  1. Oakland University (OU) vs Wayne State University (WSU) - BSN

    Raas4555 replied to Sadie525's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Something else for you to know Sadie is that OU has a unique grading scale. Whereas at most schools an A = 4.0, at OU in their nursing program specifically, an A = anywhere from 3.6 to 4.0 and you...

  2. 1st semester at HFCC

    Raas4555 replied to miMOMMYof3's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I appreciate this info. What do you think about Mosby's Pharmaceutical Cards? Also, I am taking Pharmacology now and am not in the program yet, but the textbook we have is just garbage - even the...

  3. CRNA-what is your day like?

    Raas4555 replied to MedicalDreams's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Could you elaborate on "take off whenever you want", do you work Locum Tenens or is it an arrangement with the employer? If so, how did you make such an arrangement?

  4. SRNA Advice

    Raas4555 replied to lexiRN80's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    dog1, do you mind disclosing what school you are interviewing at?

  5. Senior SRNA Accepted to Medical School. Now what?

    Raas4555 replied to MelissaRN.FutureCRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    n_g, Could you elaborate on your comment a bit

  6. U of Michigan Flint - Second Degree Program/CRNA

    Raas4555 replied to nursestudent11's topic in General Nursing

    Actually your GPA from your first degree will not be looked at. So in your case that would be to your advantage considering how competetive CRNA programs are. This question was asked to one of the...

  7. Any Oakland University grad students here?

    Raas4555 replied to yellow finch's topic in Michigan Nursing

    That's true. I will mention it to them and maybe they will have some information that will change my mind - who knows? But for now I see a few reasons to go to WSU instead of Oakland: 1) The grading...

  8. Any Oakland University grad students here?

    Raas4555 replied to yellow finch's topic in Michigan Nursing

    WSU is not the same. The following information is from the 2008-2009 Nursing Student Handbook: Grading Scale - Undergraduate Letter Grade Percentage Honor Points A 94% - 100% 4.00 A- 92% - 93%...

  9. Any Oakland University grad students here?

    Raas4555 replied to yellow finch's topic in Michigan Nursing

    It would be great if any WSU or other students could benefit us on this point. It is very clear to me though that normally A=4.0=A and A- = 3.7 and 2.0 = C, so OU is completely unorthodox with their...

  10. Any Oakland University grad students here?

    Raas4555 replied to yellow finch's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I did see on their website that 3.5 or 3.6 to 4.0 was all considered an A. Does this mean that the letter grade is not converted back to the GPA? So you could have an A in the class, but a GPA of 3.5...

  11. In need of some advice...

    Raas4555 replied to ChelsNurse2B's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I actally wanted to take WWII more but Cold War is listed as fulfilling the requirement for West Civ. I think they didn't offer WWII back when they put that together. I have Bittar and most likely...

  12. In need of some advice...

    Raas4555 replied to ChelsNurse2B's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I have Chem taken from before but I want to refresh myself. So I am all set for the list. I have a countdown of 50 credits which I am hoping to take at HFCC, that's the limit at Oakland Univ (63-13...

  13. In need of some advice...

    Raas4555 replied to ChelsNurse2B's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I am in the same boat and will be on the list after Fall. I am taking A&P I, Intro to Soc, Comp2 and Pharmacology right now and have finished Comp1, Psych 1 and Intro to Bio. My plan is to take...

  14. HFCC to OU What classes transfer?

    Raas4555 posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    I am in need of planning my classes better at HFCC since I don't want to take classes that won't transfer. Has anyone gotten their ADN from HFCC then the BSN at OU? What classes can you take that...

  15. HFCC to OU What classes transfer?

    Raas4555 replied to Raas4555's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Actually, there seems to be some other info in the RN-BSN Completion Sequence: WHAT COURSES CAN TRANSFER FOR CREDIT? Associate Degree Graduate RN's Graduates from a regionally accredited associate...

  16. HFCC to OU What classes transfer?

    Raas4555 replied to Raas4555's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I have been looking over all those and other materials but that point did not sink in until you just mentioned it. Wow!! 63 transferable credits minus 32 given for your ADN = 32 more allowed. I am...

  17. HFCC to OU What classes transfer?

    Raas4555 replied to Raas4555's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Thing is I am trying to figure out which "extra" classes to take right now and I don't want to wait until an orientation there because then it will be too late to have taken the "smallest number" of...

  18. HFCC to OU What classes transfer?

    Raas4555 replied to Raas4555's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The GPA to grade conversion seems pretty normal so that is a relief. I was under the impression (or the person who posted it was) that you had to have a 100% to get an A, but it seems perfectly...

  19. HFCC to OU What classes transfer?

    Raas4555 replied to Raas4555's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Thanks for that info. I have a few questions after looking at the RN-BSN guide at http://www2.oakland.edu/nursing/files/RNBSN_Flyer_April2008.pdf 1) Do I need Intro to Ethics as well as Intro to...

  20. Any Oakland University grad students here?

    Raas4555 replied to yellow finch's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I just came across this post and am very concerned by it - there is no way to keep a 4.0 at Oakland without having 100% in the class?? Can anyone confirm/refute this? OU was my first choice for...

  21. Possible to work 6 mo on/ 6 mo off??

    Raas4555 replied to Raas4555's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I looked up different CRNA job sites, and came across some very interesting info. It seems there is a huge need for lucum tenens (substitute) CRNAs and Doctors in almost every state. These are...

  22. Possible to work 6 mo on/ 6 mo off??

    Raas4555 posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I was just wondering if anyone had come across that - a hospital which allows you to work 6 mo, then take 6 off or anything similar? Or like a tag team situation, where you work 6, then your partner...

  23. Letters of Rec from professors

    Raas4555 posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I have been a top student in some of my classes so far and got the letter of rec when I asked for it - but before I stack them half a foot high - do these carry a lot of weight with CRNA school...

  24. What do you think my chances are?

    Raas4555 replied to chadday21's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  25. What do you think my chances are?

    Raas4555 replied to chadday21's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    LoveICU, make sure you let us know how the admission process goes for you! In my opinon, you are an ideal candidate - 95% chance of acceptance seems accurate to
