*Forgot to say - Don't fret over re-taking those core pre-reqs for a straight A. True, both low/high grades will be displayed on your Webgate record, but the department will only include the higher when evaluating your application-GPA. I am in the p...

The number of applications does not matter if denied because of 'too low' GPA. However, your application(s) may be *remembered* if you're denied due to insufficient documentation, incomplete forms, etc. If you've got your eggs in line, are a master ...

I had Dr. Gwendolyn Cook...excellent! She is very structured, wants you to succeed, and isn't afraid to give you tips for easier calculations. Math has always intimidated me (my highest section was business math - never took algebra either) and I tho...

We (students beginning the program this month) have been repeatedly told by numerous sources, that the cut-off was at 3.7 for alternates. However, please don't let that intimidate you - this session was also the last time WCCCD allowed outside studen...

I did as I was told; combine the two. I thought of the two topics more so as, where do I see nursing in the future, and how will I make an impact in the field AS a nurse. I don't know anyone (personally) who turned in two essays.

*I'm also at Western - Annapolis with Peltz...class with Diedo. Send me an email if you're interested in connecting. They may combine their NUR111, but either way, we have the same clinical section AND our NUR110. Hi everyone! I was told by friends...

I recall Ms.Norris mentioning that a drug screening would be necessary for WCCCD's program, but it's not included in our list of requirements. Am I overlooking something? Are we supposed to have a drug screening prior to orientation too?

Hey everyone...you can kill me...but only AFTER I graduate. :sofahider I asked my husband about the book situation and he reminded me that our son's first DS broke, and the second is the same color as his PSP. So there you have it. I had the two mixe...

Yes My husband found several DS functions by surprise. His intention was to 'tease' my son by playing a few games when he was grounded from electronics - and he went out and purchased one for himself. It can hold complete programs (even Office, Drea...

Erica I wouldn't put much trust in the website information. Last I checked, it had not been sufficiently updated in quite a while. The program nursing classes are held at (Belleville) Western and (Detroit) NW campuses. They used to be held at the D...

Sorry. I was referring to the Nintendo DS.

Why can't we opt for putting the same book information onto our DS's? A DS does pretty much everything that a PDA does. Can someone give me a few website addresses (for electronic book purchases) so I can call and ask? We've been using our DS's for r...

From my (witness) experience, it is true for everyone. I had two classmates in Micro that arrived to class just a LITTLE upset. They had planned on applying in May 08 for the fall 08 program and were both told (at different times - guess they were in...

Congrats Amie and nice to see you on the boards! I'm not quite sure what these gals are talking about though. Over-joyed and nervous? Who? Us? HAHAHAHA... We're all in this together! Congrats to everyone. Meme...I really hope they do right by you - ...

Hi Erica! I was once in your shoes; HFCC or WCCCD. I chose WCCCD and start the nursing program this fall. I wanted to inform/remind you of something that many people overlook. WCCCD requires these courses be completed AND POSTED to your transcript pr...

Looking forward to it too Erin! Congrats:yeah: Teresa

Hey Girl...You had it in the bag all along! Congrats! You're the third friend I've heard from today - hoping to hear great news from the others any minute now! Join our Happy Dance - check your mailboxes! Teresa

The letters have been mailed - because I got mine today! Teresa

Our mail clerk neglected to deliver at all yesterday, so I'm not sure if it was supposed to be in the mail yesterday but... I GOT MY LETTER TODAY AND I'M IN !!!!!!!! Orientation is on Tuesday, August 5th from 8:30 - 4:30. Who else made it? My husband...

My mail clerk is (so far) three hours behind schedule. I hope it's not a sign! Teresa

I'm currently taking online classes, but am usually at Western and Downriver. I haven't seen the new campus - I hope it's awesome! Both the new/old NW campus is only 3 or 4 miles from my house...NICE! Anyone else had the pleasure of looking through i...

I know exactly what you mean. I was told they should be made out to To Whom It May Concern, WCCCD Nursing Department, or any one person of the department that you've gained some level of personal acquaintance. Hope this helps? Teresa

I cringe over math like my boys do over shots/injections. I'd rather get my toenails pulled out. I was nervous about the fractions and algebra. I thought that the NET (at least the test version that I was given) was going to include a lot of those v...

Good luck with the math portion of the NET. If you happened to read a previous post of mine, I hadn't taken ANY sort of math course since 1989 and I was a Logistics Engineer and ISO Internal Auditor...so I can tell you that it didn't have anything t...

In regard to Mrs.N facilitating the meeting on her own: a few friends thought of that as a 'plus' and a way of getting out of there earlier than expected. I more so agree with you. I would rather have one of them look it over, than to LOOK OVER incl...
