    Anne36 replied to MsStephh_RN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    At least you guys have a break between Pharm and Fundamentals. We only had 2 weeks off in between those classes. Have you all done your Ace Passport? Do you know what they want as far as medical...

    Anne36 replied to futurenurse0115's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Anne36 replied to digoe74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I understand how hard it is to take a summer math class. I also took my Algebra in an 8 week summer course. It was 2 nights a week for 4 hours each and an exam about every week. I dont know how I did...

  5. Discouraged

    Anne36 replied to working2b#1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. GVN gets paid more than me!!

    Anne36 replied to Alma8610's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Im curious about how someone who is a GPN and is not even eligible to sit for the NCLEX can be working as a Nurse. Does she wear a badge with the title of Nurse on it? Is this even legal? I thought...

  8. I want to get pregnant?!

    Anne36 replied to irjorgo3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would wait until AFTER nursing school. In Nursing school you dont get "sick days" like you do with a job. If you dont show up it can be a real problem. We just had a classmate who became ill herself...

    Anne36 replied to Coloradogrl's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  13. clinical placements

    Anne36 replied to Beebop25's topic in General Nursing

    No, we have to go wherever we are placed. It would make more sense to place us near our homes since gas is over $4

  15. Student Loans

    Anne36 posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    I would like some other students to help me figure out what is going on with the student loans. I went to fin aid today and they were not too helpful. This is my current situation. I have been a full...

    Anne36 replied to Anne36's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Anne36 replied to Anne36's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Anne36 replied to stigrl's topic in General Students

  19. OCC - 2010 applicants / 2011 ADN prospective students

    Anne36 replied to MsStephh_RN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Amy, I would just stick to the powerpoint and lecture. I would record my lecture and listen to it before the exam. I got an A, it is not that hard compared to some of the pre-reqs like Micro and...

  20. Salary???

    Anne36 replied to RNratched's topic in Home Health

    For those of you driving to home health visits, how are gas prices impacting you? Are you getting reimbursed enough for gas and milage for it to be worthwhile? What about when gas hits $5 a gallon,...

  22. Not a lot of opportunities for LPN's?

    Anne36 replied to LeeLee87's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I am in Michigan and the opportunites for an LPN really are limited. You are correct about the Dr office they hire medical assistants now and the Hospitals are not hiring LPN anymore. Some hospitals...

    Anne36 replied to anjule18's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Caliotter, do you agree that it was justifiable for the LPNs to get demoted? What about doing the same thing to RNs who do not have their BSN? I think that is a very real possiblity where I live at...

  25. What you didn't expect about Nursing School.....

    Anne36 replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I didnt expect to start clinical knowing so little. I didnt expect the first 2 lecture exams to be so easy. I didnt expect the Lab to be so
