ReadyToNurse

It says that the semester you're placed in is random, but you can bypass the random process by selecting winter. So basically the same as last year. There's no date for orientation. It just says we'll receive more information about that in April.

Crossing my fingers and hoping for fall!

Just got home and found an acceptance letter in my mailbox!!! Congratulations everyone!!

Congratulations studentmom!! I'm stuck at work until 5, but I'll keep you guys posted.

No letter here in clarkston, but hey I did get my employee discount card from work... lol

Jolene my granny came down with Alzheimer's the last few years of her life and that's some of the reason I thought about it. I'd go and see her at the nursing home but when I'd be there I'd sit and talk to some of the other residents also. I was surprised at how some of them wouldn't get visitors.

Jolene no I haven't worked in ltc yet, but that's why I won't know for sure what I'm gonna do until I work in a few areas in clinicals. I know if I'm not constantly busy and occupied I start chomping at the bit. So it will need to be something where I'm not sitting idle for too long.

Jolene what your cousin is saying all seems to be very true when I go there. I'm not 100% sure what direction I want to go in right now cause I think I need to work in a few areas to know. I've thought about working with the elderly or critically ill even though it's an unpopular choice. I just feel that most of us will be there one day and this population really needs the help.

Anapanc very true, she wasn't tough out of meaness like some professors are. I took ramy in the fall to mix things up and they were both very good. Different teaching styles, but I felt that both prepared me for the program

Anapanc I took the accelerated ap 1 with dr aretha last summer. She was very nice and helpful, but tough and I felt lucky to get out alive. I had to study til I dropped to get a good grade in her class. Lol

Jolene I've had va healthcare at the ann arbor va for the last 10 years and I've noticed in the last few years most of the nurses there are foreign. And I'm usually very disappointed to see that being that it's supposed to be a last resort for them to hire foreigners. They're supposed to give preference to qualified veterans and then American citizens that aren't veterans second. So I don't know why I'm mostly only seeing foreign nurses when I go there lately. And it's the same thing in their pharmacy. All the new pharmacy technicians are foreign.

Thank you hailee22, I'm hoping to see at least one letter announcement on here today.

I have the day off from work tomorrow so at least I'll be home when the mail comes.

No letter yet.
