  1. Oakland University ABSN

    ejcl68 replied to nrsstudent2010's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Has anyone driven down to Riverview yet?? I have a friend who is in the program now and she said it's really nice. I was thinking I will drive down just to get comfortable with the location and to...

  2. Oakland University ABSN

    ejcl68 replied to nrsstudent2010's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi, I think we should all check with Oakland Nursing before taking any CPR classes. I think they have a guideline on when they want the class taken(within a certain period of time of starting the...

  3. No Worker Left Behind

    ejcl68 replied to OnlyByHisGrace's topic in Michigan Nursing

    For whatever it's worth, my case manager emailed me today and said anyone already approved (or on a waiting list)will get the money - the rest of the people unfortunately it's still not clear. This...

  4. No Worker Left Behind

    ejcl68 replied to OnlyByHisGrace's topic in Michigan Nursing

    My best advice to anyone out there is to be persistent - there is money left. This program is not new but has been out for many years under a different name. I would also recommend anyone looking to...

  5. Volunteering in hospitals

    ejcl68 replied to ForensicMI's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I will have to disagree with the above poster - I volunteered at Beaumont for a year and I was treated great. I loved my experience and would recommend this or any hospital to volunteer, No...

  6. No Worker Left Behind

    ejcl68 replied to OnlyByHisGrace's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi, for anyone waiting, my case manager is supposed to let me know the funding update by Tuesday. I know Detroit Conner was one of the few offices which had money - but I also heard priority was...

  7. No Worker Left Behind

    ejcl68 replied to OnlyByHisGrace's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi, every office is different. The key weed out process is the math and reading exams. The original office I attended had three required seminars(interviewing, resume, and internet). After finding...

  8. No Worker Left Behind

    ejcl68 replied to OnlyByHisGrace's topic in Michigan Nursing

    My case manager emailed me and said that those who are already approved will likely get the money but any new people may be up in the air until new funding is approved. I am a little worried since I...

  9. No Worker Left Behind

    ejcl68 replied to OnlyByHisGrace's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi, I agree with Anne36; I would not even bother with NWLB until you are accepted to a program. The actual approval process is not long so get accepted and then get going on NWLB. Unless you are...

  10. No Worker Left Behind

    ejcl68 replied to OnlyByHisGrace's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi Tiffany. Since I already had my orientation at another office, I was able to get an appointment with a case manager pretty quickly. But you need to know what documents are required to bring to...

  11. No Worker Left Behind

    ejcl68 replied to OnlyByHisGrace's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi, I was just approved for my NWLB funding but am waiting on the money. I was told there is funding but the state has ordered all offices to wait till after July 1st to distribute. Some offices do...

  12. volunteering in a hospital that you want to work at?

    ejcl68 replied to Peds4LifeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I volunteered for a year at local hospital in Michigan, got my CNA and they still would not hire me. So for me, volunteering did nothing in terms of getting me any preferential treatment. But I found...

  13. Anyone apply to the accelerated Michigan State University or U of M program for '10?

    ejcl68 replied to UpNorthTC's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Thanks Waynestatekatie - :) Oakland: "they do not turn away qualified applicants like other schools did." I was never told this when I went to two info meetings. The only thing I was told is they...

  14. Anyone apply to the accelerated Michigan State University or U of M program for '10?

    ejcl68 replied to UpNorthTC's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Well I applied in January, interviewed in March 2010, and will start in January 2011 with the main program / Fall for the online nursing courses..if my math is correct that's 10 months for the main...

  15. Anyone apply to the accelerated Michigan State University or U of M program for '10?

    ejcl68 replied to UpNorthTC's topic in Michigan Nursing

    HI, I definitely am not out to bash anyone. I realize none of you know me but I truly want to help others with my posts - as I have been helped immensely on this site. I agree that everyone should...

    Thanks, I'm taking Pharmacology next semester and this will help me over the

  17. Anyone apply to the accelerated Michigan State University or U of M program for '10?

    ejcl68 replied to UpNorthTC's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Nice post Gumby - I agree with everything you said. I also agree about the 12 month vs. 14 or even 16 months. There is no difference and the school would not do it if people were not performing or...

  18. Anyone apply to the accelerated Michigan State University or U of M program for '10?

    ejcl68 replied to UpNorthTC's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Also my other two cents is most if not all nursing schools are very good. The one exception I have heard is U of M which is tops in the state and amongst the best nationwide. So for those still...

  19. Anyone apply to the accelerated Michigan State University or U of M program for '10?

    ejcl68 replied to UpNorthTC's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Maybe I misunderstood you. But to me, waiting lists are for students who do not make it into the alloted number of spots(i.e. U of M). If one opens up for a variety of reasons, then they(the school)...

  20. Anyone apply to the accelerated Michigan State University or U of M program for '10?

    ejcl68 replied to UpNorthTC's topic in Michigan Nursing

    From earlier poster: Oakland is good, but they have a hidden wait list, and they won't tell you that on the phone. They'll let you go throught the whole process first and THEN you'll find out. The...

  21. Oakland University ABSN

    ejcl68 replied to nrsstudent2010's topic in Michigan Nursing

    If anyone is interested in car pooling, I might be interested. I live near 16 mile(Big Beaver) and Adams. I have a 4 x 4 Explorer which guzzles gas but its good in the snow. I know it's early but...

    ejcl68 replied to suitebliss's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi I took the class through the Palms building near the Fox theatre in Detroit. For me, the location was not bad and I liked the instructors. I think you have to sign up through the Detroit Red...

  23. Oakland University ABSN

    ejcl68 replied to nrsstudent2010's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Thanks nursejms2011. I talked to my sister who is a CRNA and she said the demand for nurses should pick up by the time we're finished. It looks like some hospitals have hiring freezes right now and...

  24. Oakland University ABSN

    ejcl68 replied to nrsstudent2010's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi, anyone hearing anything new about the job market for nurses in the next year or two for SE Michigan?? I have heard that it's more difficult to get a job as a nurse now than in the past. Possibly...
