    ejcl68 replied to bronzemint23's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi I see some of you are still interviewing for the first or second times. I am starting the program in a few months and wanted to share my thoughts on the interview process. I have posted some...

  2. Oakland University ABSN

    ejcl68 replied to nrsstudent2010's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi Melbell, I think most of the people who are active on this forum have been accepted to the program. I would suggest you start a new thread. But honestly, if I were you, I would go to another...

    Hi WJ, I'm not sure about the Itouch. I met someone who is in the May class from my Patho class but I don't talk to her much. But I do know someone who attends MSU's school of nursing. He has the...

    Also I had my physical a few weeks back but I noticed they said not to do anything until after orientation. But I read that the physical could be done anytime a year(I believe) before the program so I...

    ejcl68 replied to nrsstudent2010's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm excited and a little nervous as well. It looks like it's going to be a very busy 2011 for all of us. I noticed they switched one class to on campus instead of online. Does anyone know if we get...

  6. New here, from Wayne state, few questions!

    ejcl68 replied to Donald's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I know people who had close to a 4.0 not get in at Wayne - and they did their classes at community colleges. I think they look less favorably on those who go this route(my opinion) If I were to...

  7. Job hunting while waiting

    ejcl68 replied to Anne36's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I agree with the other posters.. I got my CNA through the american red cross and jobs can be found but they are not easy to get. The nursing home jobs are easier to get than hospitals - unless you...

    ejcl68 replied to nrsstudent2010's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Yes, I went through my primary care physician and so far most has been paid for by insurance- outside my $30 office co-pay. I still need one more hept. B which will be done 5 months from my second...

    ejcl68 replied to nrsstudent2010's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi, I am taking Pharm and nutrition in the fall. I have BLS this week and already had my physical. I also got my Hept. B vaccination(first two) so I am getting there with all of this stuff. I can't...

  11. OU ABSN Interviews for May 2011 Cohort

    ejcl68 replied to bronzemint23's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Just outside looking in: If the letter stated by the end of the month, I would try to relax. As I have mentioned, they typically won't send out letters until at least 1 month after the interviews....

  12. RN jobs in Michigan

    ejcl68 posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi, I will be completed with my ABSN in December 2011. I was wondering if any recent grads can comment on the job outlook for metropolitan Detroit?? Are you having difficulty finding a job and if...

  13. OU ABSN Interviews for May 2011 Cohort

    ejcl68 replied to bronzemint23's topic in Michigan Nursing

    No, I don't. But the best thing to do is let nursing know you want to move up. Many times people back out at orientation for a variety of reasons and since the deposit is only $150, this probably...

  14. OU ABSN Interviews for May 2011 Cohort

    ejcl68 replied to bronzemint23's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi, My undergraduate degree is from Wayne - I know all too well about their politics. My sister is a CRNA and she told me her hospital actually prefers Oakland grads over other schools. I don't know...

  15. OU ABSN Interviews for May 2011 Cohort

    ejcl68 replied to bronzemint23's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Clarification: It's about a month until decision letters are mailed: I interviewed on March 2nd - my letter was dated March 31. I didn't get it until April 3rd. Why don't one of you call the...

  16. OU ABSN Interviews for May 2011 Cohort

    ejcl68 replied to bronzemint23's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi, based on when you guys interviewed, I think it's too early to get worried. I interviewed on March 2nd and didn't get my letter until April 3rd. Some people got their letters (rejections...

  17. OU ABSN Interviews for May 2011 Cohort

    ejcl68 replied to bronzemint23's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi everyone, I know many of you are getting really discouraged and I know how you feel. I too was rejected at several schools. I began to question myself even though I got mostly A's in pre-reqs....

  18. OU ABSN Interviews for May 2011 Cohort

    ejcl68 replied to bronzemint23's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi, on the thread I was part of(January 2011) a number of people got rejection letters before some of us got our acceptance letters. I started seeing a few people post that they got rejections and I...

  20. OU ABSN Interviews for May 2011 Cohort

    ejcl68 replied to bronzemint23's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Also, if you don't get in (I hate to bring this up) you can reapply after 6 months - I am hoping this is not the case for any of you. I don't know if they give any feedback (likely not) - but you can...

    ejcl68 replied to nrsstudent2010's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi Dandy, Like nursejms said, expect a letter. I have heard in the past they did send out emails and I know someone who found out a week after they interviewed via email. My feeling is they may have...

  23. Oakland University ABSN

    ejcl68 replied to nrsstudent2010's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I agree with SA. I had one of the first interviews but didn't get a letter till almost a month later. They pretty much send out all decisions at the same time regardless if you were first to...

  24. Oakland University ABSN

    ejcl68 replied to nrsstudent2010's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi evansmom, The best way is to start a thread yourself. Others will find it trust me. In my interview session, I was lucky to be in contact with about 10-15 people. It did help as the wait can be...

    ejcl68 replied to nrsstudent2010's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi Steph, Good luck on your prerequisites!! I think many of us use Riverview(not the city) as a shorthand name and we realize it's in downtown Detroit - thanks for clarifying though for some who may...
