  1. Transition from Psych to Med Surg

    Veruka replied to Stephieee's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I worked psych for 2 1/2 years (1st job out of school), and was displaced to a med-surg floor. In my opinion, the psych background definitely helped!! Patients rarely come in with one problem, and...

  2. Anatomy in the summer??

    Veruka replied to MsAshley's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Go for it! I took 233 (at HFCC) in the summer, and it was fine. Believe me, it's much better than taking them WITH the nursing program (which is when I had to take 234). You can do it! Good

    Veruka posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    Veruka replied to ToBANurse2010's topic in Michigan Nursing

  11. Do you know someone who has a criminal history and became a nurse?

    Veruka replied to nurseO9's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Read again. It clearly says misdemeanors are included. Depends on the degree of the theft. From what I gather, it would be 5 years. "5 years: Any other misdemeanor involving assault, fraud, or...

    Veruka replied to NightOwl0624's topic in Michigan Nursing

    hmmmm...... (initials of instructor removed by moderator) perhaps???

  16. ERI review at HFCC

    Veruka replied to NightOwl0624's topic in Michigan Nursing

    How can they make this mandatory? I mean, you already graduated, right? It's not like they can call the State of Michigan and not have you take the NCLEX. So are they just "saying" it's mandatory...

  17. HFCC NSG 155 struggles

    Veruka replied to hfmf's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Oh, you are lucky (for the days)!! I wish I could show you the the second year "offerings" - just awful! If I get nights or weekends I will need a hardship! yeah, I went to that Saturday...

  19. Question for HFCC peeps

    Veruka posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi guys (and gals)- quick question: Do you think I need to take patho if I have already completed first year? I know to transfer for BSN I will eventually need that, but I will not be doing that...

  20. Question for HFCC peeps

    Veruka replied to Veruka's topic in Michigan Nursing

    No, it is "recommended" that you take patho to re-mediate for 155, but not mandatory. My GPA did not fall below 3.5, so I did not have to take it. Plus, it would have been pointless- my baby was born...

    Veruka replied to Veruka's topic in Michigan Nursing

  24. HFCC NSG 155 struggles

    Veruka replied to hfmf's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You know, I had to re-take 155, and I thought it was the absolute end of the world at the time, but it ended up being the best thing for me! I actually UNDERSTOOD the material this time around, and...

  25. HFFC Nursing

    Veruka replied to rn2b2011's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I took A&P 2 with my nursing classes 1st semester (I started in fall). It is doable, but not advisable. I managed to get B's in all of them (I was also a 4.0 going in), but if I took the A&P...
