This may come across as a bit strong, so apologies in advance, however: As a soon to be RT classmate of yours - I know how hard I had to BUST my butt to get into the course - just as you did. I know many RN students that "hedged" their bets by applying to both programs - part of the game I guess. However, if you TRULY want to be an RN, I think it would be terrible, if not horrible, for you to take an RT class spot of someone whom may be in your shoes yet wants to be an RT as bad as you want to be an RN. This is why I hope Macomb forces people to declare a program. It is terrible to waste the other RT student's time, study partner time, the instructor's time, resources, etc if you only go into the program with one foot into the RN program and a willingness to jump to RN at a given moment. I do not envy your decision, I had to make the same one - but I did so BEFORE I began and I went hell bent for leather into RT. Just my two cents. P.S. See you in 11 days!!

It was random rumor one hears wandering around the Science building....

I was wondering how many nurse hopefuls applied to BOTH Macomb's Nursing Program and Macomb's Respiratory Program?? Was told yesterday that the HESI for nursing dropped from 93% for the 2007 Applications to 88% for the 2008 Applications - any truth? I'm only interested in Respiratory just wonder how far down the list I might be bumped by "displaced" nurse students! Oh, BTW....any one know of a similar forum for Respiratory Therapy???
