Real Skills for Future Nurses

Mid nursing students gain clinical experiences in both acute care and long term care facilities. Students are prepared as entry-level Associate Degree Registered Nurses, ready to begin employment immediately after graduation. Upon graduation, our students are eligible to sit for licensure by taking the NCLEX-RN exam.
Mid Michigan College students average 80%-90% pass rates on this test.
Selective Admissions Means No Wait List
In 2010, Mid transitioned from a wait list-based nursing program to selective admissions. The college welcomes 96 nurses each year (48 per cohort), based on the strength of their applications to the program. Learn more about our selective admissions process.
Save on BSN Prerequisites & Transfer to Complete
There are various options available to those pursuing an Associate Degree in Nursing to complete additional courses at a significant savings and in a familiar environment as they prepare to transfer. Students can then complete a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree at the four-year university of their choice. Future nurses working toward this goal often complete their associate degree, enter the workforce, and take advantage of employer tuition reimbursement to complete their bachelor degree. Check out transfer guides to universities across the state.
Career Overview
Registered Nurses are nurses involved in direct patient care. These health care professionals assess patients, help to design and carry out treatment plans, monitor the results of treatments, and keep patients and their families informed about their medical options and health issues.
