I picked up my application for the LPN to ADN program at Baker yesterday (EEKKKK!!!! :lol2:) It says I will have to take the Kaplan Fundamentals - 75 questions/90 minutes and the Transition test 86 questions/104 minutes...I have been googling lik...

I am in!!! Who else got in??? Anybody else on board with starting a fb page???

Did you work while attending??

What school are you at?? I had to take an 'entrance exam' to get into my bridge program even though I have been working. It was basically on Fundamentals and Transitions...it was just like taking the NCLEX tho..pretty challenging I must say!!

Agreed. Best lesson I ever learned that was not taught in nursing school. I get picked on by other nurses because I chart and document so much but I will tell you this, I have had to go head to head with the State of MI as well as surveyors and my ...

I am at Baker College and we have to maintain a B average. When I went to OCC for my LPN it was a C. I would think those who are upset are obviously those who want to skate by and not put much effort into it which when they get out and licensed (if...

I have been in similar situations and have on several occasions taken a break in the courtyard of the facility with a couple of my high risk residents. I would pull my paper charting and the my two lil ladies who could not seem to keep themselves of...

Has anyone out there received acceptance via email into Baker's nursing program?? If so how long after grades posted did you recieve it?? I am totally freaking out here! Trying to make job move decisions, set up care for my kids, and totally work...

OH NO!!! That really sucks...I am so sorry! They are extremely disorganized over there...I think they think that communication is overrated!! So sorry again....

Hey hopesgramcracker I am so glad you got in!!! Guess I will see you on the 12th! That office was so disorganized, I hope it gets better as the program goes along!! Super excited to start!!!!

Thanks!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! I know you feel better!!!!

Which email did it go to?? your regular or your baker???

I started my LPN program in January and was pregnant with our first who was born the week before my first clinicals started. I had 6 weeks left at that point, I had the option to start again in the fall but I pushed through driving my 2 week old bab...

I wonder if they have any idea how frustrating this wait is......

I am LPN to RN and since they changed everything, pharm doesn't count for me anymore which really kind of made me mad considering I already had it at OCC on top of taking 3 other classes....UGH! So if I wanted to figger it out I would add my gpa for ...

We were done the 26th too but grades didn't have to be posted until yesterday. My packet stated there would be an email after grades were posted, followed by an official letter the first week of September. I'm dying here!!! :eek:

What about the double weighted GPA courses....i.e. A&P, patho, holistics...

UGH!! I am at Auburn Hills. They said they would send emails after grades posted....I am just not coping well with the uncertainty. I am pretty confident but you never with Baker!!!!

See!! I feel weird too, but like nerdtonurse was saying, you really have to take it on a patient by patient basis. If you haven't already learned this, DOCUMENT DOCUMENT DOCUMENT!!!! Sometimes patients get these crazy ideas in their head and as lon...

Was it scheduled or PRN?? A patient with a scheduled pain med should be woken up to administer, but if it is a PRN pain med and you assessed her as being comfortable, i.e. sleeping , then I would say you did your best. True, just because a patient i...

BAAHHHAAA!!!!! I prefer Vitamin Bud Lite! I don't know, b/c I never had this problem. I never gave a moments thought to a patent after I left their room, lol. I'd suggest exercise or meditation. Really?? You have never had one situation or case tha...

I absolutely agree!!! I have real issues with giving up control but I had to give up a lot of stuff to my husband. I have a pretty good system for myself that I have worked out where I do as much as I can within that first week of class once I get m...

BRUTAL!! Just kidding!! I would be comparable to your 5 classes and working two jobs. When I did my LPN, I did it pregnant (started preggers, delivered, ended preggers, took NCLEX preggers) and I worked full time. Albeit, I worked at home as a med...

and i am so ready for them!!!

I am inches away from acceptance into a LPN to ADN program but my job is really pitiful and pathetic. The job I was hired to do is not the job I am doing and I miss being nurse. I know that I am going to have to quit when I get in and have worked ...
