  1. BS holder - ADN or Second Degree Program - Please help!

    SmilingRN replied to kalin's topic in General Nursing

    I read your question and felt compelled to reply. Firstly, because I am in a similar situation sans kids. And, secondly, because I had to make this difficult decision within the last month. I, too,...

    SmilingRN replied to Chef.Jackie's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I got my acceptance later today at my mom's residence. It was postdated for yesterday. Unfortunately, I have already registered for 2 classes at OU which start tomorrow. I'm just going to wait and see...

  3. Oakland University 2nd Degree GPA

    SmilingRN replied to cderitz's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Yes, I just found that out within the last month when I spoke to someone in the nursing advising office. The entire time that I had been reading "Riverside Institute" on my paperwork, I never looked...

  4. Oakland University 2nd Degree GPA

    SmilingRN replied to cderitz's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Whoa! Yeah...that's definitely a no-brainer. I thought that you meant that someone told you that OU's campus would take place in Rochester, MI. If so, I was in the same boat...thinking that courses...

  5. Oakland University 2nd Degree GPA

    SmilingRN replied to cderitz's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Of course this program is going to be intense! That's part of the excitement...anything worth having is worth working hard for. I start the program in January, but why do you say that Oakland is...

  6. Oakland University 2nd Degree GPA

    SmilingRN replied to cderitz's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I had a 4.0 science G.P.A. for all of my courses. I wasn't asked about any volunteer experience in my application process. Maybe, it's because I applied for the accelerated program. I feel as if I...

  7. Oakland University 2nd Degree GPA

    SmilingRN replied to cderitz's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Also, my sister has been a nurse for almost 10 years and she hates to hear pre-nursing students (including myself) speak of higher education in nursing. She says, "Registered nursing is hard work and...

  8. Oakland University 2nd Degree GPA

    SmilingRN replied to cderitz's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I know you asked @Murphyle for help, but I recently had an interview at OU and got accepted this past Saturday! So far, I'm 2 for 3 in terms of nursing school admissions. At any rate, enough of that...

    SmilingRN replied to creativetype2007's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I've also heard similar rumors about the low NCLEX passing rates in the past. However, I have an extremely reliable source who states that the new graduate-level students are feverishly helping to...

  10. WCCCD Spring 2012 Hopefuls

    SmilingRN replied to Chef.Jackie's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I see the coding on my transcript/registration info as well. I also applied on June 15, 2011. I believe it's an indication that our apps were received. When I visited the office, I was advised that my...

    SmilingRN replied to creativetype2007's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I originally applied for the May 2011 starting term. However, I was pushed to the January 2012 term which had a deadline of May 7 or 9, 2011. I had all of my classes and app materials completed and...

    SmilingRN replied to aarin80's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Congrats @grudgrime and @xtinaWSU! I hope that you two have a great journey together. The students that I have spoken with seemed so knowledgeable and tight-knit like a close family. I'm really happy...

  13. Wayne State University, DET Waiting for Response

    SmilingRN replied to aarin80's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I just checked the website because I couldn't resist the temptation. To my disappointment, it said "Deny" in bright red letters. I was a bit down at first, but at least I'm in somewhere and an...

    SmilingRN replied to aarin80's topic in Michigan Nursing

    No, my interview was in early May. I guess you could say that everyone's plight to nursing school is looking familiar.

  15. Wayne State University, DET Waiting for Response

    SmilingRN replied to aarin80's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Congrats! I went to UM for undegrad. You'll love the scenery, if you opt to go there. I stopped working in order to commit myself to school full-time, so I'm always at a computer. *sigh* However, I'm...

    Hi there, I also just got accepted into UDM's Second Degree program this past Friday for the January 2012 term. I'm super excited, but I'm also still waiting to hear back from a few other less...

    SmilingRN replied to aarin80's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi, I'm impatiently waiting for the decision announcement (which is supposedly taking place today) also. From what I've read/heard, the status field that currently reads "Interview #" will update to...
