   I took Micro through Edukan/Pratt too. It was super convenient class. I don't remember specifically who my professor was, but they were quick to respond whenever I had a question. I would highly recommend taking Micro this way. Just FYI there was a lab component where you would have to culture, grown and identify bacteria virtually, then write a paper about it. Sounds difficult, but it really wasn't.

   I have a 3.6 GPA, but it's only based on your GPA from the prerequisites needed for the course, not total. They use a points system for acceptance into the program. Yes I took the Kaplan. The Kaplan study guide is only good for the reading comprehension part, don't study anything else out of it, it's not on the test. I actually found some online study material that was much more helpful for the science and math. That Kaplan book is a waste of money. Best of luck to you.

   Go for it. They told us in orientation that they are accepted by all 50 states' boards of nursing. There are a few that require more clinical hours than others and they are working with those individuals to get those accomplished. Best of luck to you.

   I got a 34.5, if I remember correctly on the rubric. I received the letter on 10/15 and I live in Georgia. Didn't pay attention when it was postmarked. There may still be a chance. I would imagine they'd let people know either way.

   JenSande, I got the rubric from Becky today. My total score is 34.5. Now it's just a waiting game. Fingers crossed and prayers said. Good luck to you too.

   Thanks JenSande. My GPA on my prerequisites is 3.45. I took the Kaplan twice, the first time I didn't do very well. Especially on the writing, but studied like crazy then took it again and greatly improved. I watched quite a few things on youtube on reading and the writing. It really helped. The Kaplan prep book was completely useless except for the reading comprehension, but I could've gotten the same information another way without buying the book. Thank you for the information. Wish we didn't have to wait so long before we find out if we made it or not.

   Hi janelane213 and JenSande, I have been following your posts for this thread. I have also applied to Hutch in July for next years LPN to RN online program. I mailed my application in the last week of July. I had to wait because I did my last prerequisite during the summer semester. I haven't been in contact with Becky, since taking the Kaplan. Man was the science part of that hard. I haven't seen the rubric, but would love to if either one of you would mind passing it along to me. I live near Atlanta, Georgia so I'm also an out of state applicant. Hoping that doesn't make a difference. My total overall score on the Kaplan was 84%. Which I don't think is that great, but it'll have to do. Hoping we all get in. Best of luck. My email is nurse397@aol.com
