Anyone In Henryford Hospital Nursing Program

Is there information online about this program? I am sorry I can't help you. I am just trying to explore options.

Thanks in advance.

Hi. I don't know anything about the program but I'm in it too I received my acceptance letter last week so hopefully I'll see you there. I'm excited I just hope I'll be able to survive the 16 month no break deal. I get really anxious for a break every semester after about 2-3 mos so I'm praying for endurance.

Hey ladies, give us some info on how to get into this program, where can we find information cause I haven't heard anybody speak of Henry Hospital program.

Thanks

I'm interested too! Do tell...

Well I'm not in the hospital program...but I am a winter accepted student so I go 16 months straight through as well. I can tell you that it is a bit stressful and I can see that after only 1 semester I am wishing that I'd get a summer break as well...but I also want to graduate quickly soooo of course I'm going to stick with it :-p Just decide if you can handle going straight through or if you need the break.

I do know a couple people who are going to do the Henry Ford Hospital program. As far as I know, you have to be an employee of Henry Ford Health Systems and agree to work for them, I believe, 3 years after you get your license. If I find out any more I'll let you all know and you do the same.

For those who are in the program or getting into the program can you tell the rest of us how you got in or what the procedure was or is it top secret?

Guess I'll take this one...

Here's the deal theres no particular way to "get in" as I too would've wondered . I was under the assumption that this program is offered to Henry Ford Health System employees only and typically it is. HOWEVER every now and then when they are trying to fill spots, they are not always able to fill ALL seats with just their employees.

This is when being on the HFCC waiting list pays off and trust me I knew nothing about this before. I was accepted into the winter 08 HFCC pgm {received letter in November 07} and I accepted but then I postponed at the last minute because of the 16 month deal, I preferred to do 2 years with spring and summers off. So, I got another invite for the HFCC Fall 08 pgm {rec'd 2nd letter in March 08} I accepted only because I was waiting to see if I'd get into Wayne States pgm and I wanted a fall back just in case.

Well I had my mind made up to go to WSU if I got in until I received a THIRD letter from HFCC about this HFCC/HFHS partnership program-- that is when HFHS has not filled all available slots by HFHS employees--they will extend an invitation to HFCC students on the waiting list or already on the roster to get into the next available pgm offered by HFCC {in my case Fall 08}.

When I went in for my interview I spoke with one of the pgm directors {because they literally gave us little to no info about the pgm except that it starts like next week and It will be paid for in lieu of a 3 year contract} so I asked a few questions and they basically told me they accept during most terms, Winter, Spring and Fall.

They have 60 slots available and during this term they had filled 50 by HFHS employees. They sent invitations to 39 HFCC "wait listers" and when I had gone in they'd interviewed 13. They stated they based their criteria on the individuals ability to handle the program {children, employment, GPA, all pre-reqs taken and Net Test passed}. So I don't know if this helps you I can only say I personally did not inquire for this program nor did I do anything extra to "get in" maybe others did this is just my 22 cents [cause its kinda long}:twoc ents::twoc ents:
