I too have gone back for lpn to rn transition. I am feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment. I have been an LPN for 1 year now and have a little anxiety. I worked in LTC over the past 9 months and did the normal or what is considered normal rout...

Hi mrsrlg, From my experience it would be very beneficial to have a lot of team spirit in this program. Unfortunately we did not have that, which was disappointing although not unusual in a nursing program. Some students do bond very tightly and he...

I graduated from AH LPN program and belonged to the nursing guild, which is for nursing students only unless that has changed from last year. MA's etc.. have their own groups unless that has changed also

Hi mrsrlg, I hope I helped, it is certainly doable and we are the type that will do!

Hi mrsrlg, you are very welcome. Your story sounds a bit like mine, my children have all grown and my husband has been supportive and helpful through my 2 yrs of school. I actually started out at Baker of Flint doing pre-reqs then grabbed the oppo...

I graduated from the program last year, it was challenging in many aspects. For one it was a new program and we had many changes that went on throughout the program such as instructors and DON, which made it difficult to follow as everyone has thei...

For those of you looking at respiratory therapy as an alternative, just a word of advice; go on a job shadow experience for this especially since your first choice is to be a nurse, find out what this field of work really entails. Prior to entering ...

UofM flint has a wait list, they also do not take all of Baker's classes such as English 102, you will need to retake that, I believe their are more, I just cannot remember them all. Call and talk to an advisor and they will give you all the info.

I am an lpn graduate from the AH Baker campus. I started out on the rn track through Baker completing all pre-reqs for that program. I chose to go the LPN route in order to become a nurse and to begin working much quicker. Having my LPN license h...

Jules and Sandiesown, please pm me also if poss, as I too am an LPN in MI and am interested in the info on your nursing programs. Thank you

All the nursing programs are very hard to get into. Competition for example in Michigan is extremely stiff. I would recommend staying with a community college; financially alot more affordable, transferring credits will be a lot easier, as you know...

I would like to add that having CNA experience is of great help when training to become a nurse at any capacity. The knowledge that some of my classmates have from CNA training has allowed them to help me in my clinicals. If I had known that now I ...

I had the same concerns regarding LPN vs RN. My situation worked out that I am now in an LPN program and very grateful due to the long wait for RN programs. I will begin working as an LPN and go for my RN online. This will allow me to make money a...

I am soon to begin the LPN program at Baker. Call for any updated pre-req info, as it may change from last year. The process is pretty simple; finish the required pre-req's, apply for the program, take the hesi test (entrance exam) and await the le...

Carebear, I went yesterday to the human resource to get my info and hand deliver the letter to baker same day. I also went to the web site and ordered a lot of the things needed. I was very impressed with the prices too! Do you feel real confident...

Carebear, Congrats! I too have been accepted into the Baker program in Auburn Hills, in fact we probably sat near each other in orientation. How do you feel about the program and the possibility of the ADN they are trying to implement? I am a litt...

I called OCC and they told me that the next application date is december and that the next class to start would be in fall of 08, is this what you were told or was I misinformed? She also said I would need chemistry for the RN program.

Sugarbear 25, did you attend baker of flint?

I was thinking about something else regarding baker's RN program: That program in total is only 18 months. if you add that up it is approx 3.5 months shorter than any other RN program in michigan. I feel it was somewhat of a blessing for me not to ...

let me know if you get in. Hey don't feel bad about becoming an LPN, it is only the first part of the 2 year degree you will finish. I look at it this way and it helps me feel better about all of this. You will become an RN and so will I, it will ...

Hi carebear, yes I am considering doing that. I have all my pre-req's done for the program, I am taking the hesi on the 22nd. I feel your frustration, I have been researching since last dec 06 and have had one door shut after another as far as gett...

sorry for the out of order post, somehow I was put here instead of where I was posting too.

a school can recieve approval from the michigan bon, although approval and accredidation are not the same. Once approved by the bon the school then has a limited amt of time to "prove" success of the program to gain accredidation. Baker college of ...

I too was considering the LPN at Baker. I am very hesitant to go back to baker at this point, even for the LPN program. I did pretty good on the hesi and was still advised to retake it for the LPN. I feel so defeated by them. I am also struggling...

I know, I am still trying to get over that. Baker college is a good college for business programs mostly, in my opinion... When I spoke with the health advisor over at U of M, I was told that a lot of the Baker students come after the fact of not g...
