RN programs in Michigan
35 RN (registered nurse) programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free
33 schools offer these RN programs, and Michigan has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.
Registered nurses provide and coordinate patient care and teach patients and their families about health conditions. To work as one, you graduate from an approved nursing program (a bachelor's or associate degree in nursing, or a hospital diploma) and pass a licensing exam for your state nursing license.1 The exam is the NCLEX-RN from the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, which the nursing boards of every state, DC and four US territories use in deciding who gets a license.2
In Michigan, 6 of the 35 programs take students without a high school diploma, 13 ask for a diploma or equivalent, 15 ask for earlier courses first and 1 asks for a bachelor's degree.
By kind, the 35 programs here are RN associate degree (ADN, 23 programs), RN bachelor's degree (BSN, 7 programs), accelerated RN bachelor's degree (for graduates, 2 programs), LPN to RN bridge (associate degree, 2 programs), and 1 more of one other kind.

Where the Michigan RN program numbers come from
Which Michigan RN programs are on this list?
These are the RN programs Michigan approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).10 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Michigan offers.
How the prices and results of Michigan RN programs are measured
Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
