SC4 vs Macomb

[smn0408]

Has anyone done any research regarding the nursing programs between these two colleges? I live in St. Clair County but I am pondering going to Macomb even though it will cost more money and will be a farther drive. I have done a year of prerequisites at SC4 but still have a few left. I will be done after this next year and will be applying for the RN program this fall. I hear that Macomb just goes by your last 12 credit hours GPA regardless of what classes they are from. I also heard that while in the nursing program at Macomb that you are allowed to pass a class with a C rather than a B at SC4. I also heard that at SC4 that if you do get below a B that you are out of the nursing program and have to reapply the following year while at Macomb if you get below a C you can just retake the class and not be out of the nursing program. I don't want to sound like my grades are not important to me, they are! I don't plan getting below a B but I am 41 and do not really have time to wait around in case for some reason I really struggle with a class. Does anyone have any input? I am so confused with what to do????:bugeyes:

I only applied at SC4 (it is closer to where I live). I'm excited about our orientation next week. I just really want to find out my schedule so that I can begin planning for the fall. Have you heard anything about the scheduling? Do you know if we get to choose or do they just give us our schedule?

From what I heard they give us a premade schedule. If it's not what you want you can exchange it with another student but it still has to get approved by the instructor. I am looking forward to the orientation as well; perhaps we will find eachother there.
