  1. Postpartum home health?

    mom2is posted a topic in Home Health

    I am an L&D nurse who would love to work home care. Are there any companies who would hire a nurse to do strictly postpartum visits? If so, what type of experience would they look for? I have...

  2. Postpartum home health?

    mom2is replied to mom2is's topic in Home Health

    My visit was covered under my insurance. Now that I am thinking more about this, I wouldn't mind doing antepartum visits for high risk moms too. I found an agency affiliated with a university health...

    mom2is replied to mom2is's topic in Home Health

    I know! I had a pp nurse come to my house after the birth of my second daughter and I thought it was great. I would love to start something like this, but wouldn't even know where to begin! Any...

  4. Rn New Grad Pay in Michigan?

    mom2is replied to PACIFICWHALES's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I am a new grad working in a metro Detroit hospital and I make $24.50/hr plus shift diff. I honestly have not heard of sign on bonuses for nurses without experience in this area. The only thing I have...

  5. New Grad:All jobs requiring 1 yr experience?

    mom2is replied to tiffnshaker's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Henry Ford (downtown) has some type of ICU internship. I can't remember if they call it an internship or something different. A friend of mine applied for sicu. Beaumont also has them and they are...

  6. Step Up Program at St. Johns

    mom2is replied to inspire's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I also wanted to add that if you start now, you will have almost two years in by the time you graduate. Your seniority will go by date of hire! Something to think about... many floors offer day shift...

    mom2is replied to inspire's topic in Michigan Nursing

  8. SC4 vs Macomb

    mom2is replied to smn0408's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Also, don't just go by driving distance to the school; you need to consider where the clinical sites will be. There are semesters you will be at clinical more often than at the college. For example...

  9. Who has the shortest waitlist in Metro Detroit?

    mom2is replied to Ilovehellokitty's topic in Michigan Nursing

    If you are in Ann Arbor and don't plan to move closer, I don't think I would necessarily recommend Macomb. That is a VERY long drive and not a lot of fun in the winter! (they rarely if ever call of...

  10. MCC Nursing Qs and advice

    mom2is replied to ToxicShock's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I would really aim for all A's in your classes! The program is very competitive and most students have a 4.0 or very close to it and a high HESI score. There was also some talk about not using the...

  11. Macomb Nursing (MCC) instructor for 1510

    mom2is replied to linux7's topic in Michigan Nursing

  12. Is there ANYWHERE in Michigan with no waitlist?

    mom2is replied to springing's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Macomb doesn't have a waitlist, but they typically get 1000 applications for 120 spots. They also are not offering the accelerated program anymore which had added an extra 30 spots. There is also talk...

  13. To Scarf or not to Scarf

    mom2is replied to 2bNurse Smart's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Nurse2be, I am trying to send a reply to you, but your mailbox is full. Email me again and I will send it to you. I accidentally sent you one reply, but it sent before I finished writing

  15. MCC Winter registration

    mom2is replied to deftonez188's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Last year we didn't register until after our grades were posted in December. I think it was around the Tues or Weds after our last class. It definitely wasn't in November. Edit: I just found my...

    mom2is posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Our assignment was to interview someone regarding their nutritional intake for an average day. We then had to record their diet based on the food pyramid and compare their intake to the recommended...

  23. Confused

    mom2is replied to 2nurse06's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I think the programs that allow you to be an LPN after the first year are considered "laddered" nursing programs. The first year is the LPN year and the second you complete your RN. I think Lansing...

  24. Any Michiganders take the HESI recently? (the prenursing school one)

    mom2is replied to MIKelly's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I believe Macomb has study guides for the HESI in the learning center. It really wasn't that hard of a test! The math was some algebra, a few conversions (quarts to gallons, ounces to pounds etc)....

    mom2is replied to MIKelly's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Kelly, I didn't take A & P at Macomb, so I don't know anything about the professors.
