Possible WCCCD Nursing Applicants

[ladylinton1]

I applied for Wayne County Community Nursing program 01/2011. I have yet to hear from the college if accepted or not . Has any WCCCD applicants heard back regarding their applications? Everytime I call the Nursing office they tell me letters have not been sent out yet. The stress from waiting is killing me slowly.

If you are referring to the NLNAC Accreditation, then you are correct. WCCCD lost theirs quite a few years ago (10+ I believ). However, they are still accredited through the state.

I was worried about this as well, but as I am entering my 3rd semester this fall I can tell you that I have met a ton of recent graduates that are quite successful in the field. At every clinical site I have been to there are WCCCD graduates employed, and I am talking about recent hires.

I have personally reached out to Madonna to see if they will accept a graduate from WCCCD to their RN-BSN program (because WCCCD lacks the NLNAC Accred) and their director emailed me back stating that "an RN is an RN and that as long as you graduate from a STATE accredited school that is all that matters."

I do know that w/out the NLNAC accred VA hospitals won't hire you, which is weird becase they allow WCCCD to do their clinicals there (???), so if you are interested in working VA then you may want to apply to a different school.

Good luck getting in the program!

With WCCCD losing their National accreditation does that limit me from practicing in states outside of MI?
