  1. Foot Detox

    ToxicShock replied to country mom's topic in General Nursing

    If you believe in miracles... I'd still like to know what kind of "toxins" are being eliminated with these food pads. Colon cleansing seems like another pseudoscience. What kind of "toxins" are...

  3. Wait list v. no wait list, and other related Q's

    ToxicShock replied to ToxicShock's topic in Michigan Nursing

  5. More Baker College questions.

    ToxicShock replied to shannonmarie7's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I can't even begin to describe how angry this makes me. People like that need to NOT apply to nursing school, and should go someplace else. She is taking up a spot that someone else who REALLY wants...

  6. Baker College of Flint...Need some advice!

    ToxicShock replied to dewberrysquish's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm taking A+P at Baker in Clinton Twp this year. I don't know if we dissect animals, but there IS a lab, and I'm sure that's going to involve some kind of hands-on tissue examining, etc. I'll let you...

  9. Nursing options???

    ToxicShock replied to littlesquirt's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Death, poop, puke, blood, needles, snot, pus... If any of that makes you queasy, think about a different profession. I don't think many people realize how "unglamourous" nursing can be. Best of luck...

  10. HELP! I may need to drop out of nursing school!

    ToxicShock replied to floridagrl2000's topic in General Nursing

    Don't take off time after graduating. There are so many pre-nursing students who want to work as nurses now, busting their butts trying to get in to a highly competitive program. Don't do it until...

  11. seriously considering quitting my job--need suggestions

    ToxicShock replied to rholman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why do you want to be a nurse? Because your job sucks and you need a change? Wrong answer. If your heart isn't 100% into it, you shouldn't do it. Not only for your own sake, but for those who want to...

  12. Regulation Proposed to Help Protect Health Care Providers from Discrimination

    ToxicShock replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    ToxicShock replied to zattie's topic in General Nursing

  17. HESI @ MCC questions

    ToxicShock posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    I am getting close-ish to taking the HESI, and I want to prepare now. I took out a couple "nursing school entrance exam" books at the library, and I want to know what specifically I should study. My...

    ToxicShock replied to ToxicShock's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm working on some of the practice tests. My main struggle is in math, though. Percents, square roots, probability, fractions... No idea. I'm thinking about going to the learning center to work with...

  21. Chemistry online at Macomb??

    ToxicShock replied to gemberly's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I've never taken an online class so I can't offer much support in that regard. However, if having the highest possible grade is important to you, take the class in person. Chemistry is tough, and...
