    NoviceRN10 replied to RNshine's topic in Michigan Nursing

    MCC Orientation

    NoviceRN10 replied to John20's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You know what I came out of that orientation with? An awe of the amount of people sitting in that room that had earned a coveted spot in Macomb's program but had no clue what it entailed . People...

    Does your school say you to pass the HESI to get your degree?

    NoviceRN10 replied to KBoo's topic in General Students

    Are you sure that is really the new criteria to graduate? At my college you are required to take the exit Hesi and pass it before they will allow you to sit for the NCLEX, but they would not deny you...

    How does MCC Nursing program class scheduling work?

    NoviceRN10 replied to sasmith525's topic in Michigan Nursing

    There are no summer classes. If you start in October, you would graduate mid-October two years later. I started in January of this year, so I will be done before January of 2010 (Dec

    How does MCC Nursing program class scheduling work?

    NoviceRN10 replied to sasmith525's topic in Michigan Nursing

    It varies a lot! For the 1500s that I started in January I had lecture from 12-4:25 (with a half hour break between assessment and fundamentals), then clinical class on Fridays from 9-3. For the...

    Eww white uniforms??

    NoviceRN10 replied to jla623's topic in General Students

    That is just adorable. You are making me love my Smurf blue uniscrub top and pants ever so much more. I just wish our clinical instructor didn't make us wear the white lab coats on top; they are...

    Paying for nursing school?

    NoviceRN10 replied to jaytek13's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I have a friend who recently graduated and was hired by St. John. She was offered tuition reimbursement, but that was after she was hired as a graduate nurse, not before she actually started nursing...

    NoviceRN10 replied to brekam83's topic in Michigan Nursing

    If those are in Rochester, then I have seen them (years ago) and they were pretty nice (we lived at Essex at Hampton, which were cheaper). Rochester is a really great town to live

    Register for MCC microbiology?

    NoviceRN10 replied to SnowStar4's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I would not wait, the classes fill up. Do you know your ranking so you have an idea if you would even have to work the nursing classes around another class? I would just pick a night class, and then...

    Pre-Nursing at MCC - Extra classes?

    NoviceRN10 replied to ToxicShock's topic in Michigan Nursing

    If science is not your strong point, take 2710. The other one, 2310, has an actual cadavar and I heard the pass rate for that instructor isn't very high. (at least that's how it was a couple years...

    Thank you, Daytonite . I am now thinking the question I'm trying to answer is more simply answered than I thought. Using the nursing process you can systematically narrow down the source of the...

    NoviceRN10 replied to BillyMan's topic in General Students

    Go to a bookstore or library and leaf through an NCLEX study guide to check out the test questions; then you will see why people drop or fail out. The prereqs are NOTHING compared to the content...

    They will not tell you the mailing date if you call and ask, they just send them out when they are ready. I would definately start watching the mail box by the end of March, though
