  1. WCCCD, Applying for fall 2010

    ShannonW replied to nurs101's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm sorry that my reply offended you, but my message was in no way angry. I simply asked you to elaborate a bit. Honestly, what sort of reaction did you expect? You entered into a thread of messages...

  2. WCCCD, Applying for fall 2010

    ShannonW replied to nurs101's topic in Michigan Nursing

    How exactly did the school or its program traumatize you? No offense, but unless one of the professors assaulted you or something, I fail to see how any traumatization serious enough to warrant...

  3. WCCCD Spring 2010 starting soon

    ShannonW replied to Cayles1102's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'd be happy to! Unfortunately, I can't do so in this thread (against forum rules), but if you look in my profile under "Contact Info," you can send an email to my MSN email and I'll reply with some...

  4. WCCCD Spring 2010 starting soon

    ShannonW replied to Cayles1102's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Yep, that's the "hidden" pre-req. You do have to take it because you can't register for/take Bio 240 without first taking 155. If you look in the catalog (not the schedule book), you'll see Bio 155 as...

  5. WCCCD Spring 2010 starting soon

    ShannonW replied to Cayles1102's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Before you can apply for the program, you have to take Intro Bio (Bio 155), Anatomy & Physiology I (Bio 240), Anat/Phys II (Bio 250), Microbiology (Bio 295), English I (Eng 119), and Intro...

  6. WCCCD

    ShannonW replied to MsAshley's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi! I'm not applying to start (been there, done that), but I might be able to help anyway. WCCCD uses a point-based system that, if I recall correctly, breaks down as follows: max 60 pts for GPA, max...

  7. potential student

    ShannonW replied to mmh2's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Unfortunately, nope: you can't apply until all of your co-reqs are finished. When you apply, there's a section where you write in your grades for each pre-req, so if you tried to apply in Feb, you...

    ShannonW replied to mmh2's topic in Michigan Nursing

    If you finish Micro this Fall semester, and that's the end of your pre-reqs, and you've done the TEAS and have all of your documents together and apply before Feb 28th, 2011, you may be able to start...

  9. potential student

    ShannonW replied to mmh2's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The deadline for starting in a Fall semester is the last day of February (28th or 29th) of the same year; the deadline for starting in a Spring semester is June 30th of the previous year. Nope. The...

    ShannonW replied to mmh2's topic in Michigan Nursing

    If you want to avoid wait-lists, focus your attention on schools without them, like WCCCD. Have you taken the appropriate tests for the school you want to attend? For example, for WCCCD, you have to...

  11. do I have a chances

    ShannonW replied to AM FRANCES's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The points system of which you've heard breaks down as follows: max 60 pts for your GPA (ex: 60pts for a 4.0 GPA), max 20 pts for your TEAS score, max 10 pts for having taken all courses at WCCCD, max...

  12. Instructor was a no show

    ShannonW replied to jenp313's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hate when that happens! I've heard they couldn't get ahold of jenp313's instructor, which isn't good (correct me if I'm wrong?). In our (Western) case, though, the instructor wasn't to blame, at least...

  13. Instructor was a no show

    ShannonW replied to jenp313's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I take it you're talking about NUR 110 (Theory/Foundations) at WCCCD Western? Or maybe a nursing class at NW? (Similar things happened at WE and NW.) If not: crazy coincidence! If you *are* talking...

  14. WCCCD Spring 2010 starting soon

    ShannonW replied to Cayles1102's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Quick question for those in pods 11 and 12: are you wearing your sweats "uniform?" I know 9 and 10 have skills lab Tuesday, but I'm not sure if we (11 and 12) do. Then again, I'm the paranoid type:...

  15. WCCCD Spring 2010 starting soon

    ShannonW replied to Cayles1102's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Oof. Mine are still a little out of whack. I'm in pod 12, so I have 110 T/R 3-5pm, 111 R/F 8am-2pm, and 118 Sa 8am-12pm. In webgate, the times for 111 and 118 are fine, but 110 is still M/R 3-5pm. All...

  16. WCCCD Spring 2010 starting soon

    ShannonW replied to Cayles1102's topic in Michigan Nursing

    What do you mean by "picky?" Insofar as I've heard from students that started before me/us, they're kind of sticklers when it comes to the "no designs" and "must be sweat pants" bit. As long as...

  17. WCCCD Spring 2010 starting soon

    ShannonW replied to Cayles1102's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Possibly? I'm in pod 12; we have classes at the same times, but I'm not sure if they're together or not. It'd be awesome if we did, though! One week to go! By the bye (and I hope we're allowed to do...

  18. WCCCD Spring 2010 starting soon

    ShannonW replied to Cayles1102's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Go by the pod sheet, not webgate. That's what they told me at the nursing office, anyway. For example, those of us in pods 9-12 all have 110 together, on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3-5pm at Western....

  19. WCCCD Spring 2010 starting soon

    ShannonW replied to Cayles1102's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm so glad someone else started this thread! I wanted to a dozen times, but wasn't sure where to put it! I'm all set re: the non-clinicals uniform: got my white tees, sweats, white shoes, etc. I...

  20. potential student

    ShannonW replied to mmh2's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The cost of books varies widely. If I recall correctly, Micro's about $130, Anat/Phys (you use the same book for I and II) is about $180-190 used (both as Anne36 said) or around $215 new (I think?),...

  21. potential student

    ShannonW replied to mmh2's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You have to complete all pre-reqs before applying, but you don't have to do the co-reqs until you're in the program. However, it'd behove you in a big way to get them out of the way before the...

  22. potential student

    ShannonW replied to mmh2's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Indeed they do, but insofar as I know, you'd still need to visit a campus for the labs anyway. For a class like Microbiology, where you have lab twice a week, it's almost pointless to take it

  23. WCCCD Spring 2010 Hopefuls

    ShannonW replied to Heart_Shaped_Rocks's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Seconding Me2006 re: trying for the A in the sciences. Of course, you'll want to keep your GPA as high as possible. Keep in mind that they consider two GPAs: the GPA of your pre-reqs only, and the GPA...

  24. potential student

    ShannonW replied to mmh2's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Indeed, indeed. The last day to apply for a spring semester start is the last day in June the previous year (in my case, June 30th, 2009 was the last day to apply to start in Spring 2010, and I...

    ShannonW replied to mmh2's topic in Michigan Nursing

    No worries! You can just click here, click "Contact Info" and just look for "MSN." I've taken a few classes online. Many people love them, but it's just not for me - I'm too apt to procrastinate. For...
