  1. Ive been accepted into 2 LPN programs

    CanadianAbroad replied to Lol1222's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Did you think about applying at other programs? With Everest, the parent company had a lot of schools close and is in financial trouble. Don't go there. You will just end up like me, a displaced ITT...

  2. I am not proud of my track record.

    CanadianAbroad replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

    The very notion that there is bullying towards the OP, is absolutely absurd. The OP is only "sorry" due to getting caught and now more than likely going to lose their license. What was done, was done...

  3. Graduated LPN school 8 years ago and want to take boards...need help!!

    CanadianAbroad replied to Cnkcpk's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think you are going to have to take your program over. I was an RPN in Canada and gave up my license 7 years ago due to a car accident. I need to do my entire program over here in MI. Take the...

  4. I am not proud of my track record.

    CanadianAbroad replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

    As soon as I read that, I realized my error. Of course an LPN IS a nurse! I seriously meant

  5. I am not proud of my track record.

    CanadianAbroad replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

    This seems like a troll post. If not, my god you need to get your **** together before you kill someone. Your blatant disregard to the errors you have made, and your blase attitude, make me extremely...

  6. Does anyone have good experiences in the nursing profession

    CanadianAbroad replied to magslu's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You have had multiple jobs in 7 months and try and blame the nursing field, but the problem is with yourself. Why are we nurses? Most are fulfilled in many ways other than our paychecks. What gets me...

  7. Chamberlain College Vs University Of Detroit Mercy Nursing

    CanadianAbroad replied to najchow's topic in Chamberlain College

    I am one of the ITT students that were displaced. I would warn you against Chamberlain. They do not have a good reputation and are for profit. After jumping through hoops for ITT, I would think what...

  8. LPN maybe...possibly...probably

    CanadianAbroad replied to Tabbymouse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you want LPN, why not look at Davenport for their program. You could take non-nursing BSN classes and then continue on at Davenport or another local school for their RN program. Oakland University...

  9. Nail Care

    CanadianAbroad replied to 07courtney1993's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    LPNs and RNs can be certified in nail care. There basic and advanced classes. I took it and can set up my own business if I want. It depends on the facility as to whether you can do nail care

  10. misconceptions about nursing pay

    CanadianAbroad replied to johsonmichelle's topic in General Nursing

    That is actually low, considering new Detroit grads can make that and the cost of living is way

  11. Unfair Shift Rotation

    CanadianAbroad replied to KHVILLE's topic in General Nursing

    The original post was bad enough, but your responses are over the top. Telling people to get medication and get counseling due to responding to your absurd replies, indicates you can't see you are a a...

  12. Unfair Shift Rotation

    CanadianAbroad replied to KHVILLE's topic in General Nursing

    Are you serious right now? I work, have kids and go to school. I work nights on Monday for 12 hours and then days on Wednesday for 12 hours. Stop acting as if this is the end of the world! Be grateful...

  13. Conflict with Charge - 6 Month Review

    CanadianAbroad replied to Roggae's topic in General Nursing

    This is a Charge who has been given way too much power. This has created an ego nurse, that is thinking about herself and not her patients. It reminds me of a story that happened with my Mom. She was...

  14. Kicked off unit when Joint Commission arrives

    CanadianAbroad replied to Skittles767's topic in General Students

    I honestly do not think you understand just how serious a Joint Commision visit is. Our unit is already under pressure for a pop up visit between now and March. Those visits can make or break your...

  15. HFCC Winter 2017

    CanadianAbroad replied to mervin17's topic in Michigan Nursing

    We saw them yesterday. The groups closer to finishing the program will test out of their classes. If they got an 850 or higher on their Hesi exams, I think they will get credit. They really are going...

  16. elimination of bed/chair alarms?

    CanadianAbroad replied to lauriannsmith's topic in General Nursing

    You should be doing hourly rounding even with the alarms in place. If you have a confused patient or someone who is likely to fall, an alarm or monitoring device is needed on top of the hourly...

  17. elimination of bed/chair alarms?

    CanadianAbroad replied to lauriannsmith's topic in General Nursing

    What are they going to replace the bed alarms with? I know at our hospital, they have the camera system that will tell the patient to go back to bed and then will alarm the RN and Tech of a potential...

  18. HFCC Winter 2017

    CanadianAbroad replied to mervin17's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You still didn't get it? I hate that waiting feeling! HFCC is having the ITT students come on Monday afternoon to test out and I think do a skills lab. OCC also is reaching out to try and help us. I...

  19. Graduating w/ only 1 pair of scrubs

    CanadianAbroad replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    If you like the Cherokee brand, you can find them on Ebay for cheap. I know my size and will order online with the exact size and style number I need. It saves me a ton of

  20. HFCC Winter 2017

    CanadianAbroad replied to mervin17's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I have the feeling they honestly do not know what to do at this point. It is going to be a giant *********** for everyone involved, from current to future

  21. HFCC Winter 2017

    CanadianAbroad replied to mervin17's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I was just starting and there were 30 of us. The section prior had at least 25 and it continues for a two year span. You are looking at at least 200 students who are trying to get into a school to...

  22. HFCC Winter 2017

    CanadianAbroad replied to mervin17's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I really hope not. I know there were some students who were literally weeks away from being done their entire program. I haven't heard of any other school at this time that is helping Canton students...

  23. HFCC Winter 2017

    CanadianAbroad replied to mervin17's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I think they knew the end of August this was going, but we weren't told until Sept 7th that they were closing for sure. Admissions have been emailing me back and forth regarding my application. My...

  24. Davenport university lpn program

    CanadianAbroad replied to Jamaal0829's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I applied and was accepted to the LPN program for Sept 2016, but I was an idiot and decided to go the Breckinridge route instead. Alas, Breckinridge closed and now I am back to deferring my seat at...

  25. HFCC Winter 2017

    CanadianAbroad replied to mervin17's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I took the HESI for Breckinridge already. I think they are going to put us in for Winter and then do any pre-reqs before we graduate. It really is a mess and this is awful to go through. I don't wish...
