hey I was debating on which college to apply to for the nursing program (macomb or Baker). Do you know which one is easier to get into....my gpa is 3.5 and i have all my english in..computer...political science...and nutrition.. I dont know what to do because they ahve diffrent pre-reqs...Also how is the hesi test? How many questions are there?

The hesi test is not bad at all.

For the RN prgram you take the NET at Baker, the LPN requires the Hesi. As far as the RN program goes, they require as close to a 4.0 as possible. I had a 3.9 and did ok on the NET (not awesome but not bad either) Anyways I did not get in. However I did get into the LPN program with no probs. Have you thought of doing that then doing a bridge to RN?

If I wanted to apply to the LPN program at Baker, when could I do it. Can I apply to both the RN and LPN at the same time. I am taking the NET in the spring in Clinton Twp. Also, did you have to take MTH 111 for one of your prerequisites. I am in it now and afraid it will ruin my GPA. How long is the LPN to RN program? Does Baker offer it or will you have to go somewhere else. Sorry for so many questions.

You would not be able to go for both RN and LPN, because you have to change your major with the academic office. But you could try, what you would do is submit your packet for the RN program first, then change your major to LPN and apply to that one to and wait for the letters. As far as the RN program have you already taken the NET? I know that is coming up soon, you should call and find out when to take it before it is to late.

As far as the LPN it is coming up in May/June to apply and take Hesi. Remind me of what Math 111 is? I can't remember. The only math I had to take was Algerbra

Are you taking it at Auburn Hills? I had an amazing teacher, I learned alot from her. I'm not the greatest at math either but she really taught well and I "got it". If there was other things that I couldn't get after class I went to the Learning Center and had a tutor to work with me one on one. You should see if you could have a tutor it could definatley help. Good luck :)

I went yesterday to schedule my day to take the NET for April 21. There is a lot more to it than just GPA. There are bonus points for not repeating any classes, and I think that could really hinder attempts to get in.

From the information I got from the Nursing Department yesterday, they said that there were questions regarding A&P and other medical terms on the test. This must be something they just recently added.

It is definitely not necessary to get a 4.0 on your gpa. In fact, because it is based on a point system, it is better if you got a B- in A&P than if you repeated it and lost the bonus point. The B-will only lower your total score by a fraction of a point, and the repeat will lower your score by a whole point. Also your GPA is figured on only 10 classes in CT. Speech, Psy, Introductory Algebra, and Comp 2. Those are figured X1. A&P I and II, Micro, Pharm, Holistics, Path are X2. Everything else is disregarded. Unless you have a withdrawl. The score of the class doesn't count but the repeat counts against you.

I have considered the LPN program as a fall back in case I don't get into the RN program at Baker, but I am really just hoping to avoid that route and get into the program the first try.

Anyone else scheduled to take the NET this spring?? I am curious where we all stand on points before we take the NET.

We will probably be in the same group for the NET ! I was also going to schedule April 21st. What classes are you in now? Patho is my only science, but next semester I am taking Holistics and Pharm together. I have a 4.0 right now, but after Algebra that is going to change. What is your GPA. When you spoke with the office yesterday did they give you an idea of the lowest GPA and NET score for last semester? Just curious.

Right now I am taking holistics and speech and comp 2 :bugeyes:! I am taking Patho and Pharm Spring term. So far, my gpa is a 3.67, but after I am done, (with all my added A's... hahah) I should have a 3.7. Actually, I figured it out into points. We have a total of 12 points available for the GPA. And as long as I get A's I will have 11.14 points for my GPA. So without my NET score I have 15.14 points. Add the NET score in, and that is my total. My friend has a slightly lower GPA, but 5 bonus points, so she is ahead of me, until we add the NET scores on.

I asked what the average NET score was for baker and baker averages 70 (or 5 points). She also said that in the fall term, no one had all the bonus points. That's a good thing to know. I dropped Comp 1 a couple weeks in, and retook it and it showed up as a W on my transcript. So I lose 1 bonus point.

Are the only ways to get bonus points not repeating a class and getting a point for not transferring from another school?

There are three ways to get bonus points.

1. not transferring classes. (up to 2)

2. not repeating classes. (up to 3)

3. if you are not accepted the first time, you get an extra point next time you apply. (1)

Hope this helps.
