  1. Tv shows that dictate nurses as a "janitor"

    John20 replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Who cares. Control what you can control. I clean up poop yet my self-esteem is still

  2. MCC name tag

    John20 replied to SnowStar4's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You are given a name tag by MCC when you enter the program. You don't need to order

  3. Male Nurse and Sexual Comments

    John20 replied to Turd.Ferguson's topic in General Nursing

    This guy is really dumb. Everybody should know better than to talk like that. As far as being afraid of the guy, the posters are a little nutty themselves. Quotes like that are very common in...

  4. will universal healthcare ( in the usa) cut RN pay?

    John20 replied to Trauma_Team_1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Boy what a pointless 13 pages of jibberish this forum has been. I saw maybe two posts on the change in RN pay with universal healthcare and the rest of the posts have been socialogical debates....

  5. MCC shoe question

    John20 replied to squirrelking's topic in Michigan Nursing

    This is a funny thread. It reveals the anal-retentive nature of people who got in the program. I've actually had several of the same thoughts myself about shoes or measuring my wife's sew job on my...

  6. How does everyone wind down after work?

    John20 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    I like to watch sports. Any sports, Sportscenter, Baseball, Olympics, Football (almost here YEA!), even a little bit of Basketball or Hockey if the others aren't on. My two dogs come sit by me and...

  7. What Should I Do???

    John20 replied to jabraham99's topic in Michigan Nursing

    If you are young and don't have a lot of responsibilities go with the "follow your heart" stuff. But you said you need to start working soon so I assume that's not the case. If I were in your shoes...

  8. Just got BA...is being a CNA "below" me?

    John20 replied to kix86's topic in General Nursing

    I have a B.S. Degree and am a NA while going through nursing school. Being an aide is about getting the job done (Git-r-done). You will be best served dropping any ideas (yours or influnced by...

  9. Metro Detroit jobs for student

    John20 replied to goodgalpal's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Beaumont and St. Johns. Applying online is pointless at both. Talk to someone, go into the HR office. Took both of us several months and a lot of calls/HR office visits to get in. I think all the...

  10. Metro Detroit jobs for student

    John20 replied to goodgalpal's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You actually don't need to fill out any paperwork if you have already been accepted into nursing school. I work at a hospital as an aide (not certified, but I get paid the same and have the same...

  11. top dollars

    John20 replied to tankar's topic in General Nursing

    I Agree with the other posters about wanting to find the best paying opportunities out there does not make you a bad nurse. I like my job but also like making things as easy as possible for my...

  12. Nurses Please Help

    John20 replied to dewberrysquish's topic in Michigan Nursing

    To be a nurse you need a degree. That's the way it is and the way it probably always will be. Sometimes in life you just need to accept things for what they are and go with the flow of society. If...

  13. Shortage of instructors = waiting?

    John20 replied to fUsi0n86's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, >$60,000? My entire 2 year program at a community college costs just over $4,000. You would be better off just getting an RN from a community college and then going to a RN to BSN program...

  14. "Secret" HIV Vaccine in use?

    John20 replied to Annisme's topic in General Nursing

    There are no vaccine's that cure viruses. A virus infects a cell and rewire's it's DNA to replicate the virus. Science has not found a way to kill viruses (HIV, common cold). It's that

  15. :) I got my start date for MCC...

    John20 replied to Hootnhollern's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The rest of us received our letters at the same time as the August start time group. You should have received it a week or so

  16. Career Change: Education to Nursing

    John20 replied to molly9's topic in General Nursing

    I'm from Michigan as well. I have a degree in physiology and will be starting nursing school (MCC) in the fall. I had been in sales for many years but I missed science. With the job market as bad...

  17. RN to BSN Grade Transfer ?

    John20 replied to John20's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Let me clarify that. I am at Macomb and I need a "C" or better to use the class for the ADN program I'm starting this school year there. Getting a "C" won't be a problem. I'm asking for years down...

  18. RN to BSN Grade Transfer ?

    John20 posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    Quick question for anyone who has gone the RN to BSN route. Do you need a "B"(or better) in a class for it to transfer? Or will a "C" transfer in. The reason I ask is because I'm in a condensed...

  19. Career Changers: What won't/don't you miss about your first career?

    John20 replied to whodatnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I have a B.S. in Kinesiology and was in Pharmaceutical and pop sales for 9 years. I start nursing school in the fall so this is mostly about what I don't miss. I don't miss rediculous unobtainable...

  20. Community college or University?

    John20 replied to justwannaRN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Community Colleges are a lot cheaper ($81/credit hour) and you'll get paid about the same right out of an associate program as a BSN. You can always do a RN to BSN program afterwards while you work....

  21. Does anyone have any information on the University of Detroit Mercy?

    John20 replied to hearts895, RN BSN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Clawson is a good value. It's not as expensive as Royal Oak or Troy but is just as safe. It's up in the 12-14 mile road area and a straight shot down to U of D. I live on the East side (Macomb)...

  22. i got a needle stick today need prayer

    John20 replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    I'll pray for you. You followed procedure following the stick and those procedures are in place for a reason. They are usually effective. Good luck to

  23. MCC Orientation

    John20 posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    I know the orientation is at 1 pm tomorrow, but I misplaced my letter telling me the room and building (not a good way to start). I've called the school but I keep getting voicemail services up...

  24. MCC Orientation

    John20 replied to John20's topic in Michigan Nursing

    That's good to hear. I've talked to a couple of people in the program and they said the same thing. At orientation they brought in a couple of current students who complained about not being able to...

  25. Pet Un-Peeves, or what I like about Emergency Nursing

    John20 replied to ERbunny's topic in Emergency

    What is "guess the BAl?" Is it something I can play at
