Investigator from Michigan. Topics included the first amendment and “professional”  
speech, social media, “He/Said/She Said” cases and more.  
She reminded the board that the Annual Delegate Assembly is the last week of August,  
and each jurisdiction will send 2 delegates to vote on matters before the assembly.

Glenn encouraged all members to take advantage of ICRS courses there is a new one  
about APRN regulation that looks great!  
Remind your organizations about the value of E-Notify to have real time notifications for  
their licensed nurses with disciplinary actions. The service is free but does need to be  
set up.

Gumbrecht, Deputy Director Bryan Modelski, Licensing manager Kathy Sly, LARA

The survey was resubmitted and approved. The board will await the submission of the  
self-study.

Annual Nursing Education Program Report (For programs with initial approval):  
ALR Educational Health Services: The report was approved.  
Nursing Education Program Report (For programs with full approval):  
Muskegon Community College: The report for the PN-Option was approved. The  
committee requested that for future submissions, the program review the credit to  
contact hour ratios for the skills lab as they were not consistent in the report.  
Self-Study (For programs with full approval):  
Detroit Business Institute: The self-study was approved. However, there was no  
mention of the program pursuing accreditation pursuant to R 338.10303d. If the program  
does not achieve accreditation by January 1, 2025, as required by rule, the committee  
will recommend that the approval for this program be withdrawn.  
St. Clair County Community College: The self-study was approved. However, it was  
noted that Jeanine Galloway does not have a BSN degree and a Faculty Exception  
Request must be filed in order for her to continue to teach.  
Major Program Change:  
Hondros College of Nursing: The program would like to increase its annual enrollment  
from 450 to 600 students. The Major Program Change was not approved. Since the  
program is required to send in an NCLEX Improvement Plan this year, the committee did  
not approve a seat increase until there is improvement in the NCLEX pass rates to 80%  
or above. The committee would like to see the pass rates with a larger graduating class  
before another seat increase is allowed.  
Faculty Exception Request:  
Dorsey College - Madison Heights, Roseville, Wayne, and Woodhaven: A Faculty  
Exception Request was submitted for Arlena Lawrence for a PN Instructor to teach

LARA is an equal opportunity employer/program  
Application for Full Approval:  
University of Detroit Mercy – Novi: The application for full approval was approved. The  
program was asked to send in an updated faculty table and clinical contracts.  
Annual Nursing Education Program Report: (For programs with initial approval)  
Arizona College: The report was approved.

Nursing Education Program Report (For programs with full approval):  
Baker College – Cadillac: The report was approved.  
Baker College – Muskegon: The report was approved.  
Kalamazoo Valley Community College: The report was approved.  
Wayne County Community College District- Detroit: The report was approved.  
Self-Study (For programs seeking full approval):  
Lawrence Technological University: The committee noted improvements were made  
in the self-study. However, full approval was not granted. The program’s NCLEX scores  
for first time graduates are below the 80% requirement. The program has one year to  
reach the 80% requirement, or the committee will recommend withdrawal of board  
approval of this program.  
Washtenaw Community College: The report was not approved. The program needs to  
resubmit the faculty table for the September meeting.  
Major Program Change:  
Baker College - Cadillac, Jackson, Muskegon, Owosso, and Royal Oak: The program  
would like to implement a revised curriculum for the prelicensure traditional and  
accelerated tracks to align with the 2021 AACN Essentials. The Major Program Change  
was approved.  
Lake Superior State University: The program would like to increase the required  
courses by one credit hour. NURS 436 Nursing Issues will be increased from 2 to 3  
credits to reflect increased NCLEX preparation workload. This increases the program  
required credits from 114 to 115. The program will decrease the overall program credits  
5
from 125 credits to 124 credits by eliminating an elective credit to receive a BSN at the  
school. The Major Program Change was approved.  
Oakland University: The program is seeking permission to relocate its skills laboratory  
to a new building outside the current campus. In May, the request was denied because  
the program did not supply information on how it was going to evaluate the effect of the  
change as required by R 338.10303c(2)(c). The program supplemented its submission  
and provided the requested information which was approved. The committee requested  
that a site visit be conducted prior to approval of the simulation lab.  
Additionally, the previous submission alluded to the fact that enrollment would increase  
to 500 students. The committee does not have any paperwork supporting the increase.  
Therefore, the current enrollment is capped at 483 which matches the enrollment  
numbers on file with the department. If the program wishes to increase seats, a Major  
Program Change must be filed in accordance with R 338.10303c.  
Information from the Department of Education:  
Madonna University: The committee requested that the program submit documentation  
on it plans to rectify the deficiencies found in the United States Department of Education  
audit. The program needs to keep the committee updated if there are changes in its Title  
IV status.  
Site Visit Report:  
Washtenaw Community College: Submitted the site visit report from ACEN.  
The committee appreciates the submission of this information and requested that the  
program provide a final decision letter from ACEN on this matter when it is received.  
Decision Letters from Accrediting Bodies (For Accredited Programs with Full  
Approval):  
Dorsey College – Madison Heights, Saginaw, and Wayne: The ADN programs were  
granted initial accreditation by ACEN. The next evaluation visit is Fall of 2028. The  
accreditation date December 14, 2022.  
Ferris State University: The program received accreditation renewal from CCNE from  
November 8, 2023 – June 30, 2034. There were no compliance concerns.  
MISCELLANEOUS:  
NCSBN Annual Education Program Reports: https://www.ncsbn.org/nursing-  
regulation/education/approval-of-nursing-education-programs/education-  
program-reports.page . Przybylo will send the survey to the directors of nursing.
