  1. Mid-Michigan Community College ADN v. Second Degree BSN? Relative Merits?

    FormerLawyer posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    I would like to start taking my pre-req classes in the Spring of 2013. I am really torn as to whether I should go the ADN route, through Mid-Michigan Community College, or whether I should attempt a...

  2. Accepted! Now needing financial advice

    FormerLawyer replied to tcl0045's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh, Mclennan, I love your plan, you are awesome! I am going to go to school for nursing as well. I;m starting my pre-reqs in the Spring, and I am currently working full time. I make terrible money...

  3. Mid-Michigan Community College ADN v. Second Degree BSN? Relative Merits?

    FormerLawyer replied to FormerLawyer's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'd have to take all the pre-reqs at grand Valley and they are too far away from where I am living to make this feasible. I'm pretty sure at this point, I'm going the ADN route. I've done enough...

  4. Decisions decisions

    FormerLawyer replied to smitty192's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe you should take a few years off to decide what you want to do? I wish that I had done that before I got my JD. I realized, way too late, that I should have pursued a degree in nursing, like i...

  5. Very inappropriate!

    FormerLawyer replied to Erikadawn RN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe she is just worried she will have to train another nurse? Has she been mean to you or anything since this occurred? I mean, she might just be worried. I know that in my jobs when my bosses...

  6. Can a teacher do this?

    FormerLawyer replied to Dezy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You know everything the teacher covered in class? That's just the base for what you need to know. You also need to know all of the stuff in the books. The professors cannot teach the books again,...

  7. Exhausted and Frustrated

    FormerLawyer replied to gathrightRN2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I found that when I am busy, I get a lot more done because it forces me to prioritize. You will be okay if you get rejected again. I have two friends who failed the bar twice, and they have both...

  8. Is it nearly impossible to find a job with only an associates degree?

  9. Is it nearly impossible to find a job with only an associates degree?

    FormerLawyer replied to Ednach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Where I live (smallish town), ADNs get hired from the local community college even before they take their exams. It's crazy, the hospital tends to hire these grads because of them do clinicals and...

  10. Nursing Externships

    FormerLawyer replied to Nscorpiored's topic in General Students

    I think if you can swing it, an internship is always the way to go. If you can't get one, then you can try and volunteer somewhere? It's always good to have some experience to list on your resume....

  11. Clinical Sites & Background Checks!

    FormerLawyer replied to x3catlover's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Talk to them first. it will look better and less like you are hiding something. Second, stop fixating on the fact that you plead to something less than you were charged with. Do not mention that....

  12. BSN or ADN? I have a chance to do either, but need help!!

    FormerLawyer replied to taraer1206's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm going the ADN route, but I have a BS and JD already, and I want to pay for the classes myself. If you are talking about 21k a semester and you mention aid, i have to ask, is this loans you refer...

  13. Is a BSN worthy? Please read , I really need an opinion!!

    FormerLawyer replied to arnurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    85k with a scholarship could get you a law degree. The average debt for a student with a BS or BA is 25k. So that's ridiculously high. Also, is this one of those online schools? Because they have a...

  14. Wearing scrubs at the gym??

    FormerLawyer replied to phieud's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I wore scrubs when I worked as a direct care worker because they were comfy. DCW is basically in home help, and I also PJS, short skirts and heels, basically, whatever I wanted. And if someone would...

  15. Starting nursing school in the Spring. REALLY nervous. TIPS??

    FormerLawyer replied to xxkmpxx's topic in General Students

    I think at the end of the day, you can do anything you put your mind to. Don;t be afraid to have questions and experiment until you find the perfect study methods for yourself. When i was in law...

  16. I did a dumb thing today and learned a lesson

    FormerLawyer replied to DawnCaprice's topic in General Students

    You can use the course eval like the other posters said. I'd like to point out that the first time whenIi was in college and I heard a professor drop an f bomb, I giggled like a schoolgirl. But...

  17. Older Student

    FormerLawyer replied to sande8312's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    if I get into a nursing program, I hope there are older students in it! I'm 28 and switching careers and I was afraid I was going to be the oldest one in the class,

  18. Clinical Sites & Background Checks!

    FormerLawyer replied to x3catlover's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And everything I posted depends on them having an appeals process where you are allowed to make your case. If I was in your situation, I would try to make my case BEFORE they had a chance to deny. I...

  19. Clinical Sites & Background Checks!

    FormerLawyer replied to x3catlover's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The hospital is private property. They do have the right to deny you, it does not matter whether your conviction is a felony or a misdemeanor. You may be able to APPEAL a denial, depending on their...

  20. Charge Nurse Ignores Me

    FormerLawyer replied to qt2168's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's not Battery. There is certain touching that you impliedly consent to, and tapping someone on the shoulder to get their attention is one of those things. For it to be battery it would have to...
