  1. Do nurses support physician assisted suicide?

    NightOwl0624 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Earlier today there was a thread regarding Dr. Kevorkian's release from prison. Just as I was adding my thoughts, it got moved to the Current Events restricted area. At that time, it seemed like...

  2. do you have to do community service at your school?

    NightOwl0624 replied to Ms.RN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    i am starting 2nd year at schoolcraft and i don't really like the community service requirement, to be honest. it's not that i don't want to do the service, it's the way that the program is run. (i...

  3. Waiting List 4 Wcc,occ,hfcc And Schoolcraft.

    NightOwl0624 replied to kyla_tiara's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Maybe you could use the community college to get some of your credits out of the way that will transfer to a 4 year university? (such as english, math, science, etc). Many CC's have agreements with...

  4. Schoolcraft nursing program hours?

    NightOwl0624 replied to mysticbreeze21's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I hope I'm not scaring you about the tests... I'm not trying to. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you have to get used to the whole "critical thinking" mode. By having two "correct" answers, I...

  5. Schoolcraft nursing program hours?

    NightOwl0624 replied to mysticbreeze21's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The tests are multiple choice. When you read the question, you can usually narrow it down to two answers. Sometimes both of the answers are technically correct, but one answer is better. At first...

  6. Started Nursing School Yeah!!!!

    NightOwl0624 replied to excited08's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The material may be very easy, but they can make very, very difficult tests out of the most basic material. Do not underestimate these

  7. Anyone at Schoolcraft? Anyone???

    NightOwl0624 replied to boat's topic in Michigan Nursing

    GREAT advice! I know that they admit all the way up to the first week of class. I was admitted early last fall (was supposed to start 2008) and I was notified in June, so I missed the orientation. I...

  8. BSN question

    NightOwl0624 replied to esunabella's topic in Michigan Nursing

    In my notes from Wayne State's BSN completion program, it states that a maximum of 64 credits (not including nursing courses) may be used from a community college toward your BSN. This is from last...

  9. Schoolcraft nursing program hours?

    NightOwl0624 replied to mysticbreeze21's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Well, first I think you need to take a deep breath and let it out slowly :wink2: You will be fine! Basically, there are 3 instructors for first year classes. I didn't have your instructor for...

  10. Schoolcraft nursing program hours?

    NightOwl0624 replied to mysticbreeze21's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi, MysticBreeze I'm glad I could help. The schedule that they publish is scary... So far, I have only had 2 clinical days and 1 4hr lecture. For second year, you take OB, Peds, Med-Surg 3 and...

  11. Hints on Pharmacology

    NightOwl0624 replied to intuition's topic in General Students

    One thing - I thought this class was really hard (for me) and had to take it online. I thought the book we used was terrible - very unorganized and confusing. For the second half of the class, I...

  12. Schoolcraft nursing program hours?

    NightOwl0624 replied to mysticbreeze21's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi, Mysticbreeze I'm just about to start the second year at Schoolcraft so I can tell you what my experience has been. Usually for each class, you have one 4 hour lecture/week and two clinicals or lab...

  13. Nurses Make The Big Bucks

    NightOwl0624 replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it depends on who you are talking to. I am a nursing student, I used to be in IT, and I usually get "Why would you lower yourself to be a nurse? You could make so much more if you went back...

  14. Anyone at Schoolcraft? Anyone???

    NightOwl0624 replied to boat's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I go there - I am going into the second year. I have had a great experience so far (overall) and have really enjoyed it. The nursing instructors and staff are really top notch, I think. I wish more...

  15. does age REALLY matter?

    NightOwl0624 replied to pinkynbd_99's topic in General Nursing

    I actually thought your question was interesting (perhaps not phrased very well), and I have had similar thoughts about "older students" --- and I myself am a nursing student in my 40's. And I even...

  16. does age REALLY matter?

    NightOwl0624 replied to pinkynbd_99's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just curious --- do you think schools should be imposing age restrictions, or do you think that "older people" should take it upon themselves to step

  17. HELP! What class should I take while I wait?

    NightOwl0624 replied to RN2B73's topic in Michigan Nursing

    If you are planning on a BSN, I would get the Chemistry and Organic/Biochem out of the way. HFCC has a really good chem prof that I would highly

  18. Rn New Grad Pay in Michigan?

    NightOwl0624 replied to PACIFICWHALES's topic in Michigan Nursing

    LISTEN TO YOUR DAD!!!!! You won't miss this money all that much now, and as young as you are, it will grow like crazy. Trust me - the years fly by fast, and you will be the envy of all your friends...

  19. is dosage calc. necessary?

    NightOwl0624 replied to RN874's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I'm in the minority... I think if you are very good in math and have a solid understanding of the basics, and especially if you have ever taken Chemistry (dimensional analysis), you will be...

  20. Study Material

    NightOwl0624 replied to rn2b2011's topic in Michigan Nursing

    We were supposed to use Calculate with Confidence at Schoolcraft. I bought an older edition on Half.com

  21. Clinical sites - any opinions?

    NightOwl0624 posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    I have to turn in my preferences for the lottery on my clinical sites in a few days. I'm starting 2nd year, the OB rotation, and my choices are Botsford, Beaumont and Hutzel Hospitals. All three...

  22. Clinical sites - any opinions?

    NightOwl0624 replied to NightOwl0624's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Thank you so much for your information. I worked downtown for 10 years and the commute and location didn't bother me at all, but I did get nervous driving around very late at night (as I do almost...

  23. Clinical sites - any opinions?

    NightOwl0624 replied to NightOwl0624's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi, SusanKathleen, Thanks for responding. I was thinking the same thing about Hutzel; I'm just a little nervous about the parking and driving home at 11 pm. Sometimes students don't have the best...

  24. Does anybody here have OCD?

    NightOwl0624 replied to brittney140's topic in General Students

    good

  25. Does anybody here have OCD?

    NightOwl0624 replied to brittney140's topic in General Students

    I don't have OCD, but my son had symptoms for a while (he was 10). He could not stop worrying about being poisoned - all day long. He did therapy for a bit and went on Prozac. It did get better and...
