I can give you an idea of costs (ballpark from what I remember) TB and flu shot - around $30 at Health Dept. Titers - $125 at St. Clair Health Dept. - if your insurance covers this, the cost may be less Physical - $50 Drug Screen - $50 - Concerta BLS...

You are not obsessing at all! I know exactly how all of you are feeling. From what I know from the past, the alternates get a phone call when spots become available. In 2009, my daughter (that was just accepted) convinced me to go back to school and...

In the past the orientation for the alternates is at a different time.

My daughter and my son's girlfriend both got in! I am thrilled for all of you. You will find out your start later through the mail if they are still following the same format as before. Usually your start date is determined by ranking, so those that...

rngal - are you in the program?

Someone told me you could call and they would tell you over the phone. I am already in the program but we are waiting for the letter for my daughter - I hate this stress!

I was told the letters went out today.

Skyscape for iPhone. Go see ---- in the practice lab for a discount code.

I use both. The hard copies for actual school work and then the skyscape versions for clinical so I don't have to lug books around.

--- for A&P is awesome! I didn't care for my patho instructor, so No recommendation there :)

LOL You will be an August start for sure!!! :)

Good for you and the best of luck on getting an August start! The 3 hour lab consists of performing physical assessments (basically a physical) - you will have a lab partner and you practice on each other. This class has a midterm and a final (both r...

You will have 4 classes - 2 lectures, a 3 hr lab and a 6 hr lab. The hardest part of the first 8 weeks is to not be overwhelmed and to stay organized. It is a very exciting time and most people really enjoy it! How do you know you will be an August s...

Does anyone have any information as to what the average grade point and Hesi scores are for this year? How many people actually applied for the program and took the Hesi? When does Macomb usually send out acceptance letters? Also, even though the ...

You are not doing anything wrong, that's just the way it is. Accept it, work hard and reap the rewards of your effort :)

More people DO work than don't.

BOught the Master Classic II yesterday - what a difference!!!

Yes, the Kee math book is required and you will use it but the teacher does not teach from it. You are on your own for the assignments and you will be tested on it. For 1040 the math consists of fractions, metrics and equivalents and such. You will u...

I have a Littmann Classic II SE and have the same problem. I switched the ear pieces thinking that would help but it's still the same (I do have them in correctly). Even with the diaphragm adjustment, still no luck. I ended up having my teacher try i...

Have you done them on a patient yet? If so, please tell me about it! :)

NG tubes and the fact that we actually learn them on patients, not in a lab setting

This is not a "ghost" story but instead proof to me that spirits do exist. One morning in March of 2011, I was filling out paperwork that required family member's names for an upcoming activity. When I went to write my dad's name down, I thought don'...

Also there are free apps available that are interesting - check out epocrates and there are also NCLEX programs. Just search your App Store for lots of fun stuff.

For school we use the Taber's Medical Dictionary, Davis's Drug Guide and Davis's Lab Guide. Skyscape has all of these and more available for iPhone. I have the Nursing Constellation Plus and LOVE it! Check with your school to see if they have a code ...

The board meeting was on the 29th so they should notify us soon. I was told to make sure that you have an email address in your profile on webadvisor because they are going paperless.
