  1. New here, from Wayne state, few questions!

    WayneStateKatie replied to Donald's topic in Michigan Nursing

    JeffreyD I go to Wayne State and am in the nursing program. They do not admit 100 students a year per program. Fall 2008 they admitted 48 into the traditional and 48 into the CD2 program NOT 100 or...

  2. Housing in Detroit

    WayneStateKatie replied to lvtrn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    If you're just using it for a place to crash a few nights a week Hancock Towers in midtown Detroit (where henry ford is located-less than a mile away) is relatively inexpensive. They have studio...

  3. Need Direction

    WayneStateKatie replied to suitebliss's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I haven't had any luck yet finding a position and I finished my first year as well (and with fairly good grades to boot!)... I've come to the conclusion that it's really not a matter of what you know...

  4. Wayne State Accelerated Program

    WayneStateKatie replied to mariasmomma's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I didn't know they did an early acceptance either I hadn't heard anything about it around the CON... Hi christinajoy! I was just thinking about you as I think it was about this time last year I was on...

  5. support socks?

    WayneStateKatie replied to Lisa621's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I have spring step "greta" clogs (think knock off danskos.....) that I got at Life uniform as well. They're comfy-- never tried the nurse mates but I hope they'll be comfortable for you We need...

  6. support socks?

    WayneStateKatie replied to Lisa621's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I wear support socks for clinicals and I think they do help. I am technically obese (I'm a size 12 and obese on the bmi scale but 3 more pounds and I'm back to overweight -- first year in the...

  7. Best white shoes for clinicals?

    WayneStateKatie replied to Lisa621's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Spring Step "greta" clogs. Bought them at life uniform-- they're just like dansko's but they're about 50 bucks instead of over 100. Plus I thought the soles were a lot more comfy than dansko's when I...

  8. BSN ?

    WayneStateKatie replied to ChelsNurse2B's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi there and congrats on your decision to attend a university! Both schools you mentioned have excellent nursing programs. I'm in the program at Wayne State and I absolutely love it, and I know...

  9. How well do Bakers credits transfer??

    WayneStateKatie replied to cgallagher's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Some of them transfer, some of them don't. Even when they do transfer, a lot of times it will just be as "electives" and will rarely transfer as the same class. I just did some poking around on...

  10. University verses Community College

    WayneStateKatie replied to lovedasonanddemi's topic in Michigan Nursing

    It's three years long. They assume the "first year" of the four you are taking prerequisites (though I took two to do them as did most people). The nursing program itself is three fall and three...

  11. University verses Community College

    WayneStateKatie replied to lovedasonanddemi's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Both are great options and will get you where you want to be which is an RN. Community colleges are great options because they are less expensive and are shorter in length. For me, I chose a...

  12. Wayne Sate Second Career Nursin Program

    WayneStateKatie replied to msnice1's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You can do a quick check at http://www.transfer.wayne.edu You can pick your school and see what classes will transfer to wayne and their equivalent. It's not a complete list though and Wayne state...

  13. Wayne Sate Second Career Nursin Program

    WayneStateKatie replied to msnice1's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I am in the traditional program (started last fall) and the admissions process is exactly the same for both programs. If you have any questions about that I should be able to answer them since I"ve...

  14. Microbiology at MCC

    WayneStateKatie replied to CorazonDeOro's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I believe OCC implemented that priority registration system too. People who have taken more credits there get first crack at classes and the sciences always fill up.... I know Wayne (and probably...

  15. Wayne State University

    WayneStateKatie replied to SillyRabbit's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Yup you do. They don't accept high school classes. Unless you took advanced placement chemistry in high school and scored a 3 or higher on the advanced placement exam Wayne won't give you credit....

  16. Stethoscope question for MCC Students

    WayneStateKatie replied to sasmith525's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I don't go to MCC but I debated between those two stethoscopes too. I ended up going with the classic II SE and have been very pleased with my choice. Even though Littman's have that "tunable"...

  17. Is anyone currently attending MSU and applying to different schools??

    WayneStateKatie replied to GoGreen1221's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Are you in MSU's nursing program already and are looking to transfer to another nursing program? Or are you doing prereqs at MSU and are interested in applying to the listed colleges for nursing? If...

  18. Oakland Univ. Accelerated Second-Degree Program Questions

    WayneStateKatie replied to bronzemint23's topic in Michigan Nursing

    It varies from year to year but I expect the numbers of applicants will only keep increasing. For some reason the CD2 program was freakishly hard to get into. Over a thousand usually apply. Of...

  19. Anyone considering other options in healthcare if you don't get accepted into nursing

    WayneStateKatie replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I know what you mean-- I HATED those large auditorium classes too. It's nice to go from a class of 400 something in prereqs to a class of 40 something in the program. Last semester I only had class on...

  20. Oakland Univ. Accelerated Second-Degree Program Questions

    WayneStateKatie replied to bronzemint23's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Wayne doesn't wait list. They have competitive admissions based on GPA in prereq classes and have a personal statement. Either you're in or out and if you don't make it you can apply again for next...

  21. Anyone considering other options in healthcare if you don't get accepted into nursing

    WayneStateKatie replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The program takes three years after you are admitted. The four years comes from assuming you did all your prereqs in one year (although I took two to do them; everyone else I have spoken to in the...

  22. Anyone considering other options in healthcare if you don't get accepted into nursing

    WayneStateKatie replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Actually only 48 of us were accepted this past fall into the traditional program not 60. I don't think that average GPA of 3.6 is right-- no one in my admitted class I've talked to had below a 3.7......

  23. Getting discouraged about nursing school....

    WayneStateKatie replied to denise0815's topic in General Nursing

    I just finished my first semester in a BSN program. I worked part time as a retail assistant manager, I hung out with friends and my husband, I went shopping, out to eat, and even watched TV and...

  24. Limitied Opportunity in Michigan

    WayneStateKatie replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Michigan Nursing

    OCC has a LPN program and I know schoolcraft is switching to a ladder program so students can stop after completing the LPN portion or can continue on to complete the RN portion of the program....

  25. Accepted at MSU!

    WayneStateKatie replied to TheSeeker's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Congrats on your acceptance! I bought my littman steth online (and love it!) for a great price, but when you factor in shipping it probably ended up being like 5-10 bucks less than if I'd bought it...
