    MySimplePlan replied to MySimplePlan's topic in Michigan Nursing

    It's going very well for me, thanks you for asking. I'm in my second semester now, and it doesn't seem so bad as I'm used to the pace. it seems I was always on edge that whole first semester,...

  2. HFCC students

    MySimplePlan replied to phluteloop's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You are able to choose your clinical the first semester. They will try to honor your choice, and I think they were able to for everyone. Second semester - whew! I have a hospital far away, and some...

  3. How to Calculate GPA/Letter Grades?

    MySimplePlan replied to S.T.A.C.E.Y's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Stacey, though it's true A=4. Be3, and so on, it also matters how many credits the class is and what you get in that class. A four credit class has a potential of earning you 16 GPA points. If you...

    MySimplePlan replied to nd deb's topic in General Students

    We had a lovely young lady deliver C-section in our class, and she did beautifully. Our instructors allowed her to reschedule an exam and a skills check-off to accomodate her planned delivery. (Both...

  5. WCCCD-Who applied for January?

    MySimplePlan replied to DAMomma's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Ah, dealing with WCCCCD and their many campuses.... Good luck to every single one of you. Know that math inside and out - that is what I'd be studying first - failure can get you booted out of the...

  6. nursing school jitters

    MySimplePlan replied to ashlee22's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Great advice all around. I second the advice of doing as well as you can early on. It's a great feeling to go into that final knowing a low grade won't sink you....there's nothing worse than needing...

  7. U Of M of Flint Nursing Program

    MySimplePlan replied to starnik14's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I agree with your discrepancies about BMW's post....BSN's and ADN's make about the same amount at most hospitals, eventually. The higher pay comes with a management position. Who wants to do that?...

  8. Anyone want to trade clinical site location from WCCCD

    MySimplePlan replied to babycakes2's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I've never heard Mrs. Burkhart say she'd be 'more than happy' to do anything, LOL. Good luck on getting your clinical switched - hope it works out. Good luck to all of you WCCCCD Winter ladies - I am...

  9. Need some advice from someone who has completed nursing school..

    MySimplePlan replied to sockmonkey70's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have a question - does one need to maintain a certain numbers of credits on a student loan? For example, can one take five nursing credits (clinical and lecture) and still receive the government...

  10. Study Groups

    MySimplePlan replied to bee48's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This is exactly what I do, and I have been very successful this semester. In the study guide, I also include a glossary page if the student manual authors were good enough to do one for thatsection -...

  11. Is the NET (nursing entrance test) hard?

    MySimplePlan replied to busylady61's topic in General Students

    You will need to be able to select main ideas and inferences from a paragraph, multiple choice style. I'd get a review book from the library and start practicing the test paragraphs. Your English...

  12. how important is national accreditation?

    MySimplePlan replied to puresass's topic in General Students

    NLN accreditation is necessary if you want to enter the armed services as a nurse. Lack of accreditation will NOT prevent you from getting into a BSN program. You can still continue your education....

  13. WCCCD-Who applied for January?

    MySimplePlan replied to DAMomma's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The material in my first semester wasn't hard as such....there was just so much of it. There was nothing difficult to comprehend at all - there was just too much stuff to know in such a short period...

  14. WCCCD-Who applied for January?

    MySimplePlan replied to DAMomma's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Congratulations to you people who stuck with your goal and applied again! You got in!!! Yay for you!! I am so happy for you!! You are on your way. Some advice from one who is finishing up the...

  15. First Impression of Nursing School

    MySimplePlan replied to portiz86's topic in General Students

    Um, being EXACTLY on time is still late in Nursing school, especially in those first meetings when things may still seem unclear to everyone. Arrive a bit early every time and stay ahead of the game....

  16. Nursing Assessment Paper

    MySimplePlan replied to FtMrsDocDom's topic in General Students

    That website in 'mysterious one's reply is dead-on what you need. This is EXACTLY what I turned in earlier this week, and I would have LOVED to have had this handy when I did my paper. Luckily, my...

  17. Detroit Tigers

    MySimplePlan replied to rollingstone's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Um, walking Albert isn't such a secret strategy. It's been going on all summer. With Kenny closing in on a league record, there's no way he would let Pujols get a hit from him. Pretty easy...

  18. Detroit Tigers

    MySimplePlan replied to rollingstone's topic in Michigan Nursing

    GO GET 'EM, TIGERS!!!! I am completely stoked for this weekend and more Tiger vicotries!! Sorry, Siri, the country's sports writes are all calling for a Tiger victory in the World Series. I can only...

  19. Are we all old???

    MySimplePlan replied to np_wannabe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Old???? Ha!! Do not let my birth certificate confuse

  20. NET expiration?????!!!!!!

    MySimplePlan replied to amybethf's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You HAVE to get that little book to study for it. I took 2 NET tests....one at WCCCCD (paper test) and HFCC. I scored a low 60 on the reading part, and 97 on the math part. Good enough for WCCCCD...

  21. St. Joseph's Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor

    MySimplePlan replied to pbrookes's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I've heard the people there are great to work with, in a very supportive environment. I don't think the $$ is as high as other facilities, however. They've got that big new hospital they're...

  22. Wayne County Community College District

    MySimplePlan replied to Taurus_'s topic in Michigan Nursing

    I called the state Board of Nursing this afternoon about this rumor. The person said they were aware of this post on this website, as some other people had called in about it. Their answer was 'they...

  23. NET expiration?????!!!!!!

    MySimplePlan replied to amybethf's topic in Michigan Nursing

    If you've got a passing NET test (65 or higher fro HFCC) save it like a lottery ticket!! A very recent NET given at HFCC only resulted in 2 people passing from a pool of 14 who attempted it.

  24. Wayne County Community College District

    MySimplePlan replied to Taurus_'s topic in Michigan Nursing

    Why not go into details? You've certainly opened the door to explosive news for a lot of people. Who/what are your sources? This is devastating news. Why don't you call their nursing office to...

  25. How early do you need to come to the clinicals?

    MySimplePlan replied to mmr2's topic in General Students

    Hi Holly, Your clinical bag sounds very efficient and I am taking note. Big question, though: where in the world do you store it as you're working?? How much of these things do you keep in your...
