  11. Does anyone know which hospitals are good to work in as a new grad?

    BerthaRN replied to anemanic's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I work at U of M and thought they had an excellent program....plus, you can't beat the nurse to pt ratio. I do however feel they pay less than other places, but they do have a great retirement pkg. I...

    BerthaRN replied to yellow finch's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The grading system for the school and the School of Nursing are different....letter grades don't matter and we've never used them in the program. To pass each of the classes in the program you have to...

  16. Any Oakland University grad students here?

    BerthaRN replied to yellow finch's topic in Michigan Nursing

    It's true, a 4.0 has to be 100%, a 99% will take you to a 3.9, I believe a 95 is a 3.5 or 3.6. I just graduated from there.....but don't let the grading system get you. I have no idea how it is for...

  21. question about oakland university second degree program gpa

    BerthaRN replied to shehak20000's topic in Michigan Nursing
