  1. Is it me? I am already bored....

    CorazonDeOro replied to DolceVita's topic in General Students

    Yes! I am feeling the exact same way. It was such a shock to go from studying every waking second and worrying about care plans and clinicals..to just sitting here wondering what to do next! I am also...

  2. Nursing School Schedules...HELP?

    CorazonDeOro replied to Despareux's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Dont quote me on this because I heard MCC is changing their curriculum slightly, but I started last August and this is how it was: First 8 weeks: two lecture classes (back to back on Mondays) and a 6...

  3. Nursing School Schedules...HELP?

    CorazonDeOro replied to Despareux's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I go to Macomb and our schedule changes every 8 weeks. We are not able to pick classes, as they are assigned to us. We are allowed to "request" a day or night clinical but pretty much no one seems to...

  4. Costs/Questions about Macomb

    CorazonDeOro replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Yeah I know, I keep getting rejected too, even though I have BLS certification and three clinical rotations behind me. Its really the luck of the draw I guess. At orientation though we were given a...

  5. Costs/Questions about Macomb

    CorazonDeOro replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I don't think what she told you was necessarily true. At our orientation last year they told us St. John's will hire us as PCTs before we start school, and while I had no luck with that, a friend of...

  6. Costs/Questions about Macomb

    CorazonDeOro replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I am enjoying the program a lot! Just finished the first year! My advice is to make some good friends when you start who will be there for you because no one else will understand the stress you are...

  7. Costs/Questions about Macomb

    CorazonDeOro replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    My books for the first year cost somewhere around $900. Uniforms were about 130 but they will be different for next years class. White sneakers: $50. Stethoscope around 100 bucks. Blood Pressure cuff:...

  8. Process of Hiring

    CorazonDeOro replied to toi121's topic in Michigan Nursing

    How did you get all the email addresses to send thank yous to? I interviewed today but I was interviewed by the nurse manager directly (never spoke to HR or a nurse recruiter). The nurse manager...

  9. Macomb Community College Nursing Questions

    CorazonDeOro replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Yeah I got my Dickies at the Scrubs store in Troy at 15 mile between Crooks and Coolidge. They are not tapered and huge like the Dove ones (but I rotate and wear them both). Shoes-I got all white New...

  10. Shoes

    CorazonDeOro replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I agree with this completely. I have all white leather new balance shoes and they are perfect. I got them at DSW for a reasonable price. I know Macomb's dress code is all white but I see a lot of my...

  11. Macomb Community College Nursing Questions

    CorazonDeOro replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Yeah I hate the Dove pants so I bought a pair of Dickies in Sailor Blue that matched, none of the instructors noticed the difference or if they did they didn't say anything. Also, at orientation they...

  12. Macomb Community College Nursing Questions

    CorazonDeOro replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You need them for the second week of classes. I heard there is talk of changing the uniforms so that you can buy them in the bookstore with financial aid, but IF nothing changes for you guys the...

  13. Macomb Community College Nursing Questions

    CorazonDeOro replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The Nursing program has classes in 8 week blocks, so in a regular 16 week semester for most Macomb students, you will have two 8 week semesters (so if you start in March you will only go for 8 weeks,...

  14. 2010 Macomb Community College Applicants.

    CorazonDeOro replied to McGinnis's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The Nurse Pack is something you have to buy. It doesn't have a stethoscope, it has syringes, IV bags, dressings, catheter kit, trach care kit, etc. You do need that stuff for lab but you barely use it...

  15. Macomb CC or Bakers Program??

    CorazonDeOro replied to LauJen's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I don't think they take into account where you live but as far as I know Macomb only has clinicals at hospitals in Detroit, Grosse Pointe, Mt. Clemens, Troy, Royal Oak, Warren, and....I think thats...

  16. Cost of MCC program

    CorazonDeOro replied to Orna01's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I go to Macomb and I pay out of district tuition since I live in Oakland County and it still isn't that much. Most nursing classes are 1-2 credits, which means a semester worth of tuition is...

  17. Who Has Been Accepted to Macomb's Fall 2010 Nursing Program?

    CorazonDeOro replied to shawnb's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I second this congrats! I also ranked 41! (I am finishing my first year at MCC right now). I agree with this post very much, you will learn a ton! Don't get intimidated by what you hear, I have worked...

  18. Added classes to the Nursing program for MCC

    CorazonDeOro replied to shawnb's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I heard somewhere that the new curriculum is for the 2011 class, but I could be wrong. I guess they will clear it up for you at orientation. It is a really good idea though, we had 3 people drop out...

  19. HFHS

    CorazonDeOro replied to toi121's topic in Michigan Nursing

    We must have applied for the same position because I am in the exact same boat as you. Mine says phone screen scheduled also. They are probably just finishing sorting through applications maybe? I am...

  20. What can I expect?

    CorazonDeOro replied to shawnb's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You don't get to pick out any of your classes or clinicals, they are

  21. What can I expect?

    CorazonDeOro replied to shawnb's topic in Michigan Nursing

    They have a ton of NCLEX study guides at any bookstore...sometimes I go to bookstores to study and borrow their books! I got my study guides from a nurse that I know. The Saunders NCLEX review is my...

  22. What can I expect?

    CorazonDeOro replied to shawnb's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Do the reading don't fall behind on it, buy some NCLEX study guides and use them to get a feel for what exams are like, make some good supportive friends in your class, and have fun! :) I am almost...

  24. 2010 Macomb Community College Applicants.

    CorazonDeOro replied to McGinnis's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Yeah it was different in the past, you could apply before finishing those classes. I remember when we were telling them our start preference at orientation we had to tell them when we would be...

  25. 2010 Macomb Community College Applicants.

    CorazonDeOro replied to McGinnis's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You don't find out your start date until June or July if I remember correctly. At orientation they let you tell them your preference, but they also let you know that it is based on ranking and if all...
