  1. Macomb Community College Nursing Questions

    LauJen replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm just bringing a pen... I figure they're going to be handing out packets of info, so I just plan on making notes on whatever they give me, if I need to. I'm excited to hear about the new uniforms....

  2. Costs/Questions about Macomb

    LauJen replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    They weren't nursing recruiters, it was just general

  3. Changing nursing schools.

    LauJen replied to michinurse's topic in Michigan Nursing

    From what I understand, they make you start over. They want to know that you're getting all the information they feel is necessary for you to know, before they give you a degree from their school. For...

  4. Costs/Questions about Macomb

    LauJen replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The PCT position does come available at St. John's Main a lot.... I've been "passed over" for that job 3 times, due to me not being certified for CPR yet.... I don't know how your friend got to talk...

  5. Costs/Questions about Macomb

    LauJen replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    No one will hire us for a Nursing Assistant position with only pre-req's... I met with someone at Beaumont for a Registrar job (not related to nursing, but was trying to get my foot in the door) and I...

  6. Macomb Community College Nursing Questions

    LauJen replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I have an ipod touch, but haven't really looked into any programs for school for it yet. I heard iflipr or something was a good flash card program to use for studying on the touch. Anyone know of any...

  7. OCC pre-req transfers to Macomb?

    LauJen replied to JaaaeyRN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm under the impression that it needs to have a lab.... I transfered mine from Baker and Macomb accepted it because it has the lab. You may want to speak to another (hopefully more helpful) counselor...

  8. Macomb Community College Nursing Questions

    LauJen replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    No, there isn't a list, but you can pretty much just expect to need a stethoscope, scrubs and comfortable shoes for nursing school though. They're going to talk to us about it at orientation, since...

  9. Current Nursing Students- Which Stethoscope is Best?

    LauJen replied to shawnb's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Oh congratulations! Best of luck to you!!

  10. Macomb Community College Nursing Questions

    LauJen replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'll just PM everyone that I've been talking to on these threads with my facebook address. It's set to private so you won't see anything more than my name and picture, but at least you will know who I...

  11. Current Nursing Students- Which Stethoscope is Best?

    LauJen replied to shawnb's topic in Michigan Nursing

    rzyzzy - did you just make it into MCC for this fall

  12. Please explain Baker College to me

    LauJen replied to MySimplePlan's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm learning (after taking ALL pre-reqs at Baker) that NLNAC accredidation is HUGE, and Baker doesn't have it. I (thankfully) got into Macomb, although I applied to Baker as well, and very well could...

  13. Macomb Community College Nursing Questions

    LauJen replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Well, I agree, a forum for us would be great. It also puts faces with screen names, which may be an issue at orientation! I want to meet you all, but don't want to walk around asking " Are you...

  14. Macomb Community College Nursing Questions

    LauJen replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Someone on another one of these MCC threads (we should just make ONE that we all use instead of 4) that they changed our curriculum this time around, so I'm guessing everything is going to be a little...

  15. Macomb Community College Nursing Questions

    LauJen replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    NICE!! That's awesome news!! I thought they were ugly anyways (the pants especially). I hope they don't change the color though.... I think white scrubs are the worst idea

  16. Current Nursing Students- Which Stethoscope is Best?

    LauJen replied to shawnb's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I've been looking at the Littman scopes, but can't really figure out what the difference (besides $$$$) between a "master" model, or just the regular model is. For instance, the Cardiology III or the...

  17. ITT Tech?

    LauJen replied to Coruscatedgirl's topic in Michigan Nursing

    What about an accelerated 2nd degree ADN program? Those usually take a year, which isn't too

  18. Macomb Community College Nursing Questions

    LauJen replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I would love earlier, but I don't want to push it, so January would probably just be best. I figured I could just complete some classes for my BSN during the fall term, since I'll have the financial...

  19. ITT Tech?

    LauJen replied to Coruscatedgirl's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Well, I'm glad it'll work for you! Michigan is a little different, because you do have to have the hours/certain courses taken, and it's been said on here that continuing on after getting your degree...

  20. Who Has Been Accepted to Macomb's Fall 2010 Nursing Program?

    LauJen replied to shawnb's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Thanks NBmom. On that note, I was #151 out of 159. I would L-O-V-E a January start for a few reasons, but figure that I'm obviously slated for March. Does anyone think that there is a LITTLE hope that...

  21. Macomb Community College Nursing Questions

    LauJen replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Love New Balance... that's all I wear. I'll check out the place in Ferndale for the scrubs, and if they don't have them, I'll try the place in Troy. So, again, I was #151 out of 159. I would L-O-V-E...

  22. ITT Tech?

    LauJen replied to Coruscatedgirl's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Sorry, but coming out of a University looks better than ITT, so if you're going to pay X amount either way, why not pay it and get a better degree?! And again, I think jumping into a program like ITT...

  23. ITT Tech?

    LauJen replied to Coruscatedgirl's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm sorry, but to pay 52k for a degree that has nothing transferable is RIDICULOUS. Just because it's a quick start doesn't mean it's a great idea. Many hospitals REQUIRE their nurses to have at least...

  24. Macomb Community College Nursing Questions

    LauJen replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    CorazonDeOro, good to know Dickies has the pants in the sailor blue. The pants from Dove look scary. haha. There's a big scrub store in Ferndale that I usually go to, and I think they give discounts...

  25. Macomb Community College Nursing Questions

    LauJen replied to zhockeymom77's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I want to order a top from them and see if I can take it to a scrub store and match it with any other brand. Dove's prices are ridiculous. $47 for a pair of scrub pants?! REALLY??? Ive had many pairs...
