Michigan Nursing Schools and Programs

Michigan consists of two peninsulas, separated by the Straits of Mackinac. Michigan has endless miles of beautiful shoreline, historic shipwrecks in the waters, beach towns, winter sports, golfing, and deep Native American history. With most of the population in the lower part of the state, it is easy to getaway to the scenic rural areas after a long week of finals in your nursing program. There is ample to do for every persons taste!

Michigan offers numerous opportunities for nursing education. Michigan’s current nursing crisis is similar to the rest of America. The nursing shortage in Michigan is on top of the states worries. In an effort to alleviate the nursing shortage, the state recently granted $17 million to schools for accelerated training programs. Nurses in hospitals, community health centers, group practices, long term care facilities, and elsewhere in the health care community, are being called upon to lead and manage departments within their organizations. In addition, they are being asked to as become educators, not only for the patients, but for the future nurses of their communities. For those interested in pursuing or advancing a career in the field of nursing, this is an excellent time. Many universities offer both online and campus based programs. Online nursing programs have become increasingly popular over the past several years. They are meant to provide a convenient and flexible option for working registered nurses or other health care professionals. Most schools allow you to complete coursework at your own pace.
