Re: Anyone have news of U of M RN-BSN-MSN revamp?
After you complete NUR 300 (Transition to Professional Nursing) they award you 34 NUR credits for your ADN classes so that takes care of a big chunk of that 45 credits required at UM-Flint.
You do not need micro, biochem or stats. There are actually no prereqs you have to take before you apply: you just need your RN license, a 2.75 gpa, a evaluation from your current supervisor or nursing faculty, and a background check to apply. These are the classes that they consider "pre-reqs" but many of them can be taken along with the actual BSN completion classes:
ENG 112 Critical Writing and Reading (3) Prerequisite to Semester 1
NUR 308 Research in Nursing (3) Pre or co requisite to Semester 1
NUR 202 Health Assessment (3) Pre or co requisite to Semester 1
NSC 168 Introduction to Bioethics (3) Pre or co requisite to Semester 2
PSY 313 Developmental Psychology (3) Pre or co requisite to Semester 2
NSC 207 Pathophysiology (3) Prerequisite to Semester 3
NSC 209 Nutrition (3) Prerequisite to Semester 3
NSC 233 Pharmacology (3) Prerequisite to Semester 3
These are the actual BSN classes: (plus you have to take 4 credits of nursing electives)
Sem. 1 NUR 300 (3) Transition to Professional Nursing Practice
Sem. 2 NUR 255 (2) Gerontological Nursing
NUR 369 (3) Transcultural Care
Sem. 3 NUR 410 (6) Community Health Nursing
NUR 407 (2) Nursing Issues and Trends
Sem. 4 NUR 430 (5) Leadership and Management in Nursing
NUR 421 (2) Synthesis of Knowledge for Professional Nursing
I only had a couple of the pre-reqs that I didn't have already finished, I just had to take health assessment (there is an option of testing out of this that they give you info about), research nursing, and pathophysiology. So I will be finishing in the 4 semester timeline they give plus I took classes this summer. I started in Fall 2008 so it will be about 2 years of just taking 2-3 classes at a time.
