shan409 ASN, BSN, LPN, RN

I completed the program in 2 billing sessions (Nov. 2019-Apr. 2020 in just under 6 months). I would do it again and would recommend it to others. I'm not the most tech savvy millennial, and I knocked it out (with a death in the family, starting vir...

Thank you all so much for your information on Capella. I'll be starting the RN-BSN soon.

I like both health systems. DMC-health insurance is not as good as it was a few years ago. Lots of variety and specialty positions, but lots of transitioning of management with Tenet. Ascension-transitioning as well as it becomes a bigger market h...

I don't know if you're still interested, but I've worked for both DMC and Ascension (St. John).

Hello AN! I just passed the TEAS 6 at Schoolcraft this past Friday (after not scoring well enough in science on the TEAS 5 earlier this year). All of my pre-reqs have been accepted (from HFCC and Davenport, where I completely my LPN last year) and ...

I graduated May 5th, took my NCLEX May 29th, found out I passed 2 hours after completion via email from LARA/ACCELA (state board), pay was increased at my current position by $3 an hour (LPN rate to RN rate), and I have just accepted a position as a ...

There is a rotation list sent out before the class starts that has you put your choices in order. Advanced Med-Surg I had 2 clinical days (07:00-14:30), one 4-5 hour class with 2 instructors. Psych I had one 12 hour day at clinical that I loved, wit...

I met a classmate in my first class in Fall 1 and we studied together the entire program. We met at Starbucks, Tim Hortons, libraries (she's a mom too, so we had study dates with our kids with coffee and snacks). I studied with some of my clinical ...

Hello Fellow Future :nurse:s, I am looking at all these different apps (#teamandroid) on my tablet for A&P, pharmacology I, and fundamentals and don't know where to start. Does anyone have any apps they love/hate? Thanks!

Just completed NURS 248-very intense! Study the materials/disease processes that are on your PowerPoints from this class (OB/Peds). On my way to leadership in 2 weeks and ready for graduation. I'm very blessed, grateful, and happy to have made it thr...

I was placed in the Fall 2017 class, but had a fellow classmate from my LPN program at DU get placed in Fall 2018 and she was bumped up and is now in the same cohort with me. Sidenote: The program is based on 7 week classes (ex: 1/2 semester in MedS...

Goodmorning Everyone! I received my acceptance letter for Davenport's Warren campus for PN Fall 2014 last week! I'm so excited. After going through a crazy process with ITT-Canton (ADN) program and deciding to NOT attend and getting an intial denia...

I went from 14-15, and we had approx. 2 days when classes were held and I was blessed to have 12 hour clinicals for 1st and 2nd semester, so I only had to go once per week. So a total of 3 days to devote to school schedule. I went part time at work...

I didn't. I submitted the rotation form, received my 1st choice, and was able to register for class though. I am dropping off the background check and the other forms that were sent via email tomorrow.

Yes, the letter was very "generic". I emailed the nursing office today for more info, as I do not know how Schoolcraft goes since I am a transfer student.

Thank you!

Hello everyone, I'll be finishing up my LPN program at Davenport this summer and am looking at schools for LPN-RN (as Davenport only has LPN, BSN, Masters). My options thus far are OCC, Schoolcraft, and HFCC. Has anyone attended a LPN-RN program i...

Update: I received my letter in the mail today that I am listed for the Fall 2017 LPN to ADN cohort. Any Schoolcraft Nursing alumni that can give me insight on the scheduling of classes/clinical for the program?

I graduated from Davenport's LPN program (Warren campus) August 2015. I am currently an Assistant Health and Wellness Director at an assisted living and just started at St. John on a med-surg unit. I went in with credit (an associate degree from H...

I agree with most of the other nurses. But I do have a point if view on the subject that my be different: marinol and other weed derivatives are proven to do more good than harm unlike other RX only medications. I've worked with nurses "on" Xanax, m...

Hello All Nurses family! I had to share with you all that I passed my last semester of my LPN program!!!!!!!! It was torture waiting on that last OB/Peds grade, but last night my professor sent an email that the grades were finally in....and I passe...

I am bridging my way through my nursing career as well. I finished my LPN in August (passed my NCLEX in October and started my first nursing job a week later!), then going on next fall for LPN-RN, and will work on my BSN (with tuition reimbursement)...

Yes, it depends on the facility. Started at $23/hr at my first LPN, but my classmates are ranging $20-$26. We are in the Metro Detroit area.

Congrats! I just passed last week!!!!! I know your excitement level.

Thank you so much!!!!
