Program Information

Glen Oaks Community College offers a Laddered Associate of Applied Science in Nursing Degree Program. The Laddered program consists of Level I

For more detailed information
about the different programs,
please review the full program
description pages below:

Level I: Practical Nurse
Level II: Registered Nurse

(Practical Nurse Program) and Level II (Registered Nurse Program). The course sequences for both Level I and Level II may be found in the Packet material.

The Laddered program is designed to provide for the educational needs of students with varying backgrounds, capabilities, ambitions and career intentions. This design also facilitates preparation of nursing students with differing competencies to meet the variety of employment needs within the surrounding community.

Graduates of Level I are awarded a Practical Nurse Certificate and are eligible to apply for LPN Licensure. Students may exit the program after completing Level I and return if they meet readmission criteria. Students progressing in a continuous sequence to Level II must meet continuation requirements. Currently licensed practical nurses that were educated at other institutions may enter Level II. LPNs must meet nursing program admission criteria and have the prerequisites needed for required courses in the curriculum.

Nursing Student

Nursing Student

GOCC offers both the Certificate of Practical Nursing and Registered Nursing education programs (Laddered programs). Students can enter Level I and Level II nursing programs based upon a competition for available seats.Students must successfully complete either the Level I program and/or the Level II Associate Degree in Nursing program to become eligible to complete the nationwide NCLEX exam in order to obtain a state-issued nursing license.Please review the following information as it pertains to all current Nursing Division students:

Background ChecksImmunization PolicyFAQ'sLevel I PacketLevel II Packet

Criminal Background Checks

Criminal background checks are mandatory for all nursing students at the student’s own expense.

All information gained will be held in strictest confidence.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Students with criminal convictions
should consider another profession

Students with felonies or certain misdemeanor convictions will NOT be admitted as outlined below.

Students entering a nursing program must give permission to do a criminal history check to comply with Michigan Compiled Laws, Section 333.20173. No student will be admitted to the program if convicted of a felony, or attempt/conspiracy to commit a felony within 15 years preceding the date of admission; or a misdemeanor conviction involving abuse, neglect, assault, battery, criminal sexual conduct, fraud, theft (or similar misdemeanor in state or federal law) against a vulnerable adult within 10 years of conviction.

Additionally, ANY criminal convictions may prevent admission to the nursing program. Applicants should know that criminal activity of any sort may prevent:

  1. Clinical placements in the program (making success in the program impossible).
  2. The ability to be licensed as a nurse.
  3. Employment in the field of nursing. Employers do not have to hire anyone with a criminal background and some employers are refusing to hire those who have past criminal history.

Criminal activity associated with substance abuse is particularly damaging to the candidacy of an applicant.

Currently the Michigan State Board of Nursing investigates candidates eligible to sit for nursing licensure for the following issues:

  1. Felony conviction
  2. Misdemeanor conviction punishable by imprisonment for a maximum of 2 years
  3. Treatment for substance abuse in the past 2 years
  4. Malpractice settlements. Awards or judgments in the past 5 years
  5. Having federal or state health professional license or registration revoked, suspended, or otherwise disciplined; been denied a license; or currently with disciplinary action pending against the applicant
  6. Having been fired, censured, or requested to withdraw from a health care agency staff or have your staff privileges involuntarily modified
  7. Filed or written a licensing application in another US jurisdiction
  8. Filed a license application in Michigan
  9. Hold another license in another state

A determination is made by the state at that point whether or not the candidate may be licensed as a nurse. No one at GOCC can make the decision about eligibility for licensing as a nurse. We can only confer a certificate or degree, not a state license to practice nursing or any other healthcare occupation. Questions or concerns about licensing should be directed to the MSBON or to the state agency regulating other healthcare occupations.

Due to recent enactment of a new Michigan law, many health care employers are routinely not hiring anyone with criminal backgrounds, regardless of licensure status. Also, all health care agencies routinely drug screen applicants for jobs and employees randomly to maintain patient safety and to curtail the employer’s liability.

Immunization Policy

Immunization policy records are maintained by the Nursing Office to meet the requirements of contracts maintained with clinical sites participating in the education of our student nurses. This policy must be adhered to by ALL nursing students. Entry into the program will be denied to anyone not willing to follow the policy since Glen Oaks would not be able to place you in clinicals; therefore, you would not be able to complete the program.

