Hello HarmsMomma, I am also interested in Davenports Nursing program. I would like to know if the nursing instructors are very helpful, encouraging and available for support? I was in a nursing program else where and the nursing instructors there were not encouraging, made you feel like an idiot, support was scarce and kept you on pins and needles at all times. Believe me I do not want to experience that ever again.

Hi, Ms. Nurse Assistant, I'm from Michigan also. Would like to know what was your starting pay with no experience?

I feel your pain. I received my certification on Sept. 19th. I too have applied to numerous CNA positions in my area (Detroit) and heard nothing until yesterday. Had a phone interview today. So I suggest to you, as frustrating as it may seem, continue to job search and be patient your time will come before you know it.

If taking respirations manually, two tricks are watching the shoulders rise and fall, and/or taking the arm that you are taking the pulse with and place it across the patient's chest. Hope this helps.

Hey Michigan RN, I am a new CNA who would love to work ER for HFH main in Detroit. I would like to know if HFH hire CNA's or ER techs to work in ER?

You have to combine the two topics into one essay.

How wonderful forester, i'm excited for you. You will be very pleased. The instructor at Hazy is very thorough, encouraging, and oh so knowledgeable. Please absorb everything she tells you and practice! practice! practice!.

I just completed a 2 week course at Hazy Institute located in Oak Park, MI. Excellent Instructor!!!.

I don't know if the program in Detroit is hiring for instructors but I do know that Everest Institute is looking for instructors for their LPN program in Southfield.

Thanks Jackyo for the info. I am going to go to Fort street to see if I can get things moving alot faster. As I stated above my next orientation is April 24th and to me that is too long. The person over at 707 Milwaukee stated that there is a wait list for the LPN program.

To any HFCC nursing students, got a couple of questions to ask I would like to know how long are your nursing classes 7 1/2 or 15 weeks long? What is the criteria for getting into the nursing program? How long is the waiting list and/or how long did you have to wait to get accepted?

I also attended the information meeting at 707 milwaukee. There was no information stated about the LPN program at all, only about the resources offered at Michigan Works. My next orientation meeting is April 24th. I guess I have to wait until then to find out about the LPN program. Is there anyone who attended orientation at the Fort St. Location and if so please tell me the information you received if any about the LPN program.

Hey Carebear77, what school do you attend?

I had a long day on Monday I had lecture from 9am-11am, then lab from 2pm-8pm. There is a lot of reading just between the two classes (lecture and lab) but I expected it. I enjoyed every bit of it........Can't wait to see what physical assessment is all about.

i'm sooo ready to get the ball rolling on monday. i start with lecture 9-11 w/dolphus and lab 2-8 w/kiani.

Chemistry is not needed for the ADN program at wcccd. But, if you decide to move on to your bachelors degree, then you will need to take a chemistry class.

Hello maxsteel, check out this website www.baker.edu/departments/healthsci/HSS.pdf This should be helpful in answering your questions.

Thank you, and the best of luck to you too!! I'm wondering how did the sad face get in between "is" and "(northwest campus)" :uhoh21: in the above message. Even though it is my third choice I'm satisfied with my selection.

Orientation is done !!!.... I did not get my 1st nor 2nd choice but my 3rd choice I did get. I believe I was the 30th something person called to select classes. My schedule is: (Northwest campus) Nur110 - MR 9-1 w/dolphus Nur111 - MT 2-8 w/Kiani Nur112 - MR 3-5 w/desouza Nur113 - MT 7-1 w/TBA Nur118 - S 8-12 w/williams

I believe Detroit receiving and Harper university are teaching hospitals both part of DMC, and the starting salary is $22.00.

as long as you have proof that you started the hep b series you should be fine. i have not completed the series myself need one more. as for making copies please do so b/c you will need to give a copy of your physical to each clinical instructor that you have(thats what i was told). make sure you bring all your required master documents to orientation.

You Go Girl !!!...........And Thank you for your wishes.

Thank you very much for the information AuntNana I will definitely check out half.com

i thought i was the only one anxiously waiting for orientation!!! i have completed my physical and have taken all necessary shots with the exception of the 3rd hep b shot which is due in dec.....completed cpr class at cems. i too can't wait to see what campus i will attend, what nursing instructor i will have and to see what else will take place at the orientation on the 30th and 31st. well in the meantime lets not go coo[color=olive]coo for cocoa puffs
