  1. Questions about DMC

    JP2011 replied to doughboiwife's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Good luck with the interview. The thing about DMC is that good care is provided with minimal resources. Hopefully if the Vanguard take over happens we will have financing to improve our resources....

  2. Schoolcraft College nursing program waitlist...help!!

    JP2011 replied to Lisa2009's topic in Michigan Nursing

    That wouldn't happen because the 2012 - 2014 people who lost a spot to a 2015 would definitely sue. I know I would. That would be grossly unfair. You can't promise someone something and then take it...

  3. Schoolcraft College nursing program waitlist...help!!

    JP2011 replied to Lisa2009's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I think they may stop the wait list, but they may do it after 2015 or 2016. They can't all of a sudden decide to make it competitive admissions and leave everyone who applied and are accepted out of...

  4. Schoolcraft College nursing program waitlist...help!!

    JP2011 replied to Lisa2009's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The only reason Schoolcraft has this issue is that most other schools have competitive admissions instead of just accepting everyone. I think when the economy recovers many people will lose interest...

  6. How being a CNA effected your nursing career?

    JP2011 replied to PatMac10,RN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh and as a CNA it helps me remember where I came from. I will be graduating as a nurse in 2013 and I will be a CRNA by 2018. I will definitely respect everyone below me when I become a nurse because...

  7. How being a CNA effected your nursing career?

    JP2011 replied to PatMac10,RN's topic in General Nursing

    I passed the exam in 10 minutes, the clinical skills part for me (let me see I was 18 so this was 3 years ago)... I had oral care, bed bath, and emptying a foley catheter.I forgot to close the door or...

    You know how the flu protects millions of people and one person has an adverse reaction and the people focus on that? Apply that to this

  9. "Nurse" wins powerball

    JP2011 replied to november17's topic in General Nursing

    I believe if you win a BIG jackpot you have to claim your prize in a ceremony where they invite the local news to attend. You can claim your prize if you form a "trust" therefore keeping your name...

  10. In your opinion, was this an inappropriate assignment?

    JP2011 replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh I see. I'm just curious how is the infant stored? Just in room or in a refrigerator? I know our IUFDs always look pretty bad after a few hours at room temp (not trying to be

  11. In your opinion, was this an inappropriate assignment?

    JP2011 replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    She was postpartum day 2 with the fetus still in the room? Our IUFDs are allowed bonding time and then the baby is transferred to the morgue (they are not rushed at all) and mom is transferred to a...

  12. In your opinion, was this an inappropriate assignment?

    JP2011 replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It just seems that you are more uncomfortable with that assignment. Outside of emotional support (which should mainly be provided by a support person) You are taking care of a normal delivered...

  13. Anyone in the LPN program at Schoolcraft

    JP2011 replied to kcc3's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I think so, you only have to take it to be able to take LPN boards, studying for LPN boards is a waste if you have to study for RN boards 28 weeks later. The summer course is advanced concepts of...

  14. Anyone in the LPN program at Schoolcraft

    JP2011 replied to kcc3's topic in Michigan Nursing

    It's never too late. I would just do the RN, I don't know how LPN job outlook is even though RN job outlook is not that good (right now). If you are doing RN I wouldn't take the summer LPN class. I...

  16. Schoolcraft College nursing program waitlist...help!!

    JP2011 replied to Lisa2009's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Oakland University has a three year waitlist for its Bachelors program. I think the issue is that nurses can make more money working on a floor than being an educator. Also we don't have enough...

  19. Could I like OB even if I'm an "all natural" kind of girl?

    JP2011 replied to lalalalexi's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, I think if you could find another job you should. I'm not a nurse but at the facility I work at of the 24 beds we have almost everybody is on pitocin, with a IUPC, they want an epidural, or need...

    JP2011 replied to Cayles1102's topic in Michigan Nursing

    For what it's worth, while doswald1 is commenting on NLN accredidation, the school that she graduated from (Michigan State) is not NLN accredited either. NLN accredidation is expensive and is...

    JP2011 replied to camjones's topic in Michigan Nursing

    JP2011 replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet. Not sure if it matters, but I have friends from work that I absolutely cherish their friendships. It is not uncommon for us to go out on an off night. Our friendships are great...

  25. What do you start IVs with in your OB unit?

    JP2011 replied to LNDRN2's topic in Ob/Gyn
