  1. about mcc's HESI

    SnowStar4 replied to solidus's topic in Michigan Nursing

    This year there is the original 120 then they are adding 30 more. That's 10 people per start for Oct, January, and March. I'm assuming they will add the full 40 next year. They didn't give those of us...

  2. MCC or SC4?

    SnowStar4 replied to clove123's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm not sure about the details, but it sounds like MCC is admitting more students starting with our class that starts in october. They said they are adding 10 students to each starting point to make...

  3. about mcc's HESI

    SnowStar4 replied to solidus's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I feel like there was 20 or so questions in each section and there is not the same amount in each one. It's few enough that getting more than one or two in each section can get you in trouble. I...

  4. MCC name tag

    SnowStar4 posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    Did everyone order their name tag from Dove? I ordered my uniforms a while back but didn't read the manual to see that I needed a name tag as well. Now when I go to the site I cannot find them on...

  5. MCC Supplies

    SnowStar4 replied to inspire's topic in Michigan Nursing

    That's good to know. What kind of eye protection, like safety glasses? The manual says bandage scissors, stethoscope, a watch, and pen, did you hear of anything else? I need to make a friend who is...

  6. Question about mcc's admission process

    SnowStar4 replied to solidus's topic in Michigan Nursing

    It's important that everyone sends in their HS transcripts anyway. I have a friend that was denied admission because of not sending them in. She assumed her college ones were enough. Don't stress...

  7. MCC shoe question

    SnowStar4 replied to squirrelking's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I fell like at orientation they said that as long as they aren't all funky with neon colors and stuff that they would be ok. I would save the receipt and bring a picture to ask the first day. Or,...

  8. Is anyone attending Macomb Community College?

    SnowStar4 replied to love2barn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi Tifffany, I start in October. See you then! I need to get a PDA soon too. There are so many models out there, it's hard to figure out which one to get. I found one I really like with GPS so I can...

  9. What Should I Do???

    SnowStar4 replied to jabraham99's topic in Michigan Nursing

    If nursing is what you really want, then go for it. You'll probably always regret it if you don't. And really if you already know you would start the RT program then just drop it for nursing anyway,...

  10. NWLB is crap

    SnowStar4 replied to Anne36's topic in Michigan Nursing

    1rarjewel and others: How long did it take from the time you first went to the office and then got approved? I was just wondering if there's any chance this will be complete for me before I start...

  11. Quick Question

    SnowStar4 replied to klkozicki's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I work full time, am moving cross country tomorrow, had a horrible knee surgery leaving me on crutches for 8 weeks while living alone.... and I just finished Micro and A&P2 this summer. It's a lot...

  12. NWLB is crap

    SnowStar4 replied to Anne36's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Sorry to hear that it's going bad for you too. I hope I have more luck! I wonder why they do this. If they aren't going to give you the money they should just say so, not drag you

  13. Anyone go to MCC and take the HESI

    SnowStar4 replied to nikki_0724's topic in Michigan Nursing

    So that means they all need to be completed before you even apply! That can really spread out the time span from deciding to do nursing and actually getting in. I was accepted but won't be done with...

  14. Anyone go to MCC and take the HESI

    SnowStar4 replied to nikki_0724's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Nikki, Sorry about that. Didn't mean to imply that you were BSing your way in, I meant in general. If I was in a lot of peoples' boats I probably would have taken stupid classes too to level the...

  15. Anyone go to MCC and take the HESI

    SnowStar4 replied to nikki_0724's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Since they are just going by prereq grades I would start by taking the easiest prereqs first like psych and nutrition.They are super easy and will get you back into the swing of classes so you can do...

  16. MCC loan & book question

    SnowStar4 replied to inspire's topic in Michigan Nursing

    That's not cool. I haven't ordered my uniforms yet either. I guess it's going to be an expensive

  17. MCC loan & book question

    SnowStar4 replied to inspire's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I think you could still qualify. Sure the 1500's are only 3 credits, but that is half a semester. The entire semester is 6 credits when you add the 1600's. Also, I am not sure if it is the same, but...

  18. How many people are taking their Pre-Reqs?

    SnowStar4 replied to klkozicki's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Some schools offer those classes online. You do the labs at your house. The materials are expensive, but at least you get the credit and the class over with. CCConline (colorado community college...

  19. NWLB is crap

    SnowStar4 replied to Anne36's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Anne, I didn't mean to imply that I thought you were trying to work the system. It sucks that they mislead you and weren't straight up with you. I just meant that they can't pay for everything. I...

  20. NWLB is crap

    SnowStar4 replied to Anne36's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I agree. Any money they want to give me is welcome! I'll be done with my pre-reqs in about two weeks and am already accepted into a program so hopefully I will be all set. I guess I will now

  21. NWLB is crap

    SnowStar4 replied to Anne36's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Goldie, I am going to have the exact same problem finding a job without experience. I am trying my best to get something in a hospital when I am in school, but since I am new to the healthcare...

  22. NWLB is crap

    SnowStar4 replied to Anne36's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Goldie- Did you know you were going to do nursing when you first started the NWLB process? I was wondering if I'd still have to go to all the seminars about new careers etc. even though I was already...

  23. Please Help!!!!!

    SnowStar4 replied to kirstin06's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Would Everest be a BSN or ADN? I am not familiar with them. Either way, I agree that that is way too much to pay for this field. It would be tough to pay off those loans. Go to a community college...

  24. NWLB is crap

    SnowStar4 replied to Anne36's topic in Michigan Nursing

    No Worker Left Behind It's an initiative that Granholm started a couple years ago to retrain skilled workers that have been laid off, so that they stay in Michigan. I think it has expanded to people...

  25. NWLB is crap

    SnowStar4 replied to Anne36's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I checked into the special circumstance stuff and they were quite rude to me. Apparently as a single women that used to make a living, I need to be unable to feed myself before they feel bad for me....
