girlincali asked:


I have a teaching degree with a major in general science and a minor in Bio and am certified as a CCT and have finished a diploma as a Cardiac Sonographer but no jobs in either profession but tons in nursing. I don’t want to go back to school for another year?? Do colleges actually work with the degrees you have to push you further?

    history of nursing

    It’ll probably take you 2 years, but I don’t know how much your existing education helps with your nursing degree. UofM is of course a great place to go if you can get accepted and can afford it, and I have heard good things about Wayne State. Northwestern Michigan College has a wonderful program for nursing, as well, and can help you transfer after a semester or a year, and it’s probably the cheapest you’ll find in the state.

    I’ve had friends and relatives go to Michigan Tech who’ve liked that program, and a friend who’s been through some of the courses at Grand Valley who swears by it, too. There’re a lot of good schools in the state for medical professions of all types.

    nursing programs

    Many schools have accelerated BSN programs that basically just give you the nursing courses and let your previous bachelor’s stand in for all of the general education requirements they would otherwise have. They just require some prerequisites to be taken first (sciences often have to be from the last 5 years). These programs typically take 12-24 months. Even if you just tried for an associate’s programs, you would still probably need at least a year or so of nursing courses (and it may take you a lot longer to get through the waiting lists, which are longer at community colleges). U of M, MSU, Oakland U, Wayne State, and U of M Flint all have second degree programs (there may be others…those are just the ones I looked at).
