Bauder College Pleasant Surprise

U.S.A. Georgia

Published

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.:rolleyes:

Hello all!

I was wondering if there were any students that started the program last year that have either completed or are almost through with the adn program at bauder..I'm looking into several different nursing programs but 98% are already full and/or aren't accepting again until MUCH MUCH later..Sad, considering there is such a shortage of nurses but not enough accommodating resources to prospective students..

I started the program and in Feb 2012. I am in fundamentals and Pharm now....What do you want to know? It is a good program and the Kaplan testing support programs are really good....it is hard not easy but exciting....

When do you expect to finish? Have you taken any prereqs yet? What about the students who have already completed the program since last year? Have you spoken to any of them and how they did on the NCLEX..? Did they feel well prepared?

Hi everyone! I attended the information session today and I took the initial Wonderlic. I scored a 21. I'm really trying to get into the RN program. Do you guys have any suggestions on anything I could do to increase my score?

Good Evening. I took the Kaplan Test today, and was wondering does anyone remember what the requirements were to pass and move on to the nursing program? I was wanting to do the ADN program. I did good on the wonderlic and don't know why I am worrying about the KTP but was curious if anyone knew.

Hey! Good luck on the Kaplan test. It is about 2 1/2 hours. Although the test is divided into sections, you move to the next section whenever you are done with the one you are presently taking. I would advise not to spend to much time on one section though. Some people were done a lot faster than others. They are supposed to give you a study guide to go over to get familiar with the layout of the test and sample questions.

It is something along the lines of missing no more than 8-10 questions on each section. As long as you review the study guide they provided for you you should do well. It is simple and you can self-teach by the layout of the practice questions.

I'm starting the program in September and I must say the staff are really very helpful. It is pretty pricey coming in to the program, but after financial aid and about 42 credits transferring in, the price has dropped drastically. All together I may come out with $17,000 loans to pay back. It is a for-profit school so I'm not surprised. But the thing to hold on to and keep you motivated is that by the time you are done with school and pass your test for the nclex-rn, you will land a job almost immediately and the very first year at bear minimum you will be making $48,000 to $60,000 and that's for an adn..If you continue going to school (bsn or msn) you only increase your value with a higher degree in hand and more work experience. Loans are here to help us. At some point or the other we all use them. How do you think doctors make it? Everyone isn't born with a silver spoon in their mouths. My doctor told me that when he graduated medical school he was pushing $400,000 in debt. And now he makes that amount in 1 year. Do not get discouraged people. You are making an investment in your future. The longer you wait to do it. The harder it will be in the longrun.

Have faith :nurse:
