I posted this on the Michigan forum but wanted some other opinions. I have been sloughing away at my pre-req's at Delta College. I had some family issues come up this past semester and probably should have dropped out but felt that I should set a good example for my son and keep pushing through. I was taking Intro to Nursing (got a B+) and Micro. I worked my bottom off and ended up with a C-. I needed a C. I did at least 10-20 hours of homework a week. When I emailed the Prof - as she had not sent my grading paper - as to how she came to my grade I told her I was probably going to quit school now. At 48 and stuggling with finances I could not go through driving 40 mins. one way 2x a week again. She was sympathetic but wouldn't budge. However - then she told me to take the class again, maybe try another instructor, not to give up, yada,yada, yada and that HALF THE CLASS WAS RETAKING IT and I SHOULDN'T FEEL BAD! I also took A & P (excellerated) and got a B and C, English Comp I and II and got an A and a B+, Math for meds/C+ (I could have applied myself better on that one), and a Computer class. Oh and Intro to Government - B. So now I am out for now and feel like I have wasted a year. Maybe someone could enlighten me but if I were a teacher of anything and half my class failed and had to retake I don't think I would feel too good about my teaching ability . . . .

Can a registered EMT or Paramedic challenge the Michigan RN exam if they have all the correct prereq's? A girl in one of my classes is one or either of these and is finishing up her prereq's this semester and said she is going to challenge the R.N. exam and if she passes she will be a R.N by June. Is she for real, dreaming or basically full of it???

There are places that offer A & P I and II and Micro. edukan is one The question is will the school that you are doing pre-req's at accept on line lab work. Delta says yes. Are you going to MCC for nursing or transfering? How long is the wait. It is 1.5 to 2 years at Delta.

MIKelly and Nursing 21 - did you take these classes on line through the college your are currently enrolled in or did you take these classes on line somewhere else - out of state possibly. Thanks
