  1. accurate I&O's possible??

    NightOwl0624 replied to hirochan's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new grad working nights. I can tell you about 95% of the time, the morning shift does not total their I&O's before they leave, and nothing is written after 1500. I assume most people who...

    NightOwl0624 replied to CandyGyrl's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Guess it was just meant to be. Good luck on

  3. ERI review at HFCC

    NightOwl0624 posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    Is anyone going to the ERI review session @ HFCC? Just wondering what you thought of it... I went yesterday but left at lunch and didn't go back today. It was optional for

  4. Need some advice... Decisions, Decisions

    NightOwl0624 replied to CandyGyrl's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Yikes--- that is a sticky situation. Although most people I would assume would think you were crazy for giving up #1, I understand your concern and why you are leaning toward #2. (I think I would do...

    NightOwl0624 replied to CandyGyrl's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Sorry. I shouldn't have posted, I don't have any good advice. I don't hold her success against her. I wish her

  6. Need some advice... Decisions, Decisions

    NightOwl0624 replied to CandyGyrl's topic in Michigan Nursing

    First off, there are a LOT of new grads on this forum who have been unsuccessful in getting any kind of interviews, not to mention offers, so don't be surprised if you don't get a whole lot of...

  7. How to pass NCLEX-RN on first try

    NightOwl0624 replied to amybethf's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I have to agree... After all the hundreds of questions I have studied, I didn't think the NCLEX was very difficult at all. I finished in 90 minutes and felt fine when I left. I did worry, though,...

  8. Jobs for New Grads in Michigan

    NightOwl0624 replied to meher's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Did any of you receive the state of Michigan nursing scholarship? What really bugs me is that you have one year to begin working (in Michigan) in order to fulfill the requirement. Otherwise it...

  9. ATT...anyone?

    NightOwl0624 replied to oguesswhat's topic in Michigan Nursing

    That is amazing turn around! I got my ATT Thursday and when I went to schedule, there wasn't anything available until the second week in July. I checked the three closest centers to my house. I'm...

  10. ATT...anyone?

    NightOwl0624 replied to oguesswhat's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Thanks - I went to Schoolcraft, though. Personally, (and don't tell any of MY instructors this), but I think all of the community colleges in this area have good programs. At least that is the...

  11. ??s About Pre-Reqs When Applying to Multiple Schools

    NightOwl0624 replied to futurenurse615's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Most schools have requirements before you can get on the wait list, then you can work on the rest of the pre-reqs as you are waiting on the list. Pick a few schools, see what is required to apply and...

  12. ATT...anyone?

    NightOwl0624 replied to oguesswhat's topic in Michigan Nursing

    When were the mass interviews? I would say that if they're going to interview you, then there are still jobs left. I haven't looked at their web site lately, but some of the jobs I applied for are...

  13. ATT...anyone?

    NightOwl0624 replied to oguesswhat's topic in Michigan Nursing

    That sounds like a great unit. (we did a lot of vents in one of my clinical rotations...not fun) I don't have any extern experience, and I know I am very lucky to have even gotten an interview - out...

  14. Honest opinion about kaplan

    NightOwl0624 replied to aliciarae's topic in First Year After Licensure

    same thing happened to me - my score went down a few points on the "readiness test" after sitting through the whole class! i do think the questions are challenging, so i hope it helps. i have a...

  15. ATT...anyone?

    NightOwl0624 replied to oguesswhat's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Amybeth, do you mind me asking what unit you will be working for? I interviewed on 9 south for that crazy shift, and they promptly sent me a letter back saying "no thanks" (but it was ok - I already...

  16. Pre-nursing school. Advice?

    NightOwl0624 replied to leeloo11400's topic in General Nursing

    Hi and congratulations on your new venture! I just finished school, but with older school-aged kids, and I went the community college route. For me, it worked because it was close to home, much less...

  17. Applying for jobs online with Henry Ford

    NightOwl0624 replied to John20's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The online app worked for me, but I too got about 10 emails back saying "pursuing other candidates". I just kept filling them out for the heck of it, and it eventually worked. My funniest...

  18. walk in or online when applying for a job?

    NightOwl0624 replied to spongebob6286's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think it depends on whether the hospital is actually hiring or not. I got my new grad job online - apparently, this hospital was actually hiring. As I was applying online, I thought it was a waste...

  19. ERI review at HFCC

    NightOwl0624 replied to NightOwl0624's topic in Michigan Nursing

    At Schoolcraft it is optional. We had to take ERI tests after every class, and then in the last semester we were required to take about 25 tests (most of them over the break....nice break!) Then we...

  20. ERI review at HFCC

    NightOwl0624 replied to NightOwl0624's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I had a feeling it was mandatory for some schools. I like the book, but if she is just going to read it, I can do that myself. Anyway, I hope the reviews help. good luck with the

  21. Do we feel entitled to a job just because we're nurses?

    NightOwl0624 replied to MesaRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think you are partially right - those graduates that are not putting in their time may have a hard time landing a job right now. However, there are not nearly enough jobs out there to accomodate...

  22. Has anyone had any luck finding a nurse extern position for Summer?

    NightOwl0624 replied to mybrowneyedgirl's topic in Michigan Nursing

    How did you get in touch with the recruiter? I am not having luck with that, either... I mean, I know who to call, but I find they don't answer and don't return

    NightOwl0624 replied to boat's topic in Michigan Nursing

    In second year, for Peds you go to Children's; for OB, the choices were Hutzel, Botsford and Beaumont, and for Leadership the choices are Botsford, DMC-Huron Valley, Oakwood Anapolis, and Children's....

  25. An embarassing problem, but I need help!

    NightOwl0624 replied to midnight*sky's topic in General Students

    Hey - you're definitely not alone! If it really is a "nervous" problem, you may be surprised that once you get to clinicals, you may be too busy to think about being nervous. I have the same problem....
