first, i am sorry you have not been able to find a job yet. however, it took two months to hear back from my new facility on a na job, another two months to be hired, and i will not start until mid august, for a total of about 5 months. next, i will ...

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...

They have the classes up for fall (in Kris) if you guys are interested at looking at them. It appears that they are planning on adding around 16-32 extra students which would bring it up to 144-160 admissions. I have also heard that they are looking ...

Depending on your if you are a high GPA student you may get in this year. KCC has been planning an expansion for the last few years. It appears everything is in place and they should be adding about 40 spots. All 40 spots are point based, and are not...

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...

It's 5,000 per year 10,000 total.

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, ...

It generally takes 1-2 years to get in so if you apply this spring you may start in 2011, but most likely 2012.

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...

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...

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...

Look into getting your conviction expunged, especially if it was only one offense.

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...

I made it off of the wait list. I have two weeks to get everything done, but I should start in September :)

They will only pay for a program that can be completed in 2 years. Prereq's are not part of the program, so no they will not pay for those. They will pay for all general ed, and everything else once you are accepted into the program however.

At 159 you most likely will get in. I was at around 236 and I am now in the mid 30's. I still may start in the spring, but I am not sure anymore, I might switch back to entering the fulltime program in 2010.

Actually she may qualify under the unemployed clause. I did not see that part before. Here is the link to the website http://www.michigan.gov/nwlb/0,1607,7-242-47888---,00.html The $40,000 dollar limit only applies if you are employed. This is defini...

Do not mention any prior medical issues to any future employer. This is extremely stupid, as they will find a different reason to not hire you. Also they can only ask if you are able to do the job, and not about past medical issues. Just remember if ...

I wish. My program is first come first serve? They have minimum requirements and once met, you get in line. I understand that nursing is suppose to be compassion based, but I have been waiting over a year with a 3.96 GPA, and test scores that but me ...

As far as I knew displaced homemaker means you no longer have the support of the person that allowed you to be a homemaker. So if you still live with your husband and he is supporting you, you most likely are committing fraud. You should definitely c...

Thanks, I just ordered the omron sprague kit in black from Amazon based on this review. It was $35 dollars for the complete diagnostic kit including adult BP cuff, pen light, scissors, scope and a few extras. They are also running an extra $10 off wh...

I don't view this as unreasonable. For my job at my factory I had to endure a back screen that involved several rather difficult exercises. They then had you lift progressively heavier boxes. To pass this exam you had to at least lift 80lbs, although...

Ok just got my letter I did not get in for the fall of 2009. I did move up about 30 spots so I should start on the part-time program in Jan 2010. So that will be about a 1.5 year wait from my completion date. Side note KCC plans on expanding the Nurs...
