    ORoxyO replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in General Students

    So you worked full time with 15 credits and maintained a 4.0...what are you worried about?!? As long as you take your pills and folllow up with your blood work, you should be able to funtion as any...

  2. Nurse Tech Positions in Michigan

    ORoxyO replied to mshaw23's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Most say they are for students in an RN program. I'm not really sure about opportunities for LPN

  3. Is it possible for an OR nurse to become a Nurse Anesthetist?

    ORoxyO replied to paul3489's topic in General Nursing

    We have a few nurses in our OR that switched to ICU to get into CRNA school, but still work a shift or two per week in the OR since it's awesome (I am biased). But yeah, rightfully so the OR is not...

    ORoxyO replied to mshaw23's topic in Michigan Nursing

    DMC, St. Johns, Henry Ford. Not sure about the tube feedings though. In the DMC I could do straight caths, Foley's, IV starts, blood draws, bandages, admissions (signed off by RN), and of course all...

  5. Working in the OR during pregnancy

    ORoxyO replied to maraORRN's topic in Operating Room

    We have had several women recently give birth and they were fine. Very tired and waddling toward the end but fine. Just know your limits and when you need to take a step back. Don't let anyone make...

  8. October grad- when do I start applying?

    ORoxyO posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, I will (fingers crossed) graduate this October. When should I start applying for jobs? I am inclined to start now but I don't know if they will take me seriously. The way I see it though is...

  9. October grad- when do I start applying?

    ORoxyO replied to ORoxyO's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose I am just paranoid/nervous. Now that I think about it, when I was about to graduate college for my first career, I started applying like 6 months in advance...and it payed off well. I guess...

  10. October grad- when do I start applying?

    ORoxyO replied to ORoxyO's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I know. I worry that if I apply now, they will toss my app aside. Then it takes me out of the running for applying again later since they have my name in their heads as a "no". I guess it never...

    ORoxyO replied to MichyMich's topic in Michigan Nursing

    ORoxyO replied to MichyMich's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Remember that your physical has to be done in the month before you start, so you aren't behind at all! Last year the physical sheet was in the folder we got at orientation. For the titers I turned...

    ORoxyO replied to MichyMich's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I am upgrading mine from the lightweight to the Cardiac III. People seem happy with it and I figure it is an investment. It has a great sound quality. I know people who have the classic and like it...

  18. Microbiology at MCC

    ORoxyO replied to CorazonDeOro's topic in Michigan Nursing

  19. What is MCC's Nursing Program really like?

    ORoxyO replied to lovemyhuskies's topic in Michigan Nursing

    When you have your welcome seminar, they tell you how you won't be able to get laundry done, study 24/7, and really shouldn't work. But it depends on the person. If you have kids, never previously...
