  1. Macomb Community Graduates 2012-13

    SnowStar4 replied to LauJen's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Don't let them scare you. They try that crap every year. Several of us in my group work full time and are just fine, clean clothes every day, a social life....you get the

  2. Info for nclex questions???

    SnowStar4 replied to gj47479's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Did you ask your teacher for recommendations? I would assume they would point you in the right direction since they assigned

  3. Bunions

    SnowStar4 replied to Otessa's topic in General Nursing

    I had bunion surgery at 19 and the outcome was fantastic. Before it I was in extreme pain, couldn't touch my foot at all, could barely wear shoes at the end. I had to stop playing soccer. Since the...

  4. Costs/Questions about Macomb

    SnowStar4 replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hmm...I found St J's to be the easiest to call and talk to nurse recruiters. And they were actually pretty nice. Maybe you aren't getting the rights

  5. Appropriate Shoes for Interview

    SnowStar4 replied to chevyv's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Wearing scrubs to an interview is ridiculous and unprofessional. Wear a businiess suit. Keep the pants slightly long, with nicely kept black leather tennis shoes underneath. You will probably be more...

  6. How does a CNA get hired at a hospital !

    SnowStar4 replied to smp077's topic in Michigan Nursing

    i disagree. i found a great job and had other offers..without knowing a soul. the key is confidence and persistence. it's tough out there right now...i know it sucks but you have to have patience. i...

  7. Shoes

    SnowStar4 replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Whatever you find comfortable. I've had my same new balance pair for 2 years, wear them to every clinical and work full time. I would get ones that are more leather than mesh/holes. I've seen some...

  8. Negotiating Salary & how 2 ask if they'll pay for continuing edu.

    SnowStar4 replied to emrebeth3's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I have negotiated pay, bonuses, relocation quite successfully- when I had the experience to make them really want

    SnowStar4 replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Lau, I know how you feel. I just went through all this so I culd plan what to take over the summer. Check the oakland website. They have a program with all of the Macomb transfer info spelled out....

  10. Macomb Community College Nursing Questions

    SnowStar4 replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The Tuitions for UDM is a litter cheaper on the University center Campus. Like $500 something per credit. One thing to knw though is that it is a 32 month program, and all on campus. Plus the cohorts...

  11. Process of Hiring

    SnowStar4 replied to toi121's topic in Michigan Nursing

    An email thank you letter is never appropriate. Proper etiquette is to send a thank you in the mail. There is a difference. But while it is in the mail, by all means keep the lines of communication...

  12. Macomb CC or Bakers Program??

    SnowStar4 replied to LauJen's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Lau- That student was very innapropriate. Labor is supposed to be all about the women (and her companion...if there is one). Just use that to make yourself

  13. Macomb CC or Bakers Program??

    SnowStar4 replied to LauJen's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Some people go to Children's in detroit for peds. But no one goes to pontiac now but things could always change. They do not care where you live. 25 is a long drive to school? That's pretty basic...

  14. Macomb CC or Bakers Program??

    SnowStar4 replied to LauJen's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Yep, I'm in the program. Last year they decided they would assign the clinicals. What they do is allow you to email the front office and request days or evenings, no weekends etc and she will...

  15. Macomb CC or Bakers Program??

    SnowStar4 replied to LauJen's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Lau, I would NEVER go to a school that is not fully accredited. You will have problems pursing other degrees in the future. MCC also has a better reputation and is cheaper. As far as the drive from...

  16. Stressing and deciding on Nursing classes

    SnowStar4 replied to deevang001's topic in General Nursing

    I took A&P2, micro, nutrition, and psych all while working full time....and got all As. You just need to prioritize and stay

    SnowStar4 replied to sozo's topic in General Nursing

  18. What should I wear to see my counselor?

    SnowStar4 replied to norcalsurfer1977's topic in General Nursing

    It is always better to be overdressed than underdressed. (In all of life's

  20. being a medical assistant better than a cna

    SnowStar4 replied to margueritef's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital system in MI hires MAs as CNAs. They get paid the same. The only difference is that sometimes the MAs paid up to 30K for school to get the same job. That's 5 times more than I paid for my...

  21. CNA Jobs $14-17 possible?

    SnowStar4 replied to antmotley's topic in Michigan Nursing

    That's really weird that they got raises since they said they didn't give them out this year! But actually all of us contingent workers, which SNAs are, just actually got a pay decrease! only like...

  22. How can I be in two places at the same time?

    SnowStar4 replied to sistasoul's topic in General Nursing

    Woah, killer... That's why I said "at least in my hospital system in MI".

  23. How can I be in two places at the same time?

    SnowStar4 replied to sistasoul's topic in General Nursing

    this is a common misconception, at least in my hospital system in mi. people always think they have an hour before and after a med is due, so a 9pm can be given from 8-10 pm and be on time. this is...

  24. Added classes to the Nursing program for MCC

    SnowStar4 replied to shawnb's topic in Michigan Nursing

    A couple hours, and yes everyone goes. It is in may and people don't know their starting dates at that point. Believe me, if they decide they want you to take this class then they will make you fit it...

  25. Added classes to the Nursing program for MCC

    SnowStar4 replied to shawnb's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Did you check the pdf schedule or on webAdvisor? You will learn very quickly not to take the printed schedule very seriously, especially for clinicals. And, they like to assume you have no life and...
