I have been researching more about going to school for nursing and was pretty set on trying to go to MATC since I had gone there before for a different degree. I took many of the General courses already so I only need to take science and biology classes. I am a little put off by the petition process of MATC, the fact that I could complete all of the General courses and get all my shots then get turned down for whatever reason and have to wait until next semester to try and get in again, and maybe get turned down again. Has anyone petitioned lately and been denied? I've been looking at other schools and it doesn't look like Bryant & Stratton has a petition process, I may be wrong but I didn't see any mention of it. Has anyone gone to Bryant & Stratton? Is it likely that credits would transfer if I decided to go for a Bachelors? I'd appreciate any input, I work full time and have been trying to get the ball rolling so I'm trying to make a decision because I will have to quit my full time job.

Well I contacted the person at MATC and she said it wouldn't effect anything at all, neither petition or clinicals or anyhting so that's a big relief.

I went to the downtown campus and spoke with a counselor about it and he said he didn't know but actually said I contact ***** as well so I will give her a call. After doing more research I am more worried about completing school and attempting to get my license. Everywhere I read its always a different story from state to state. I just wish I knew specifically of someone in wisconsin who had a dui and attempted to get their license after completing nursing school. I will give **** a call though and see what she says.

Hello! I've recently been able to go back to school and I have always wanted to go for nursing but the opportunity has finally come that I can. I've been doing some research hoping to petition to start at MATC at the beginning of January of 2013. I notice that they do a background check. I got a dui in 2011 but that's the only thing that would be on my record, it doesn't even show up on the wisconsin circuit court site. Has anyone else been admitted through the petition process with a dui? I'm just really hoping that it doesn't affect anything because I'd really like to do this. I dont want to start the entire process only to find out I'm denied because of this.
