Anyone applying to University of Michigan Second Career Program

UMichSCN07 · Dec 23, 2008

I know you're looking for guys who are applying... I graduated from the program in 2007, one of 5 guys in a class of about 45. I loved every second, although there are parts of the third semester, when you're doing Community Health Nursing and Mental Health Nursing that drag a bit. If you still have time and haven't already, try to get a part-time job in something health care-ish. Phlebotomist, EMT, patient care tech... something that requires you to actually touch patients when you interact with them. It makes your clinicals and your assessment class that much easier. Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions you want answered.

Hi, it dosent seem like this thread is active anymore. But I also applied, just a few weeks ago. I mailed in my transcripts last week.

Let me know if there are any other active threads on this! Much appreciated :-)

Hey Mike,

Thank you for the reply. Didn't see it until today. I found out that I got in about a week ago! Like you said I should try to get a part-time job or something. I am a Med-Tech, so i do work in the hospital, but I have no patient contact. What could I do that would allow me to do something in patient care before september? I do volunteer, but its not the same. Any other suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Good luck with your job and the one year old.

hello, i know you posted this post awhile back but i really really need your help. please rely. i was hoping to find out if you have the program catalog/course equivalent for the year you grauated or may be a newer version of it. i took a class at the l(hfcc) college which uofm nursing department said was ok but now they changed the transfer credit policy and the only way i can get them to look at me case is if i get the old course equalicy showing that it was there.
