    MInurse2b2010 replied to etkids's topic in Michigan Nursing

    MInurse2b2010 replied to HeatherGurl84's topic in First Year After Licensure

    MInurse2b2010 replied to inspire's topic in Michigan Nursing

  9. New CNA Program at MCC

    MInurse2b2010 replied to inspire's topic in Michigan Nursing

    In my admittedly brief stint as a LTC CNA I made nearly $12 per hour in Oakland county suburbs. This was for a unionized, licensed position, not for assisted living. I've never worked assisted living,...

    MInurse2b2010 replied to melareitling's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi steph7510, I took anatomy at OCC because of the cost. Also, since my prior degree is not in science, I was a little concerned about squeezing anatomy into one 15-week class. At OCC Auburn Hills I...

    MInurse2b2010 replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

  15. Any Oakland University grad students here?

    MInurse2b2010 replied to yellow finch's topic in Michigan Nursing

  16. Any Oakland University grad students here?

    MInurse2b2010 replied to yellow finch's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I was also surprised at OU's grading scale for nursing courses. It does seem harsh to me also. But I plan on attending OU for my master's anyway. If you still want to attend OU for your BSN it...
