    trying to remain optimistic

    NoviceRN10 replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds like she's a bit controlling. I have four young children and have worried about the impact of me being in nursing school on them, but I figure they would rather have me stressed now than in...

    trying to remain optimistic

    NoviceRN10 replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So you are already 29; what are you doing with your life now? Do you already have a degree in something? Why does nursing interest you? My family is very supportive of me pursuing nursing. My mom...

    Is there ANYWHERE in Michigan with no waitlist?

    NoviceRN10 replied to springing's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Macomb does not have a wait list. You either cut the mustard or you don't :). Acceptance is based on GPA of last 12 credits, and also your HESI score. Do you have your pre-reqs completed already?...

    Had orientation today...having second thoughts

    NoviceRN10 replied to Kina21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh I get it, trust me. I'm not mocking you for not having a plan in place, It's just hard to help when you don't offer much info about your situation, only that you are overwhelmed. I was seriously...

    NoviceRN10 replied to Kina21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm curious how you got as far as orientation without a plan :). I don't start until January and I already have my life mapped out for the next two years (well, I have an idea of what to expect and...

    MCC Nursing Question

    NoviceRN10 replied to Falafel's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Who knows? They should consider applicants that way, but why start now when they havn't previously. Last year they screwed around with everyone by deciding to require general biology, and...

    Question for newer students at Macomb

    NoviceRN10 posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    I am trying to be as frugal as possible with my text book purchases and I'm wondering if the cd that comes with the new Fundamental's text is just a reference tool or if it is required for the...

    Question for newer students at Macomb

    NoviceRN10 replied to NoviceRN10's topic in Michigan Nursing

    For some reason when I click on your profile it doesn't give me the option to message you. Is this book required, or is it a tool to learn the math? I have a friend that graduated in October and she...

    I've tried to pm you a few times but your box is full! How are you handling being in limbo? I'm going nuts! I wish we had an orientation this month, or something of that nature to make sure we're...

    Question for newer students at Macomb

    NoviceRN10 replied to NoviceRN10's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I just looked at Macomb's website and there isn't a med math book listed on the school's bookstore list for the 1500s. Is this book the correct one: Clinical Calculations, Kee, 5th

    C in AP? I am all confused

    NoviceRN10 replied to FinderKeeper's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It all depends on what your school looks at for admittance! There's a gal in my micro class that is a CNA but she's struggling in the nursing program. I think having CNA experience would help you...

    Nursing School Jitters?

    NoviceRN10 replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We don't even get a "fresh" orientation. My school does the orientation in June. 6 whole months later I get to show up to class clueless (well, you know what I mean!). I can't tell you how much...

    Microbiology Unknowns

    NoviceRN10 replied to jackson145's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My unknown was so easy it didn't even involve any gram staining. We used different types of medium in Petri dishes to determine what microbes we had, as well as the slant tubes too. It was supposed...

    Great way to get experience for nursing students!

    NoviceRN10 replied to RunnerLuv's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I bet most group homes do not have licensed nurses on staff. This isn't any different than giving your children prescribed meds. It doesn't sound illegal to me

    I'm so confused......

    NoviceRN10 replied to Ninja Nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To me it makes sense to take the micro before the A&P because microbiology is the foundation of your anatomy! You having biology right now will help you when you start micro, some of it will be...