Students entering Glen Oak’s Nursing program are required to submit evidence of immunizations on a health record or physical form completed by your physician as follows:
Measles, Mumps & Rubella (MMR)

Students born in or after 1957 must:

  • Have proof of two (2) MMRs in your file. If you have no proof of two (2) MMRs you must receive them before entry into the program, the doses should be one month apart, so you would need to have the first one two (2) months before your classes start, and the 2nd one NO LATER THAN one (1) month prior to 1st day of class.
  • In lieu of getting the MMR’s you may get titers drawn for Measles, Mumps and Rubella but they must prove immunity to each disease, otherwise you will need to get the MMRs.

Students born before 1957 must:

  • Have one documented MMR
  • Submit *titer for Rubella showing immunity
PLEASE NOTE: Measles vaccinations may temporarily suppress tuberculin reactivity, therefore, tuberculin testing should be postponed 4-6 weeks after receiving an MMR immunization. MMR should not be given to women known to be pregnant or who are considering becoming pregnant within 3 months of immunization.

Hepatitis B

Proof of Hepatitis B immunity through submission of a health record showing the 3 Hepatitis B shot series OR Hep B Surface (AB) Anti-Body *titer is REQUIRED. If you are just starting the series of three shots, you need to know that 2 shots must be done before you can start clinicals. The third shot is administered 4 to 6 months later so this series takes about 5-7 months to complete. If you are getting the series for the first time to enter the program, you WILL need a titer drawn after completing the series.

Chicken Pox

Proof of immunity by *titer or 2 vaccinations.

Tuberculin (TB) Testing

A TB test with negative results is required yearly. If there has been a previous positive reading you will need to get a Chest X-ray for your record showing you do not have TB. Those are required every 2 years.

PLEASE NOTE: Measles vaccinations may temporarily suppress tuberculin reactivity, therefore, tuberculin testing should be postponed 4-6 weeks after receiving an MMR immunization.

Tetanus, Diptheria & Pertussis (TDAP)

One time dose of TDAP as soon as feasible to all Health Care Provider’s (HCP) who have not received TDAP previously. Get TD boosters every 10 years thereafter.

Flu Shot(s)

Yearly Influenza Vaccine(s) IN SEASON (FALL/WINTER).

*titer – a titer is a blood test that shows antibodies sufficient to produce immunity

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I apply to the Nursing Program?

You must complete a Glen Oaks College application, have taken orientation and the college ACCUPLACER entrance test, and get information for financial aid (if necessary). THEN you may interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) for help with your plan for entering the program and submit your nursing application at that time, or after, to the DON – nursing office!!!!! This is very important as you will receive the most current information on changes which have or may be taking place in the program.

Does Glen Oaks have a waiting list?

No, we have a testing-in procedure that we follow for admission into the program.

What is the testing procedure and what is the test?

We now have a FREE test for entrance. Sign up sheets are posted on the pre-nursing bulletin board outside the nursing office, and you MUST have seen the DON and turned in your nursing application to sign into a test session. The test is given in December for entry into the following Spring Level I class.

The procedure is basic, with the top 40 students getting into the program. Entrance ranking core formula consists of the following: Test score = 75% + GPA of Prerequisites = 25% to equal 100%

Will my classes transfer from other colleges?

Level I applicants: previous nursing courses will not transfer, however there are a lot of general education classes in the program that will transfer. All equivalency (pre-requisite) courses with a 2.5 GPA or better are transferable for the Glen Oaks nursing program. You must transfer them officially, from your institution to ours through the mail, and you must ask for them to be evaluated for nursing. Level II applicants transfer in their NURSING license.

Is the program full or part time, night or day?

At this point in time we have only a full time program and it is a daytime program only.

Is Financial Aid available?

Yes it is, contact the Financial Aid Office at Glen Oaks.

If I am not currently a Glen Oaks Student, How do I keep updated on information I need to come into the program?

By keeping up with the information on the nursing webpage. This is the easiest way for you to get information. You MUST meet with the director of the program before you apply to the nursing program. Visit the website regularly for updates and requirement information. You may also call, email or stop in to the office at any time.

If I don’t qualify when I test, does my application get moved automatically to the next year, and will my test score be reusable the next year or do I need to test again?

You must re-submit an application to be considered and yes, you can keep your test score or retake the test to attempt a higher score…with the most recent test score being used to determine eligibility. Test scores can only be used within a year from the original test date.

Level I Packet
If you would like a PDF version of this packet emailed to you, please use the Program Packet Request Form located on this page.

The Glen Oaks Community College Laddered Associate of Applied Science in Nursing Degree Program begins yearly. The laddered program consists of Level I (practical nurse) and Level II (registered nurse). In addition to meeting the general requirements of the College for admission, there are requirements pertinent to each level of the program.

