    WorkingTowardsBSN replied to charlotte.anderson.'s topic in Michigan Nursing

    I've heard really wonderful things about the program at HFCC, and a friend of mine graduated with her BSN-RN at Eastern, so you've got some great schools lined up! :) I am married with two daughters,...

  2. Waiting list......

    WorkingTowardsBSN replied to rystle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "Preference" doesn't equal requirement. There's a local university here that prefers you take 12 credits at their school before applying. My friend got her acceptance letter a couple weeks ago and...

    WorkingTowardsBSN replied to rystle's topic in Michigan Nursing

    ATI has a company they work with (and shoot, I cannot think of what it's called. I'll see if I can figure it out!) that I tested through. I was actually testing to apply to Davenport, which is why I...

  5. Waiting list......

    WorkingTowardsBSN replied to rystle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Contact your local hospital(s) and see about volunteering! There is no better way to gauge whether or not your heart is in this than to do some of the grunt work for free! The perk to this is that it...

    WorkingTowardsBSN replied to Success88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I completely agree with limitless! Apply to more schools! Near/far/whatever! Do not give up on your dreams! These no's are just "not now" or "not this school." It is not the

  8. Schoolcraft College

    WorkingTowardsBSN replied to rystle's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Oh! I didn't take the TEAS at Schoolcraft - I took it through one of ATI's testing sites. It was more money, but there are a LOT more date & time options. When I asked SC about how to send my...

  9. Schoolcraft College

    WorkingTowardsBSN replied to rystle's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Forgot to mention - as far as the test being timed... You take it all at once. So if you get done with something, you just keep going. In total I think they give you 4-5 hours? But I was done in about...

    WorkingTowardsBSN replied to rystle's topic in Michigan Nursing

    A&P 237 & 238 are significantly more in depth classes. They were specifically designed for people getting into the medical field, so I would recommend taking those over 236. I got the McGraw...

  11. I'm not getting in :(

    WorkingTowardsBSN replied to Jennifer425RN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks!!! My mother in law is a RN with an ADN and she pushed and pushed and pushed for me to just get on the waitlist and "save your family all that money" on the BSN. But my goal is to actually...

  12. Freaking myself out

    WorkingTowardsBSN replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A LOT can happen in three years!!! Your hub might find a new/better job where he has great insurance! Knowing you have three years before getting into a program, use it to your advantage! Start saving...

  13. I'm not getting in :(

    WorkingTowardsBSN replied to Jennifer425RN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We have 3-5 year waitlists here for our ADN programs - and the only admit once a year. It's

  16. Fall 2012 new nursing students roll call!!!

    WorkingTowardsBSN replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

    I'm so sorry you had such a terrible experience. I do think it's incredibly important to learn to roll with the punches, though I don't agree with the way your instructor attempted to teach you that....

  17. Medical Terminology class--useful?

    WorkingTowardsBSN replied to sKris's topic in General Students

    I'm glad to hear you're going to at least do the studying on your own! I actually took two med term courses - one very, very basic, and one more advanced. I actually ended up taking them prior to...

    WorkingTowardsBSN replied to rystle's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I took phlebotomy at SC and there were a LOT of nurses & nursing students in my class! Our teacher is a nurse at Beaumont, and one of the students (who is already a nurse) said that she never felt...

  25. Who all is waiting to apply/hear back for Fall 2012?

    WorkingTowardsBSN replied to CRNBSN18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I waited SIX MONTHS for my decision. No joke. I applied for early decision in October, was told in mid December that I wasn't accepted for early decision, but that they'd still consider me for regular...
