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:

Hi everyone, I'm part of the July group and the new curriculum schedule. Our first semester included A&P 1 and Microbiology, both of those classes will be with Dr. O for the incoming class. There's also College Success and Algebra for those who haven't taken it. The following semester is A&P 2 as well as Patho, both again with Dr.O. Orientation is about 6 hours or more, with lots of things covered. Let me know if you have any specific questions.

Thanks for responding. I would like to know how many days a week was your patho class? Is comp. apps online? Thanks

No the comp applications class is Thursdays on campus for us from 6-10pm. The patho is one day a week from 9am-12am on Fridays, but it's a blended class so half of it is online. Please know that because this is a new program, you aren't guaranteed to get the same schedule though. For instance the September class will have Microbiology on grounds, where as we had it all online. Also you won't get uniforms until about halfway through the semester. Once you get them though, you will have to wear them every time you have class.

@britishnomore Thanks! I was worried about the Patho class. I work on friday so that was a concern for me. I will make it work though. Hummmm uniforms? Where will I get them from, how many will I need? Oh let me guess orientation. LOL Seems like everything will come together during orientation. Thank You again for your help.

You fill out a size form at orientation and they give everyone one set of uniforms a semester, minus the jacket. You can order more if you wish. Although I will tell you this, please be careful when speaking of your schedule. We have one student in our class now that is horrible about complaining, not making it to class on time ect. This has made the professors extremely sensitive. I'm sure that's not the case here, but I wanted to give you a heads up before orientation. Also we are graded on attendance to class and you lose points if you are late. It's made working crazy for me!

hello. I have a ton of questions. what does your gpa have to be to get in? how long does the acceptance process take to get in and is it hard? are the classes really challenging? I am giving a lot of thought to applying there but i have not heard the best things about the school.

junitajj,

No problem! I won't be at tomorrow's orientation because I'm out of the country, so I'll be attending a make-up session before classes start. Hope tomorrow goes well and, as you said, that all the details and information finally come full circle!

Hello, I don't know what you could have really heard negative that's true, our first RN class has not even graduated yet. The gpa minimum seems to be at least a 3.0, unless you have something seriously in your favor to help out. You get in based on raw scores, plus gpa, plus interview, and finally your attendance/financial plan. It's an expensive school and they aren't monsters for wanting to make sure you have a plan to keep you successful. It is a hard school, even more so with ten week semesters. We have had 5 people drop this first semester alone and the class graduating lost half of their members. The biggest thing to remember is this program is new. They are SACS accredited and once they have NCLEX scores they will also being accredited through national nursing association. Every school must do this trial period. The only real negative thing I've heard is the money, but show me another school that does all your core classes and your nursing classes in 18 months.
