May they RIP. So sad for all affected. Prayers!

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 ...

Great! Once you know all your options, it will make the decision that works for you easier to make, with your current schedule, cost, classes needed, etc. I chose the program and school I did out of convenience, but it really has worked out for the b...

Sorry, wasn't thinking...as a current LPN, it is definitely in your favor to look at the bridge programs available. Baker has one, but there are others - I think OCC and maybe HFCC. Doing it this way, you may be saving yourself a year of school. You ...

Nursestyle1, The LPN-RN is 3 quarters long, basically about 9 months, but there are pre-reqs needed before applying. It is likely more credits than a usual ADN program because it works with the existing AH LPN program. Including pre-reqs, the LPN pro...

It's a common subject that comes up about Baker, so this thread just supplies more info about the school. People have to decide for themselves how much that will influence their decision. It wasn't key for me, but it may be for someone else. You aske...

As I've stated in this thread, I'm a long-time Baker student and intend to finish all of my nursing there, including LPN-to-RN and RN-to-BSN online at AH, and I really have no qualms about doing so whatsoever. However, I decided today to have a look ...

I have looked around before, but decided to do so again. While I do see that only Baker Owosso is listed as pursuing NLNAC accreditation right now, all of Baker College is accredited through HLC and I'm sure they will all get otherwise accredited at ...

About Baker losing their accreditation...well, every campus is different, so I don't know anything about the Clinton Township campus and what issues they may have. Other campuses seem to be in the process of moving through the process. Otherwise, al...

No, you're not mistaken. NLNAC accreditation is a voluntary process, and there are many schools not on the list, including OU, U of D, etc. There is another link within the NLNAC website that shows you a list of what schools have applied to begin the...

Hi nursestyle1, I can't help you with CT, but I'm about 5 weeks from my nurse pinning for the PN program at AH. I just wanted to let you know that, if you don't get into CT or decide taking the 3-quarter bridge might be better, the first class of RNs...

It's been a great program. Like any other nursing program, there is a ton to learn and it has been tough to keep up at times. Plus, you really will have little time for anything else, but we were all forewarned at orientation. :) Really, it has been ...

Hi gypsy76, I'm actually getting ready to graduate from the program in August, but since the program starts on 6/30, applicants should be hearing pretty soon. I'm actually surprised it hasn't happened yet. Did you put down your email address in your...

I received my acceptance email for the Baker College, Auburn Hills, LPN program last night, which starts in September 2009, and I just wondered if there were any others here who were accepted? So far, I only know of 4 of us, who all took A&P I an...

LauJen, I now realize that you're not the one who was talking about difficulty getting accepted, etc. I will, however, leave the info for interested others. :)

Hi Anne36, The requirements to stay in the program are that you achieve, at minimum, 84% (B-) for each class. Getting 1 wrong would not cause a fail. However, each quarter they give us a drug calculation quiz that you must get 100% on before you're a...

Hi LauJen, Like many nursing programs, ours is tough. There is a lot to learn, especially in the first quarter, which can make it stressful. Of course, they need to get you prepared for your first clinicals. I felt well-prepared for going to clinical...

I'm sure I couldn't provide you with much info - especially since I don't go to the same school and program - but if this is what you want to do, you'll make sure you do what you need to get through it. I really look forward to beginning work as an L...

Private colleges are definitely more than the community colleges. I go to a private college here in MI and will be starting my PN (LPN) program on Monday. The total tuition cost of the program is $16,185, which includes pre-req classes. However, ther...

Okay, I just have to respond to your post here, Heather, because I'm offended. In an earlier post, you say that students at Baker are mean or whatever and there is drama, etc., especially the older ones. Well, I'm an older female student at Baker, an...

Baker College Auburn Hills has an LPN program. There is no waitlist; you either get accepted or not. If not, you apply again next enrollment period. Right now, they only accept 30 people a year, but I think they're trying to get approved for a second...

Hi Carebear, It has been quite a while since you posted this, but first, I saw the LPN-RN on the open class list for fall, so that is great that you're able to continue on. :) Plus, I just got accepted to the LPN program starting in Sept. (I was emai...

I'm thrilled to say that I just received my acceptance on Thursday, and I will be starting in an LPN program in September. I wish everyone the best of luck in their programs :) As for the post above me, I'll be doing the same...staying away from the...

Hi bluecalmsea, I just received my acceptance email last night for an LPN program starting in September, but had recently purchased a secondhand "Nursing Student Success Made Incredibly Easy" and have a few others I would like to get. The one I have ...

Hi April: I am going to Baker Auburn Hills. While I don't qualify for subsidized loans or grants, I have had non-subsidized Stafford loans since I started in September 2007. It was really quite simple, in that I just had to fill out the FAFSA when I...
