  1. HFCC Winter 2017

    CanadianAbroad replied to mervin17's topic in Michigan Nursing

    ITT did have nursing. I am one of the students who were displaced. HFCC is taking them all in if they apply and transfer

  2. HFCC Winter 2017

    CanadianAbroad replied to mervin17's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I just saw this. Did you guys get your acceptance yet? I ask due to ITT closing and the college stating they are accepting ITT students immediately. I hope this doesn't affect your own acceptance, but...

  3. ITT Tech closing ALL schools nationwide

    CanadianAbroad replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    Followup for any Michigan students that were affected: Henry Ford Community college is going to go over the transcripts for ITT students and more than likely accept them for transfer into their RN...

  4. ITT Tech closing ALL schools nationwide

    CanadianAbroad replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    They had implied that the nursing school was on a different level than ITT. It was as if it was branching for a split. That is why I never even thought about possible problems. It never really...

  5. ITT Tech closing ALL schools nationwide

    CanadianAbroad replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    The credits are most certainly transferable, but the degree must be completed. Every single credit was accepted for degree completion at several schools in the Detroit area. I work with several people...

  6. ITT Tech closing ALL schools nationwide

    CanadianAbroad replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    I think each campus is different. I know the Canton campus had a high Nclex pass rate the first try. I also know coworkers who graduated from there and are doing the degree completion at another...

  7. ITT Tech closing ALL schools nationwide

    CanadianAbroad replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    I am going to speak on behalf of Breckinridge students. First and foremost, our program was not easy in any way to get into. The notion we were not competitive, is completely asinine and...

  8. Itt tech-Breckinridge possible shutdown

    CanadianAbroad replied to Momma2bubba's topic in School, College Programs

    Breckinridge students haven't received an email of the closure and their sites are still up for Breckinridge only. Very

  9. How low would you go?

    CanadianAbroad replied to Goldenfox's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Holy crap on a cracker that is low! Hell, I know Techs who are pulling in that here in MI!! Yes the Techs are doing OT, but still....Tell your friend to not even consider this

  10. Feeling so Bummed

    CanadianAbroad replied to nursingforme2's topic in General Students

    Oh for the love! Getting depressed and wanting to defer your schooling? Are you kidding me right now? There are students who you beat out to get that spot, and now you are throwing away this...

  11. Itt tech-Breckinridge possible shutdown

    CanadianAbroad replied to Momma2bubba's topic in School, College Programs

    I am beyond pissed at them. They had us come in for orientation on the 25th and then were hit with this on the 26th. I think I can get my loan dissolved, as I haven't even started classes. From what I...

  12. Itt tech-Breckinridge possible shutdown

    CanadianAbroad replied to Momma2bubba's topic in School, College Programs

    I called the school myself. They state that they have no idea what is going on, and that they think the Breckinridge campuses might be spared. This seems to be affecting the other programs with ITT...

  13. Itt tech-Breckinridge possible shutdown

    CanadianAbroad replied to Momma2bubba's topic in School, College Programs

    I don't think it is being shut down. I just started the program in Canton, and received an email stating that the government is forcing them to make changes to the program. It stated in the email that...

  14. End of shift report

    CanadianAbroad replied to Mo-SN's topic in General Nursing

    Depending on the facility, you can print off a rounds report. That sheet has the pertinent info that you will need to make it through your shift, and giving report. You can write on it as you go...

  15. New Nurse Exhausted from Extremely Long Shifts? Help?

    CanadianAbroad replied to KellySpencer800's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I honestly think this OP is not telling the truth here. Coming into work at 5 and leaving at midnight a couple of days in a row, would mean that the OP had a max of three hours of sleep. If you...

  16. New grad, do not feel challenged at all. Help?

    CanadianAbroad replied to RNinCali15's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The ego coming from the OP is absurd. You are only 9 months into your position, and you are acting as if you know it all. Obviously you do not, as you have not had higher acuity patients. If you act...

  17. Do women find male nurses attractive?

    CanadianAbroad replied to Sykadia's topic in Men in Nursing

    I work with four male nurses and have two male family members that are nurses. ALL are heterosexual. This post has to be one of the most absurd posts on here. Stop projecting your insecurities and...

  18. So you're just a nurse?

    CanadianAbroad replied to l1234567's topic in General Nursing

    I have never encountered your problems. When I talk about work or my past work history, I see a sense of excitement and respect from almost anyone I talk to...including doctors. Are you sure that this...

  19. Everyone wants me to take Nursing?

    CanadianAbroad replied to PoppyLizz's topic in General Nursing

    The wages sound about right. An RPN would make about $23 per hour, depending on location and if they are private. I worked as an RPN in Ontario for years, and I can assure you the wages are correct. I...

  20. Career going and confused

    CanadianAbroad replied to PsychNurse6083's topic in Canada

    You need a reality check here. I worked as a nurse in Canada, and work as a Tech in the US while I finish my RN here. New grads do NOT get day shifts off the bat. You need to pay your dues to get...

  21. I'm in tears--to accept or decline?

    CanadianAbroad replied to esrun77's topic in General Nursing

    She indicated she asked about internships, which then she was offered this. Stop playing semantics here. This more than qualifies as an

  22. I'm in tears--to accept or decline?

    CanadianAbroad replied to esrun77's topic in General Nursing

    I think some of you are misguided on what an internship is, and what might be included in an internship. I have a friend who just completed her MSW. She spent an entire year with an internship...

  23. Has pain scale contributed to opiate problem?

    CanadianAbroad replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    No, this answer is real life. If empathy and understanding of why people are pain seeking and what to do with them is lost, get out of front line nursing. Had my answer included how the hell to...

  24. Some days.......

    CanadianAbroad replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    I can be the Queen of snark, and I can't understand how a simple basic answer could be misconstrued as snarky. If this is based on previous posts, perhaps one needs to step away from the keyboard and...

  25. Treat the Patient, not the Monitor.....Really?

    CanadianAbroad replied to jk2185's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience, 8/10 the monitors are going off due to lead placement errors or patients pulling the leads off completely. There was a patient that had just come to our unit that just didn't "look...
