  2. UofM or WSU ABSN'ers: How did you get in??

    ejcl68 replied to espo44's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi, This does sound like a great plan. It sounds like by quitting your job, you will be able to spend more time on classes and CNA. I just wanted to emphasize one thing again - if you have your heart...

    ejcl68 replied to espo44's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi musicians wife, No problem, I was not trying to sound like a 'know it all.' Every school is different and I believe you need an edge to get in and the more positive things you can show the...

  5. UofM or WSU ABSN'ers: How did you get in??

    ejcl68 replied to espo44's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Espo, I read a few of the things musicians wife said and I will only disagree with one thing in particular regarding the CNA. I know many people in nursing programs now or are planning on starting...

    ejcl68 replied to espo44's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Not yet - I have submitted all of my documents and am waiting on a decision. I won't know until mid-June or so. I hear they may be doing interviews in the Spring but haven't been notified yet. I...

    ejcl68 replied to espo44's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi Espo, sounds like you got some great info from musicians wife. I will add that I took the CNA course through the American Red Cross and loved it. You will spend a week in a clinicals (nursing...

    ejcl68 replied to nrsstudent2010's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Just checking to see if everyone is still out there. No news yet but hopefully soon. I am thinking sooner rather than later. But since they moved up people to May 2010, they are probably figuring...

  11. Volunteering in hospitals

    ejcl68 replied to ForensicMI's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi, I have volunteered for the past year and really like it. For me, I really wanted to see how I would like being in a hospital before I start nursing school. I found I loved being with the...

    ejcl68 replied to JCBJLT's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks Evolving. I appreciate your insight and advice. I have applied to about 15 nursing assistant jobs and hopefully will get lucky and get one. We have high unemployment and the good NA jobs...

    ejcl68 replied to Firehawk734's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi Firehawk Sorry to hear you will not be pursuing nursing. Since I have been on this forum for almost a year(guess I am hooked), I have kept tabs on a few people. I appreciate all the help and...

    ejcl68 replied to nrsstudent2010's topic in Michigan Nursing

    O.K. I know we haven't heard but it's been almost 3 weeks since I interviewed. I hope we hear soon and praying it's good news for all of us!!! I know the profs who I interviewed said the classes can...

  15. Anyone aplying to UW Oshkosh Accel. BS to BSN?

    ejcl68 replied to JCBJLT's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Evolving. Thank you for the informative post. I by no means said someone is a CNA just because the took and passed a class. But you do get checked off on all skills and you do need to pass a...

  16. Anyone aplying to UW Oshkosh Accel. BS to BSN?

    ejcl68 replied to JCBJLT's topic in General Nursing

    I just sent them Red Cross certificate. But I still need to become state certified - according to the college. I need to take the exam and skills through the state even though I did all of this...

  17. Anyone aplying to UW Oshkosh Accel. BS to BSN?

    ejcl68 replied to JCBJLT's topic in General Nursing

    Cari, did you submit your state certification to the college?? Also, would you mind telling me if you work in a nursing home or hospital? How do you like it?? I worked in a nursing home for a week...

  18. Anyone aplying to UW Oshkosh Accel. BS to BSN?

    ejcl68 replied to JCBJLT's topic in General Nursing

    I am done with all my classes and have a ~ 3.5 overall. To me, I don't think it will be enough to get in. I have heard that the October session is much more competitive than Spring. My undergrad...

  19. Anyone aplying to UW Oshkosh Accel. BS to BSN?

    ejcl68 replied to JCBJLT's topic in General Nursing

    I am also a little worried since they have never had a student from Michigan so I wonder if this hurts my chances? The adviser didn't think it would be an issue but she did say they would have to...

  20. Anyone aplying to UW Oshkosh Accel. BS to BSN?

    ejcl68 replied to JCBJLT's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Cari, I don't even know how to define strong anymore since based on what I am hearing about nursing schools, it's like trying to get into Medical school. In Michigan, we have 3 year waiting lists...

  21. Anyone aplying to UW Oshkosh Accel. BS to BSN?

    ejcl68 replied to JCBJLT's topic in General Nursing

    I will also add that until you get all your stuff completed, they won't even review your application. I sent my application in and recently got my CNA. They sent me an email that I must get my state...

  22. Oakland University ABSN

    ejcl68 replied to nrsstudent2010's topic in Michigan Nursing

    So are we thinking they will mail decisions or send them via email?? Or both?? I would think they will let us know within a few weeks after all interviews are done. I hope so. It is just nuts how...

    ejcl68 replied to nrsstudent2010's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi wj; I only asked since there were two prof's teaching it(O' and sal) so I was just wondering if one was better than the other. I agree -with online courses it probably doesn't matter. But I heard...
