Accelerated ADN Programs in MI


Hey everyone!

Im looking for accelerated ADN programs in MI. The only one I could find was the one at Lansing Community College. If you know of any could you please let me know. Or even if you know of any in the surrounding states please let me know. I will have my BS in health studies in may but I want to start nursing school right after for the fall semester. I have 2 kids, so I dont have any time to waste, I need to gt this started and finished asap. I want to start applying to as many as I can to know whether or not I got accepted before I actually graduate. If I dont get into any then I guess I'll be heading to Chamberlain in OH even if it means paying $550 a credit hour
Thanks!

The U of M has an accelerated BSN program (12 months) you have to have a BSN in something else already to qualify.

I know U of M does but the university is hard enough in itself to get into so I wouldnt hold my breath at getting into their nursing school. My gpa is only 3.3 which isnt bad but it has to be WAY better to get into U of M

I think LCC is one of the only, if not the only, accelerated ADN program in Michigan. It is a pretty competitive program and admission is based on a point scale. You get so many points for gpa, resident of LCC district, work experience, etc. I think there are 75 points possible and the class that was just admitted you needed a minimum of 52 points to make the cut. I am pretty sure they admit 30 students to that track.

Oakland University has one as well (BSN)--tough to get into and must have a Bachelors in something already. Oakland Community College has one (like previous poster said), but you apply to the regular track, and if you get in to that, they take 60-some students to be in the 'accelerated' - actually only accelerated for the last 3 classes of the program. I'm really hoping to get into it when I apply for 2011! However, double check with them as I hear they aren't sure how long it will be available. Good luck to you!

I am a nursing student at St. Clair Community College in Port Huron and they have a two year program for ADN. Based on points and they admit 100 students each year into their program. Hope this helps, let me know if you need further info.

I actually have heard the the U of M accelerated program is not that hard to get into. I would try applying, you may be surprised. Try MSU's too. if you're going to pay 550/credit hour for an ADN the least you can do is try applying for BSN programs. Especially now that even nursing jobs are so hard to get.
