    CorazonDeOro replied to McGinnis's topic in Michigan Nursing

  2. 2010 Macomb Community College Applicants.

    CorazonDeOro replied to McGinnis's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I took it before they added the A&P section so I am not sure if it is different now, but I remember the math being really similar to the questions in the HESI guide. Just know simple conversions...

    CorazonDeOro replied to McGinnis's topic in Michigan Nursing

  6. Macomb Community College

    CorazonDeOro replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I didn't mean to say the March group are alternates, just that they have offered March start to at least 20 people who were alternates, which means a lot of people turned down the

  7. Macomb Community College

    CorazonDeOro replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Not everyone had Micro and A&P done when I got in. Although if you didn't have them both done they used that as a factor in your ranking. I had a friend who took micro during the first semester of...

  8. Macomb Community College

    CorazonDeOro replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

  10. Macomb community college "Hesi" info

    CorazonDeOro replied to honeybumps's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I used the HESI study guide as my only resource and I got a 95 on it. I did not have to take the A&P section though, since I took it before they changed the requirements. I found the reading...

  11. MCC questions

    CorazonDeOro replied to MsPebbles's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I took some online classes at Macomb and in my experience it could mostly be done at your own pace except the exams were generally only available one day and had to be taken within a certain time...

  12. Question about MCC and Stafford loans

    CorazonDeOro replied to MsPebbles's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I receive Stafford loans from MCC and I had them at Wayne State in the past. The way it has always worked for me is that I would get approved for a certain amount that they decide. I then have to...

  13. Does anyone have Taylor's Video Guide To Clinical Nursing Skills?

    CorazonDeOro replied to greenbeanio's topic in General Students

  14. MCC March starts

    CorazonDeOro replied to Mzam2012's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Good luck to all you March starts! You do not wear your scrubs to lecture class, just the classes that end in "30". I am in Med/Surg 1 at MCC now (I started in August!) I remember how nervous I was!...

    CorazonDeOro replied to Mzam2012's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I have the free skyscape drug program for my iphone but honestly I find myself using the Davis drug guide hardcopy more than my phone during clinical. I would love to have the whole skyscape program...

    CorazonDeOro replied to dream-a-little-dream's topic in Michigan Nursing

  19. ADN vs. 2nd degree BSN?

    CorazonDeOro replied to bubbley1021's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I decided on ADN over ABSN because it would have taken me much longer to start ABSN with all the prereqs and because they only accept so few people at most programs. I chose an ADN program that...

  22. MCC - uniform color/style?

    CorazonDeOro replied to jlove86's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I think the only other way to get it is to buy it from a former student used, but yeah it has to be that exact uniform as far as I know and I don't think there is any other way to get

  23. MCC - uniform color/style?

    CorazonDeOro replied to jlove86's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You order them from Dove online, they are pretty expensive so I am not sure I'd buy them until you need them..incase they change or you change your mind or something. If you want to look at the prices...
