  1. LCC 2013 Applicant Roll Call

    PadawanLearner replied to SopranoKris's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Good luck to you all! Don't freak out during orientation, they will run down a list of all the things that will get you kicked from the program. It will seem overwhelming and you'll have a "what...

  2. LCC 2013 Applicant Roll Call

    PadawanLearner replied to SopranoKris's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Good luck to those of you starting the program. I graduate the 2 year program in 8 days 9 hrs (not that I'm counting down), and it's been a heck of a ride. Once you're in, don't stress about grades;...

  3. Anyone else apply to LCC's Nursing Program

    PadawanLearner replied to Rnstudent2011's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I got in too! I was wondering if I started Fall or Spring, but it says I've been accepted to the Fall 2011 program, so I assume that means I start in Fall! I'm beyond excited and will be celebrating...

  4. Anyone else apply to LCC's Nursing Program

    PadawanLearner replied to Rnstudent2011's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Double check the points you calculated when you sat down with your advisor and compare them to the letter you got. It's possible they made a mistake, if so, follow up with them. I applied too, and...

  5. Anyone applying for LCC's Nursing program this spring?

    PadawanLearner replied to HomeGrownMichiganRN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm not sure if that makes the wait anxiety better or worse :) Good luck to you! Hopefully we'll meet at

  6. Anyone applying for LCC's Nursing program this spring?

    PadawanLearner replied to HomeGrownMichiganRN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Really? The letter I got said not until the end of

  7. Admission Chances in nursng with a F?

    PadawanLearner replied to DannyA's topic in General Nursing

    First I think you need to find out how they calculate scores for entrance into nursing school. Some programs (like where I'm at), only care about the courses required for the nursing program. No...

  8. Health Care Reform

    PadawanLearner replied to Stickyrunner325's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The government won't be paying anything, every taxpayer will. The mathematics of this bill make absolutely no sense to me. The dollar amount the CBO is saying this bill will cost comes out to around...

  9. Told I won't get in to nursing school

    PadawanLearner replied to dfj22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's not the school that's setting the high standards, not really. The school has X number of seats and probably 4 times that number of students applying. The students know they have to be...

  10. Health Care is a right

    PadawanLearner replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes, on this I agree. But what is being proposed here goes far beyond regulating an industry, especially where the mandate that business and individuals purchase insurance or face penalties is...

  11. Health Care is a right

    PadawanLearner replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Moral obligation and legal authority are not the same thing. I feel a moral obligation to help the homeless, but that does not mean that I have to bring them home with

  12. Health Care is a right

    PadawanLearner replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I fail to see what the 14th amendment has to do with the question. The 14th amendment reaffirms the individual's rights as guaranteed in the Constitution. It clarifies that a person is both a...

  13. Health Care is a right

    PadawanLearner replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes abortion is legal. What makes it legal is the fact that the U.S. Supreme Court determined that the Federal Government does not have the authority to tell you that you can't. That's the...

  14. Health Care is a right

    PadawanLearner replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That's easy. The 10th Amendment. "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."...

  15. Health Care is a right

    PadawanLearner replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Sounds like you're advocating for a one world government type thing. No thanks! The UN can publish whatever it wants to, we're not bound by it. We have a little thing we like to call sovereignty,...

  16. Do anyone have advice on what to take to my first clinicals?

    PadawanLearner replied to Brianna07's topic in General Students

    I'm not yet doing clinicals, but after reading others comment on the various fluids/messes they've ended up wearing, it sounds like a good idea to bring a spare set of scrubs, just a

  17. Pre-Nursing Students: Enter here for a second to scream and let it out.

  18. CNA to Phlebotomist to Med Aide......

    PadawanLearner replied to misspink789's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I had sort of the same reaction when I found out on the first day in class. It honestly hadn't occurred to me how we would practice. There were 30 of us in the class and they broke us up into three...

  19. CNA to Phlebotomist to Med Aide......

    PadawanLearner replied to misspink789's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    hiya Misspink, good luck with phlebotomy! I took that course during summer semester and enjoyed it more than I thought I would, although my arms had enough puncture marks to make me look like a drug...

  20. Anyone else finishing prereqs and getting ready to apply?

    PadawanLearner replied to j450n's topic in Washington Nursing

    I'm taking Physiology and Pharmacology this semester. Next semester I have to take a couple of pre-reqs I was told I didn't need to take because I have a B.A., but then found out that they're...

  21. Getting commision while in school?

    PadawanLearner replied to blueman213's topic in Government, Military

    I'm seriously considering taking a direct commission myself. I think Adam is referring to the AF and its reduced combat zone roles. My uncle was a Physician's Assistant attached to an infantry...

  22. Drawing blood/phlebotomy tips and tricks

    PadawanLearner replied to CrunchRN's topic in General Nursing

    There are some people on whom I get better results with a Blood pressure cuff instead of a tourniquet. Inflate the Bp cuff as though you were taking a Bp and leave it pumped up until you draw

  23. LCC nursing program

    PadawanLearner replied to nervousnurse82's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm currently taking Physiology and Pharmacology at LCC. I will be applying to the accelerated program this coming June. After talking with an adviser a few weeks ago, the cut off scores are getting...

  24. Today I was made redundant

    PadawanLearner replied to joannep's topic in General Nursing

    As well as the term "Plutoed" (one of my favorite new words). Getting laid off can be a good thing, it's great you're looking at it that way. Don't forget about filing for unemployment (you can...
