I am from Novi, Michigan. I am looking into RN (eventually to BSN) track programs offered at the colleges near me. I currently attend Oakland Community College, and have inquired about their offered nursing program. I am currently signed up for classes at OCC to qualify my admission for their program, but I am very behind as far as Biology courses which are required to apply to the program and I have to take a Bio 1511 per-requisite before I can even start the other bio classes required for application processing (I recently made up my mind to pursue nursing so I haven't taken any biology courses so far in college). Yesterday, I went to meet with an academic counselor at Schoolcraft College. Their program appears to have less requirements for admission, and their program even allows you to begin a few nursing classes before you become admitted into their program... The only downside is that I wouldn't be able to start up the actual program until fall of 2017., due to Schoolcraft's limited space and recruiting time. I was wondering if anyone had previous experience with either college and/or an ADDITIONAL colleges (such as Chamberlain or Madonna) with their nursing programs, and could advise me on choosing the right program to apply to...

Hi there! I live in livonia, mi and graduated the RN program from wcccd in 2011, just completed my BSN from EMU and reviewed acceptance into u of m-flint DNP program for this fall. Nursing is definitely a long but fulfilling journey, my advice to you is if you know you want your BSN than just go straight through. I've heard a lot of good stories and experiences from students at Madonna (I was accepted into their NP program as well), you have quite a few classes you'll still need to take though (to get into any nursing program).
Meant to say received acceptance, not reviewed
