Oakland University in Rochester, MI!!! You have to have at least a 3.0 overall (no lower then a 2.5 in core pre-reqs), write a goal statement and have an interview though. This is the route I'm going because well, I live near by and it's only a year ...

That's not a stupid question... I'm not really sure... It says classes start that Thursday at 7:30 AM so I would think that if you have classes Thursday and Friday you have to go but Monday classes are cancelled. What other classes are you taking in ...

Do it on campus and take it with Prof. Saed or Prof Tillinger! I took Saed for 104. It was an 8AM class and I'm not much of a morning person but he really keep my attention. He tends to "pick" on people during class but if you're in class everyday, p...

I'm getting my BSN from Oakland. I had a friend at Baker and she had a terrible time transfering her credits elsewhere (I believe they're on quarters instead of semesters or maybe it's trimesters?). If you complete your program there then it probably...

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for this!!!! I plan on printing it and carrying it around with me to remind myself every now and again!!!

I have a BA in psychology and I'm doing my pre-reqs for my BSN. It's about 17 credits that I needed to pick up and then I'm going into the program!! Is it a accelerated second that you're looking into? If so, you need to have your bachelor's first in...

I can totally relate to you! I got my B.A. in psychology after 5 years. Going into school I really thought that was the path I wanted to go into! I was completely backwards in how I took classes and took a good chunk of my required classes for my maj...

I haven't started there yet. My first day is July 3rd but I've heard it can be pretty bad! LOL! I'll let you know in a few weeks really how bad it can be!!!

So, I know this is an old post but I was searching to find out if I was the only one afraid of needles!!! I have 2 tattoos and I've had 6 piercings in the past (all but my ears have been removed). I had my first shots in probably 20 years the other d...

Couldn't agree more!!!! I know it rang true for me that's for sure!!!! My freshman year of college I didn't work all I had was school that's it!!! In high school I worked, I was captain of the dance team, I figure skated and I got really good grades....

Yep that's about it!

I'm also working on my pre-reqs right now and just got hired into Beaumont as an assistant and I'm not certified. So, it is possible!!! Good luck!!!

Based on the state you could try to get it expunged from your record. I know in Michigan they only allow 1 misdemeanor to be set aside as long as you don't have another other convicts of the same offense. Take a look to see what your state's policy i...

I know in Michigan we have the "No Worker Left Behind" program. http://www.michigan.gov/nwlb. It's a nice program (that the state probably doesn't have the money for but I'll leave that for a different forum all together), I'm not sure what other sta...

Thank you! No, actually I haven't started NS just working on the pre-reqs. I have a bachelor's degree in psychology already so I don't know if that had any factoring into it. I also let them know that I'm planning on going to nursing school after my ...

I could be wrong but most of the drug addicts and alcoholics on SSI had, at least at one point, a legitimate reason to get SSI. Injuries, illnesses etc. However, they've learned, as others have said, to milk the system. I know they're not getting a l...

I'll be working as a float in a hospital starting in 2 weeks so I'm sure a lot of this will help me so THANK you SO much for posting this!!!!

I just got hired to a hospital in my area as a Nurse Assistant without my certification while I'm going to school for my BSN.

I'm taking Chem 104 (Intro to Chemical Principles) during our spring semester and Chem 201 (Intro to Organic and Biological Chem) during our summer semester. 104 hasn't been bad so far. I'm extremely lucky that I have a GREAT professor that teaches s...

If you didn't fill out a FAFSA for 2008-09 you can't get spring/summer assistance. College is expensive everyone here can basically relate! Dealing with financial aid is a headache and a half! Having no social life because you're always studying pret...

Luckily, I'm contingent and only taking a class or 2 each semester through the winter '10 semester (done with those bad boys by end of April!!!). I don't start my actual program until Fall of 2011 so I have around a year and a half (unless they have ...

So, I just accepted a job as a Nurse Assistant at a hospital. I'm currently a pre-nursing student. I have no experience with healthcare. I learn very fast and I'm a very compassionate person! I'll be in a pool so I'll float all over the hospital. Can...

It really all depends on the school... My old school had a technology fee of $238/semester and some other random fees as well. Plus the cost of books can be around $400/semester depending on the classes (could be higher could be lower). Some school c...

There is no other option! I tried the other options and I don't like it!!!! I can tell you while I'm waiting to get in I'm going to be working at a hospital as a nurse assistant and I'm also going to be bartending! Saving up that dough!!

For now I'm completely OK with that! The more difficult and complex and ill the more I can learn from it!!!! Like I said before, I took the position to get the learning experience! I definitely took a pay cut to switch but I think it'll be worth it i...
