Warning about Columbia State.

[LolaLola]

I wanted to get the word out to potential nursing students about a school to avoid. I am in the program at Columbia State and it has been a miserable experience for me and all my fellow students. Most of us have a bachelor's degree and are not new to academia but have never experienced teachers like what is at this school. Teachers outside the nursing program have been fine but the nursing instructors are the worst. They have nothing but disdain and disgust for all students and are completely unresponsive and dismissive and it seems to be their goal to fail as many as possible. We are all for hard work and are willing to study as much as it takes but the tests relate very little to either the book or lecture. Most people are at Columbia State because it is the cheapest way to get an RN but I think you get what you pay for. I talk to students at Belmont and Aquinas and they don't have the same issues we do at all. I wish someone had warned me about what I was about to face so I thought I would stick my neck out here and maybe help someone avoid the problems we have had to face.

Credentials only. Read some of the other posts. You will be able to get a feel of what they look for.

I got my letter of acceptance yesterday for Spring 2011 - I'm thrilled!

FWIW, I have a BA in Art, Sociology minor; 24 ACT; 3.87 GPA - my A&P 1 & 2 grades were As.

Good luck to all... and I have to say, this thread began - and addressed a problem which was rectified - over a year ago. The reputation this CC enjoys is hard earned and very well respected in the workplace. Again - I'm thrilled to have been accepted.

So I applied to Columbia State's ADN program this month.

My GPA is 3.27 and ACT score is 19. I earned a B in both A&P courses and I am currently enrolled in Micro and Psych 203 and so far doing well in those classes.

What do you think my chances are of being picked?
