No they are not looking at patient care at all. You may want to get a job in patient care because I feel like it has helped me get familiar with people/medications/etc and other programs may keep it. For instance I know century still has it as a requirement. I'm not specifically sure about the English course. I think they were talking about general English 101. I would email the nursing department and get specifics, since they have still not posted any information about this up on the website....

Hey, I am currently on the waitlist at Inver hills. I will get in for Spring semester but I went to a meeting at Inver yesterday for people who are on the waitlist. Turns out they are completely changing the program requirements for admittance next year, and they are not giving people a lot of time to get ready for this big change.
Here are the new program requirements
Min 10 Credits at a MNTC school
GPA of 3.0 or
4 Credit Bio class in the past 5 years
Math 0940 W/ C or higher or Intermediate Algebra within past 2 years
College Level English within the last 5 years
A & P 1 with C or better in the past 5 years
Med Dosages Completed with C or better
NLN pre admission exam 110 or better score
They are completely getting rid of the patient care requirement! These are the things they will look at for admittance. I just wanted to throw this out there just in case someone may see it since they are not sure when they are getting the requirements posted on the website and I would have wanted to know ASAP.
