Hi,
I need to complete 3 pre-reqs at Baker in Auburn Hills to apply to the LPN program. I registered to start them this January 2009. You said you were already in the LPN program at Baker. Would you help me out and answer these questions as soon as possible? Thanks!

1 - I am concerned because I have to compete with other students for entry into the LPN program and I don't know how hard the classes are or what grades I will get.

What grades did you have when you applied?
How hard are the pre-req classes?
What is the competition like?

2 - I am concerned because none of the classes transfer to a 4-year univ and I want to complete my RN and then go on for a BSN completion. The GOOD news is that Baker in Aub Hills is applying for PERMANENT approval of their LPN program with the State of MI and when they get permanent approval they will apply with the State of MI for a LADDER program and we can transfer everything done at Baker from the LPN program into the RN Associate Degree program at Auburn Hills.

Do you think we will be able to get good jobs with a Baker LPN degree?
Do you think we will be able to go on for a RN and then a BSN and then a MSN if we want at another school when the Baker classes don't transfer?

They are 2-3 times more than community college costs - but I can't wait 2 years to get into a 1 year program and I can't get fin aid for comm college because I have too many transfer credits.

What kind of quality of education will we get at Baker for the money they charge?

Any other thoughts?

Thanks for your help! Mary
