Dorsey College - Woodhaven, MI Campus — Local services in Woodhaven

Dorsey has literally changed my life! My late husband passed away in January 2019 and left our 5 year old son and myself devastated. We were grieving, had to move, and lost my job during the first 3 months of being a single mother. I didn't have enough money to support my child while I was working minimum wage job and also being on government assistance. While I worked at Walgreens, I was told they had a pharmacy tech program for employees that have worked their for at least 6 months. I thought that would be such an interesting career and couldn't stop thinking about it. Unfortunately, I lost my job at Walgreens but I still wanted to become a pharmacy technician. It was 3 days before my birthday I called up Dorsey to see if they offered a CphT program. Tara, my amazing admissions advisor, gave me all the details and made an appointment within 5 minutes of that phone call. I met with Tara the next day and she was so nice and thorough when explaining the program, the facility, financial aid and everything. I signed up for the program that day. All the staff made it so easy to get enrolled, get help me get finaical aid, and loans payments I can afford! All the staff at Dorsey are legitimately the most supportive people you will meet in your life! They genuinely care about you and you aren't a number but an individual. My teachers are amazing and will do whatever it takes. Mrs. Ault, the pharmacy tech teacher at Dorsey, is one of the most generous, smart, nicest, and most genuine person I have ever met. She will come in early to help tutor you or answer any questions you have through text. I have texted her when I was overwhelmed and she is always there to talk to. I admire her so much and she inspires me everyday to be a better person and teaching me to love myself again, to have pride in myself. Ms. G. is another example of a model teacher. She is so down to Earth, makes sure you are ok, and always answers any questions you have. I adore her as well. I currently have a 4.0 GPA and was awarded Student of the Module award! 😃❤️❤️. I highly recommend Dorsey Woodhaven to anyone considering going back to school. I have been through so many trials and obstacles while in the program and the faculty has helped me through every single one of them and I am still succeeding. Not to sound corny, but honestly if I can do it, anyone can do it! Enrolling at Dorsey has been the best decision I have ever made (besides having my wonderful son) and I am going to school for my dream career! I am showing my son you can be whatever you want to be when you set your mind to it. He is my inspiration and I'm going to make him proud! Thank you, Dorsey for training me for the career of my dreams and giving me confidence in myself again. I love you...

From the first time walking into Dorsey at Woodhaven, the atmosphere was very welcoming. The Director of Nursing Dr. Smith took time out of her day to listen to her students individually. The Practical Nurse Manager Ms. Thomas, made every class enjoyable. To learn from someone who’s intelligent like the instructors here was different because not only did they teach you the need to know but also the good to know. The front office staff… A GREAT GROUP of women. Mrs. Nicole B. In the financial aid office, a very understanding woman. Never passed judgment for your financial situation. She even offered different outlets to assist with payments. Ms. Lynn as well! She falls under the financial aid category as well. Ms. Brown, had a talk with me before I started 13 months ago, that conversation motivated me to just START. Ms. Borchardt, Career Services signed us up for the NCLEX, got us registered in a timely fashion. The advice given will last a lifetime. I know I’m missing a few people here but they ALL have made an impact in my life. I appreciate every single staff member of this campus.

To the future nurses,

JUST BEGIN. You never know the potential you have until...

SUCCESS- the accomplishment of an aim or purpose Do you know why you wake up and go to work in the morning? Many people spend their lives trying to find purpose. Why am I here? What am I suppose to be doing? Some people may find that purpose and some won’t. Me, however, I have found my purpose because of Dorsey. I am a former graduate from the medical assisting program. I was speaker at class graduation, I’ve won an award through the state of Michigan, and I have done the lobby video for the campus. My ONLY goal when I started was to FINISH. All of my other accomplishments came along the journey, they weren’t planned. So never settle for less. I didn’t attend the Woodhaven campus, but I’m sure with encouragement, support and love the faculty provides; everyone will find their purpose just like I did. Take advantage of all the opportunity has to offer you. Use your resources; don’t be afraid to ask for help. The purpose of the staff is fulfilled every time a person crosses the stage. THE SKY...
