  1. How do you wash your scrubs?

    gumby1411 replied to gumby1411's topic in General Students

  4. Waiting acceptance/rejection letter....

    gumby1411 replied to ambition2012's topic in General Students

    Ambition2012 - your application sounds strong, but it all depends on how strong the other applications are. My best advice is to sit tight and try not to think about it. (I know it's nearly...

  5. Depressed and Stressed Student

    gumby1411 replied to amgresham's topic in General Students

    I agree with the previous post: if you quit, it'll haunt you for a long time. Don't give up just yet. You're only 3 weeks into the program. I've heard that the first few weeks are really hard so...

  9. Previous low gpa, straight A's now, my chances?

    gumby1411 replied to Rmedin19's topic in General Students

    My GPA from my first Bachelor's degree was also a 3.1. I got a 4.0 in every single prereq for the nursing program because I needed to bring up my overall GPA. I got into an accelerated BSN program...

  10. How do you wash your scrubs?

    gumby1411 replied to gumby1411's topic in General Students

    This is true, CT Pixie. I never thought of it like that. I certainly don't bleach my skin or hair. Thanks for the advice

  11. how many uniforms to buy?

    gumby1411 replied to sajohnston1978's topic in General Students

    I bought 2 sets because I have 12 hour clinicals two days in a row during my second semester. There is no way I'd come home after a 12+ hour day and do laundry before hitting the sack, only to get up...

  12. Anyone apply to the accelerated Michigan State University or U of M program for '10?

    gumby1411 replied to UpNorthTC's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Yes, exactly what Katie said.... To add to that, the U of M wait list is only for the session that you applied to. For example, I was wait listed for the Fall 2010 semester. If I didn't get...

  13. Anyone apply to the accelerated Michigan State University or U of M program for '10?

    gumby1411 replied to UpNorthTC's topic in Michigan Nursing

    U of M does use a wait list. I was actually wait listed for 3 weeks before I received an acceptance to their program. I don't know if the other schools in the area do this as well, but if you get...

  15. Anyone apply to the accelerated Michigan State University or U of M program for '10?

    gumby1411 replied to UpNorthTC's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I believe most of the nursing schools in Michigan are pretty good, BSN programs anyway. I went to the Eastern info session and wasn't too impressed, but that doesn't mean that the program is not...

  16. For those who applied to more than one school..I have a question..

    gumby1411 replied to windmill182's topic in General Students

    I also applied to more than one school. I applied to my first choice school and found another school that had similar required prereqs. I also had plans to take additional prereqs if I didn't get...

  17. Pharm 911

    gumby1411 replied to cjillson7030's topic in General Students

    I'm taking Pharm right now, too. I agree, it's pretty hard to figure out what you need to know and what you don't. Unless you're superhuman, it's impossible to know everything in that textbook. I...

  18. Does anyone here have or want tattoos???

    gumby1411 replied to sherriberry1's topic in General Students

    I have a few as well - A small one on the inside of my ankle, one between my shoulder blades (only visible when wearing a tank or halter top), and one on my hip (can only see that when I wear a bikini...

  19. Anyone apply to the accelerated Michigan State University or U of M program for '10?

    gumby1411 replied to UpNorthTC's topic in Michigan Nursing

    TC - UM deadline wasn't until Feb. 1. So, yes, your app was in later than others, but you were still in before the deadline. My application was dated August 13th, so since I applied FOREVER ago, I...

  20. Anyone apply to the accelerated Michigan State University or U of M program for '10?

    gumby1411 replied to UpNorthTC's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hmmm...my mail just came and I didn't get into MSU either. I wonder who they actually accepted! I'm glad MSU wasn't my first choice, but I thought for sure I'd get in there. Funny...how did I get...

    gumby1411 replied to UpNorthTC's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Oh TC, I'm so sorry that you didn't get into MSU....BUMMER! Keep your head up, though. These schools are so competitive to get into... Does MSU have a wait list? Are you on it?? Like ejcl68 said,...

    gumby1411 replied to UpNorthTC's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi all. I applied to MSU and UofM. I've been accepted into UM, which was my first choice, so I'm pumped about that. My 3rd and 4th choices were UofD Mercy and Oakland University. I really think...

  25. How does the waiting list work?

    gumby1411 replied to computer101's topic in General Students

    Different schools handle their waitlists differently. My school has rolling admissions, so I was wait listed before the original 60 spots were filled, then offered admission 2 weeks later...still...
