  1. WCCCD Spring 2012 Hopefuls

    SmackerNurse replied to Chef.Jackie's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Good luck guys!!!! WCCCD nursing program is tough, fast paced and expect the disorganization to continue throughout the program. Get used to it now, because it will get worse. Your first semester...

  2. wcccd Spring 2011

    SmackerNurse replied to 2011SpringHopeful's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Congrats to all who were accepted. I can't believe it has been almost a year (May 2010) since I graduated from WCCCD. I started working as a nurse intern after graduating and then took and passed...

  3. WCCCD

    SmackerNurse replied to MsAshley's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I don't believe that is what the OP was doing and I don't think it's fair to ASSUME that. OP, you are doing the right thing by comparing schools, taking prereq's that correlate with most schools and...

  4. WCCCD Spring 2010 starting soon

    SmackerNurse replied to Cayles1102's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Doswald1, did you say that you started in spring 2006? I know a lot of people who started that semester and graduated in Dec 2007 or May 2008. They are doing phenomenal in OB, ICU and some are even...

  5. WCCCD Spring 2010 starting soon

    SmackerNurse replied to Cayles1102's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Yes, there are! You can't always go by the composites for each graduating class either, because there are about 12 people in our class who didn't get their picture taken. congratulations on...

  6. WCCCD, Applying for fall 2010

    SmackerNurse replied to nurs101's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I just graduated from WCCCD nursing program and I can tell you this...the program is tough and there are those instructors that if you do not have thick skin will get to you...but that is no different...

  7. Are any hospitals hiring grad nurses in metro area?

    SmackerNurse replied to Lisa621's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I was one of the lucky ones who got an extern position at a local hospital. I graduate in May as well, and I was offered a position on my shift, full-time. In fact, everyone I know who is an extern...

    SmackerNurse replied to Heart_Shaped_Rocks's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Zembalina, I see you were a victim of the drug test dilemma

  9. WCCCD Spring 2010 Hopefuls

    SmackerNurse replied to Heart_Shaped_Rocks's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I know the waiting seems impossible, but every nursing student has had to wait to get their acceptance/sorry letters. They will come in due time. In the meantime, this is a great opportunity to...

  10. Support Thread WCCCD Western 2009 students

    SmackerNurse replied to ladycj's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You might want to get a copy of the reading assignments for 110 and 111. I can tell you they don't go in order of the chapters. I can't find my copies of the syllabus, otherwise I would post it...

  11. WCCCD starting in January 2009

    SmackerNurse replied to mello1177's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Just finished my first semester! The advice I can give is this: pre-read before lecture. If you have Mrs. D for lecture then record her lectures and listen for key points that she repeats in class....

    SmackerNurse posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

  13. WCCC does NOT have an accredited nursing program

    SmackerNurse replied to nurseO9's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Schoolcraft isn't accredited by the NLNAC and you never hear anything about that. When I graduate from WCCCD and pass the NCLEX I will be able to continue my education at any University in Michigan as...

  14. Wcccd Nursing Students-how Did U Do For The 1st Half??

    SmackerNurse replied to missgigius's topic in Michigan Nursing

    SmackerNurse replied to Tiffie1210's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Holy cow, Silly Rabbit!!!! I am glad I was accepted. The previous medical experience would have really messed me up. Good luck to everyone who is applying for Spring 09...Keep your spirits up, I...

  17. Wccd application meeting

    SmackerNurse replied to Tiffie1210's topic in Michigan Nursing

    There is no way of knowing their rationale for starting this, and I won't speak for the nursing department. However, I will say that the 12 credit hour policy is a WCCCD policy and that the nursing...

  18. WCCCD New Northwest campus

    SmackerNurse posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    So all you WCCCD nursing students; what do you think of the new NW campus. Here are my insights on it: I think it is a 100% improvement over the old campus, it appears to be much cleaner, at least...

  19. WCCCD New Northwest campus

    SmackerNurse replied to SmackerNurse's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Your probably right about the security. I live 5 minutes from Western and I don't like to drive long distances so EVERY neighborhood is bad in my small minded opinion LOL. Even my own neighborhood...

  20. WCCCD Deadlines

    SmackerNurse replied to Veritable_RN's topic in Michigan Nursing

  21. HELP! Please! RN License question.

    SmackerNurse replied to lovedasonanddemi's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I am assuming you are talking about nursing classes...which you have to take in a certain sequence. You can not take more or less nursing classes they are predetermined. As for other classes, you...

  22. HELP! Please! RN License question.

    SmackerNurse replied to lovedasonanddemi's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You are correct about WCCCD. You must complete Eng 119, Psy 101, Bio 240, Bio 250 and Bio 295 before applying to the program. I am assuming the sixth prereq you are referring to is Bio 155 which you...

  23. Wccd application meeting

    SmackerNurse replied to Tiffie1210's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Jabraham99, you might want to go to an information meeting first. For one thing it is mandatory to attend one in order to apply and, secondly, if I am not mistaken I believe Fall 2008 was the LAST...

  24. WCCCD nursing essay

    SmackerNurse replied to MISSALISSA777's topic in Michigan Nursing
