  1. Really want to be a nurse

    Spartan05 replied to parris's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Here is my advice about your situation. The advantage of going to LCC is that you save quite a bit of money by getting an Associate's Degree there versus a Bachelor's at MSU. If having a BSN is your...

    Spartan05 replied to Kimmi73's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hey, I was at the informational meeting about a month ago and it was pretty helpful. Basically, they went over the PDF packet that you can print out online at the LCC website. Although, a lot of the...

  5. LCC vs. MSU

    Spartan05 posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hey all: I am looking at either LCC or MSU's accelerated nursing programs for next Spring (2008). From what I have heard so far, many people feel LCC has a more hands-on program with better practical...

    Spartan05 posted a topic in Operating Room

    What hours do you work in the OR? I am a prenursing student who is volunteering in surgery/recovery once a week and I am enjoying it a lot. It seems like most of the RNs work from 6am-3/4pm depending...

    Spartan05 replied to Spartan05's topic in Operating Room

    So cases go on at your institution from 7am until as late as 11pm? And, in addition to that you have call and have to work at least one holiday? Do you get your normal rate for call, holiday,...

  8. Why do you want to be a nurse?

    Spartan05 replied to JoeyDog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got interested in nursing through an ex of mine who was always telling me about the interesting things that she got to see at her clinicals. I was in school at the time studying engineering and...

  9. Staring into the abyss of education

    Spartan05 replied to fiveofpeep's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is the advice that someone gave to me when I was struggling with the decision to go back and get a second Bachelor's in nursing. I agree 100%, time will pass either way so you might as well spend...

  12. University of Michigan Flint

    Spartan05 replied to MQ Edna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I received a BS in Engineering from MSU. When you talk about being unorganized are you referring specifically to the nursing department here or MSU in general? The reason I am considering MSU is...

    Spartan05 replied to MQ Edna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  14. Calling all SRNAs

    Spartan05 posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am looking into becoming a CRNA. I've volunteered in Surgery, spoken with a few CRNAs and have job shadowed CRNAs at work. I am hoping to also talk to some SRNA students (if you live in MI that...

  15. University of Michigan Flint

    Spartan05 replied to MQ Edna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Congrats! However, I hope to God that Michigan State gets their CRNA program up and running in the next few years so I don't have to go back to Detroit for CRNA

    Spartan05 replied to Spartan05's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I live in Michigan and am looking at MSU, Oakland, GVSU and U of D Mercy for accelerated BSN programs. I attended MSU for my undergrad and could take a lot of classes at LCC that would transfer over...

    Spartan05 replied to irwin's topic in Male Nursing Students
