  1. LCC Accelerated Nursing Program

    AnnaN5 replied to denit1am's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Sorry to all of you who didn't get in or are alternates. I have said it many times that LCC needs to totally revamp their admission system somehow because eventually all of the tracks will require...

  2. New graduate job at sparrow in lansing

    AnnaN5 replied to denit1am's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Ya I saw that but like I said they supposedly only have a handful of openings for the residency and besides the residency program they do not have any openings for new grads. Just thought I would...

  3. New graduate job at sparrow in lansing

    AnnaN5 replied to denit1am's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Are you sure about that? I was told they had very few openings in their new grad residency program and other than those positions they were not doing any hiring. Friends who work there have said...

  4. Appealing Financial Aid Denial

    AnnaN5 replied to CorazonDeOro's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I was in the same situation as you. I have a previous bachelors and went back to get my ADN. I was denied financial aid at first because they said I was over the maximum amount of credits allowed....

  5. Nurses "on-call" related to low census; Am I rightfully angry?

    AnnaN5 replied to inthesky's topic in General Nursing

    Our unit uses on call quite frequently. We are a large 55 bed unit and the staffing is made as if we are full. When we are not full then nurses have to be either low needed, put on call, or floated...

  6. LCC Accelerated Nursing Program

    AnnaN5 replied to LCCrn4me's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I was in the very first accelerated program that graduated at LCC. I would say if you get in, do the accelerated format. It is fast paced but I really enjoyed it and felt like it was over in no...

  7. Question about shifts

    AnnaN5 replied to jenni82104's topic in Michigan Nursing

    As a new grad, the most opportunities are mostly available on nights (7p-7a). All of the places I interviewed at did not do 8 hours shifts anymore, the only shifts available were 7a-7p or 7p-7a. Is...

  8. University of Michigan-Flint or Oakland University

    AnnaN5 replied to monkeyadale's topic in Michigan Nursing

    As far as clinicals, there are 2 classes that have clinical portions to them. One is Community Health Nursing (NUR 410) and the other is Management (NUR 430). You are supposed to find your own...

  9. University of Michigan-Flint or Oakland University

    AnnaN5 replied to monkeyadale's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I am doing UM-Flint's RN-BSN program right now. Oakland rejected me, still am unsure why because I graduated with a 3.9 from my ADN program so I went with UM-Flint. I really like the program so far....

  10. Accelerated/Second Degree BSN Programs?

    AnnaN5 posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    Has anyone on this board attended or is currently attending one of these programs at GVSU, Wayne State or U of M? I am looking into applying to these programs and just wanted to get some personal...

  11. Do you round on your patients every one hour?

    AnnaN5 replied to LilyBlue's topic in General Nursing

    I work on a floor where we get 6-7 patients at night. We are required to do hourly rounding but I do not wake up patients if they are sleeping. I step into the room to make sure they are still...

  12. Unemployment in Michigan and college

    AnnaN5 replied to MandyinMichigan's topic in General Nursing

    Just wanted to let you know that you can go to school and stay on unemployment in Michigan. You just have to answer the question about if you would drop your classes to accept a job as yes. I...

  13. UoM-Flint

    AnnaN5 replied to OnlyByHisGrace's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I think I saw in another post that you graduated from LCC. I graduated from there as well and am doing the RN-BSN completion program online. They are also offering the RN-BSN classes at the...

    How much total are your debts? Not how much per month you pay for bills, but how much do you owe on your car, credit cards,

  17. Flu Vaccine

    AnnaN5 replied to country mom's topic in General Nursing

    At our hospital all staff are required to get the flu shot or provide a letter from your physician stating why you can not get it. I got mine a few days ago. I usually always get one anyways because...

  18. Color Code for All

    AnnaN5 replied to edmia's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    At our hospital the nurses are only allowed to wear navy blue or white, none of the other staff have a color code. It seems to becoming a trend around here because a couple of the hospitals I...

  19. Why would people choose to go to a NURSE PRACTITIONER as opposed to a physician?

    AnnaN5 replied to MedicalDreams's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The OB/GYN office I go to is staffed by MDs and one NP. I chose to go to the NP, I feel I get better care when I see her. Alot of people must feel that way about her because it is a long wait to get...

  20. BS plus ADN equal to BSN?

    AnnaN5 replied to mynameisk's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I would say that for most places your BS + ADN will not equal a BSN. I am in that position, I have a BS in Human Biology and my ADN and I am not eligible for the extra pay per hour that BSN nurses...

  22. LCC Accelerated Program

    AnnaN5 replied to jennileigh8182's topic in Michigan Nursing

    So I spoke with my sister-in-law and she said that the cut off for the group that is starting next month was 44 points out of the 70 or 75 that are available. The accelerated program may end up being...

  23. LCC Accelerated Program

    AnnaN5 replied to jennileigh8182's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I will try to find out what the point value for admission this term was. I was part of the first class of the accelerated program that graduated this past May. My sister in law just found out she...

  24. How much sleep?

    AnnaN5 replied to beachbum3's topic in General Nursing

    I work 7p-7a. I usually get home by 0800, eat something quick, shower and am asleep by 0900 and sleep until 1500-1600. Sometimes I get up earlier than that so I can try to spend some time with my...
