  1. Scrubs for big thighs?

    WayneStateKatie posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have seen a couple posts for "pear shaped" womens scrub suggestions. My problem exceeds being pear shaped and I have tried many of the aforementioned scrub brands on with no success. The only...

  2. Wayne State University, DET Waiting for Response

    WayneStateKatie replied to aarin80's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You can purchase it through NSO. That is the recommended company and it's about 30 bucks for student malpractice insurance for the year so not too horribly

  3. Wayne State University, DET Waiting for Response

    WayneStateKatie replied to aarin80's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I had the HepB series done previously in the 90s so just brought my immunization record in to the student clinic and they noted all the dates on the paper (Thanks mom for being so on it and making me...

  4. Wayne State University, DET Waiting for Response

    WayneStateKatie replied to aarin80's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Also don't freak out about all the clinical requirement stuff- they will hand out all the forms at orientation and it's very straightforward. I got all my stuff done at the campus health center for a...

    Wow haven't been on here in forever but great to see so many excited posters. :ancong!: to all accepted. I really liked the program and know you will too. I noticed a few talking about CPR. Wayne...

  6. Wayne State University

    WayneStateKatie replied to SillyRabbit's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The nursing staff only take your prereqs for nursing into consideration when calculating your GPA which it seems will work out in your favor. Attend a nursing info session (they're once a month) or...

  7. GN looking for an apartments in Royal Oak

    WayneStateKatie replied to Jamie O.'s topic in Michigan Nursing

    Welcome to the area and congrats on the internship! I really like Royal Oak and know you'll love the area as well. I have a classmate starting the critical care internship and one in the ICU there...

  8. Opinions--> Nurse tech VS. CNA?

    WayneStateKatie replied to JennNHD24's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I worked as a nurse tech but usually these positions are only for those enrolled in a nursing program (my hospital employees RN students in this capacity) who have completed at least one clinical...

  9. Wayne State University, DET Waiting for Response

    WayneStateKatie replied to aarin80's topic in Michigan Nursing

    That was not my intent, and if it came across that way I sincerely apologize. Let's just chalk it up to things not always translating on an internet forum. I do get quite passionate and fired up and...

  10. Wayne State University, DET Waiting for Response

    WayneStateKatie replied to aarin80's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Just because it's hard to get into and there are not many slots open does not mean one shouldn't apply... That's not a unique situation; hundreds of students are turned away from every nursing...

  11. Any adn nurse programs across the country that have little to no waitlist w/o being a

    WayneStateKatie replied to WhatItTakes1290's topic in General Nursing

    What about community colleges in northern Michigan? The programs in the metro area are all exceedingly competitive, but several programs upstate exist. I am doing my community health rotation up in...

  12. New Grad Job Outlook

    WayneStateKatie replied to kvisintine's topic in Michigan Nursing

    In order to be a nurse tech you already have to be enrolled in a nursing program and completed a certain number of courses... I got my job as a tech following completion of an extern program offered...

  13. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    WayneStateKatie replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    Well this is not nursing related but thought I'd throw it out here anyway (the glut of ouija board stories a couple pages back reminded me of this story). As it has been pointed out previously the...

  14. questions about occ lpn program? please help!

    WayneStateKatie replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Want2banursesoon, It's a good idea to keep your options open, but it sounds like you have a very good shot at an RN program with your GPA. If you were to get into both, I would recommend the RN...

  15. Wayne State Nursing Program

    WayneStateKatie replied to ChelsNurse2B's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm in my last year and I honestly don't have one bad thing to say about the program other than I'm frustrated that the tuition keeps going up (but that's a university wide issue and one that almost...

  16. Michigander BSN student worried about getting job when graduates! What to do NOW?

    WayneStateKatie replied to fortunato's topic in General Nursing

    I know it's probably not what you're wanting to hear, but the number one thing they're looking for right now is experience. Things are not the greatest in Detroit at the moment, and landing that...

  17. What did you do before you were a nurse?

    WayneStateKatie replied to CAPPYBARA BREAKFAST's topic in General Nursing

    Nanny for 3 children, state-certified forensics judge (it's high school competitive public speaking-- not anything related to dead bodies like most people think!), waitress/hostess at an upscale...

  18. Equipment stores in Metro Detroit or Saginaw?

    WayneStateKatie replied to RNstdntSVSU's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I also really like Life Uniform (though I usually use the one at 13 and woodward by Beaumont). Anna's Uniforms on Woodward north of 9 mile has a very large selection too (and they will make custom...

  19. Need physical exam!!!

    WayneStateKatie replied to AM FRANCES's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm surprised that it seems like so many people are having to pay out of pocket for their own physicals and drug screens before employment (though I understand incurring the costs for a school...

  20. I want to be a Nurse!

    WayneStateKatie replied to Cassandraann's topic in General Nursing

    What about a school that only looks at your prerequisite GPA? Many community colleges and universities for a traditional program in my area base admissions off of your GPA in prereq courses only...

  21. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    WayneStateKatie replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    I remember that book! Franemtnurse I don't think that comment was meant to be sarcastic or mean at all. Perhaps you just aren't familiar with the Curious George books. I read them as a child and...

  22. Need physical exam!!!

    WayneStateKatie replied to AM FRANCES's topic in Michigan Nursing

    If you're just in the process of applying for "medical programs," it's unusual you would need a physical exam right at this second. Often only once you've been admitted to a school's program will...

  23. does every nursing program in southeast michigan have a wait??

    WayneStateKatie replied to kylefromMI's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Actually you're at one of only two in the area who even do a waitlist. Currently the only CC's with a wait list are Henry Ford and Schoolcraft (and yes, the wait at Henry Ford is probably as long as...

  24. Anyone apply to the accelerated Michigan State University or U of M program for '10?

    WayneStateKatie replied to UpNorthTC's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I just thought I would jump in and clarify for those who seem to be confused (and there seem to be quite a few from the looks of this thread). I hope it might help some (and for others if it's...

  25. Wayne State University, DET Waiting for Response

    WayneStateKatie replied to aarin80's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I think it's July 15th not June 15th for the traditional student orientation (at least I hope so because that's the day I requested off with my manager)... No idea how many applied Jon2000 sorry! But...
