Oakland Community College VS Schoolcraft College (ADVICE NEEDED)

Rating:
(votes: 8)


I am from Novi, Michigan. I am looking into RN (eventually to BSN) track programs offered at the colleges near me. I currently attend Oakland Community College, and have inquired about their offered nursing program. I am currently signed up for classes at OCC to qualify my admission for their program, but I am very behind as far as Biology courses which are required to apply to the program and I have to take a Bio 1511 per-requisite before I can even start the other bio classes required for application processing (I recently made up my mind to pursue nursing so I haven't taken any biology courses so far in college). Yesterday, I went to meet with an academic counselor at Schoolcraft College. Their program appears to have less requirements for admission, and their program even allows you to begin a few nursing classes before you become admitted into their program... The only downside is that I wouldn't be able to start up the actual program until fall of 2017., due to Schoolcraft's limited space and recruiting time. I was wondering if anyone had previous experience with either college and/or an ADDITIONAL colleges (such as Chamberlain or Madonna) with their nursing programs, and could advise me on choosing the right program to apply to...
This is my unofficial transcript from OCC...

Hi there! I live in livonia, mi and graduated the RN program from wcccd in 2011, just completed my BSN from EMU and reviewed acceptance into u of m-flint DNP program for this fall. Nursing is definitely a long but fulfilling journey, my advice to you is if you know you want your BSN than just go straight through. I've heard a lot of good stories and experiences from students at Madonna (I was accepted into their NP program as well), you have quite a few classes you'll still need to take though (to get into any nursing program).

Comment:
Meant to say received acceptance, not reviewed
