Schoolcraft Nursing Program

Published

Does anyone know anything about the schoolcraft college nursing program by chance? I was told that there is a 2 yr waiting list but how do they go by picking who gets in or not? Is it based primarily on GPA and completion of pre-reqs?

I have heard the same camjones. I am meeting with an advisor next week. I am very interested in the program and I know I'm going to have a wait, I just hope, it's not as long as they say. I still have some pre-reqs to fill anyway so that comes to a question I'm considering: Has anyone taken the A&P class condensed in the summer? I don't know if it would be advantagous for me to do this since it will be the last prereq I will need to get on the list (and taking the NET or TEAS, not sure how the transition will be). I do work full time and I really want to do well in the class. I'd just like to know of anyone that did take the condensed version and can tell me just how hard it was!

Thanks,

Christina

Christina, I totally agree that i hope it does not take that long to get into the program. I hope there is not that big of a difference in the NET and TEAS. I paid for the NET study guide and would hate to have to buy another guide. And if you find what about the condensed A&P class, can you let me know please? : )

Hi,

I applied to the nursing program at Schoolcraft last May (08). I received my acceptance letter which says welcome to the class of 2010 and you are an alternate for 2009. Obviously I am hoping to be moved up to this fall. They are now taking 120 instead of 90 students each fall but many lpn students moved over to the program this year.

The test is the Teas now at Schoolcraft. They have also switched to a ladder curriculum and it's all on the website.

I know of several people that have graduated from the Schoolcraft program and thought they received a very good education.

Good luck to you!

Are you talking about bio 237 in 7 weeks? I know people who have done it, but it is really fast paced. There is a lot of memorization in that class anyway (bones, muscles), so you would have to be very quick to memorize in a short amount of time. I don't know if you would be able to work full time with that kind of work load and get a decent grade. I loved the instructor I had for 237 and 238, and I think he does teach it in the spring. Maybe you could try it and drop it if it gets to be too much - you would save your GPA but you would lose your money.

Good luck, anyway.

Yeah the nursing program has changed. You all will need to look online because there are new pre-reqs. The LPN program is no longer running by itself either. If you were on the waiting list for LPN 2009, you should have received a letter months back.

Help! OK I just transferred to Schoolcraft college and because my A&P classes are over 5 yrs old I have to take the refresher course and if I pass then I will not have to take them over. Question I have is when can I take the TEAS test? Any info would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks, sometimes I feel like I am walking around in the dark!!

Hi there,

If you go to Schoolcraft's website, you can find the info you ned regarding the TEAS test. It will list the dates and you can print out an application you will need to mail in along with a check.

They used to offer it once a month but I believe they've changed that and are now offering it less frequently. The bookstore has a great review book to study for it.

Best of luck to you!

I'm also a transfer from UDM so I know exactly how you feel about feeling like you're walking around in the dark. You can take the TEAS on June 5th, July 31st, Sept 18th, oct 16th and Nov 6th of 2009. But I would sugguest that you pick up the study guide from the school bookstore (its $44.95) or at www.atitesting.com. I am in the process of purchasing the study guide and preparing for the test. There is math, english, reading comprehension and science (someone please correct me if I'm wrong). The minimal scores are: Reading Comprehension 60% or greater and Composite 70% or greater.

Hope this helps : ) Good Luck and God Bless!!!

Hi! No I have not taken the TEAS exam yet? I just registered to take it in June 4, 2010. Super long time right? LOL But I just purchased the study guide a couple of weeks ago and I want to make sure I have enough time to study a lot for this exam. Plus math is not my friend all the time so I want to take my math course first before I take the exam. Yes you do have to take the TEAS before you apply. As far as tips...since your taking the test in November studying as much as you can now with the study guide over and over again because November will be here before you know it. Here's some test info just in case you didnt know:

Reading Section=40 questions=50 mins

Math section=45 questions=56mins

Science section=30 questions=38mins

English/language usage=55 questions=65 mins

Let me know if you need any more info. Good Luck!!! :up:
