  1. 6 P's of Neuromuscular Assessment?

    What the heck are they? Pulse, parathesis, duh....?
  2. Please explain Baker College to me

    Can somebody please explain Baker College to me? I really don't know much about it, except that you have to earn all these points to increase your chances of being accepted into their nursing program. It just seems that Baker College has just popp...
  3. nights are killing me!

    Acoording to the original poster, she admits she's grumpy because of her new midnight shifts. Make sense. You're on days - what's your excuse? :hlk:
  4. "...and he's coming up in four points!!" Kill me.
  5. Rant: others sitting in on lectures

  6. Too many people trying to get an ABSN?

    If you don't try to continue with your nursing goal, the world will keep spinning and those other 3 people in your group will have continued on and have secured a place in a nursing program, encountering a little less competition because you dropped ...
  7. New job!

    I am so happy for you! I always felt so bad reading about your job-seeking challenges after you graduated.....I am so GLAD for you now!! I remember when you started nursing school, and now here you are, all grown up!
  8. Rant: others sitting in on lectures

    Ruh-roh. I see your point as well, but she is just the greatest instructor and resource. Everyone wants to share in the love. Still - you have very valid complaints. Glad i don't have to moderate that one.
  9. HFCC 221 Diabetes Help!!!!!

    I would say no. At this point, you have enough on your plate to learn the content of the next two quarters. Spend your energy and brain cells focusing on that - it's plenty enough!! Let me say this: most of you will be able to pass NCLEX the day ...
  10. HFCC 221 Diabetes Help!!!!!

    Isn't there a graphic in the text that differentiates btw DKA and HHNK? Know that cold. Def know the purpose of an A1C. Some advice: everything you will need to know to pass NCLEX is covered from now until Christmas break in 221 and 222. (OK, so t...
  11. 221 Math at HFCC

    Gawd, I don't miss this stuff. At. All.
  12. Moving on to another program

    I couldn't disagree with you more. I'm sorry you weren't successful, but your failure does not make other nursing schools failures as well. Thanks to my nursing school, I was well-prepared to perform on the floor, and so were my classmates. We di...
  13. HFCC RN Classes

    Clinical postings are very last minute. If the are posted before the class starts, it's only a day or two before; no long term heads up, unfortunately. There's never been anything more than water allowed in the classrooms. Signs are posted in every ...
  14. HFCC RN Classes

    Lecture for 126 meets twice weekly. Lecture for 120 meets once a week. 120 is all lecture, no lab work at all. 120 is a theory class about the origins of nursing, its major theorists, and nursing concepts such as caring, empathy, etc. Bring coffee. :...
  15. WCCCD, Applying for fall 2010

    Nursing school has a unique way of knocking people off their pedestals all the time. Just sayin'.
  16. This Henry Ford CC grad is going to tell you to look at HFCC. However, the challenges will be the same at all three schools: most clinicals will start at or just before 7 am, so who will get your daughter off to school on those days? Granted, it's...
  17. HFCC financial aid

    I wonder why they are so far behind? Odd, that.
  18. vent, need some advice, Michigan Nursing

    How do YOU know the nurses you see "all" the time when you visit your grandmother or "whatever" (how did you get a 'whatever'? I never got a 'whatever'.) are incompetent and inadequate? Since you are not a nurse yourself, how do you judge that the...
  19. ERI review at HFCC

    You've certainly made some good points. I'm surprised she didn't offer rationale with the questions students asked. She holds supplemental classes for med-surg courses, which is the crux of the NCLEX, and which is why nursing students feel such a b...
  20. ERI review at HFCC

    She's God. She talks so fast because she knows so much. I hope you wrote down every word. If she disagreed with the answers, it's because the answers were dumb. I could listen to her all day.
  21. Don't allow one person, regardless of the circumstances, to enter your personal life and impact the plans you've made with your family, your money, and your time. You did what you were supposed to do last night, and anymore thought about it gives th...
  22. so which is it? you won't get any answers or you will? you are fairly new to the process. please don't bash hfcc with broad statements like this. i've dealt with more than a few college campuses and admission processes, and hfcc is the most effici...
  23. HFCC NSG 155 struggles

    Wow, thanks for your kind words, jabraham99. I want to see everyone do well and get through nursing school, both at HFCC and WCCCC. It's so tough, especially you have to juggle children, jobs and other responsibilities into the mix. Really tough. ...
  24. HFCC NSG 155 struggles

    I am sincerely sorry you did not reach your goal. I agree that you shoould holler loudly that your section was not able to have the resources available to the other sections. The faculty is well aware there are problems with that new program. Stay ...
  25. Grad party idea for my wife

    Plastic bedpans can serve all manner of chips, fruit, even punch. Yum. Yuck. Have fun, whatever you come up with and yay for your fabulous wife.
