  1. Is nursing a good idea?

    1rarejewel replied to bs3516's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I would say to do so, if nursing is what you truly want to do. Don't have high hopes about being able to work right away because it may not happen. The market is saturated with applicants, so...

    Congratulations!!! I hope things work out very well for you....and be a

  3. Moving to Michigan....

    1rarejewel replied to kidzrn2002's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I don't know much about Texas, nor your reasons for choosing to leave (let alone leave there to come here), but they are your reasons regardless and you are entitled to choice. I am not attempting to...

  4. MEPS

    1rarejewel replied to aniko743's topic in Government, Military

    I would like to know how things go for you. I'm in the consideration stage, but expecting to go for a physical around Feb, but I don't graduate with my ADN until May, so I still have time. I, too am...

    1rarejewel replied to tripp3horn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I was in class today saying the exact same thing! I went to AZ in the middle of Aug. and loved it!!! Of course it's super cold now and summer was more like spring/fall and I am sooooo disappointed....

    1rarejewel replied to Briguglio's topic in Michigan Nursing

  7. Venting about classmates with families...

    1rarejewel replied to moncj66's topic in General Students

    I can see it from both sides as well. I look back to 1995 wishing I had known then what I know now. Quick comment...Having children and choosing to have children may not necessarily coincide....

  9. Question about HFCC Financial Aid

    1rarejewel replied to Flaird's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I have a similar situation. I registered for 12 credits and got my award letter a few months ago. I took 12 because I needed the full award amount to pay for my nursing classes and books. When I...

  10. Can I pout for just a second?

    1rarejewel replied to Carmen29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Everyone has their strong areas and their not so strong ones. I applaud you on your GPA in Business. I don't think I would have done so well in that area. Though biological science is one of my...

    1rarejewel replied to Anne36's topic in Michigan Nursing

  18. Do Cheaters Annoy You?

    1rarejewel replied to modelmama07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ITA....it burns my butt when I see people cheating, be it on exams or assignments. There has been plenty of times when I didn't study, be it because I didn't have the time, or the desire, but I...

  19. Taking A & P II and Pharmacology at the same time?

    1rarejewel replied to mellb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's very doable. Would it be a regular or accelerated semester? Right now I have Micro, A&PII, and Pharm. So far I'm holding at an A in all of my classes (we'll see during these last couple of...

    1rarejewel replied to PurposebyDesign's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1rarejewel replied to sluggersgirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took the NET as well. The TEAS is different, as it is longer, including Science, as well as the Math and Reading the NET requires. I know people that have done not so great on both and passed...
