Wolford College CRNA February 2016 entry

BigPappaCRNA · May 1, 2016

Simply not true. I know two students finishing a doctorate at other colleges. Additionally, the fact that the current standard of practice is a masters degree, so once you graduate with a masters, you have it, and they can't take it back (despite the common nightmare of this happening). If what you are saying is true, none of the graduates would be able to take boards, but contrary to what you are saying, all graduates take the boards. So really, this argument is #1, not factual, it is misleading; #2, the amount of students who intend to continue in a doctorate program is, percentage wise, pretty small, further negating your efforts to smear Wolford.

You seem to be misguided, and I would not want others listening to you making expensive and difficult life choices. A Master's degree from Wolford is only worth what any other facility is willing to accept. Since it is not from a regionally accredited university, some schools DO NOT recognize it. Some do. Most don't. If you wanted to be a faculty member of a regionally accredited university, you would not be allowed, based on the lack of having a real degree.

Now some programs will accept your degree, for the purposes of furthering another degree, and why wouldn't they? Lots of money flowing to them. Most will not, again, because your degree is not regionally accredited. Why play russian roulette with your future? Also, why one currently can take boards and practice, that may not always be the case. At any time, a states BON can, and quite likely will, say that APN's must graduate from a regionally accredited university. There will be no grandfathering. You either have the degree or you do not. If indeed Wolford does get accredited at a later date, all degrees issued previously are still up in the air, potentially worthless.

If after all this, someone still wants to apply and attend, by all means, feel free. As long as you are doing so with your eyes wide open, and full of accurate information, it is your decision alone. I just know that if I was paying 100K for my degree, I would like to have have ZERO doubts as to its worth and acceptance nationally, but hey, thats just me.

@BigPappaCRNA can you provide proof of your claims please, because I can't find anywhere where their program costs 100k. The cost is around the high 50s, which from what I've seen is the norm for most CRNA programs. Also the part where a state's BON can, and quite likely will, like say that APN's must graduate from a regionally accredited university which will render degrees attained potentially worthless; and all of the claims that you have made on multiple forums. You could be subject to libel if you were knowingly involved in calumny of a subject.

I'm not refuting any of what you are claiming, rather I would simply appreciate it if you could please provide proof for what you are claiming because they are quite hefty. Thanks in advance!

Pretty much look at the jobs available if they say graduate of an accredited school as of now wolford is not accredited by sacs which is a new coa requirement. I turned my interview there down and got into fgcu. They told me they were getting a visit from sacs but they still haven't come. I know two graduates they highly suggested against this institution. Word of advice.

youre a shoo-in at wolford, don't worry...

What do u mean exactly?

Is there anyone that wouldn't mind sharing their credentials to their acceptance? Such as their gpa, gre, and experience. I only have a 3.1-3.2 gpa in my BSN and I am curious to see if admission is possible with a competitive enough GRE score.

I looking at applying as well. Would love to hear if anyone else is applying. Also, would love to hear from current students in the program how things are. Thanks in advance for the input!

I think wolford might be on their way out. I applied and they cancelled my interview said they are not accepting students at this time. COA didnt approve them either. I feel bad for the students there.
