Bauder College Pleasant Surprise

[HopefulNurse2011]

So I had a VERY NEGATIVE initial contact with this college. Through just ONE conversation it's apparent that this school is a for-profit. After calling the school I was transferred to their Atlanta campus...The guy answered the phone "are you coming to a information session" which COMPLETELY through me off....no hello, thank you for calling Atlanta...blah blah etc.. it was INFO session info session. He continued to cut me off, avoid all questions. and even got SNAPPY with me. Their customer service is absolutely a turn off and I don't believe this school will be a top choice for me. smh some people do not need to be in customer service... I could NOT believe this guy. Take a PTO day if you don't want to work.

lfriese-I am just beginning the process of applying for the program and would like to know if you are aware of any forms of assistance as far as help covering the cost of the program. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated,

The Finanical Aid office can assist with that info

There's a lot of resources that they have. I only know of grants and loan.

Hi soffehe,

I haven't checked thread til today. I am in my 2nd term; Patho and Computer aps. Clinicals start next term, so I am not sure about how many days they will be. I have class on Thurs. and Fri., but it depends on which classes you need as to how many days you will be in class. Sorry that I can't really help with your question.

[soffehe]

No that helped thanks.... How long is the patho? I am just trying to setup daycare and it beco Ed hard when you really do not have a schedule. I will be taking computer apps and patho only... Computer apps online? Thanks for getting back to me :$

[soffehe]

Sorry my phone types you know whatever it thinks I am trying to say :) I was saying it becomes hard to make arrangements when you do not have a future schedule.

Kaplan test is given

[Rnhopefull]

Thanks soffehe. Do you know when that test is given, how long it is and how hard it is? Also, does anyone know how long the info sessions lasts? Ive heard different things. Ms Lanier at the college said 45 minutes but ive heard on the upper end of 3 hours. Any comment will help. Thanks!

Rnhopefull or anyone who has been through the information session,

I just wanted to know if you can tell me about the information session. I'm schedule to attend the information session on March 28th. I wanted to know what to expect on the 28th. Will I be tested during the session? what to expect?

@ RNhopefull and to all others. I went to the information session tonight. When I arrived there I was told by Ms. Lanier that since my name was not on the list, I must wait with the other students in the lobby sitting area. I say this because you need to make sure that Ms. Lanier has your name on the list, before you arrive. After a few minutes, me and the other students were allowed to come into the information session. It was very informative; however, for the RN program, the total cost is around $40,000 for an 18 month program. To me, that is really expensive for an ADN and some other students were concerned about the price as well. Ms Lanier gave the breakdown of the program, and the Director of Financial aid was there as well to inform students to make sure that know if they have any outstanding loans or loans that are overlapping. I forgot to mention that the information session started at 630 p.m. They took some of us on the tour of the school and the nursing lab while others went to the library to take the Wonderlic test. I did not leave until 9 p.m. so please plan on staying at least 2 hours. In order for you to proceed, prospective Lpns need at least 21 to pass and ADN hopefuls need at least a 24 to pass. They also go over how many times you can take the Wonderlic test. I am happy to say that I made a 24 on the Wonderlic. The next step is you meet with Ms. Lanier and she schedules you to take the Kaplan test which is given every friday at 10 a.m. on their campus. It is 2 1/2 hours long and you need a picture ID. When you first pass the Wonderlic test, she will forward you an email with a practice/study guide in pdf. form for you to down load and to print. It is about 60 pages and I would suggest you print and study. From there, you will be scheduled for your interview. So to all the hopeful nurses who want to go to Bauder College, Good luck to you all and stay blessed!
