This question is assuming that the causative agent was transmitted from one person to another. Although both look correct, we were taught in micro that to show the "flow" you would always start with someone already infected with the causative agent. ...

Hi Melanie, Was the externship something set up through your program, or did you get that on your own? Working in the ICU is exactly what I want to do! Looks like you'll get experience, and the pay is not bad at all. When are hospitals amenable to s...

Well, I spoke with my friend and she said that it was not a surge of hospitals coming to you out of the blue. She said during the course of her program at Macomb, St. John's came to the school on 3 separate occasions to recruit nurses. She was also a...

I've heard you can actively contact hospitals as well and let them know you are already in school. Then you can ask them if they have any contracts available that will pay for tuition. You then would have to sign a contract that you will stay with th...

I was told by an advisor at Macomb when I first started prereqs that BIO 240 would be taken by Wayne and UofD. According to both of theiir websites, they both take this as a transfer. We're taking right now..couldn't you tell? :) Do any of these sta...

Hi Jenny! I'm spiking Mikey's drink at the VFW with Willie and Wilhemina to see if they grow at body temp...:) One of my unofficial tests...! I've got bacillus and streptobacillus (both Gram +). I'm just glad I saw 2 different isolated colonies on my...

Hi All, Glad to see some nurses from PR in here! I want to move back to PR once I'm done with all of my school here in Michigan. I read in one of the earlier posts that conditions weren't so good. How is it in the other parts of Puerto Rico? I was t...

I'm taking regular microbiology at Macomb (BIO 240). If you're looking to transfer to complete a BSN, I was told by the advisors there to take 240 instead of Pathogenic.

Hi Lasonia, What was the pay like. Pushing patients around wouldn't bother me too much. Thanks!

Has anyone currently in nursing school started working part time at any hospitals? I'm still working my computer job until I start nursing school full time, but I'm considering trying to get a job at a hospital before I start school doing whatever! W...

Hi Sonia, I talked to some people that applied last year. The made me aware of those astounding odds. Of the 3 people that I spoke with, none of them got in. They were all in the 200-250 range. I'm pretty much done with my prereqs except for A&P...

Hello! No, I did not have enough credits yet to even apply. I'll be in for sure next year. I'm just looking a bit ahead in the process. Thanks for the info on St. John..Beaumont is also a great possibility. That is awesome that you will start in Marc...

I meant the eatern suburbs in the area of Warren, Roseville, The Grosse Pointes, Mt. Clemens, etc. Detroit Receiving is definitely on my list, as I will probably be attending Wayne to complete my BSN. Has anyone worked at Receiving or DMC? Thanks, Al...

I just recently saw a CRNA in full performance. My wife just had a C section for our 3rd child. I have recently become interested in this line of work, so I paid closer attention to what was happening at the head of the bed. Even with a "simple" C se...

Hi All, This topic is something I have been mulling in my head as well as I decide where to go when I'm at BSN completion stage. How about this question: Has anyone seen preference given to a candidate who received their BSN at the school where they ...

Hi everyone, I plan on beginning my ADN program at Macomb CC in Fall 2004. 4.0 in my prereqs so far! My ultimate goal is CRNA. This board has been invaluable in keeping me focused on that, as well as proving that you all must have a passion for nursi...

Hi All, A quick question..what "grade" do you receive for passing a CLEP test? I've been considering taking one but I'm curious what GPA value it is given. Thanks! Alex
