Has anyone recently taken the NET (Nursing Entrance Test)? How much of it was regular math and was there any algebra? Thanks!

Airis, I wonder-did you have any healthcare experience before you went into the RT program? It's sounds like radiology will work out better for you. I have worked in hospice as an aide for 4 years now, and ALL my patients die, it would be nice to se...

Hi all, I am looking into the Respiratory Therapy and the Nursing program at MCCC, wondering if there were any other appliciants or students here? What do you know about MCCC? What's the amount of competition for each program? Thanks!

Thanks for the info. I am much more interested in the RT program. It has been a good 17 years since I took the ACT, lol. I feel like I have been burned on nursing programs too many times now anyway (changing pre-reqs after I have already been waitlis...

Kharing, I have a couple of questions for you, if you don't mind. Were you able to work while you were attending school, and if you did, was it related to RT? Thanks!

You might also look into being a home health aide, I have been one on and off for about 12 years, and I have never been certified as a CNA. The hours are very flexible and you also get milage reimbursement. I work as an HHA for a hospice and I love m...

I am going to start my actual nursing classes in September 2006, and my husband is freaking out (to put it mildly). He knew this was coming, and now that I have been able to find out what semester for sure, he is in a panic about money. We have been...

Wow, do I feel stupid... I had been taking my pre-reqs at community college (with a 2 year waitlist for their ADN program). I was accepted into a private college for the BSN program after months of admission hassles, and was planning on starting cl...

The difference is the tuition costs between the community college and the private college- 340.00 a credit hour (jumping to 381.00 when nursing classes begin) vs. 67.00. I can take 5 credits at the CC for every one at the other college. I was awarded...

Thanks everyone, I will have my husband read all these too. Unfortunately, there is basically nothing else to cut back. We rarely eat out, cell phones are a necessity for our jobs, we are both on the road all day, and have the mininmum plans that me...

Is anyone else going through the application process at Madonna in Livonia? I have spoke to the Admissions director twice now and both time she confirmed that I have been accepted- but they haven't mailed me anything- it's been 1 1/2 months since the...

Thanks for everyone's input. I was accepted into the BSN program, and I will start Madonna in the fall, but I will still be working on pre-reqs for a couple more semesters. I think no matter where you go, there will be a mix of students, some good a...

I'm taking Gen. Psych for 8 1/2 weeks at the community college- then July and August off, then I am starting classes where I will get my BSN: Sociology online Nutrition online Pathophysiology Spanish for Health Professionals I work full time as a hom...

I live in SE Michigan, I found that I will finish my 4 yr program in about the same amount of time as an ADN program with the waitlist at my local CC. I am choosing to go to a private school, so that cuts down on the waitlist, I have heard some scary...

I have been working as an HHA for a few weeks now and I have developed a rash under my wedding ring. It has an intricate design, so I think powder from the gloves and moisture is getting trapped in there somehow. I (of course) wash my hands constantl...

At our school, we haveI and II of them combined into a 15 week "anatomy boot camp hell" (instructors words on the first night of class) and the level has stayed the same throughout- fascinating but very overwhelming. Some things came easier because o...

I talked to the Admissions director twice, and both times she said I was admitted, but I still haven't recievied anything "official" in the mail or otherwise- it is going on a few weeks now. Anyone else having any admission experiences? Should I ca...

Got my acceptance letter today...only 6 days after I kicked a** on the NET retake...I'm official :balloons:

Start memorizng bones! Save yourself some stress when the pressure is on!

Agggh, no. I called AGAIN, and talked to the admissions counselor. This is a little confusing, but I had taken the NET in January and was only eligible for probationary admission. I said I would just retake the NET in April so I could be fully admitt...

Thanks, I am starting to get a little anxious...

I live here in Ann Arbor, and I don't work at either, but I do work with a lot of RN's ( I am still a student) and what I have heard since I have lived here is that if you need major techinical things done, like transplants, etc, go to U of M, if you...

I was just standing in line at the grocery store, looking at the magazine covers. I see a body builder magazine with a hansdsome guy on the cover, but am I looking at his face? No...I am reciting "rectus abdominus, latismuss dorsi, zygomatic, sternoc...

Just one, but I got in. Private school- will cost a ton, but I will be done with my BSN at the same time it would have taken to get an ADN with the waitlist at the community college. Actually I will start nursing classes at least a semester earlier.

Has anyone taken pathophysiology in an online format? Do you feel you learned what you needed or do you wish you had gone to a class? Thanks!
