  1. Why does it take 1-2 years to get into a program?

    WayneStateKatie replied to BabyFly's topic in General Nursing

    Since you already have a bachelors you have so many options. You could do a second degree accelerated program-- Eastern in ypsi offers them although I'm not sure if they do one every year. U of M...

  2. Goal Statement for OU Accelerated-Second Degree Program

    WayneStateKatie replied to JazzyOneRN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    That's great! I'm glad Wayne decided to do that-- now you get to use your one essay for both applications. I really think that personal statements are so important and I'm glad Wayne did decide to...

  3. Goal Statement for OU Accelerated-Second Degree Program

    WayneStateKatie replied to JazzyOneRN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'd assume double spaced since that is pretty standard. If it's not specified, always double space. If you did your essay single spaced, I think the admissions person who had to read so many words...

  4. transferring undergrad

    WayneStateKatie replied to 2bJoshRN9788's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Having attended 5 (yes really 5 colleges but the first 3 were when I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life...) I can tell you that the difficulty of classes and expectations are VERY different...

  5. In need of advice, please?

    WayneStateKatie replied to RN2B73's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm so sorry you're in a less than ideal situation right now:( The economy is so tough right now, and I know how difficult it can be to not have employment. Where have you applied? What types of...

  6. Returning for my RN advice

    WayneStateKatie replied to stykerforce's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think I would stick to that hellish schedule for 18,000 a year. I make very close to that working as a part time manager in retail and used to make more than I do now when I was working in a...

  7. HELP! Best Michigan Hospital to Work

    WayneStateKatie replied to amylburk's topic in Michigan Nursing

    At least it's a good reputation :wink2: I'm always glad to hear someone actually like the place they work (for once); it's very refreshing and gives the rest of us students hope for happy future...

  8. HELP! Best Michigan Hospital to Work

    WayneStateKatie replied to amylburk's topic in Michigan Nursing

    If you end up in Royal Oak the commute isn't bad at all. I live in Royal Oak and commute down to Detroit everyday (student at Wayne still). Wayne state is right near the DMC and Henry Ford and it...

  9. A & P.....using index cards..........

    WayneStateKatie replied to karen230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I used flash cards for ALL my classes-- they really work for me! I had 100% in A&P 1 and a 98% in A&P 2. I've used note cards since high school and they have helped me maintain great grades....

  10. The Best Hospitals List

    WayneStateKatie replied to DanFNP's topic in General Nursing

    Are they with decimal points or with a colon? The way numbers are presented can mean very different things. Like a ratio of 1:7 would be one nurse for seven patients. Perhaps in the system they are...

  11. The Best Hospitals List

    WayneStateKatie replied to DanFNP's topic in General Nursing

    Ratios are always one nurse to x number of patients. Although sometimes it would be nice to have 7 nurses for only one patient I don't think that's really realistic

  12. Long Distance Relationships and Nursing School

    WayneStateKatie replied to casi's topic in General Students

    I haven't personally thrown the long distance component into the mix, but I can understand how stressful this combo will potentially be. I just wanted to offer a little encouragement-- if you're...

  13. Misdemeanor OCC

    WayneStateKatie replied to fetachz's topic in Michigan Nursing

    If you're that concerned about it I'd call the nursing department in the morning. Tell them your situation-- be honest and disclose everything and see what they have to say. No one on here will have...

  14. question about oakland university second degree program gpa

    WayneStateKatie replied to shehak20000's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I don't think they were judging people by looks and attractiveness but perhaps for good general hygiene and grooming? I totally think it's wrong to admit based on attractiveness, but in public health...

  15. What do CRNa´s earn per year in the US

    WayneStateKatie replied to Icenurse's topic in General Nursing

    look at http://www.salary.com. Enter the zip code and nurse anesthetist in the job title portion. This website will give you the average salary for a CRNA in the areas of the country you are...

  16. HFCC Year 1 Books Cost/Need

    WayneStateKatie replied to mybrowneyedgirl's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Try amazon.com too. Sometimes they have great deals. I got my lehne pharm book on there for 50 bucks (I think it's now gone back up to 55.17) and the bookstore was charging well over 80. I also got...

  17. Cna Help!

    WayneStateKatie replied to mac212marco's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You're probably going to make about $10 or $11 as a CNA. Pay can range depending on facility, length of employment, and a variety of other factors. You could make considerably more per hour if you...

  18. Lpn Program On Eastside

    WayneStateKatie replied to Dennie044's topic in Michigan Nursing

    A lot of schools near you don't offer LPN but do offer RN programs (just curious as to why you wouldn't consider going for your RN-- Macomb community college has an exceptional program and is the...

  19. Please Help!!!!!

    WayneStateKatie replied to kirstin06's topic in Michigan Nursing

    If you're going to go to a LPN program be aware that your job opportunities will be far fewer than with a RN degree. Most hospitals are phasing out LPNs-- most job opportunities for LPNs are in long...

  20. Do I loose my position as intern if i fail my nclex?

    WayneStateKatie replied to nori28's topic in Michigan Nursing

    If you fail your NCLEX it's a pretty standard policy that you are no longer eligible to work as a graduate nurse and that you will be most likely moved into a nurses aide or a tech position. They...

  21. I passed

    WayneStateKatie replied to rn2b2011's topic in Michigan Nursing

    :clphnds: Congrats and I hope your wait isn't too long/goes by

  22. I didn't get accepted

    WayneStateKatie replied to kimistry511's topic in General Nursing

    Actually most community colleges in michigan are doing away with the wait list. Henry ford has one and you can put your name on it as a backup. Wayne county community college district has switched...

  23. Rn New Grad Pay in Michigan?

    WayneStateKatie replied to PACIFICWHALES's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I have no idea about Mackinac island... but I'd really rethink moving there year round. No motorized vehicles + a foot of snow in the winter isn't something I'd be willing to do...... also a lot of...

  24. Rn New Grad Pay in Michigan?

    WayneStateKatie replied to PACIFICWHALES's topic in Michigan Nursing

    It varies pretty greatly throughout the state. Which area do you want to know about? If you're more specific I and/or someone else can help you out

  25. What was school like for you and other questions...

    WayneStateKatie replied to goodgalpal's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi Andrea. Good luck with all your classes and getting into the program-- sounds like a lot of competition for only a few spots. I am going to start Wayne State's nursing program this fall. I got in...
