  1. ADN programs without waiting lists / 2 year BSN (non-accelerated) programs?

    greatlakes posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    Which ADN programs in MI have no waiting lists and take students who are transfers into the start of their nursing program (i.e. don't require that you took your prerequisites at their school)? Are...

  2. Ypsilanti neighborhoods

    greatlakes replied to OnlyByHisGrace's topic in Michigan Nursing

    there are only 2 areas of Ypsi I could recommend: the cluster of houses immediately south of EMU (one of these clusters is student housing, which you may want to avoid due to noise issues. The other...

  3. UNLV is doubling fees for their nursing progrm only!

    greatlakes replied to geocachingRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is very typical. Schools know they can jack tuition rates up for nursing because people will still pay them, hoping to have a "guaranteed job" once they

  4. What are the chances of new BSN graduates getting a job?

    greatlakes replied to veebeeG's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    That's what I thought 2 years ago...now I'm not sure even another 10 years will bring our unemployment rate down. There's no political will whatsoever to solve this situation, and there are massive...

  5. Financial Aid Problems

    I was just trying to

  6. Financial Aid Problems

    greatlakes replied to Emt05's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm fairly certain that they take into account every credit you've ever earned, not just the ones you've earned at one school. This is to prevent people from earning 150% of required credits at one...

  7. ADN or BSN?

    greatlakes replied to Kimberly6891's topic in Michigan Nursing

    What an obnoxious post -- and disingenuous, too. We all know that while an ADN is technically a two year degree, MOST schools require a year's worth of prerequisites before admitting you. All the...

  8. Financial Aid Problems

    greatlakes replied to Emt05's topic in Michigan Nursing

    It's really odd you got denied! You've only taken 32 credits? The rules are that once you've completed 150% of the credits that your program requires, you are no longer eligible for financial aid. In...

  9. Not sure about LPN vs. RN vs. BSN!

    greatlakes posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a college student and it took me awhile to decide on nursing...the thing is I'm a bit late to the major and it would take me 5 years to get a BSN (I'm completing prereqs in my sophomore year, and...

  10. Davenport University

    greatlakes replied to persephone162's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Can anyone tell me more about the accelerated program at DU? Do you have to complete all the "Foundations of Excellence" and "Foundations of Health Professions" by the time you apply to be accepted...

  11. Not sure about LPN vs. RN vs. BSN!

    greatlakes replied to greatlakes's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am young, single and childless, which is why I feel like life wouldn't derail my plans :) especially if I immediately went into an LPN-ADN bridge. Do Pell grants max out? Also, LPN and ADN...

  12. Any advice? Considering LPN as an alternative...

    greatlakes replied to artsygirlms's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you have a bachelor's degree already, you don't qualify for most financial aid for undergraduates, right? In that case direct entry MSN might actually be a better way to go, because you will have...

  13. ADN programs without waiting lists / 2 year BSN (non-accelerated) programs?

    greatlakes replied to greatlakes's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I emailed OU about their waiting list or lack thereof and got a form email back about how all prospective students must attend an information session. No answer to my question or not. I'm not...

  14. ADN programs without waiting lists / 2 year BSN (non-accelerated) programs?

    greatlakes replied to greatlakes's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Thank you very much, guys and gals :) I have been researching like crazy and I have a list of programs I want to apply to, so I am not trying to get allnurses to do my application homework for me, but...
