    MySimplePlan replied to oguesswhat's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm more impressed with the boyfriend taking care of you and making sure you're safe and have what you need to succeed. He sounds like a winner. Don't you love when luck finds you?? You had several...

  2. New students: A little bit of information

    MySimplePlan replied to Halligan's topic in Michigan Nursing

    A cardiac nurse sure would know those differences! In fact, a CCU or ICU nurse would know/do a lot of the things you mentioned, more in the first post, though. I think it would be really exciting...

    MySimplePlan replied to Veruka's topic in Michigan Nursing

    A nurse extern is responsible for the care of her patient, the majority of the charting, (not the careplans on the computer) delegating some tasks to other personnel, giving report to the next shift....

  5. How clinicals work

    MySimplePlan replied to RN2B73's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You didn't ask me, so I hope it's Ok to butt in here about taking other classes besides nursing classes. I had to take that last Psych class on Monday nights while in my first semester, with 120 and...

    MySimplePlan replied to NeverStar's topic in Michigan Nursing

    There are several different clinical configurations at HFCC. You can choose Tu/Wed clinicals from 6:50 am - 2 pm or so, then Thur/Fri lectures. Mondays are usually open during this option, though...

  7. My options for becoming an RN in Michigan

    MySimplePlan replied to NeverStar's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The date when you get on HFCC's wait list is the factor that gets you into the nursing program. To get on the list, you must have a minimum GPA of 2.7 and all your pre-reqs completed. HFCC doesn't...

  8. Please educate me on the NET

    MySimplePlan replied to NeverStar's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The reading isn't hard, it's the nit-picky questions the test asks. A good recommendation is to read the 'stem' of the question before you read the selection, so you know exactly what you should be...

    Find a sixth-grader and help them with their math homework for a week. There. You've reviewed for your math section. That's all it is. Make sure you know ratios and percentages, though. There's a...

  10. My options for becoming an RN in Michigan

    MySimplePlan replied to NeverStar's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The wait seems to be a lot shorter lately. I've heard of people getting in under a year, even 9 months! They're admitting more and more people, so that wait list really got trimmed in

    Are we talking about the same state? Hospitals are crazed trying to hire nurses. Their websites have full-time listings in almost every department for nurses. New nurses are recruited with with...

  12. Oakwood Hospital-Good or Bad?

    MySimplePlan replied to thyme39's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I think the above story just shows us there is good and bad at every hospital. I am just going to try and sweep my own doorstep when I am a nurse; that is, do MY very best to care for my patients...

  13. Oakwood Hospital-Good or Bad?

    MySimplePlan replied to thyme39's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The poster wrote about her experience in response to a query from someone else. I think people understand that statements pertain to a certain floor, not the whole hospital. If a person saw unsanitary...

  14. Oakwood Hospital-Good or Bad?

    MySimplePlan replied to thyme39's topic in Michigan Nursing

    My recent Med-Surg clinical was at Oakwood Main, and while most of the nurses treated the students like gum under their shoes, they were up and at 'em most of the time, in the patients' rooms and...

  16. HFCC: Does anyone have this advisor's phone number?:

    MySimplePlan replied to mybrowneyedgirl's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Yes, that's her. There are two papers to complete....the first one was harder. There was a rubric to follow, and that is the first time I have ever encountered or heard of a 'rubric'. You have to...

  17. HFCC: Does anyone have this advisor's phone number?:

    MySimplePlan replied to mybrowneyedgirl's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Oh yes, indeedy she did. She kept us to the last minute, every Monday night. Sometimes, it was excruciating. She is a lovely lady and very interesting, but those Monday night classes were a testament...

    MySimplePlan replied to mybrowneyedgirl's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I had Psych left to take in my first year of nursing school - I took that Monday night section that lasted 3 hours or so. It wasn't a huge time constraint - just a drag I didn't have Mondays off like...

    MySimplePlan replied to oguesswhat's topic in Michigan Nursing