It is recommended that you work with the advising office and the nursing division to plan your course schedule while completing your pre-requisite courses, and you MUST meet with the Director of Nursing during your first semester on campus*. Information icon

Information Sheet

The Level I Nursing Program starts in Spring (June) of each year and the Nursing Application is due by December 1st of each year (or the closest business date preceding 12/1), along with the Entrance test sign up (the month of November). The test takes 2-3 hours. There is a test book available and the test is the Kaplan PN Entrance test. The test will always be given on the 3rd Tuesday in December.

The curriculum has been designed to accommodate beginning nursing students at Level I. Graduates of Level I may progress directly to Level II if requirements are met. It offers those students, as well as current Licensed Practical Nurses, the opportunity to continue their education at Level II to meet the requirements for R.N. licensure. Glen Oaks Community College admits to both levels concurrently. Qualified applicants may enter either of these levels as a means for meeting their educational goal. Completion of each level requires three semesters, with the first semester being a COMPRESSED 7 ½ week semester during June and July.

There are basic prerequisite courses, which must be completed or transferred with a grade of 2.5 (C+) or higher for each class. You must also complete the ACCUPLACER evaluation (if appropriate) given free at Glen Oaks.

Prerequisite courses: Take algebra prior to taking chemistry!!! Some of these nursing prerequisites have prerequisites of their own – be advised properly to avoid conflicts!

  • 1 credit of high school Algebra AND placement into MATH 104 Intermediate Algebra on ACCUPLACER (score of 56 or higher) OR MATH-ACT (score of 23 or higher), OR MATH 100 Introductory Algebra with 2.5 or higher grade
  • 1 credit of high school Chemistry OR CHEM 130 Chemistry with 2.5 or higher within the past 10 years
  • BIO 210 Principles of Anatomy & Physiology I (Pre-req: BIO 101 Human Biology)
  • BIO 211 Anatomy and Physiology II
  • PSY 210 Human Growth & Development (Pre-req: PSY 101 College Psychology)
  • ENG 121 English Composition
  • ALH 218 Medical Terminology
Acceptance into Level I of the nursing program is based upon:
  1. Successful completion of the prerequisites for the program (listed above);
  2. Being ranked into the available seats for the program. Ranking is based on the entrance test score (percent correct) and the GPA of the prerequisite courses for Level I. The ranking score formula is a combination of 75% of the entrance test score, and 25% of the GPA of all prerequisites for Level I entry. The Kaplan Entrance test for Level I is free. The test is comprised of four sections: English, Reading, Mathematics and Science and takes about three hours to complete.
  3. All health, including medical clearance, background check, drug screening requirements, etc. must be met by due dates established should you test into the program.

Applicants who have met the prerequisites in high school or who are taking the prerequisite courses at Glen Oaks or transferred them in, may utilize the time prior to admission to take non-nursing courses, which are part of the nursing curriculum. They are identified on the course sequence sheets for each level of the program (in the Level I & II packets online). Taking courses prior to admission will not insure acceptance to the Nursing Program. However, if accepted, taking courses in advance will reduce the number of credit hours the student will take each semester once the program begins. A grade of 2.5 (C+) must be achieved in each prerequisite course. You are cautioned to work with the financial aid office to keep from over or under loading each semester as it relates to financial aid.

Please Note: nursing students are responsible for their own expenses including, but not restricted to, travel, health care, and emergency treatment. Travel is required to clinical sites in Indiana as well as various cities in Michigan.

Level II Packet
If you would like a PDF version of this packet emailed to you, please use the Program Packet Request Form located on this page.

The Glen Oaks Community College Laddered Associate of Applied Science in Nursing Degree Program begins yearly. The laddered program consists of Level I (practical nurse) and Level II (registered nurse). In addition to meeting the general requirements of the College for admission, there are requirements pertinent to each level of the program.

It is recommended that you work with the Nursing Office to plan your prerequisite courses prior to applying to the program and you MUST meet with the Director of Nursing during your first semester on campus*. Information icon

Information Sheet

The Level II Nursing Program starts every spring (June) and the nursing application is due EVERY YEAR on April 1st or the nearest business day preceding it. The test date for the Kaplan Transition test will always be the 2nd Wednesday in May, and sign-up sheets will be posted April 1st or the nearest business day preceding it. Deadline for test sign up will always be the last Friday in April.
NOTE: This Kaplan Transitions test focuses on Nursing Care and a minimum score of 75% correct, must be achieved to be considered for entry.
Graduates of Level I may progress directly to Level II if requirements are met. It offers those students, as well as current Licensed Practical Nurses, the opportunity to continue their education at Level II to meet the requirements for R.N. licensure. Glen Oaks Community College admits to both levels concurrently. Completion of Level II requires three semesters, with the first semester being a COMPRESSED 7 ½ week semester occurring during June/July.

