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 :)

I graduated from Schoolcrafts nursing program in 2012. Its an excellent program. you definitely have to put in the work and time, but most of the professors are there to help and truly want you to excel and succeed. Holly Austin is an excellent med-surge professor and clinical instructor so i would try to get her classes if you can. They have great relationships with many of the areas top hospitals. My advice to you would be to use your classmates as resources, form study groups, dedicate time and just absorb as much of the information and learning opportunities as possible. This is really the only time in your career that you will have someone constantly there with you to answer any question (whether you think its dumb or not) and will guide you step by step. Good Luck to you!
@ 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?
I didn't go to EMU or Madonna. I chose an online RN-BSN completion program at University of Wyoming. I waited about 1 year into working as an RN to go back but i definitely think you could start right away into a BSN completion program if you wanted to. Good luck!

I'm happy to hear this. I am looking at Schoolcraft or OCC for my LPN-RN and have heard that Schoolcraft is the way to go (from some of my instructors at DU that have also taught at Schoolcraft).
