  1. The Net!

    NightOwl0624 replied to NW47's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I took the NET (at Schoolcraft) a few years ago and felt the same way you do. The reading part was tough for me. I tend to be a slow reader, and did feel very pressured with the time limits....

  2. Anyone CLEP outta Biology?

    NightOwl0624 replied to Fancy Face's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I did. I had bio 20(ish) years ago, but did not take it with a lab so it did not count. I took the test, and honestly thought I failed it, but passed with 65 (need 50 to pass). I bought an older...

  3. Wayne State CD-2 Program

    NightOwl0624 replied to JazzyOneRN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Curious... what did they do? (I thought EMU's requirements last year were ridiculous... and only accepting 30 some students on top of

  4. Wayne State CD-2 Program

    NightOwl0624 replied to JazzyOneRN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Christinajoy, I applied to the program last year and they had similar "preference" for Wayne State people, but they even said that it probably doesn't affect all that many people anyway, so don't...

  5. Non-Judgemental, does this often equal Enabling?

    NightOwl0624 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I do understand the spirit of your post. But I have a family member who was hospitalized a few years back due to a mental illness out of control. On his meds, he is great! But as he was being...

  6. Please educate me on the NET

    NightOwl0624 replied to NeverStar's topic in Michigan Nursing

    How can you remember the reading topic????? I probably forgot before I left the room! I'm with you, though - the math was easy, the reading was

  7. rn jobs- decline of Michigan?

    NightOwl0624 replied to ilmbg's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I was thinking the op was asking about economics related to nursing. As a student, I wonder the same thing. My husband works in the auto industry and we are lucky he is still employed. i wonder how...

  8. Wayne State Second Degree

    NightOwl0624 replied to JazzyOneRN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Yes, I have written down somewhere that they were increasing the class size. I do see in my notes that they admitted 80% of complete applicants. Also, this year was the first time they charged a...

  9. Wayne State Second Degree

    NightOwl0624 replied to JazzyOneRN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    At the informational meeting I went to (it was a while ago), they went through the priorities also, about taking the prereqs at WSU, but said it hardly ever applies so don't worry about it. I think...

  10. Wayne State Second Degree

    NightOwl0624 replied to JazzyOneRN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I applied to their second degree program earlier this year. I decided not to attend, though. In a nutshell: they require approx. 10 classes and base your gpa on those classes alone. They...

  11. HFCC CPR help...other schools may know too

    NightOwl0624 replied to oguesswhat's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I was in the same situation over the summer. All the classes at the red cross were done for the month, and I only had a week to get my paperwork in. I found a class at Oakwood hospital on a Friday...

  12. low overall gpa, high prereq gpa?

    NightOwl0624 replied to shehak20000's topic in General Students

    I applied to Wayne State's accelerated program. They look at (about) 10 classes, Biology, A&P, Chemistry, Organic & Biochemistry, Microbiology, Nutrition, and some supporting classes such as...

  13. Taking Organic Chem without taking Intro to Chem

    NightOwl0624 replied to SLF1209's topic in General Students

    I thought it was easier than general chem as well, BUT IT WASN'T EASY!! It was completely different, and in my case, you wouldn't have had to have general chem first. My instructor summed up about...

  14. This may seem like a dumb question, but they always say there is none

    NightOwl0624 replied to nububare's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This may seem really simplistic, but our Professor recommended this little tip and it has helped me... When you take the test, cover up all of the answers with your hand (or the scantron sheet if you...

  15. A&p @ Hfcc

    NightOwl0624 replied to Grayten's topic in Michigan Nursing

    For me, the anatomy part was more difficult. SOOOOOOOOOOOO much memorization!! The physiology part actually came quite easy for me! But absolutely keep up and work hard, you'll do

  16. A&p @ Hfcc

    NightOwl0624 replied to Grayten's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I took my AP classes at Schoolcraft. They are completely do-able! I think the classes among the colleges are pretty standardized around here. You can absolutely pass - and do very well - if you...

  17. Why is mental illness considered pts. fault?

    NightOwl0624 replied to mrs.captain.kangaroo's topic in Psychiatric

    I have a question about nurses' attitudes toward mental illness. Don't you have to study it in nursing school? We haven't gotten there yet, but I was under the impression it was required to pass a...

  18. I got a job!At an abortion clinic?

    NightOwl0624 replied to rrandle02's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you don't have strong feelings either way about abortion. Personally, I think it would be very difficult to work in a setting that is so emotionally charged unless I felt very...

  19. Why is mental illness considered pts. fault?

    NightOwl0624 replied to mrs.captain.kangaroo's topic in Psychiatric

    In general, I think fault is a loaded word. I admire you for taking proactive steps for your

  20. Why is mental illness considered pts. fault?

    NightOwl0624 replied to mrs.captain.kangaroo's topic in Psychiatric

    I read this thread last night and was thinking about it all day today. I have a family member (in-law) who I believe is mentally ill. She is suffering greatly, but absolutely REFUSES to admit that...

  21. What if you have a bachelor's degree in another discipline and are getting a ADN?

    NightOwl0624 replied to AZO49008's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I have never been a nurse, nor have I worked as a stock broker, so I can't comment on that. However, since most nursing care is performed under the umbrella of a business, I don't think it is...

  22. Why does my Nursing student friend get offended??

    NightOwl0624 replied to AspiringNurse7's topic in General Nursing

    I don't like answering questions, either. I don't mind the "how's it going?" general type things, but anything more specific, I try to avoid. Most people I know have absolutely NO IDEA what nursing...

  23. How to study for the Net

    NightOwl0624 replied to boat's topic in Michigan Nursing

    When I took the NET at schoolcraft, we only had Math and Reading. The math is very basic - fractions, percentages, decimals, maybe some basic algebra... If you feel comfortable with that, you should...

    NightOwl0624 replied to mermaid36's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll bet you already know what you need to do. Just listen to that voice inside and you will make the right decision. If you do drop, don't let anyone make you feel bad about it. If you don't, best...

  25. First Exam tomorrow...nervous!

    NightOwl0624 replied to erin1205's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    We use the Potter & Perry Fundamentals text book, and before every chapter there are a list of objectives. I was advised to take each objective and make sure I understood it completely and could...
