I got accepted in to the Nursing program for the Spring 2013 start for core courses. I am wondering if there is anyone else out there that will be starting with me? I will be attending the West Bend Campus!

Has anyone ever renewed and expired CNA License before? I took the class nearly three years ago. Did CNA work for about 6 months before I got a job in my degree field as a Special Education teacher. I have been out of a job for a year now. Long st...

I would think it would be OK, but I am not 100% on that. Amanda

Hello, I am a fourth semester student as of fall at MPTC done in December. You should be able to transfer credits over from your old school. I had a degree in elementary education prior to stating at MPTC and a lot of my credits from that degree tra...

I have had a total of 4 exams so far and another two this week. I have done well on all of them.

Until the 14th I am at school everyday but Fri Sat Sun and Mondau

Not going to lie alterations is difficult. We did lose a few in alterations last semester but definitely not 11. Work hard listen to lecture study the boxes that she points out do the study guide and reading. However this semester I have mental heal...

Work hard study a lot and pay attention to any highlighted look at this box and you will be ok. We lost a lot this past semester to.

Just checking to see how all of you are doing? A week into the semester and I am doing ok. Stressing a little but I feel much more relaxed then last semester at this time.

Thank you. Good Luck to you as well

I have never had Barbra or Andrea. Michelle is a fantastic instructor you will really like her for clinical.

I took the accelerated summer course as my hs chem did not transfer. It was at Hartford HS through MPTC. It was a good class much better then my HS class.

Who do you have for clinical? Clinical in hospital setting is definitely different. I enjoyed it. It was really fun to do the off unit stuff. However it was a lot of work. More concept maps and data collection tools as well as extensive write ups fo...

I have had Marylou, Pat and Michelle for clinical.

Both health alterations and health promotions have study guides. Pay attention to any boxes or page numbers the instructor tells you about in class. It will most likely be on the test

I am not going to lie it was really rough. We had a lot of students not make it through. I believe of the students that started with us 11 are no longer with us. It is a lot of work.... a lot!!

My kids are 18 months and 3. It is a lot of work and little sleep at night. I also have an amazing husband and family that help a lot.

I am at WB. I have not joined SNA because I just don't have the time. I have two toddlers at home so it is hard to find extra time. They do pay for your pinning ceremony and do fun spring break activities as well as other fun stuff.

As of spring I believe they are no longer doing a part time program. It will only be full time. Lots of students do work, I couldn't not imagine working and doing this but some people don't have a choice. I do know it is a lot of work and A LOT of ...

Quite a few of my classmates did. I did not. So I am not sure if it is worth it.

I don't know much about it other than it is 15 dollars to take it and it is on nutrition. I believe you have to pass with a 60% maybe higher. It is taken at the end of second semester in Life span clinical. It is one of three we have to take and p...

You need to know it all because it will keep coming back to you. Not only that you do have a required NLN nutrition test at end of second semester. It is good to know it now.

Yes. I always bring my small blue assessment book. Drug book and nursing diagnosis book. However they do have some of the books there.

I will let you know when that happens. I still don't feel ready for clinical. We start clinical in hospital setting in two weeks.

I hate to tell you this, but it doesn't get easier. Second semester is proving to be a new level of stress. I don't work but have two kids under 3 and some day I have no idea what way is up. Best advice is to try and find a balance.
