Looking for LPN school in Michigan

Published

i am new to this forum... but i have been lurking around for a bit... anyway i am currently going to wccd in michigan for rn. but i was thinking about go into a lpn program. could anyone direct me a good school? i also heard about a school in ohio, toledo school of practical nursing? did anyone complete their program? i am so ready to get into the program. currently i am taking a&p i. i figure i will complete the require classes for the rn program; until i get into the lpn.. it could always help me in the future- we i do go back to get my rn.

No the lpn. Auburn hills baker. Oh no, I think I will for sure make it in the everest program! I know it costs alot of money, but it is so worth it!

I really don't care about the cost. It is worth being happy and not stressed out as I call the "Baker experience." Plus, you can be done in 11 months.

I have never been one to compete and I don't like the drama at BAKER. I care for people and the way I have seen these Baker students in action shows me that I wouldn't let them anywhere near me if I was in a hospital or my worst enemy(which I don't have one but if I did). They are in it because they want money. Not because they genuinely want to help and care for people. It is a job that is in demand and all they see is dollar bills. Pretty scary that is our future health care workers.

I never heard of Everest before the other day when my Gyno's Med Assistant told me she went there. Have you been there to speak with them yet?

Yes, I am pretty much all set. All i need is to meet with financial aid. I took the test and wrote my essay. I am pretty sure I will be accepted for september. Are you planning on working during school? I plan on working on the weekends and once I am done I am going to do a lpn to rn at excelior. Im pretty excited!

Ok cool Katie. No, I don't work. My husband does. I don't want to scare you about Baker but I don't want people to go through what I went through. It was pretty bad. I think you are making a smart decision by going to this other school based on what that med assistant told me and my previous experience at Baker. I am going there soon. I can't wait to know all the details.

What is the process at Everest?

You went there and did you have to write an essay on why you want to be an L.P.N. and send it to them? Or did you write it there right then?

What else do they do to decide whether or not you will be accepted into their program?

I think the lady I spoke with Ms. Ways said they look at your previous colleges grades. Which mine should be fine A's and B's not good enough for Baker though.

Also how many students do they let into the program they have? I know once you're in you're in and that's it, right? You start classes and clinical's the second week I heard.

I had to write me essay there. it is based on medical work exp, test scores, essay, and college courses. You should call them and try to get in for september.

So when you submit it, how long do you have to wait until you find out? Did they tell you?

How did it go ?? Im planning on going to EVEREST for LPN.. how much is it??? and after you complete your program can you go to an acclerated program to become an rn? How will you go about doing this??

Yeah I decided against it. I didn't realize how far the drive was. I wasn't impressed with the staff either. The cost is wayyy too much also. The loans would of never covered it. I do not get grants.
