  1. WCCCD HAPPY LETTERS!!

    ShannonW replied to Tiffie1210's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I GOT IN! And now, of course, I'm freaking out about having so little time to get everything done. I've already made an appointment to get my and physical and titers done with my normal doctor, but...

  2. Phlebotomy Classes in Michigan

    ShannonW replied to Devoted2Nursing's topic in Michigan Nursing

    WCCCD has a phlebotomy technician program, through which you can earn a certificate. After earning that, you can become licensed. My mother's currently in her final semester and about to start her...

  3. WCCCD HAPPY LETTERS!!

    ShannonW replied to Tiffie1210's topic in Michigan Nursing

    !!!!! Congrats!! I'm waiting for one too, but no mail yet here. I'm going to pounce on my mail carrier today. Until then, I'm crossing every thing I have to cross. Edit: I've always wondered, is it...

  4. WCCCD Spring 2010

    ShannonW replied to Devoted2Nursing's topic in Michigan Nursing

    My money'd be on regular mail, since I doubt the school would go to the "trouble" of using certified mail. By the bye, a friend in my Medical Terminology class who worked at the Downriver campus (SS...

  5. WCCCD Spring 2010

    ShannonW replied to Devoted2Nursing's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Not bad! I ended up dropping chemistry because the original instructor was sick, and the replacement instructor is... well, kind of crazy. How are yours going? I have heard exactly nothing about the...

  6. WCCCD Spring 2010 Hopefuls

    ShannonW replied to Heart_Shaped_Rocks's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Insofar as I know, people calling (including me) are still being told "end of September." A few people in my Medical Terminology class have been hearing/told "End of September, early October." ARGH. I...

  7. WCCCD Spring 2010 Hopefuls

    ShannonW replied to Heart_Shaped_Rocks's topic in Michigan Nursing

    No letter here, either. I haven't bothered to call and ask for an update, because it really doesn't matter at this point. Between my current Fall classes and everything else, I'm not really stressing...

  8. WCCCD, Applying for fall 2010

    ShannonW replied to nurs101's topic in Michigan Nursing

    WCCCD doesn't accept/count + or - grades. To them, an A- is an A, and an A+ is an A. Great for those with lots of - grades, but I imagine it's a disappointment for those with + grades.

  9. desperately need advice, please help!

    ShannonW replied to christina512's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hello! I've never made a career change (I'm working on my first one! ), but I know how stressful figuring out what you want to be (hopefully) forever can be. Unfortunately, from what I've heard from...

  10. WCCCD Spring 2010

    ShannonW replied to Devoted2Nursing's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Same here! I'm taking chemistry, math 155/college algebra, and a philosophy class (this one's iffy, since the instructor's apparently dangerously boring! ) - and for the same reasons (I'll need them...

  11. WCCCD Spring 2010

    ShannonW replied to Devoted2Nursing's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Yep, a whopping $299 new: $248 for the Chemistry lecture book and $51 for the lab manual. Imagine how happy I was to find that out! (All the used ones they tried to give me were ratty and covered in...

  12. EYE EXAM-PHYSICAL

    ShannonW replied to dtw313's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I can't speak for the program requirements (I don't attend HFCC), but I know several people currently in HFCC's nursing program with glasses, so if it is a requirement that you have 20/20 vision,...

  13. WCCCD pre-nursing newbie questions....

    ShannonW replied to call.me.Ash's topic in Michigan Nursing

    How soon you can apply depends on when you take the new test (TEAS, I believe? I lucked out and took the NET, so I'm not quite sure what's going on with that now). If you take it this year (if it's...

  14. WCCCD Acceptance Letter

    ShannonW replied to missjdarcy's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I called this morning (I'm getting so freaking antsy) and the (exceptionally rude) woman I spoke with at first told me they were "working on" applications and should have letters out within two weeks,...

  15. wcccd- will be a new student & have a few ?'s

    ShannonW replied to christina512's topic in Michigan Nursing

    It took me four semesters to finish all of my pre-reqs - it should have only taken three, but I didn't take BIO 155 until my second semester - and six in total (including the upcoming Fall 2009) to...

  16. WCCCD, Applying for fall 2010

    ShannonW replied to nurs101's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Yeah, the WCCCD online classes fill up very quickly (well, most do), so I'm not at all surprised that they're full now. If you don't like the ENG 119 you're in now, you might be able to switch (drop,...

  17. WCCCD Spring 2010 Hopefuls

    ShannonW replied to Heart_Shaped_Rocks's topic in Michigan Nursing

    My sentiments exactly, LM. I'm getting annoyed because yes, we do have until January, but we have to get quite a lot done before then - titers/booster, TB test, drug test, physical, CPR card, etc. I...

  18. WCCCD Spring 2010 Hopefuls

    ShannonW replied to Heart_Shaped_Rocks's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Just thought I'd mention that I just talked to a friend of mine (also waiting to start Spring 2010) who said she called the Nursing Dept late last week, and they told her they hadn't even started...

  19. unpaid speeding ticket = suspendended drivers license = nursing over??? please help!!

    ShannonW replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in Michigan Nursing

    It probably depends on the school. For example, I don't think it'd matter much to WCCCD. In order to apply for the nursing program at WCCCD, you just need to get the background check from the Michigan...

  20. I'm in! How am I going to pay for this?!

    ShannonW replied to Coruscatedgirl's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Congrats! I assume you got in to ITT Tech? Not everyone qualifies for financial aid - it depends your income, etc. Even if you do qualify for financial aid grants, grants (like the Pell, MI...

  21. WCCCD Spring 2010 Hopefuls

    ShannonW replied to Heart_Shaped_Rocks's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Same here. Logically, I know there's no way the letters are going out this soon - probably around the 20th, maybe? - but I couldn't stop myself from racing to the mail-box yesterday, and cursing...

  22. WCCCD Spring 2010 Hopefuls

    ShannonW replied to Heart_Shaped_Rocks's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Anyone stalking their mail-carrier

  23. ITT Tech?

    ShannonW replied to Coruscatedgirl's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I know more than a dozen former ITT Tech students, and when I asked them, not even the three graduates of the school would recommend it. I don't know anyone in their nursing program, but I would be...

  24. WCCCD, Applying for fall 2010

    ShannonW replied to nurs101's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I don't have my notes from the nursing info meeting on-hand, but if I recall correctly, the points break down like this: max 60 possible pts for GPA, max 20 possible points for NET/TEAS, max10...

  25. WCCCD Spring 2010 Hopefuls

    ShannonW replied to Heart_Shaped_Rocks's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The nursing department is behind on something? How unusual! (Oh, the sarcasm.) Didn't the Fall 2009 letters go out near the end of April? A friend of mine got hers on 4/24, I think, so I wouldn't be...
