  1. Wayne State University, DET Waiting for Response

    WayneStateKatie replied to aarin80's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Mine said "Admit" under the admissions status heading (and still says it now when I log in). As far as I know they are not conducting interviews for the traditional program (and I'm pretty involved in...

  2. Wayne State University, DET Waiting for Response

    WayneStateKatie replied to aarin80's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You won't hear until the first week of June. Applicants have until the 1st of June to submit all application materials and transcripts-- only after the deadline for materials can admissions decisions...

  3. Process of Hiring

    WayneStateKatie replied to toi121's topic in Michigan Nursing

    It may just be a healthcare related thing, but a follow up written note is appropriate. I recently attended a "what employers are looking for" seminar at my university. The woman who gave the...

    WayneStateKatie replied to laynaER's topic in General Nursing

    I recently went to a job interview skills workshop put on at my school. The presenter was a lady who has been in charge of hiring in a large hospital system for several years. She told us that when...

  5. Scrubs for big thighs?

    WayneStateKatie replied to WayneStateKatie's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have been to Anna's before, but it's been a while. I didn't have any luck with their off the rack pants but did notice that they will make custom scrubs. I hadn't really thought about altering...

  6. Need to find an accelerated BSN program that I can get into!

    WayneStateKatie replied to SuperNova153's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your undergraduate GPA is less than stellar but you already know that. While it may exclude you from some programs others are willing to give students another shot. If you have competitive GPA in...

  7. CNA Jobs $14-17 possible?

    WayneStateKatie replied to antmotley's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to tell the couple gals I know who are over at the DMC. They just got bumped up to over 15 after their raise....Yikes. They should be making more (and we can all...

  8. CNA Jobs $14-17 possible?

    WayneStateKatie replied to antmotley's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Good CNAs are ALWAYS needed. They're an integral member of the health care team and helping people with duties they can't perform themselves can be very rewarding. If that's what you're passionate...

  9. Any WSU students take A&P in Spring/Summer??

    WayneStateKatie replied to espo44's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm in the traditional program and have one year left after this one. We do take some classes at the same times as CD2ers though. The ones we had all first semester classes with graduated this past...

  10. Any WSU students take A&P in Spring/Summer??

    WayneStateKatie replied to espo44's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I know this is an old thread but thought I'd bump it up for you. The teacher who is teaching this summer is notoriously hard and he's the one that usually teaches (I think last year someone else did...

    WayneStateKatie posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Hi everyone! I'm not exactly sure which shoes I want to get when I start my clinicals. I owned my first pair of birkenstocks in 5th grade and have been hooked ever since. I find them pretty...

  12. Scrub Colors!

    WayneStateKatie posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    I was perusing allheart.com looking at scrubs and they come in such a wide variety of colors! I was amazed because it seems whenever I'm at a hospital everyone is wearing the same boring blue. What...

  13. ADN or BSN????

    WayneStateKatie replied to MsAshley's topic in Michigan Nursing

    For the what it's worth department Wayne State took 48 in the traditional program both fall 2008 and fall 2009 not 80. They also accepted 48 both years in the accelerated second degree program for...

  14. Colleges drop RN_BSN programs

    WayneStateKatie replied to camjones's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm sad to hear that. I'm not sure if they are canceled for good, or if it is just temporary and will return once the economy improves and schools are not facing the terrible budget cuts to their...

    WayneStateKatie posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have a HUGE careplan due on Monday. I've gathered all my info done all the background research on my patho, and I"ve got all the basic assessment and situational stuff out of the way. I've been...

  16. How does a nurse refrain from weight gain? ;)

    WayneStateKatie replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    I can usually find a microwave in the (dreaded) vending machine area. The vending machine in the library sells popcorn so they have a microwave right there. There is also one in the vending machine...

  20. what was the ratio of girls to guys in your nursing school class?

    WayneStateKatie replied to Ted D's topic in General Nursing

    I'm surprised at some of the low numbers I'm seeing on here! 48 of us were accepted last fall and there are 18 or so guys. Over a third of my program is comprised of male students-- I would hate...

    WayneStateKatie replied to LisaCarterMA's topic in Michigan Nursing

  24. Need Advice Regarding Baker College

    WayneStateKatie replied to persephone162's topic in General Nursing

    If you look in the Michigan forum there are a ton of threads about Baker. And it doesn't matter what your GPA is-- what matters is how many points you have. If you search those threads you will see...

    JeffreyD I emailed you--check your inbox. And remember they don't care what your overall GPA is, just what your GPA is in the specific prereq courses they have
