Hi, this is my first time posting, and wanted to see if anyone is attending Davenport University? I have 3 more pre req's, then take the HESI in January....I love it!

Specializes in OR Peri Operative.

Has anyone ever transferred to Daven Port from another college or university?? I'm thinking of doing this, but I wanted to know first if anyone else had done this and what where the pros and cons of doing so?

Thanks

Most libraries will have a copy of the HESI study guide, at least the Macomb County Public Library system does, as well as a reference copy at MCC's Center Campus Library.

Tips for studying for the HESI entrance exam:

-Know your household measures (ml to tsp, oz to cups, oz to lb ect)

-Know ratios

-Know metric conversions (kg to g, g to mg)

-Be prepared to read article-type passages and answer questions pertaining to the readings.

-Find out if your school tests on the Chem, Bio, and AP sections of the HESI! MCC does not test on these sections, so don't waste your time studying for them if you don't have to!

-Relax! I was so worried about how hard the HESI would be, and ended up finding it wasn't that bad...I managed to get a 96!

a school can recieve approval from the michigan bon, although approval and accredidation are not the same. Once approved by the bon the school then has a limited amt of time to "prove" success of the program to gain accredidation. Baker college of flint just recently gained accredidation for their nursing program, which has been implemented since around 2003.

sorry for the out of order post, somehow I was put here instead of where I was posting too.

Hello,

Kellogg Community College in Battle Creek offers a part time ADN program. I just graduated May 10th and took my NCLEX today. I am out of district and paid $105.50 a credit hour. I think more schools are doing the part time thing. I live 3 miles from Glen Oaks comm college but went to KCC 'cause of the part time thing.

I am going to Davenport now for my pre-reqs and yes their entire program is accredited. It is listed on their website.

Does anyone have tips/advice on how to get in to Davenport's nursing program?

If you got in, what was your GPA and HESI? What are they looking for on the entrance essay?

Thanks!

I got accepted to the midland campus this fall. I had a 4.0 and scored 93 on the hesi. I would say get excellent references and write a killer essay to get in. hope this helps and good luck

Davenport has it's NLN accrediation. You can go part time in a way. So far the max I have gone each week is 3 days and they have morning classes and evening (starting at 3 pm or later).

I graduated this year with my ADN from the Midland campus and they are NLN accredited. This happened within the last year. The instructors are wonderful at that campus. I am wishing you all luck.

Nantucket,

I currently attend the Warren campus and I'm in the LPN program, bridging to RN. I am really struggling. Everyone tells me it's like this at first, but I am getting discouraged. I don't know how to live the next two years of my life with that horrible feeling in my stomach. I was a 4.0, have no idea what I'm at currently. Struggling with Pharmacology big time

You should be very proud of what you have accomplished! Any tips or advice on keeping sanity is welcomed. If you want to, you can private message me.

Again, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!:nurse::yeah:
