It costs a lot more $$ to go to a different college. There are a lot of colleges that prefer that you take the prereqs at their school, not at another school. Sometimes you get extra points toward...
Thanks for the guidance. It really does help. Would you recommend taking the sequence of A&P 1 and A&P 2? What about BIOL 236 where they combine both A&P classes? Is that not advisable?...
i agree, how many students are in the program for just the pay check or to change their career because they think it is recession proof? i want to work delivering babies, with children, or in the...
I'm interested in working at Labor & Delivery or something with children, do you have to work a while before you can pick a specialty? What should I do mean while waiting to become a nurse?...
I actually already talked to a counselor recently. She said all I needed was Anatomy & Physiology 1 and TEAS test to apply. The wait is 4 years though and they suggest trying to get on a...
i have a general associate's degree because i wasn't sure what i wanted to do. i've thought about nursing since entering college in 2007. the part that holds me back is the wait list and how difficult...
Looks like I need to become a patient care technician and volunteer, then get a 3.75 gpa or higher. Is there an admission's test? I can't do anything about not being a resident, I live in Oakland...
That is scary. They are really making it impossible now. What about Lansing Community College? (I know it is points system, how many points to get in?) I considered there, but now I am just admitted...
What type of entrance test is the "ATI Critical Thinking Entrance Test"? I've only heard of like HESI, TEAS, etc. How long does it take to get into? Do nursing graduates find jobs right away? I...
They go by points system, so how many points do you typically need to be admitted? I know it changes every year. I'm also not in the Lansing district. Do you have to take their classes too to get...
I'm 23 and I don't know what to do with my life. My parents have encouraged me to go to nursing school even though I don't really want to. I currently have an associate's degree in liberal arts, I...
1. What is the GPA required to get in? (I know it changes each year but, what was the required GPA for entrance last month? I seem to recall that it is pretty close to a 4.0 or straight A's.) 2. How...
you said that " [color=#333333]its not uncommon for me to hear "i wanna quit!!!" from someone at least once a week" so do you witness people that actually quit? the ones that probably quit were...
I can afford it, even a private university. I do prefer to do it as cheap as possible though, don't most people? I'm not sure if nursing is the right path for me. I love helping people, but not sure...
Thank you so much. You gave me exactly what I was looking for, what it is like in the program. Can you recommend any schools besides OCC? I was going to do schoolcraft, but the wait is very long (4 or...
" the gpa is getting so high that they are thinking of changing the requirements but the current standards still exist for the next incoming class of fall 2012." what is the rumored way they are are...
I've been thinking if nursing is right for me? I love to help people, but I'm really not a people person. I mean, I don't hate people but I'm an only child. I am quiet most of the time and some...
Should I even retake Intro to Sociology? I got a B in that class. For OCC, I need to take A&P. Does it matter if I transfer credit from Schoolcraft College to OCC for A&P? Then, retake...
Any other good places besides OCC? I like Schoolcraft a lot, but wait list is long. I understand that Wayne County Community College goes by the points system and it is better to take all the classes...
