we have to watch as well........and I am not a fan. I think could get away without viewing them, but we have to sign book we have to sign into and put what class we are in and video we are viewing......I have about 3-4 videos each wee...

last year they did not tell us our ranking either, i think they only ranked the alternates....... at orientation they let us request our start dates and everyone i know of got their requested months, so i am sure if they did not rank you again this ...

I am in a 18 month program and so far, so good. I was not sure about doing it though, because I will not have a break until I graduate October 2007.........But like my girlfriend (who is an RN) said to me when I was deciding if the program I am in w...
