  1. O.C.D. and Nursing School???

    NightOwl0624 replied to bobs201's topic in General Students

    Are you having recurrent thoughts that you cannot control, or are you having trouble focusing on your

  2. General Chemistry vs. BioChemistry

    NightOwl0624 replied to nbrody's topic in General Students

    As someone who absolutely HATED general chemistry, I have to admit I sort of liked biochem. I don't think they are very much alike at all. You will mostly study life forms - carbon, carbohydrates,...

  4. ADVICE Just Found out That I'm Pregnant

    NightOwl0624 replied to excited08's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I wrote the original message to which seems to have made you really upset, but I think you are referring to another poster in this quote. I don't think you are attacking me. I did try to give you...

  5. ADVICE Just Found out That I'm Pregnant

    NightOwl0624 replied to excited08's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I would have said "no way is this possible", but I've seen it with my own eyes. The second week of school, one of my classmates had a baby, missed one week (and the first test), but caught up...

  6. henry ford community college

    NightOwl0624 replied to c2nick's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I would love to know the percentage of people on the waiting lists actually attend the school. It seems like a lot of people change their mind, go to another school, have a baby, get a better job or...

  7. AMAZED at what some students get away with!!!

    NightOwl0624 replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I am a student and have one more year of school left. If I am doing my clinical at your hospital and YOU see ME doing something stupid - (like taking up a chair when someone else needs it) - PLEASE...

  8. Nursing Students and Report

    NightOwl0624 replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    Its really interesting to see all the different ways students take report! I have sometimes felt we were annoying to the nurses, and one nurse flat out refused to give report - laughed when we asked...

  9. schoolcraft College

    NightOwl0624 replied to morgan32's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Morgan, I was originally going to go that route when I heard about the waitlist, but the LPN program only admits 30 students (I think). I originally applied for that program (In fall of 2005) and was...

    NightOwl0624 replied to morgan32's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi, Morgan, I am currently in their ADN program, just finishing up first year. I applied for the program in May, 2006, and at that time they said I would start in Sept 2008. Last June, they called me...

  12. Attn: All Registered Nurses

    NightOwl0624 replied to rn2bn07's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I've noticed that most postings in this particular forum are by students, also, but I don't mind at all since I am one, and I love to read about the other programs in the area! I'd also love to read...

  13. What's the best RN to BSN program? EMU or OU

    NightOwl0624 replied to rn2bn07's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You will have to double check this information (things seems to change all the time and I could be totally wrong...), but when I was looking into OU for a second-degree option, I believe they said...

  14. U of D Mercy

    NightOwl0624 replied to saskenn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Actually... I have a friend who is graduating from their second degree program this week, and she was able to get enough scholarships and financial aid to significantly reduce the tuition. I don't...

  15. HFCC Nursing 1st Year Description

    NightOwl0624 replied to ChelsNurse2B's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I've seen more than a few 4.0 students get tripped up just by the type of testing in NS. You can know the material like the back of your hand, and then get into the test, and get the stupidest...

  16. HFCC Nursing 1st Year Description

    NightOwl0624 replied to ChelsNurse2B's topic in Michigan Nursing

    In my program, the number of papers you write for clinicals is determined by the clinical instructor. This rotation, my instructor prefers hands-on experience. Another group has been deluged with care...

  17. Anyone In Henryford Hospital Nursing Program

    NightOwl0624 replied to excited08's topic in Michigan Nursing

    It's too bad that attitude is still out there. When I graduated from h.s. in the 80's, NO ONE from my little catholic school would have been caught DEAD going to a community college. That was for...

  18. Wait list... ...

    NightOwl0624 replied to boat's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I think going by GPA is a good thing. Quite frankly, if you cant get a 3.5 or better in your prereqs, you may have a lot of trouble passing in nursing school. The grading scale is higher (2.0 = 80%...

  19. Wait list... ...

    NightOwl0624 replied to boat's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi, Boat, I go to Schoolcraft and started in fall of 2007 so I am in the first year. I applied in May of 2006 after I finished the AP requirement. They told me Fall of 2008. I continued taking the...

  20. CLEP and Wayne State (second career)

    NightOwl0624 replied to katie1234's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi, I applied to WSU for second degree last year. I took the Biology CLEP on because I had a biology class without a lab (many years ago) and really didn't want to take the whole thing over again....

  21. Things you would LOVE to say to your nursing instructors...

    NightOwl0624 replied to Montessori Mommy's topic in General Students

    Here's what I would say... If we can all be on time, why can't you? Do you really think "pre conference" should consist of us waiting for you to show up? And should it really take 90 minutes for you...

  22. Wait list or GPA schools

    NightOwl0624 replied to shannonmarie7's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Schoolcraft is wait list only if you meet the criteria. I hear different stories on the length these days. I applied in Spring '06 and started fall '07, even though I was scheduled to start in

  23. I have a BA in Psychology. I want to get my BSN. Must I start from scratch?

    NightOwl0624 replied to VTan's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    [quote=nurse-to-be1000;2721943 I am interested in a non-accelerated BSN program because the accelerated ones are so fast. However, I also already have a psych degree, all the pre-reqs done and I keep...

  24. RN to BSN in Ann Arbor-admission difficulty?

    NightOwl0624 replied to clhRN2b2010's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I could be wrong, but I think Oakland University has such a program, and is mostly online. It is located in Rochester, MI, which is completely the other direction from Ann Arbor, but if it is mostly...

  25. What should I study while waiting to begin an RN program?

    NightOwl0624 replied to NeverStar's topic in Michigan Nursing

    If you are not up to speed in math, you could do some exercises to prepare for dosage calculations. I got a workbook "Calculate with Confidence" (it was one of our required books, actually) before...
