What is MCC's Nursing Program really like?

Published

Hello everyone!

I just found this site and have read some great posts, but I'm not finding what I'm looking for so I thought I would start my own post.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will get the acceptance letter in a few months to Macomb's Nursing program. I have heard awful stories about the amount of work that is recommended for the course. Some stories have been about the amount of stress leading to divorce, don't even think about having a job while taking the classes, and forget about seeing family or friends for the 18 months of school. I haven't heard anything from an actual nursing student though. Everything I've heard is from someone in a pre-req that has a friend who said something. I would really like to know what to expect from someone who is actually in, or has already completed, the course. He said, she said, doesn't get the story right most of the time. No matter what you say it won't change my mind about the profession that I want to be part of. I'm just curious.

Thanks for giving me some preparation material.

I havent used the mosbys dictionary between the internet & pda, dont need. The journey..., scopes & stand, Apa. Dont know if they were required or recommended. Maybe use once further along

Yeah those were all just recommended not required. I have the Mosby's dictionary and use it a lot.

Wow, I didn't even think about all of those costs. Oh well, I guess we just have to accept it. I already have the Mosby's dictionary from a terminology class that I took. Thank you all for easing my nerves about the course. I have to kids and am already sacrificing field trips and "green eggs and ham day" because of the pre-reqs. Now I just need that letter!
