  1. anyone else required the use MedsPub?

    WayneStateKatie replied to JettaDP's topic in General Students

    Our school uses it too. We didn't have to purchase it-- it's probably covered in tuition and all those course material fees we had to pay. We have a medspub component in each class for the entire...

    WayneStateKatie replied to shoppergirl's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I think mostly private colleges you can apply right into the undergrad nursing school (I know at Georgetown in DC you apply right to the college of nursing and start first semester). At all the public...

    WayneStateKatie replied to kyla_tiara's topic in Michigan Nursing

    WayneStateKatie replied to CandyGyrl's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hey candygyrl I was wondering whatever happened to you! I'm so glad that you are loving your program through HFHS (I saw on another thread you posted on that it's going well). Congrats and I'm so...

    WayneStateKatie replied to AngelaAnn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I don't know anything about UD mercy but I can tell you about wayne. Wayne State does NOT have a wait list. They admit once a year and it is competitive based on GPA in prerequisite courses as well...

  8. Wayne's Clinical attire

    WayneStateKatie posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    So I got my acceptance packet and the sheet for appropriate clinical attire was kind of vague. I just got white polos because that seemed pretty straight forward as did the white knee length lab coat...

  9. hello everyone! i need a little advice.

    WayneStateKatie replied to kayboggie's topic in General Nursing

    Hello and welcome to all nurses. While I can't address your NYU specific questions I'll do my best to tackle some of your other questions. Nurses usually work 12 hour shifts, 3 days per week. You...

  10. Thoughts on OCC nursing teachers.

    WayneStateKatie replied to fetachz's topic in Michigan Nursing

    She was "bumping" the thread back up to the top of this forum by posting a new reply. Bumping a thread to the top will make it seen by more people, and thus it is more likely to garner a reply. Hope...

  11. BSN question

    WayneStateKatie replied to esunabella's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi esunabella, In the US students who attend a community college's registered nursing program and students who attend a four year university are both RNs. There is no difference in job title or scope...

  12. BSN question

    WayneStateKatie replied to esunabella's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Even if you wanted to go full time and didn't work at all it would still take more than the year to complete. Assuming you have a lot of the other courses done and didn't have to take them there is...

  13. BSN question

    WayneStateKatie replied to esunabella's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Be aware that universities have a limit on the amount of credits they will let you transfer from a community college. I would speak with both Eastern and Oakland about your future plans to transfer....

  14. BSN question

    WayneStateKatie replied to esunabella's topic in Michigan Nursing

    A BSN at a university will take you 2 or 3 years once admitted to a program. You will spend the first year or two working on prereqs to be admitted to the nursing program. If you have your associates...

  15. Shoes and scrubs question

    WayneStateKatie replied to HFCC29's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I've ordered some items through allheart.com too. They have very good prices, but I was less than impressed with their customer service department. And their size charts were NOT accurate at all. I...

  16. Shoes and scrubs question

    WayneStateKatie replied to HFCC29's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I really like life uniform. They had a pretty good selection of tall/petite scrubs and they did carry plus sizes. They also had wide selection of regular scrubs too. They did have quite a few shoes...

    WayneStateKatie replied to AtomicWoman's topic in General Students

    For the what it's worth department: we're using Essentials of Pathophysiology: Concepts of Altered Health States by Porth. I've just started thumbing through it (we start next week), but so far I...

  18. Baker College Questions

    WayneStateKatie replied to amberanh's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Welcome to all nurses! There are a TON of posts about baker in the michigan forum (we're an active chatty bunch over there). There were a few gals who applied in this last admissions round and...

  19. Just applied to OCC

    WayneStateKatie replied to fetachz's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The accelerated ADN is a division of the RN program. This past year was the first year they offered it. Students didn't "apply" to the accelerated RN program; everyone merely applied to a program...

  20. transfering credits to WCCCD

    WayneStateKatie replied to Tiffie1210's topic in Michigan Nursing

    It's been stated on this board that the rule is already in effect. I believe the fall 08 class was the last one that students who had not completed 12 credits at WCCCD could apply and be accepted...

  21. Reading Comprehension Help for the NET!!

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

    I would say the correct answer is D because it is the most all encompassing item. A, B, and C are all specific things the narrator saw, and s/he he only was able to see them via the use of the...

  22. Starting pay at Beaumont

    WayneStateKatie replied to sleepynurse2008's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The cost of living here is so much lower. You might find your 60,000 in michigan will buy you a lot more than your 100,000 would in northern california. Use this neat tool...

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