@ jnf7882 , Thank you for responding to me! I was waiting to hear from someone for a while. I'm excited to have Austin for pharmacology then. One question for you, since Schoolcraft has that agreement with EMU and Madonna, did you then continue to get your BSN at one of those schools right after you passed your NCLEX?

SopranoKris, Thank you for your advice! That's what I wanted to hear about as well- how the classes are. I have the option of waiting until Winter of 2015 to take Fundamentals and Pharm together. The only catch to that is the actual program would not officially start until the Fall of 2016. So technically I would start a year from now. The three classes do not overlap each other anytime during the semester though. At any given time of the semester there's only two classes that will overlap which will are Fundamentals (during finals week), and Pharm (intro week). I'm really nervous as to which path to take.

Hello everyone. I just wanted to test the waters and see if I could get any feedback or reviews on Schoolcraft College's Nursing Program. All the posts related to Schoolcraft on this forum are a few years old now and I wanted to see if anyone is currently/has recently completed the program itself. Anyone giving me any kind of information is greatly appreciated. Thank you :)

Purple_roses - Thank you so much for helping me. I really appreciate it. One last question for you. My acceptance letter told us to be unemployed during the program if at all possible. The dean also asked me if I was working more than 20 hours. I work in the gift shop at the local hospital nearby and I love working there. I work alternate weekends, a total of 16 hours every weekend I work. It's nice to talk to the nurses and doctors there as I'm able to ask them about anything. I told the dean that I'm only working 16 hours and she told me to just try and juggle, but know what I have to do if things get too hard. What is your take on it?

Thank you Purple_roses! Yes Augurey definitely did. She was spot on with the list of things needed to be done before my deadline: The only thing that wasn't mentioned was "Acemapp", something on the computer that needs to be done before classes start. I have orientation to go to this coming Monday so I will be definitely asking a lot of questions about everything. The only thing is like I mentioned in my reply to Augurey, is that late admitted students have to take 1 more class on top of the standard schedule that everyone else who knew earlier has to take. I know it's hard to tell not knowing our exact curriculum, but is this a good idea to do? The first three classes consist of Nursing Informatics (1 credit), Fundamentals of Nursing (9 credits), and Pharmacology (3 credits). I'm not really sure if that is something to be concerned about or not. Is this do-able?

Augurey- Thank you so much for your help and support. It makes me feel better that you went through a similar situation. I'm more concerned about being a late admitted student because we have to take 1 more class on top of the standard schedule that everyone else who knew earlier has to take. I know it's hard to tell not knowing our exact curriculum, but is this a good idea to do? The first three classes consist of Nursing Informatics (1 credit), Fundamentals of Nursing (9 credits), and Pharmacology (3 credits).

Hello all, I just registered myself into this forum as it seemed like it had a lot of helpful people lending guidance to other nursing persona in different places in their careers. I attend a school that is waitlisted after you pass the entrance exam (TEAS V). I finished all my prerequisites, passed the TEAS, and had a pretty empty schedule for this upcoming Fall of 2015. The plan was that I was on board to start Nursing the Fall of 2016. A year wait, not bad. Summer is now ending and I get a call from the associate Dean of Nursing from my school and I'm informed that I got bumped up a year and offered me to start in less than 3 weeks. What?! There are things to be done that students that got accepted a few months ago have had weeks and weeks to do, and the Dean gave me and a few other students an extension to get everything done by the beginning of next month. I'm a little bit shaken and am seeking any help, advice, guidance, words of wisdom from anybody here. After passing the TEAS I was so excited to plan to be in this position in a year. I didn't think it would have came a year early. Have I made the right decision by jumping into it so suddenly?
