Anyone attending wolford college spring 2018 class?

I really wish if someone who really graduated out from this program testify about it.

Me too. There was a large thread several years ago between some unhappy students and happy ones in Healthline. It provided better information from people that actually knew first hand.

I'm actually planning to come down to the school in December and take a look at it myself . Hope to see you there then !! Do you know when the students are up for Christmas break?

More false info from someone that has "heard" all about it. Yawn.

Explain to me what I said is false? They did in fact lose their accreditation and if you think being in a program that so recently lost their accreditation is a good thing then I'm not sure what else to tell you.

No, they didn't. They needed to be reviewed and are now doing so under Keiser, who has already provided their umbrella of regional accreditation. COA review is next and will be complete in short order. The main problem here is why the peanut gallery says "was" happening under Wolford. Mostly bogus information, yet some mistakes were obviously made. Guess what? It isn't Wolford anymore. It's Keiser and the program is being completely revamped. We can go around on this for days, as it seems people live to bash this program, but I'm gonna now out and we'll just wait and see.

While some of the facts/opinions may be fuzzy or debatable, one thing holds true based on this discussion. The school (Wolford/Wilford/Keiser) has a long way to go to repair it's image on the national anesthesia front. I ONLY see attending this school if you live in the continental USA and literally can't get in anywhere else OR if you live in the local Florida area and cannot get into the other school there (which has exponentially cheaper in-state tuition).

I get that everyone wants to think their program is/was the best. But it ain't true! 99.9% of programs are what you make them. 0.01% are economic shams wanting to produce anesthesia etherbots that have less independence than an experienced critical care nurse.

Ask yourself... the following are YOU planning and executing the anesthetic plan? This includes preoperative assessment and postoperative management. OR are YOU reading a note written by a medical doktor and following orders? Doing the anesthesia does not just mean intubating or doing the spinal.

Already answered this. Already stated the entire thing is geared towards independent practice. You already proved you don't know much about the program at all through your posts. When you get into one, give me a holler and we'll compare.

I don't have a dog in this fight, as I don't know enough about it, and thus can't offer an opinion.

Only thing I can offer for people is to look up the schools, requirements, degrees, case and anesthesia hours that the COA provides here, and do your own research and make up your mind what you want.

Here is a FACT for you:

If you graduate from Wolford/Keiser with a MS or DNAP just be prepared for that degree NOT to be recognized by another college considering Wolford is NOT regionally accredited. Wolford is literally the only CRNA program in the country that is NOT regionally accredited. The only accreditation they hold is the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) from Florida.

So if you graduated from them with a Masters it will not be recognized by just about any school because they all only look at degrees that came from an actual accredited program.

Edit: If you would like to fact check this I suggest going online to any other college or university and look up a DNP post-masters program. It will require a Masters degree from an ACCREDITED program which means regionally accredited and not one that just has SACS.

The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) IS a REGIONAL ACCREDITOR which monitors, evaluates, and accredits education institutions in the states of Virginia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, and Texas.

passing gas may be right when it comes to WOLFORD (rip) accreditation. Not so much when it comes to Keiser University who is both approved regionally by SACS and COA. Do your research people.
