Riverview Institue Det,Mi. Roll call

Hpowell6387 · Dec 9, 2010

I very much would love to get accepted to this LPN program. I have been doing a lot of research and It sounds absolutly perfect for me. I have always wanted to be a nurse. I plan on going to the next information session which is January. It looks like the only thing missing is I never took my ACTs so as soon as I take care of that I plan on applying. Could you give me any tips on getting accepeted. I have medical exp., that is all I have ever done. I look foward to a response, thanks Tarena14 !!!

Hi, The best advise I can give you now is to take the ACT Test asap! I didnt have to because I have college credits. I believe its the best school around beside the cmty college and thats only because tuition is cheaper and they accept financial aid. I got such a wonderful feeling when i went to orientation! the director was so nice and patient with us regarding all the questions, i feel so blessed to have been accepted! because i was getting ready to go to Toledo I also was looking at occ but the wait list is a bit much! best wishes to you i hope this help, stay in touch with me and i will inform you more with my success!

Hi Anne and congratulations on your acceptance at occ, thats a good school i took 28 credits there a while back i was really considering the Lpn program there but the waitlist is long and they only accept once a year but i am considering the bridge program to rn once i complete the lpn at riverview.

The program length at riverview is 12-15 months depending if you have credits to transfer in. Good luck and stay intouch!

Okay, thanks Tarena. If I make it , I will probably do the bridge program with you. By the way, there is no wait list at OCC. I applied in Sept 1 of this year, found out in Oct and start in Jan.

Wow Anne thats awesome to know there is no waitlist, if i had known that i would have applied but i needed to take that math entrance exam and chemistry thats a blessing you got in so fast occ is a really good school with a great rep some of their courses and instructors can be challenging but you will make it just stay on your studying! but I'm happy about Riverview because their a divison of Oakland University which is a plus.
