I am debating on applying to Baker Nursing program. I have a 4.0 and 82% on the Kaplan. However, before I sink in any more money I started looking into their program. When I actually started some research i found out some very disturbing things. First, I learned that out of the 40 people they accept into the nursing program about 10-12 actually graduate? Also, I know several people in the healthcare industry that do not know of ANY Baker nurses? In addition, I learned they are not accredited with NLNAC or any other nursing organizations, which I'm told is a very big thing. I personally know someone that dropped out after having to retake classes over and over and ended up going there for 3 years. She is now finishing up at MCC in the time they quoted. (She is a good student also)
I found that because teachers are so hard to get in the nursing programs that the Clinton Township campus has very poor instructors. I've taken classes at Auburn HIlls, Flint and Clinton and the quality is unreal. (Auburn having the best profs)
So out of curiousity, has anyone actually graduated from Baker and passed the NCLEX and is employed? Does anyone know someone that actually graduated? I'm willing at this point to transfer to another school and take the chance of waiting because I'm starting to get a bad tatse about Baker. Anyone IN the program now? Any thoughts?
