Pre-nursing student...needs insight!!

Published

Hi all,

This is my first time posting, although I've been a member for a while.

I'm currently a pre-nursing student at HFCC. I originally was going for my ADN at HFCC but decided to go for my BSN (through a little research I think it'll be more beneficial for me). I plan on transferring to Wayne State. My question is, when I complete all my required prereqs at HFCC how long will the actual nursing program be at Wayne State?

Three years. You start as a sophomore.

I just started Wayne State and absolutely love it!! Because I already have a Biology degree, I am doing their accelerated CD2 program which will just take 16 months. I definitely suggest taking Pharmacology and Pathophysiology before the program. I didn't know they allowed it until after I started and people in my clinical weren't in class with me. It'll save you money (if you take it at HFCC) and give you a lighter load. Let me know if you have any questions about the process - I'm happy to help! :)

Hi AnnieMc...wow...I had no ideal that you could take Patho and Pharm prior to, and that WSU would accept another school's Patho and Pharm...and especially from a community college. This is great news! Did this just start this past year and is it still in effect.

I know your reply post is Sept '13 and my request post is Mar'14 but I hope you get this post, to help me with some questions.

I am waiting on Wayne State's 2014 2nd degree nursing program, and I just got accepted into Oakland University accelerated 2nd degree program, who has insisted that you must take their Patho, Pharm, and Informatic only at their school, or you will forfeit their program.

I would love to save the money and go to a community college, and that way if WSU calls me, I would have saved money and eliminated those classes. Or, should I just take them at OU lose $3000 in cost, but 'kill two birds with one stone' and have the options of having both choices of schools to pick from, because I would have complete both classes.

Back in Jan'14 I specifically called WSU and asked if I could do the vary same thing of taking those pacific classes some where else, and that person instructed me that I could not. Because WSU Patho and Pharm was a 'NUR' class for WSU an another school may not cover what they cover...and that I would need the syllabus from a 4yr college nursing program only to compare classes...Is that true or not???? Have their been changes...if so when...and who can I confirm it with.

Thanks AnnieMc for that great information...that is what we need, to stay informed. I hope you get this post.
