    I don't live there currently but I am from Cass County. I am going to nursing school in Lansing and will be done May 08. I am hoping to move back to the Kalamazoo area when I am done. Congrats on...

  2. Can you register for both LPN and RN exams at the same time?

    AnnaN5 replied to Nuieve's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Why would you want to take both right after eachother? Doesn't the RN licensure supercede the LPN licensure so if you pass the NCLEX-RN there would be no point in taking the

  3. Take at least 6 units and never repay loans?

    AnnaN5 replied to gordonarkell's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Whenever you return back to school at least 1/2 time federal loans are put back into deferment, meaning you do not have to make payments. The unsubsidized loans would be collecting interest but you...

  5. Davenport

    AnnaN5 replied to dream2be's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Earlier someone mentioned that Davenport is the only school that offers the RN program part time and I just wanted to add that Lansing Community College (LCC) offers a part time program. In-district...

    AnnaN5 replied to kellia's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The point system at LCC is based on a few different areas such as residency, gpa, # of credits taken, any prior degrees, and healthcare experience. The max number of points you can get is either 90...

  7. RN student - can I challenge the LVN/LPN NCLEX?

    AnnaN5 replied to Jusrovin's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Our RN program is 4 semesters and set up so after the 2nd semester you can take the LPN boards. Some schools have it set up that way and others don't so you really have to check with your school and...

  8. Two year RN degree online?

    AnnaN5 replied to bacardi 151's topic in General Nursing

    This has been asked quite a few times on here and unless you are already an LPN, EMT, etc I don't think anyone offers a completely online program. Nursing school requires a lot of hands-on experience...

  9. Lansing Community College questions

    AnnaN5 replied to JenW's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I believe they said the cut off was around 75 points. They did revamp the points scale though and you no longer get extra points for have a bachelors or higher. Besides that I am not sure what else...

    AnnaN5 replied to Spartan05's topic in Michigan Nursing

  13. Nursing school schools with short waiting lists

    AnnaN5 replied to bj2006's topic in General Students

    MSU does not use a waiting list. The evaluate everyone who has met the minimum requirements then people who have the highest gpa, interview well, and score well in the other areas get in. If you do...

  14. Program Length and Value-Added Material

    AnnaN5 replied to kenny b's topic in General Nursing

    I would look into the NCLEX pass rates for both programs and the amount of clinical hours you will go through. The accelerated BSN program will be much more compressed because they also cover more...

  15. Accelerated Nursing Program- to RN

    AnnaN5 replied to linzyann's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you mean a MSN? The MSU program awards you with a BSN after the 12 month program. I have my BS (non-nursing) from MSU and unfortunately not have heard very positive things about their nursing...

  16. What do you all think of hybrid nursing courses?

    AnnaN5 replied to L&D_2b's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have any experience with hybrid nursing courses yet but I have taken quite a few pre-reqs online. I really like online classes because it seems more flexible and you can do your classwork...

  18. MRSA colonization question

    AnnaN5 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I had a MRSA skin infection ~2 years ago that cleared up in about 1 week and has not been a problem since. Ever since then I have been tagged by my pcp's office as a MRSA patient and they have to...

  19. Anyone quitting

    AnnaN5 replied to weytn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought that I would be able to keep my 2nd shift lab job while going to nursing school but I just switched to a seat in the accelerated ADN program instead of the normal ADN program. So now that...

  20. My 3 year old has MRSA!

    AnnaN5 replied to Anagray's topic in General Nursing

    I had a MRSA infection almost 2 years ago and to this day I am still not sure how I managed to get it. I work in a lab and one night I put my lab coat on and felt something scratch my arm so I took...

  21. Accelerated Nursing

    AnnaN5 replied to Cuckoo's topic in Michigan Nursing

    They use clinical sites all over so unfortunately some of them require some driving. One girl I know had to drive 140 miles round trip 3 days a week to her clinical site for a

  23. Any Lansing Community College students?

    AnnaN5 replied to AnnaN5's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I had all of the pre-req, co-req classes done when I applied this time. This time around I believe I had in the area of 80 out of the 90 points possible. Last year when I was an alternate I did not...

  24. R.N. to P.A.??

    AnnaN5 replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing
