Ashley Working part time is very doable. I graduated from WCCCD in December and worked 24hrs/wk the whole 2 years. I know lots of people that worked more than me. Its all about time management. Good Luck!

The readings dont start with chapter one. They skip all around the books.

Here is the list for the books used this semster NUR 110, NUR 111, AND NUR 118 -Kozier & Erb's Fundamentals of Nursing ISBN- 0131714686 (used for 110 and 111) -Skills in Clinical Nursing ISBN- 0135128374 (used for 111) -Understanding the Nursing Process ISBN- 0781759692 (used mostly in 110 and some in 118) -Nurses' Handbook health Assessment ISBN- 078176632x (used for 118)

I know a lot of people that went to Concentra. They have several locations and some are open on the weekends and 24/7, www.concentra.com. Congrats and good luck.

I applied for January 2009 in August 2008 and got my happy letter around the second week of Nov. It was torture.

Here is some information for Nur 111 that I got from someone that just finished her first semster. Weeks are broken into first class, then second class assignments.

Thank you. I am going to try and make it to the nursing office but I live in Belleville and work in Ann Arbor. I dont think I will have the time to make it there any time next week before they close. I would think that the reading assignments would be the same if not very close. Again, THANK YOU!!!

I was told by someone that you could go to the nursing office and pick up a copy. I can't make it out there while they are open. They should have offered that that orientation. That would have been nice. Mello1177 are you able to post what reading assignments you have?

Does anyone have a copy of the reading assignments for the first 7.5 weeks? If so, can you post it on here? Thanks in advance!

I thought that the uniform prices were good. I might look around before buying there. Is there a specific style of pants we have to have? Can they have pockets on the sides (cargo style)?

Do you know if you can get your name tag at Life Uniform? There is one in Ann Arbor, too.

They had the classes set up in pods. You had to pick one and that was the classes (days and times) you got. They called them pods.

I started reading but I haven't heard if we are suppose to or what we should be reading. What pod did you get? I'm in pod 11.
