Davenport

Hi Dream2be, which campus do you take pre re'gs? how much for tuition? would you share with us some info about your school?

Thanks

Unfortunately it is very expensive, I believe 420.00 a credit hour, compared to HFCC which is like 130.00 a credit hour. It is more expensive because it is a private university, and is the only University in Michigan that offers the nursing program part time. It also accepts more ways of payment, financial aid, pell grants, tons of scholarships. It is geared toward the working person more so then high school graduates, and the instructors pretty much work a day job and teach in the evening so they understand the stress. I think the first nursing class will be graduating either in 2007 or 2008. They are extremely flexible with fitting the classes in with your work schedule.

Getting in the nursing program is based on many things, I know of one student that failed the HESI, but was still accepted because of her grades and essay. I am attending the main Dearborn campus, but they will be closing that one effective fall of 08 to build a state of the art campus with focus on the nursing program. The nursing advisors are fantastic and very motivational. Once you are accepted into the the program and start your clinicals, you can do those part time if need be. They understand that people just can't quit and go to school. It's a very mature atmosphere and the comadre is great. I have my A&P 1 and 2 left along with intermediate algebra, oh and professional ettiquete..if you have any other questions or want to email me directly for more information, just let me know.

Wow - $420/credit - that is really spendy. Who can afford that?

Glad you like the program, though, especially the instructors. Good luck!

I agree. I love my less than $70 per credit hour community college :nuke: !

Wow!!! $70 a credit hour?? May I ask where you attend? That is a huge difference....

Macomb Community College in Clinton Township. It's $68 per credit hour for county residents.

Earlier someone mentioned that Davenport is the only school that offers the RN program part time and I just wanted to add that Lansing Community College (LCC) offers a part time program. In-district tuition is about $70 per credit hour and even out-of-district tuition is only around $125 per credit hour.

I am a student at Davenport. I am taking pre-reqs for nursing. I am wondering how everyone likes Davenport's nursing program. A former student was telling me that Davenport's Dearborn campus is not accredited for nursing. I am wondering how Davenport's nursing program compares to WCCCD.

NOT ACCREDITED???? For $420/credit hour, you would hope they would be accredited down to the pencils they use. Who would go there if it was accredited and pay that price? That's a new kind of crazy.

I agree totally. I am going to do some investigation regarding this. The person that I talked to decided not to go into nursing because of this issue and instead is working towards a degree in healthcare administration. She also said that the Warren and I think Grand Rapids campus were the only schools that had accredidation for nursing. If there is anyone that attends Davenport please respond if you know this to be true.

Why wouldn't the whole nursing program be accredited, instead of different campuses being individually accredited? I know nothing about Davenport, so I should watch what comes out of my mouth trap about it. :trout:

And I'm still choking on the 420.

I know that 420 is a lot but actually it is 385 per credit. Not much difference when you look at it. I looked on the school's web page and it is accredited with the Michigan Board of Nursing. I don't know if the girl I talked to was referring to the National Board of Nursing. Maybe she misunderstood.
