There’s an alarming reason behind Michigan’s growing nursing shortage and it’s based in the state’s inability to place over four thousand nursing prospects. What’s the problem?
Michigan can’t supply enough nurse educators or nursing professionals to compensate upcoming health demands. In just three years, HALF of the state’s nursing faculty will retire, leaving a phenomenal gap between quality health care and a population in need of quality health care. In just five years, the state will be short eighteen thousand nurse professionals!!

Fortunately for you, the state enacted the Michigan Nursing Corps — a classroom and clinical infrastructure designed to (1) boost the state’s nursing work force and quicken degree completion. Once the state can produce a sufficient number of nurse educators, it can produce a sufficient number of nursing professionals. This program even offers financial aid in exchange for 5 years of teaching.
Get your BSN today and become eligible for financial aid toward an accelerated one-year Master’s degree in nursing. Or get clinical instructor certification with Master’s degree credits.

I am currently on the waitlist at Delta College for my ADN. Since the Michigan Nursing Corps has been enacted, if I apply will I be guaranteed a spot in the next clinical rotation? If so, where do I apply? If not, can you send me a list of schools that do not have a clinical waitlist? I am willing to relocate. Thank you.
