  1. Baker College Nursing Fall 2010

    LauJen replied to bella8's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The nursing secretary/office staff (not allowed to put names on here) that is the first person you speak with when you call told me that info. She's very honest if you talk to her calmly and like a...

    LauJen replied to LauJen's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Yeah, I saw that Lisa, but wasn't exactly sure what it meant (credit wise). The wednesday class sounds fine to me (for August), so as long as it's still open by the time I'm allowed to register, I...

  3. Baker College Nursing Fall 2010

    LauJen replied to bella8's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Well, it is true that you can have a score of over 24 (I do, with the 24.27), because you get the extra point when you re-apply. The cut off for the spring was in fact a 23.75, which is pretty...

  4. Baker College Nursing Fall 2010

    LauJen replied to bella8's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I re-applied there (24.27) before I found out that I made it into Macomb.... so technically I'm still waiting on my Baker letter, but I won't be attending there even if I do make it. What rumors are...

    LauJen replied to LauJen's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Congrats to those early starters! That was what I wanted... August start with St. John Mack/Moross.... I live in Grosse Pointe, so it's close. Hopefully I'll get to start there in March. Lisa -...

    LauJen replied to LauJen's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Well Lisa, I'm glad I'll at least have you with me! She said I would move up if people dropped out, but I did the math, and I need about 15-18 people to leave the program for a january start (151...

    LauJen replied to LauJen's topic in Michigan Nursing

    And Murph, I had a 3.7 something GPA and an 89 on the HESI, and I ranked 151, so, sounds like you may be somewhere around

    LauJen replied to LauJen's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Well, call and give her your name then if you really need to find

  9. Macomb Community Graduates 2012-13

    LauJen replied to LauJen's topic in Michigan Nursing

    No, they didn't get mad. The "office staff" (they wont let me post names on here) is a realllly nice person, and she said people have been calling all day, and that she's use to it. Just call and give...

  10. Macomb Community Graduates 2012-13

    LauJen replied to LauJen's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Well, I just called the office, and she told me that I'm a March start.... I asked for the earliest possible date, but since I ranked 151, obviously I didn't have a lot of room to be asking for...

    My letter didn't come today But my friend that ranked 89 and asked for an August start date got an October

    LauJen replied to LauJen's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Yeah, there was no reason for me to run out and get my CPR cert last week, especially since I ranked so low, but I have a toddler, and I learned a lot in the class that I could use if need

  13. Macomb Community Graduates 2012-13

    LauJen replied to LauJen's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Yeah, I saw all those folders, but I'm just saying I'm kinda surprised that 13 people didn't even the seat at all. Considering how hard it is to get in these days, I would think every single person...

  14. Macomb Community Graduates 2012-13

    LauJen replied to LauJen's topic in Michigan Nursing

    So, apparently, word on the street is that they've already taken in 13 alternates? My friend ranked #201, and they stop the alternate list at 200. She called to see if she had been moved up to the...

  15. Has anyone heard of LPN school called Nexcare Institute?

    LauJen replied to booboohead's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Taking your boards and getting a job are also different. Hospitals obviously look at where your degree/certificate is coming from. Clearly they would hire someone from a reputable school over someone...

  16. Has anyone heard of LPN school called Nexcare Institute?

    LauJen replied to booboohead's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Approval and accreditation are 2 totally different things. Accreditation is very important, and I wouldn't pay 15 grand if the school doesn't have it, sorry. Baker has been seeking accreditation for...

    LauJen replied to gypsy76's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Thanks, I think I'm going to be happy at MCC. Have you decided where you're going to go

  19. Transferring from Baker College of Owosso...but where do I go?

    LauJen replied to gypsy76's topic in Michigan Nursing

    It is a competitive program, and they absolutely do not mention how hard it is to get in. I attended Baker Clinton Twp., and although I have a score that I'm sure I would get in with this fall (24.27...

  20. Macomb Community Graduates 2012-13

    LauJen replied to LauJen's topic in Michigan Nursing

    So, I just called the office in regards to the start date letter, was told she was "working on them right now"... so I said, "Does than mean we'll hopefully be getting them within the next week?" And...

  21. Has anyone heard of LPN school called Nexcare Institute?

    LauJen replied to booboohead's topic in Michigan Nursing

    No, they will not hire anyone from an unaccredited school. If you look at available job summaries on hospital websites, it says under requirements, "Graduation from an accredited school." Plus, why...

    LauJen replied to LauJen's topic in Michigan Nursing

    hahaha oh no lisa! until you said that though, I didn't even realize that's probably why my lower back hurts today! I thought it was maybe from the heels I wore last night, but it must have been all...

    LauJen replied to LauJen's topic in Michigan Nursing

    586-726-2587 - Thats the number I called. They'll let you know what days they offer it (and it sounds like there's one on July 17th?) - it was $55, and you can pay over the phone with a credit

    LauJen replied to LauJen's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Zhockeymom77 and I took that BLS class yesterday, and there were 2 instructors. We had Kevin, and he was VERY nice, easy going, and he knew what he was talking about. I highly recommend him if you...
