I'm sorry to say I don't have much info. I know people that loved it there and people that didn't.. I think if you're excited about it then you should be!!!! You have to take stuff you read on here with a grain of salt since many times when people come on here it is to vent or complain :) You can find good and bad on just about any school or subject on here...Good Luck and Congratulations!!!! :spnngwlcm: :nurse:

Hi,

Not sure what info you're specifically wanting, but yes, if you complete your pre-reqs by the application date, you can apply for the program. As for negativity, well everyone has an opinion, but I can only provide mine. :)

I spent 3+ years as a full-time student at Baker, 1.5 yrs online and the last 2 years at AH. I graduated the PN program in August and am now a working LPN. I'll also be returning to AH in Sept. to begin my LPN-to-RN. My experience has been positive. Has it been perfect? Not perfect, but certainly enough so to make me want to return. I had excellent instructors, in-depth instruction, and plenty of assistance with anything I needed, e.g., financial aid options, etc. The shorter terms, 10 weeks, allow for some breaks along the way, something I felt I needed from time to time. When you have a life outside school, as most of us do, those breaks allow you to reconnect, regroup, and be ready for the next 10 weeks. In our program, we had clinicals twice a week, mornings or afternoons, and class 1-2 days per week, depending on the quarter. There were also opportunities to do some community work, such as participating at health fair events, raising money for certain causes, etc., which I enjoyed being part of.

Anyhow, good luck to you. If you go to AH, or anywhere really, I hope it is what you want it to be. :)

I am starting at the auburn hills campus in january and wanted some real truthful information about the program. I also have some prereqs transferring over so will I be able to apply for the program in the summer since the prereqs aren't going to take me a full year? I was so excited after visiting the ah campus and going to orientation, but after reading a lot of negativity I need some real insight. Please help! Thanks in advance!
