   Talking with some of the teachers they try to keep the admission requirements to a level that will allow the widest range of entrants as possible. However, the drop/fail rate is higher than they would like for the new program. Some of this will get b...

   Yup, right now it is only for the competitive spots. Sorry if I wasn't clear on what I was saying. As far as them changing requirements; I believe they did that after the printing of the catalog back in 2007. However, those were major changes, and th...

   It may have to do with the program than. As most LPN programs take one year. So they may have only allowed one year of expenses. Here is the official fact sheet, if you do not believe me. http://www.michigan.gov/documents/nwlb/NWLB_Fact_Sheet_Final_2...

8. Work & Nursing School

   jm123 replied to Anxious2start's topic in Michigan

   Depends on the program and teachers. I worked full time for the first half of last semester, and had to cut back to part-time(24hr) for the second half when clinicals started. I would not plan on working more then 16-24hrs as everyone in my class tha...

   Take Pharmacology online at a different school if you can this summer or fall. KCC's class is good, but you will be swamped, and I wish I had known that other schools offered it online to non-nursing students (this for full-time more than part-time, ...

11. AP2 before AP1?

    jm123 replied to mmt4's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Not sure how your school is structured, but mine was anatomy and then physiology. If that is the same progression and you were good at chemistry, I would say go for it. While it does help if you do not have to memorize body parts, physiology is diffe...

    jm123 replied to O2BNRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Do you have an electronic registration system? If so, you could watch the system for the nursing classes, and see if there is an open spot. It might help pass the time, and also let you know if there is a straggler. My schools hard deadline was Monda...

13. The glass ceiling of Nursing School

    jm123 replied to PhoenixTech's topic in Criminal

    Yes, but it would show significant remorse, and would most likely get them into clinicals. However, it is expensive, does take time to get it done, but again it should get them through the standard background checks. I was not aware of the BON having...

    Thank you. I was number 37 on the wait list, so I did not expect to get in this year. Now that I am in, I still have to get my medical check, and CPR training done. So, I have those two things scheduled, registered for classes in the fall, my backgro...
