NMC Nursing Online Option

General Information

NMC admits students to an online version of its traditional nursing curriculum each fall semester.  This option is intended for full-time ADN students.  It provides all of the nursing theory or academic classes available in an online format.  It will still require attendance in person for the lab and clinical courses.  The labs and clinicals are generally scheduled in the Traverse City area and will require 2-3 days per week of attendance.

Once a student begins the online option, the college will assure that the online courses will be available until he/she completes the program as long as he/she continues to follow the model schedule for full time.

If a student needs to vary from the full time plan or gets out of sequence for any reason, he/she will need to move into the traditional program.   If students are already in the part time program, interested in only certain courses online, or in the PN program and wish to take online courses, they can request to be placed on a waiting list for space in online classes.  Any space not used by full time students will be filled from these waiting lists.  Please call the Health Occupations office manager at (231) 995-1235 to request to be placed on a waiting list.

If this alternative sounds interesting to you, you need to take the following steps:

• Review the general Nursing Program information which includes prerequisite information and program model schedules (http://www.nmc.edu/healthoccupations/nursing/).
• Take the online survey to self-assess if this is the best choice for you.
• Complete NMC Admission process. Let Admissions know that you are interested in the online option.
  
• Complete program prerequisites.  Note that if you plan to complete these at another college, be sure to check with Admissions at 995-1046 or (1-800-748-0566, ext. 1046) or email rkucera@message.nmc.edu to see if the courses will transfer for the NMC program. Remember to have your transcripts forwarded to NMC.
  
• Notify Admissions at 995-1046 or (1-800-748-0566, ext. 1046) or email rkucera@message.nmc.edu of your readiness for Nursing program admission and your continued interest in the online option once all your prerequisites are completed.  This will initiate a review of your transcripts and acceptance to the program.  Be sure that you have had all of your transcripts forwarded if you have taken prerequisites at other colleges.
• Once you are officially admitted to the program, contact your nursing advisor to get your program set up and to get enrolled in classes.
