Thanks for your reply :) I was still online Do you mean, apply for different programs within the school, say Surgical Tech or Nursing Assistant, or . . not sure what else they have there . . . Or trying to get on the list at another school?

Hi :) I have been out of college 10 years, and after applying and acceptance to HFCC in Dearborn a year ago, I started taking classes this winter 2010 semester. I am trying to get what I need done to get on the waitlist for the Nursing program, but it looks like it may take a while, at least 2 more semesters after this one (so winter 2011) before I can take the test and get on the waitlist, which I hear is 12-18 months at least. Does this mean I am going to have to spread my classes out over 5 years? Should I try and find a different school? Are there any I could get into with being out of college so long, and not having a good gpa from the past anyway . . . is there another program I should start in the meantime that would be beneficial?

So . . . I have started attending HFCC, it has been 10 years since I was in college. Do I have to complete my 12+ credits at 2.7 or higher, and take some required courses BEFORE I apply to the waitlist for the Nursing Program? I registered a little late this semester and only managed to get half-time worth of credits (luckily classes that are needed) so it will be end of spring before I have the 12 credits . . . I know I do need to see a counselor there but they are gone by the time I get there for classes. I am very nervous about getting what I need done ASAP so as to not make the program take longer than necessary to complete.
