  1. Nurses/Students: How often do you cry?

    ToxicShock replied to ToxicShock's topic in General Nursing

    That makes me cry just "hearing" about it. I'm glad you were there for him, I'm sure he appreciated it very much. Thank you for sharing your story

  2. Baker Students Waiting For Acceptance Post Here!!

    ToxicShock replied to jabraham99's topic in Michigan Nursing

    If, by some strange twist of fate, you don't make it into Baker do NOT beat yourself up about it. Your GPA and NET score is phenomenal and you should be proud of yourself no matter what....

  3. Microbiology at MCC

    ToxicShock replied to CorazonDeOro's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Does anyone know when registration is for next semester at MCC? I'm gonna be camped out on my computer at midnight

  4. Wages

    ToxicShock replied to clove123's topic in Michigan Nursing

    This may be a stupid question, but do wages depend on where you work? For example, would a nurse in LTC make more than one in the ER? Is there much of a pay difference between an LPN and an RN? I have...

  5. HELP! Bombed the HESI Entrance Test

    ToxicShock replied to alphadog0228's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Any update? I'm curious to see how you did the 2nd time around. You're lucky that you have that option; my school only allows the HESI once per admission cycle. Good

  6. What is MCC's Nursing Program really like?

    ToxicShock replied to lovemyhuskies's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I am not in MCC's nursing program, I am just a pre-nursing student. However, I think it's pretty safe to say that ALL nursing programs are going to be very difficult and time consuming. Some people...

  7. St. Clair County Community College

    ToxicShock replied to ldnurse1's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Were you actually in the program, left, and now have to reapply all over again? That's awful, I'm sorry that happened to you Best of luck to

  8. HFCC Pre-Nursing student

    ToxicShock replied to esunabella's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I will be taking Chemistry in Spring and then the NET shortly thereafter. I have everything else done :) We'll be waiting together, HNG1221! I recommend doing the "easiest" classes in the summer,...

  9. Do you experience jealousy from friends/family members?

    ToxicShock replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    I wish. My family thinks I'm too stupid to even get into nursing school. Apparently changing your major a few times and having tattoos makes you a moron. Who knew! You can bet that I'll be sure to...

  10. Which nursing program to pick

    ToxicShock replied to nicoleEMT's topic in Michigan Nursing

    This is a really important point! The ranking for MCC's fall '10 program will be completely different from this years (fall '09). They will be basing your admissions on A&P, microbiology, and one...

  11. Burned out!!!!!!!!

    ToxicShock replied to emilee1978's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate your reply, and I agree with you about change. Maybe I'm too naive and idealistic, but I would definitely fight for myself and my fellow nurses if we weren't being treated

  12. Burned out!!!!!!!!

    ToxicShock replied to emilee1978's topic in General Nursing

    Not a nurse yet, but... I worked in retail for almost 10 years, and I hated every minute of it. I hated having to bend over backwards for customers who would whine about not getting 10% off because...

  13. Please explain Baker College to me

    ToxicShock replied to MySimplePlan's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I agree. I have had a bad experience at Baker, and the school does not work for me; that's not to say that it won't work for you though! Do what you feel is best and weigh all of your options by...

  14. Sooo tired of patients complaining about foreign nurses' accents....

    ToxicShock replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    You live and work in Grenada, correct? If so, then your patients will expect to hear the type of dialect you use. Likewise, in the United States of America (last I checked, Grenada is not a part of...

  15. HFCC Wait list

    ToxicShock replied to HFCC29's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Thank you so much for the info, tonyal. This sounds totally kick ass and I'm going to check it out ASAP. I think it's awesome that they are continually trying to improve their program. It speaks very...

  16. HFCC Wait list

    ToxicShock replied to HFCC29's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Does that mean that you're guaranteed a spot on the wait list as long as you score the minimum on the NET and have the minimum grades/GPA? Do people who score higher on the NET and have a higher GPA...

  17. Baker pre-reqs

    ToxicShock replied to Dream2011's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I have professor O for Comp II and I love her

  18. Is this even LEGAL?!?!

    ToxicShock replied to maestrotee's topic in General Nursing

    Is it legal? Maybe. Is it ethical? Hell

  19. HFCC Wait list

    ToxicShock replied to HFCC29's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Sorry for bumping an old thread, but I'm curious as to how the wait list works. If you apply and don't get accepted, are you then put on a wait

  20. Baker pre-reqs

    ToxicShock replied to Dream2011's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Dream2011, if you don't have a "writer's packet" purchased from Baker's book store, buy it. It has a writing handbook all about grammar, word structure, APA and MLA formats, etc. It's a real handy...

  21. What is your pre-nursing GPA?

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

    Thank you! That makes me feel great!!

  22. What is your pre-nursing GPA?

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

    My classes have all been difficult, too. And thank you for the congratulations :) I'm working so

  23. What is your pre-nursing GPA?

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

    I agree! It's also frustrating that each school wants you to have certain prereqs and other schools don't. Anatomy is a staple everywhere, but some schools want a microbiology class, and others don't...

  24. What is your pre-nursing GPA?

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

    Some colleges do, some don't. The two I am applying for don't. What's weird is that my transcripts don't show any grade, just that I completed the course with a C or better to earn the credit. Do they...

  25. HELP! Bombed the HESI Entrance Test

    ToxicShock replied to alphadog0228's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I don't know what state you live in (or if it makes a difference), but I was really unhappy with the Elsevier HESI study guide. I don't feel as though it helped me either. If it makes you feel any...