Acceptance into Level II of the nursing program is based upon:

  1. Being ranked into the program with the ranking based on the graduating GPA from your Practical Nurse program (total GPA must be 2.5 or higher), AND the score on the Level II Kaplan Transition Test. The entrance ranking score formula is a combination of the minimum test score of 75% correct figured at 75% of the final score, with the GPA from PN program at 25% of final score.
  2. All health, including medical clearance, background check and drug screening requirements must be met by the due dates established.
NOTE: You are cautioned to work with the financial aid office to keep from over or under loading each semester as it relates to financial aid.
IMPORTANT: Financial aid and scholarships may be available if you qualify for the nursing program. For more information please contact the Financial Aid Office at (269) 467-9945, extension 260.

If your career goal involves eventually completing a BSN degree, you are advised to check the curriculum at the college/university you plan to attend. While waiting for classes at Glen Oaks to begin, you may want to take some non-nursing freshman and sophomore classes required in the university’s curriculum that will eventually transfer to that university. Students in the nursing program must earn a grade of 2.5(C+) or higher in each required course in the nursing curriculum, and maintain an overall GPA of 2.5 (C+) or higher. Students who receive final grades of less than 2.5 (C+) in a required course will not be allowed to progress until they have made up their deficiencies. Failure of two or more nursing courses will be cause for dismissal from the Program. Nursing students must meet GOCC requirements for graduation.

Please keep informed by checking glenoaks.edu regularly. You may also stop by the Nursing Office in the D 200 wing (D255) at any time or phone the Nursing Office at (269) 294-4333 or toll free 888-994-7818, ext. 333, to make arrangements to meet with the Nursing Director.

Please Note: Nursing students are responsible for their own expenses including, but not restricted to, travel, health care and emergency treatment. Travel is required to clinical sites in Indiana as well as various cities in Michigan.

Admission Criteria

Part B is for students entering Level II who have completed Level l some time previously OR students who did not attend GOCC for their PN. Level II enrollment is limited to 30 students.

A. Current Level I student MUST:
  1. Submit a “Letter of Intent” to enter Level II by the deadline of April 1st.
  2. Take the Kaplan Transition Entrance exam for Level II and achieve an “overall percent correct” score of 75 or higher.

If you pass the exam but are not ranked in, retaking the exam is unlimited.
  3. Submit an official college transcript if applicable, verifying courses taken for transfer since starting Level I, i.e., ENG 122 English Composition.
  4. Applicants are ranked to determine admission for Level II, based on an entrance ranking score which is 25% of their program GPA and 75% of their Kaplan Entrance test score. If equally ranked applicants exceed available seats, the following criteria in descending order will be used to determine admission:
    1. In-district applicant
    2. Date Nursing Application was received
    3. Date Glen Oaks Admission Application was received
Acceptance into Level II is conditional until documentation supports the following:
  1. A physical exam that reveals no medical reason which would exclude the student from participating in the Nursing Program.
  2. A record of current immunizations per immunization policy.
  3. A current CPR for the health care provider card from the American Heart Association. Both the CPR card and the immunizations must be kept current for the duration of the program.

NOTE: Current Level I students MUST take and pass the NCLEX-PN upon completion of Level I and submit a copy of your Michigan license when received. You MUST sit for the NCLEX and pass the Michigan licensing test within the semester following graduation from Level I.

A failure on the NCLEX-PN exam will result in forfeiting your seat in the Level II program.
B. Current Licensed Practical Nurses – students returning to the program from a previous GOCC class, or current LPN’s from another program MUST:
  1. APPLY to Glen Oaks Community College AND schedule a NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION prior to registering for classes. If you have been a past student at Glen Oaks you must go to Student Services and update your application.
  2. Meet with the Director of Nursing (DON) and submit a nursing application by April 1st (or the nearest business day to it), AND submit a copy of your current unencumbered Michigan PN license.

  5. Have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher in your PN program.
  6. Report any Criminal Felony or Misdemeanor charges on a public record to the DON with submission of your nursing application. Acceptance into Level II is conditional on a negative criminal background investigation and a negative drug and alcohol screen.
  7. Take the Kaplan Transition Entrance exam for Level II and achieve an “overall percent correct” score of 75 or higher. If you take the Kaplan exam and score below 75%, you may take it again next year. However only two unsuccessful attempts are allowed. If you pass the test but are not ranked in, retaking the exam is unlimited.
The entrance ranking score for current PN’s is the cumulative GPA from your PN program at 25% and the Entrance test score at 75%. The combined score will then be ranked and the top 30 applicants will be admitted.
