I have a quick question for you, can you please explain cholinergic and adrenergic? Im confused as two what subcategories follow? From what I took during lecture, the PNS has ACh, NE, and EP neurotransmitters. Followed by the receptors: Alpha 1 and 2, Beta 1 and 2, and dop (sometimes). And for SNS, there are no transmitters but the receptors are: Alpha 1 and 2, beta 1 and 2 and dop. Am I understanding that correctly?

Honestly, Im not sure but I think its a mixture of the two. If you're applying to Uof D, I highly suggest taking the HESI Entrance exam asap and taking it at U of D. They require specific subjects and not all the places offer the same subjects. If you take it else where and you're missing one of the subject U of D requires, they void your entire exam. And make you retake it, with all the subjects you need. Its really easy, and has a lot of basic information. As far as GPA, first they look to see if you passed the HESI Exam (they don't care about how well you do, just as long as you pass it), then they look at your cumulative GPA. Based on the GPAs, they pick their nursing students. Im sure somewhere in this process they look at your sciences but I'm not sure. If you have any questions, please let me know. Hope this helps!

Hi! Thank you(: My GPA for both schools were a 3.84 and a 3.87 in sciences. Best of luck to you!

Yeah I definitely agree, it was a lot of information but I learned so much. Now I feel better and more comfortable because I know wht exactly the program entails and what is expected from the students. oh yeah, pharm techs is a "constant moving" job. I was a pharm tech for a while, there were NO breaks.. the days always felt so long. You know yourself and what you can handle. If your boss is cool, maybe he'll let you work two or three days a week, nothing too demanding but you would still be making some money. Best of luck with what you decide!(: lol, I don't think we met either... but hopefully in august we will! Hope to see you then!(:

me too! Umm, I don't think I am going to work. If so, Id probably stay with my receptionist job at a nursing home. I get a lot of down time, which would be great for studying! Are you planning on working? And my name is Amani, what is yours? I met so many people at orientation, looking back now it feels like a blur lol. It was so much information at once.

YAY! That's awesome, I look forward to meeting and working with you!(: Im excited but nervous at the same time... its bitter sweet lol

Hi Dayanan17! Did you end up deciding which school you are going to attend??

Yeah books can be very costly... its ridiculous paying an arm and a leg for a book and then getting barely nothing for it when you do the book buy back. Thank you all for the great advice!! I will most definitely RENT all my books! Thanks again!(:

Hi! I know that for Wayne State specifically, there are private scholarships for single mothers only. It is a little pricey thought, as of right now the price for three years is almost $65,000. So far I received a decent amount of scholarships, but no where near enough to cover a 1/3 of the cost. I also applied to University of Detroit Mercy and they offer at $15,000 PER YEAR if you have above a 3.5 gpa. They also offer two transfer scholarships (that you have to apply for) that cover your FULL TUITION! I don't think it can get better than that. Take a look at the school. Im not sure what the average gap is for UDM students, but it worth a shot! Good luck.

Hi guys! So I start nursing school in the fall at Wayne State, and would like to buy my books ahead of time. If I buy used books from my university bookstore the total comes to be around $800. I looked on a few other websites (amazon, alibris, ebay, abebooks, and etc), and got my total to be max $200. Who wouldn't love to save $600 on books?! lol. My only concern is that if I get them from other websites I may not have the CD's, and access codes. Are they really that important? Would buying them from other websites, versus my school bookstore put me at a disadvantage or do you think Ill be okay? I'd love to hear your thoughts! Thanks(:

the difference between the two of them, is that the associates is an LPN (licensed Practical Nurse) and the bachelors is a RN degree. Now a days LPNS are finding it VERY difficult to find a job, because many hospitals and nursing homes are only accepting RNs.

Hi! I totally know what you mean! Nursing school is such a rigorous program and filled with so much info! I think for the most part, all universities allow you to fail a max of one class. In the beginning it will be hard adjusting and getting settled in. So time management may be key, but I think the 2nd semester and on will be much more clear! TIP!! Find a group of good students and have study groups, that is one of the most effective ways to study!! Good luck!(:

Would highly suggest looking at medisave.net, after all my searching and looking around... they had the cheapest pricing and engraving too!(:

OMG I know exactly how you feel!! I would highly suggest shea butter or cocoa butter they work very well! Also something that I do (I have eczema) is that at night I put a bunch of lotion on my hands, rub it in a little... but for the most part leave a layer not rubbed in. Thru the night, my hands absorb the lotion... it works very well for me!

Hi! I heard the dansko pros are a great pick! They are a little on the price side, but the RN i spoke to said they work wonders. She said after a 12 hr shift, she doesn't feel any pain in her back, feet, or ankles. I personally have to wear white shoes -_- and clogs are acceptable... bummer I know! Hope you find a great pair of shoes!
