    ShannonW replied to mmh2's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I spoke with advisors before starting WCCCD (I start the nursing program this month), and what you see in the catalog is it: nothing more, nothing less. You can burn through the pre-reqs in 3-4...

  2. WCCCD 2010 syllabus?

    ShannonW replied to Tiffie1210's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I really have no idea what pin it is - all I know is I have "WCCCD Pin" marked on the price list, so I thought it was something we needed. Ah, well; I'll ask on the first day of classes. I agree...

  3. WCCCD 2010 syllabus?

    ShannonW replied to Tiffie1210's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The thicker one is the "clinical decision-making study guide," second from the bottom on the book list. Alas, I think we'll use it for both Med-Surges. I went to the uniform shop yesterday, and all I...

  4. WCCCD 2010 syllabus?

    ShannonW replied to Tiffie1210's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Unfortunately, I don't think you'll be able to return them even if they are wrong. When I bought mine yesterday, I was told that "right now, all book sales are final; no returns." I just took another...

  5. WCCCD 2010 syllabus?

    ShannonW replied to Tiffie1210's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I got my books at Western today, and the woman getting the books didn't get the Kozier or Med-Surg study guides at first, but did ask if I wanted them - which, of course, I did. In total, I got eight...

  6. WCCCD 2010 syllabus?

    ShannonW replied to Tiffie1210's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Seconding this. If anyone goes and gets anything (syllabus, etc), please do let us know so we can all rush to the office as

  7. Orientation on Wednesday (11-25) for WCCC!!!

    ShannonW replied to cheska_rn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Nope, no books yet. I'm going to get them first thing Monday morning. They ran out of Anat/Phys books before both of my A/P classes, and ever since then, I always get the important books ASAP. I'm...

  8. Orientation on Wednesday (11-25) for WCCC!!!

    ShannonW replied to cheska_rn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I think this is the first time I ever wanted a holiday weekend to end before it did. I'm now officially registered for my classes, and now I'm wondering: is it January yet? I've also heard that the...

  9. Orientation on Wednesday (11-25) for WCCC!!!

    ShannonW replied to cheska_rn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    hey now, remember that we're being watched! (i'm kidding, of course. well, not about being watched, but that you should censor yourself. never, ever, ever.) anyway, i agree with most of your points,...

  10. Orientation on Wednesday (11-25) for WCCC!!!

    ShannonW replied to cheska_rn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Yeah, I noticed the same thing. I'm in pod 12 and noticed the discrepancy this morning while leafing through the schedule book. I'm inclined to favour the paper, but I definitely want to make sure as...

  11. Orientation on Wednesday (11-25) for WCCC!!!

    ShannonW replied to cheska_rn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Whoops, I just noticed that Annapolis is in Wayne, not Romulus. I grew up right in that area of Wayne/Romulus, so you'd think I'd have remembered

  12. Orientation on Wednesday (11-25) for WCCC!!!

    ShannonW replied to cheska_rn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I think I saw you, then. I was right in front of the girl that came in - I was the one she tapped on the shoulder and was talking to. I agree, I wouldn't want to make her feel bad. During lunch,...

  13. Orientation on Wednesday (11-25) for WCCC!!!

    ShannonW replied to cheska_rn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I can't believe we're being watched! (And, um, I hope they know I was just frustrated and impatient, and, er, don't hold my posts against me, pls? ) Anyway, I was 40-something, I think. Got my third...

  14. Orientation on Wednesday (11-25) for WCCC!!!

    ShannonW replied to cheska_rn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Tiffie, that does make me a little less nervous! The woman I spoke with at Herman Kiefer said that the paper I got is all they ever give out, and in the years she's worked there, she's never had...

  15. Orientation on Wednesday (11-25) for WCCC!!!

    ShannonW replied to cheska_rn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm both excited and extremely nervous. Well, I'm only nervous because of my titers (had titers done at Herman Kiefer downtown, and their results paper doesn't give numbers, only "present." Nursing...

  16. WCCCD Nursing Information Sessions/Meetings

    ShannonW replied to 777RN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Sadly, Becdann is right: starting soon, there will be a $5 fee (cover charge, if you will) to attend an information meeting, and you now have to register before-hand. The paper Becdann referred to...

  17. WCCCD HAPPY LETTERS!!

    ShannonW replied to Tiffie1210's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Yes and no. I have MM now, and we have 5 tests over 8 weeks - well, actually, 1 quiz, 1 final, and 3 tests. Mine is a one-day-a-week class, so with the exception of the first, second, and seventh week...

  18. WCCCD HAPPY LETTERS!!

    ShannonW replied to Tiffie1210's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Congrats! I haven't made arrangements for my CPR class, because I was confused about the "30 days thing." When I turned in my green card today, the woman I spoke to gave me a very confusing answer -...

  19. WCCCD HAPPY LETTERS!!

    ShannonW replied to Tiffie1210's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The green acceptance cards are due by November 2nd. I'm taking mine in today (had too much to do Friday, heh), and while I'm there, I'll see if anyone can tell me 1) if we have 30 days or until the...

  20. WCCCD HAPPY LETTERS!!

    ShannonW replied to Tiffie1210's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You should have a form titled "Student Health Profile." It includes a portion to be filled out by you, as well as parts to be filled out by the doctor or HCP who gives you your physical, etc. On the...

  21. WCCCD Spring 2010 Hopefuls

    ShannonW replied to Heart_Shaped_Rocks's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The point system is what the nursing department is using to determine who gets in. It's a 100 point system that breaks down to max 60 pts for GPA, max 20 pts for NET (or TEAS), 10 pts for doing all...

  22. WCCCD HAPPY LETTERS!!

    ShannonW replied to Tiffie1210's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Now I'm confused about the 30 days thing. The letter says we have 30 days, but in other areas, it states that we need certain things (CPR card, etc) by orientation day. OD is November 25th, which is,...

  23. Phlebotomy Classes in Michigan

    ShannonW replied to Devoted2Nursing's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Good point about not needing to be licensed. On the other hand, some companies/employers offer higher wages for licensed phleb techs, so getting licensed might or might not be beneficial to you (the...

  24. WCCCD HAPPY LETTERS!!

    ShannonW replied to Tiffie1210's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Whoops! I just re-read Page Two, where it reads "Immunizations information or evidence of antibodies must be provided either by blood tier reports or current booster vaccine (within 1 month)." That...

  25. WCCCD HAPPY LETTERS!!

    ShannonW replied to Tiffie1210's topic in Michigan Nursing

    That's the confusing thing. The letter seems to state that we have to have our CPR card already by the orientation. It ("Acceptance Letter SPRING 2010 - Page Two") reads "You are required to submit...
