Hi,

Has anyone attended NMU's nursing program or is anyone currently in it?

I'm trying to get in and am wondering what it's like...

i am from a town close to marquette. i have talked with a few advisors before i got accepted into msu and uofm’s programs.

as far as the u.p goes it is a pretty good place to go because of the hospital right there compared to other schools. however, my cousin is in her third year of the program right now and she is not 100% happy. she feels a little like she is not learning everything she could be someplace else. she does not feel all of her professors are teaching her what she needs to know.

if you are really interested in knowing more about the program private message me and i can give you her e-mail so you can ask her some questions.

I have had a lot of friends go through the program and most were pleased with it. The only complaint I've heard, is that they wish there were more clinicals.

Hi HyperSaurus,

Did you start at NMU? If so, how are you liking the program? I have a few questions - if you are there maybe I could pm you?

Thank you

Sure, go ahead. I'm currently in my first semester of the BSN program here.

Actually, they've added more clinicals now.

How hard is it to actually get onto the program at NMU. I will have my bachelors in may from Michigan State and I want to go on to get a nursing degree immediately after. So Im starting my application process now

It depends. NMU has less pre-reqs than MSU.

Anatomy, Physiology, Intro to Orgo Chem (one semester course), Soc 100, Psych 100, Med Microbiology (no lab), and Nutrition for Health Professionals.

I was provisionally accepted w/a 3.28 GPA, but my GPA at the end of that same semester jumped to a 3.78 GPA. However, I know of some people who have been wait-listed with a 3.2. The average GPA is usually a 3.5 or higher.

But then again, it's not that hard to get a 3.5 or higher.

Comparitvely, it isn't that hard to get into.
