When I say competency-based, I’m referring to them being a pass/fail school. They do not have a traditional grading system like other schools. You get a 3.0 regardless. The “pass” grade you get for each course comes down to a 3.0. I do agree that other professionals have a more difficult path depending on the subject. However, whether nursing school is hard or not is totally subjective. And good for you on your TEAS score!

Also, when I checked the TBON, Concordia and WGU both had a 100% NCLEX pass rate last year. 

I’m keeping it real.  Almost anyone can do this degree.  I encourage everyone that wants to do it to do it.  They’ll pass.  I’m 100 percent for the student getting what they paid for. A lot of these schools aren’t good and they charge Ivy League prices to get over on people who are desperate or too anxious.  They got me, and I finish next month.  I am not happy with what I paid for.  You guys forget, we are the customers.  We pay their bills they don’t pay hours.

Why did you decide to pursue Concordia? Did you get accepted to other programs? I can imagine with your TEAS score, you could’ve gotten into plenty of cheaper programs that are reputable.

I did not go to Concordia.  I go to another school that is not good.  I did it because I did not want to wait 9 months for the next start date at a better program.  Time was my motivation.  If you have time, don't do it.  I know about Concordia because I was looking into them.  That's how I knew about their schools closing on the West Coast.  My school got bought out by another company.  If that didn't happen, we would have been the next Brightwood.  I'm just glad my school didn't close.

If you didn’t go to Concordia then you shouldn’t have anything bad to say about it. I attend Concordia’s nursing program and it is a good program in my opinion.

I am currently in my first semester of the program. The program is in no way easy. I have never heard someone say nursing school is easy. I spoke to other nurses who graduated from the program and they said that the school prepared them. The school is tough, you need to really work for your grades and to maintain your spot in the program. If you’re a disciplined student you’ll make it through, if not, you won’t. 

 

Hi! Nice to hear you are currently enrolled in the program. If you don't mind me asking how is the program going for you? I got accepted into the Spring entry date and just looking to speak to anyone whos graduated or is currently in the program. Goodluck with the rest of your coursework!

Hi Everyone,

I am reaching out to you because I was a previous student in the program(NY) . I would like to  first inform you that this program IS NOT a breeze. When I went in to my info session the faculty members seemed very supportive and there to help you, however, it is all BS. Once you first start the program you are basically on your own and have to figure everything out yourself. I was in a class with 78 students and it went down to literally 50 once a couple people failed the first two classes in the first semester. I ended up dropping out of the program because of the awful faculty, ridiculous tuition, and just the overall bad experience. Also Concordia is currently under probation because they don't have enough money to fund for the school so they will most likely close by Summer 2021 according to the school officials. So watch out everyone!!

Where can I find this information that they are under probation?  Also can you elaborate on your bad experience please?

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a forum for the Spring 2021 cohort yet?

did anyone else get accepted into this program for Spring 21?
