    Spring '13 & Summer '13 Class load

    SopranoKris replied to pda1984's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    4 classes in one semester is not that bad. How many credits is that? 12? 14? It's definitely do-able! I just took 17 credits this semester and I would NEVER recommend taking that many unless...

    Mid-Michigan Community College ADN v. Second Degree BSN? Relative Merits?

    SopranoKris replied to FormerLawyer's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I believe Grand Valley has a BSN option for 2nd Degree students. If you just can't afford to do the courses there, then why not complete the ADN and then do an RN-to-BSN bridge with another school,...
