  1. Does anybody know what the cutoff was as far as points go for admission to LCC's program this year? I'm going to be applying for either the new accelerated program or for the regular program and I'm just trying to figure out what I classes I should ...
  2. Really want to be a nurse

    If you are talking about the Microbiology lab at LCC (that isn't offered at MSU), that lab isn't required before you apply. You can take it after you are admitted to LCC.
  3. LCC part-time program

    Does anybody have more information about Lansing Community College's part-time program? Specifically, what time of the day and how many days per week are classes/clinicals? They say it's afternoons and evenings. I forgot to ask at the nursing advi...
  4. LCC part-time program

    Just in case anyone out there is interested, I did find out a little bit of info about the part-time program at LCC. They try to offer the classes/clinicals starting around 3:00 in the afternoon, and if you have to take a class on campus then they t...
  5. Schools with no wait?

    I'll be applying to Lansing Community College. They don't do a wait list but rather a point system as well. I should have enough points to get in right away. http://www.lcc.edu if you want more information on their program.
  6. Lansing Community College

    Hi everyone! I'm just wondering if anyone is in or has graduated from the nursing program at Lansing Community College. I just completed and mailed my selective admissions app and will be taking a few classes in January. I'm wondering how you like...
  7. CNA training

    OK. It's me again. Is there anywhere in the Lansing area (I would even travel a little if I had to) that offers CNA training? I'm seeming to hit a road block here as far as this area is concerned.
  8. Ingrown toenail......ouch!

    I've been there too. I had them on both big toes and they got very infected 'cause I didn't want to see a doctor. Ended up going and haven't had any problems since. Easy, quick procedure, and the only pain was that nasty shot. It's well worth the...
  9. Too Posh to push?? Thoughts please!

    I'm 37 weeks along now with my second child. I had it pretty easy with my first delivery. Although I don't agree with the reasoning, I definitely am having more and more days where I WISH I could just request a C-section to be performed tomorrow. ...
  10. CNA training

    Angie33 - Thanks for the info. I've emailed them and am awaiting a response re: Lansing classes. AnnaN5 - Thank you also. I've checked into LCC and that's probably the route I will end up going. I didn't want to have to wait for the semester to st...
  11. hypothetically speaking..

    The community college I have applied to only counts the GPA of the pre-req classes. I only had about a 2.8 in my undergrad work, but that won't affect my chances at getting into this nursing program. Like everyone said, just check around. I bet yo...
  12. Nursing School Admissions

    I have applied at a community college for their ADN program. I'm in a similar boat as you in that I have a bachelors degree in an unrelated field and my GPA is only around 2.8. However, the program I applied to only counts the grades for the pre-re...
  13. What about Phlebotomy..

    I checked with HR at Sparrow and you are correct. They will train phlebotomy techs on-the-job, and their website has lots of openings available. Thanks for the suggestion! I would like to find some part-time evening work somewhere (preferably some...
  14. What about Phlebotomy..

    AnnaN5 - I'm also in Lansing. Do you know of anywhere you can get training in Phlebotomy besides at LCC? LCC is great because you can get trained with just one class, but I don't want to wait until Fall to do it. The other colleges and universitie...
  15. child care problems

    Daycare is so frustrating. Unfortunately, the situation you are running into is pretty common. My daughter has been in a daycare facility and home daycares and the situation has always been pretty much the same. We only need a sitter 3 days a week...
  16. whats the weather like????

    Well, here in Michigan it's actually been warmer this week than the last few weeks. We've been in the 20's. However, yesterday we got a HUGE snowstorm. Temperature in the 20's or huge amounts of snow? I would choose the snow, but that's just my p...
  17. Confused

    I'll be 29 when I start the nursing program (assuming all goes as planned), so don't worry about the age. I've applied for the ADN program at my local community college. LPN takes one year, RN takes two years. The ultrasound tech programs, etc. me...
  18. Recent college grad B.S.- Psych, needs advice.

    We are in similar situation. I have a bachelors degree in Anthropology and I work in the insurance industry. My GPA from undergrad was around a 2.8 or 2.9. I was originally a pre-med major in college, but realized that I couldn't cut the science c...
  19. Applying for fall 2004

    I applied to an ADN program at my local community college about 2 months ago. The application deadline isn't even until May 1st, 2004, so I won't find anything out until June. In the meantime, I'm taking some of the pre-reqs for admission. Accordi...
  20. I was looking at the old threads regarding PDA recommendations. (I'm hoping to get one within the next month or so.) I got a lot of great suggestions. My question is this: someone mentioned getting one that includes a digital voice recorder for r...
  21. Second Degree BSN

    I'm in the same boat. I have a BA in Anthropology as well. My minor was in Biology, so that helped a little. (Anatomy and physiology, etc.) I've looked in to the accelerated/second degree nursing programs, but after taking their pre-reqs, it woul...
  22. CNA training or CNA exam info...

    My local community college offers CNA training. (Not free, of course.) They offer one class that prepares you to get certified, and another that prepares you for work in a hospital (or one that is a combination of both). In my area, you don't have...
  23. Rejection Letter

    I don't have any suggestions, but I'm also preparing just in case I don't get accepted to the program I applied for. I will have all the classes completed that I can take before admission, so I might have to sit around doing nothing for a year if I ...
  24. Student Nurse Recruiting

    I've read a lot on this message board about student nurses being recruited by hospitals and offered tuition reimbursement, etc. very early in their nursing education. I was just curious about Michigan hospitals...are there any that do this BEFORE, s...
  25. PDA with digital voice recorder

    Personal Digital Assistant, Palm Pilot, etc. Seems that the best recommendations have been for the Palm M515 or Zire 71.
