  1. Need advice please...

    mrsrlg replied to casonpa's topic in Michigan Nursing

    It is all so competitive that going with what makes you feel comfortable/possible is the best. Gemberly is right, too, that it will cost you a lot less at a community college. I didn't have the time...

  2. Need advice please...

    mrsrlg replied to casonpa's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi casonpa (April), I think it is possible to get the 10 classes done in time, though that depends on your work schedule, etc. Some of them can be taken online - 2 computer classes, Comp I, Psych,...

  3. Interested in the LPN program

    mrsrlg replied to persephone162's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi Persephone (Kay), I can't speak to how competitive the program has been in the past, but this year there were many applicants. I think they were expecting 120 people for 30 spots. We are, right...

    mrsrlg replied to hpygrl01's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hey there, Pankie! Glad all went well with your classes. I'm studying now and will continue all week, until the big day - Friday...ahhhh...lol. I'm thankful to be done with classes. It has been a long...

    mrsrlg replied to hpygrl01's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi Panky, Haven't seen you here for awhile, though I haven't been here much either with finals, etc. I hope everything went well with your MCC and Baker classes. Good luck on the HESI (I'm taking it...

  6. Anyone from Baker College? Say hello!!!

    mrsrlg replied to hpygrl01's topic in Michigan Nursing

    thanks for the info! i remember loretta saying once that she thought it would be 3 quarters, but i can understand this time being different or a bit longer while they work out the curriculum and such....

  7. Anyone from Baker College? Say hello!!!

    mrsrlg replied to hpygrl01's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I thought of a question I had...did they tell you how long the bridge lasts, like 3 quarters or more or less?

  8. Anyone from Baker College? Say hello!!!

    mrsrlg replied to hpygrl01's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi Carebear77, Thanks for the info. Is this the R.N. bridge approval they've been waiting on? I am just applying for the LPN program and will be taking my HESI late next week, but it will be good to...

  9. Anyone from Baker College? Say hello!!!

    mrsrlg replied to hpygrl01's topic in Michigan Nursing

    LOL Well, your weather should have been exactly like mine then; I'm in Shelby lol. Studying outside in the sun sounds like an excellent idea. I have this huge backyard and find nothing more peaceful...

  10. Volunteering at a hospital - best experience for a pre-nursing student?

    mrsrlg posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am going for an interview at a nearby hospital for a volunteer position soon. Since I am a pre-nursing student (applying in June), I will be volunteering under a student program, which has more...

  12. Volunteering at a hospital - best experience for a pre-nursing student?

    mrsrlg replied to mrsrlg's topic in General Nursing

    From my discussions here, I really think I will ask about peds or NICU or in those areas. I, sadly, never got to hold or have my own babies (though I've had many, many in my life :), so maybe that is...

  13. Anyone from Baker College? Say hello!!!

    mrsrlg replied to hpygrl01's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You're so welcome, Awhitt001! I swear it is the hardest thing sometimes, to stay encouraged that is. I try and stay positive and be positive in my posts. I've had many who have done the same with me...

  14. Volunteering at a hospital - best experience for a pre-nursing student?

    mrsrlg replied to mrsrlg's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, that's it, I want to be a baby cuddler! :) I'm not sure if this hospital does or not (in MI), but I will ask. I would even go do that for an hour after I finish my regular volunteer time. Thanks...

  15. Volunteering at a hospital - best experience for a pre-nursing student?

    mrsrlg replied to mrsrlg's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all the info! If I get accepted into nursing, I'm hoping maybe I can get a job at the hospital as a patient care aid or CNA-type, which I've read sometimes can happen after the first...

  16. Volunteering at a hospital - best experience for a pre-nursing student?

    mrsrlg replied to mrsrlg's topic in General Nursing

    Hi MacKenzie, Thanks for all the info! I would LOVE to volunteer in peds. It sounds like you get to do a ton of cool things with the kids, as well as other things. While I want to eventually work in...

  17. Volunteering at a hospital - best experience for a pre-nursing student?

    mrsrlg replied to mrsrlg's topic in General Nursing

    I've read here that nursing is intensive, probably more so than school has been to this point, so a break is key. Plus, my flower gardens are in some disrepair after going to school full-time through...

  18. Volunteering at a hospital - best experience for a pre-nursing student?

    mrsrlg replied to mrsrlg's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, Bedpan76! I'm actually just finishing up A&P II now, so I have all my pre-reqs and only need to do the HESI now. App date is 7/2, so I'll be finishing up the rest of what I have to do...

  19. Volunteering at a hospital - best experience for a pre-nursing student?

    mrsrlg replied to mrsrlg's topic in General Nursing

    I wondered about actual contact with patients. I didn't think it was usual for volunteers, but never having volunteered in a hospital, I wasn't sure. That helps give me an idea as to duties for sure....

  20. Anyone from Baker College? Say hello!!!

    mrsrlg replied to hpygrl01's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi awhitt001! :) It sounds like you're doing everything you can to get a spot, but it definitely is a struggle to get in. I'm not even bothering pursuing an RN. I guess I may rethink that after I see...

  22. Starting pre-reqs at JCC in a few days...nervous

    mrsrlg replied to stephanieana's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Congrats to you for returning to school! I've gone to school on and off for most of my life, lol, but just started finishing up my pre-reqs for nursing on-campus at Baker in January. It is the first...

  23. Anyone from Baker College? Say hello!!!

    mrsrlg replied to hpygrl01's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I agree with you, adn44. When you're going to be with a group for a year, it will go far smoother if everyone gets along and works together, but this board has shown me that this is not always the...

  24. Anyone from Baker College? Say hello!!!

    mrsrlg replied to hpygrl01's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Thanks, adn44! I know I was talking about that in another thread and was wondering about the Nursing Guild. Christine told us that it is to our benefit to join it, but I haven't really looked into it...

  25. Anyone from Baker College? Say hello!!!

    mrsrlg replied to hpygrl01's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi Dream2011, I'm not sure if it is the same everywhere, but at AH, for the LPN program, I think there is a 1 point loss for a repeat. I hope it works out for you. Good luck
