CCRN Helpful in CRNA school...... not really. The extent it has helped me thus far is get me accepted. I have not used much or any of the knowledge I learned from the CCRN or least not yet. And if I have I couldn't really tell you what it is - bra...

Thanks MIRN~ I hope you get a phone call soon. Please keep us updated.

I got in!! Got a call Oct 31. Good luck to you all!

Hi everyone I interviewed Oct 23 and received a call on Halloween accepting me into the program. Yea!! I'm very excited and can't wait to start. Good luck to you all.

Lauraash- I'm living breathing proof it can be done. You can do it too, however you have to be very disciplined and have a good support system. I graduated with my ADN and then BSN a couple years later while working full time as a single parent of ...

Yikes!!!! The waiting list is that long now?? Hopefully there is a possibility of getting in sooner. Nurseboat, congrats on passing the exam!

Hi- I'm a current student at UM-Flint, however, I on the RN-BSN track. I do share classes with students who are 4-year BSN students though. Let me know there are any questions I can answer for you.

This is front page news today that Vangaurd, a for profit agency, is in the works to purchase the debt ridden DMC. As a former employee, changes are most certainly in order. For all DMC employees, do you think this is a change in the right directio...

It is a beast! So much so that it really can't be explained - it was the hardest test in the program in my opinion. The questions were paragraphs and very complex. There were plenty of people who were still taking the test after time ran out. Foc...

What is a HCA hospital?

These are very good tips!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!

Oops, totally misunderstood you. Thanks for clarifying. I completely understand your pain. Be firm with them and let them know what is expected of them. They have a responsibility they must uphold and must realize this is a team effort. If they ...

Don't give up, keep trying. After I passed boards, I applied to numerous jobs at the DMC before I finally got a call back. Now that you have your license, you are in a better position. Keep applying and calling recruiters as much as possible. The...

When you are new, there is a huge learning curve and they sound like they have the 'new nurse jitters' which is completely understandable and expected. If they have been on the floor as long as you have I could understand why you might be frustrated...

I was in the same situation that you all are in now. Graduated in May, passed boards in August and couldn't find a job. I've been looking for a job before I graduated which means the search was ongoing for about six months. I just got hired at the...

What exactly are you having trouble with?

I'm exicited to say that I will be joining Oguesswhat on the same unit at the same time!! I'm glad I won't be starting orientation alone. For all those who are still searching, hang in there because your job is out there.

I forgot about the postcard on the Nursing Student forum on this website. It has very helpful links for IV calculations: https://allnurses.com/nursing-student-assistance/any-good-iv-127657.html Good luck on your exam!

Hi there. Have you tried the practice questions on the K drive? Also, there are practice questions in the module. They show you exactly how to set up the problems step by step. If those aren't helpful, try your math book. And if that doesn't wor...

No problem. You should be fine just make sure you spend plenty of time studying. Make sure you understand the classifications of the drugs, their action, side effects and contraindications. Also understand the patho and nursing actions of the diff...

In my personal opinion, I found 221 to be the hardest course in the program. 222 wasn't so bad. You will have to become familiar with a ton of disorders, meds and that blasted math test. If you pass the math test the first time they will give you e...

Hi there- I would NOT recommend that at all!:uhoh21: Get all of your pre-reqs out of the way before starting nursing school. While in nursing school, your main focus should be on nursing school classes only. Do not increase odds of failing due to ...

I must testify the trick is acurate - btw I live in Michigan. I took NCLEX-RN on Monday and got the famous pop up to contact my BON. Today I found out I passed!!!!! I was soooo happy because I thought I failed it! Congrats and good luck to all!:r...

Have you bought the modules yet? Each module will tell you how much to read per section. In addition, there are appendices in the back of each section that are fair game in exams as well so don't over look those. I don't think there is a ton of re...

I took NCLEX yesterday too and walked out of there with my head spinning around like the Exorcist. Some of the meds and diseases they threw at me I've never heard of before and had to make an 'educated guess'. I knew I failed and was preparing myself...
