Turns out my background check had disappeared and they had to submit a service request to the state police to get it again. Glad I finally called and got things sorted out, I finally get to sit for the NCLEX may 7th. Thanks for the kind words and adv...

Hello all, I'm hoping you someone can shed some light on my situation. I have recently graduated nursing school (in michigan) and also have obtained my green card (Canadian citizen). The school I graduated from has never dealt with any international ...

That's what I figured, but with this long wait and everyone receiving theirs, it makes my mind wander. Thank you for replying! I'll just sit on my hands and be patient!

auryn24: Hurricane Katrina update #1 I know this was a long time ago but her is the link to the blog.

Mine requires an 84%, or fail.

Micro changed my life, ha!

Thank you!

Is there any way someone could email these to me? I can't open the attachment, I haven't been able to confirm my account after multiple attempts of contact to allnurses. These would be so valuable!!

I had a 3.9 GPA and applied to the program with 92 pts at the Owosso campus. Cut off this year for Owosso was 84-95 pts, if you don't get in you get an extra point when you reapply (1 time). I can't give you advice about the program because u start t...

I'm 24, been Rollin around with one for two years! No way in he@@ I'd try and hike my books on my back, that would be crazy!

How did you find out your ranking?

Exactly what the PP said. I've also hear a few bad things about Baker, but mostly from disgruntled students on the Internet, never from people that I've talked to face to face. Mostly, I've heard people upset and hurt they haven't made it into the p...

Hahahaha I loved the "borrowed" pens/pencils idea. You'd think this far in life people would learn to become prepared to class, nope! I only use those sharpie pens, they are the best for long lecture classes, but a damper on the wallet. After many "b...

For what it's worth, I purchased a blue tooth keyboard via EBay for $23.

There is a post floating around here that is titled "why are nurses mean to each other" there's a few posts on here that show perfect examples of it. Whether student or nurse, most come here for advice and positive reinforcement, many don't have peop...

AP is your building blocks, just try to take in as much as you possibly can. Every class after that will bring everything full circle, the things you learned in AP will soon come together with AP2 and Pathophysiology.

I agree, I have got a lot of great info/advice off this site. It seems a few bad apples have made some of it slightly scary!

I agree, I've seen a lot of this behavior. It left me somewhat surprised to see the ASN vs. BSN and old nurses VS new nurses kind of thing. I tend to see people very judgmental of people asking "stupid" questions or posting "stupid" answers. I'm slig...

I bought my stethoscope via all heart and it also ended with USPS, although my shipping was very reasonable (even with engraving). I was only aggravated that they left my stethoscope outside my door because I wasn't home, thank god it was there when ...

I just bought a pair of nurses mate shoes for clinicals, not too expensive and very comfortable.

The whole "coloring book" for college students has everything to do with visual learners. Everyone learns differently, some people need a more hands on visual approach vs. memorizing by writing. I too am a visual learner, once I learned this I drew a...

Every time I've bought a used book, I tend to have the worst luck! 98% of it is always highlighted! With all the answers to end of chapter quizzes answered in red pen. Therefore I buy new...from amazon :)

Yes! The best advice I was given was "get a good night sleep the night before, and when everyone is scrambling asking questions outside the classroom before the test-keep your head down and plug your ears!" Cramming is like pushing it in one side, as...

I don't believe in over studying, but I do believe in over thinking. Sometimes those can go hand in hand, but I tend to sit back on tests and rethink it when it seems to get ridiculously complicated, usually it's because I'm over thinking it. Being p...

I'm also from Canada, And I also live in Michigan with my fiancé. Politics and bulls*** aside I've had four surgeries in Canada in the past 1 1/2 years with top of the line health care, no wait. "Socialized" or not, our government takes care of us, b...
