Hello! I'm a high school senior from Michigan and I'm having a really hard time choosing which college to go to for nursing. So I was hoping to gain some insights from the allnurses.com community. I've been accepted into the following colleges: Michigan State University Oakland University University of Michigan-Flint Wayne State University of Detroit Mercy My top choice is attending Michigan State University, however I'm scared about what will happen if I don't get into their nursing school. Their website says that competition is fierce and they've even started an application for qualified high school seniors to be guaranteed admission into the school of nursing if they keep up their academic standards. I'm not even close to being qualified for this program and it makes me nervous about my chances of getting into their nursing school. But I really want to go to MSU because I love everything about it. On the other hand, I was accepted to the University of Detroit Mercy school of nursing which has a direct nursing program. However, the college is in a shady part of Detroit and has a lower NCLEX pass rate than Michigan State. Although, the NCLEX pass rate is still above the national average. If I were to go UDM then I wouldn't have to worry about getting into nursing school. Another option I was thinking about was going to MSU and doing my pre-nursing there, then applying to their school of nursing as well as U of M Flint's, OU's and Wayne State's nursing programs. So if I didn't get into MSU's nursing school I could just transfer to another college. Is this a viable option? Since MSU has pre-nursing for two years and the previously mentioned colleges have only one year of pre-nursing would it still be possible to transfer to one of the other colleges? Any advice you have to offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you sooo much more your time and I'm sorry this post is so long!
