Nursing at Baker College...

Studentnursejeff....I was curious, do you go to Bake, more so are you a nursing student at Baker. If so is this your first sememster? You seem to very knowledgeable about the nursing program itself.

I wanted to tell you guys that in the latest newsletter for Baker Clinton Twp, it says they are working on NLN accreditation. So I didn't hear it wrong. You can see for yourself on the site.

That they are in the process is no secret and is already established, I said the person who stated the process is in the "middle" was wrong, or has a very different definition of the the "middle".

For example, If 90% of the process is complete, is that really the middle?

It seems that a few of these posts are getting a little "touchy." My goodness, there is no reason for anyone to take things personal. Afterall this is a forum where people come to express their concerns, ask questions, or address suposide rumors. There is a way of informing, without coming across sarcastic.

Yes, it is. If it isn't completed, it is in-between the beginning and the end.

Middle: in-between: being neither at the beginning nor at the end in a series; "adolescence is an awkward in-between age"; "in a mediate position"; "the ...
center: an area that is approximately central within some larger region; "it is in the center of town"; "they ran forward into the heart of the ...

I have 5 kids. 3 of them are in the middle. Number four is still in the middle. OR the middle child could be just the third one. It's subjective on how it is used. You may have said, "close to being finished". "I said in the middle of the process". It is really neither here nor there, because I was just sharing casual information, because I thought the other members might be interested. It doesn't really matter, for the purposes of this conversation, where exactly they were in the process. It wasn't completed. But it is a good thing for Baker, that's why I shared the information.

Honestly, who gives a **** about semantics? I think we can all agree that we just want to get IN the program - whether it's accredited by such-and-such or not.

I agree. Though, it will be more likely that I remain reticent in the future even in regards to casual information.

i heard baker is not a good school, from a previous nursing instructor, sorry

Unfortunately nobody knows why people bad mouth certain schools. Maybe this instructor was a bad teacher and it wasn't the school. Maybe it is sour grapes on her part. They have a 100% pass rate for the NCLEX so it can't be all that bad.
