PREREQUISITE WARNING!!!!!! If you take/plan to take prerequisites with CUSON in the hopes of transferring, make note of the following: their prerequisites are listed as NURSING classes not SCIENCE classes.

Most nursing programs WILL NOT accept “nursing” credits from another college, even Columbia. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY taking nursing school prereqs here unless your future college will accept the credits. Other name-brand colleges are listing their science prerequisite courses as Nursing courses as well. BE CAREFUL!

TUITION SCAM OF THE CENTURY

Agree with everything Mary Jane said above👆the nursing school is filled with a bunch of out of touch administrators who haven’t worked in an actual hospital in decades. They care more about the relationship with the hospitals than their students. Frankly students just equal $$$ to them. This school forever traumatized me. I wish I would’ve listened to someone before me who told me the exact same things and avoided CUSON.

What a nightmare! The program director of the Masters Direct Entry (MDE) Program--Heidi Hahn Schroeder (HHS)--and the clinical director--Candice Smith--should be enough to avoid this program. Unsupportive, accusatory, abuse of power! Completely unorganized, unqualified "teacher" nurses who make up problems, have a superiority complex, are unsupportive, and actually grade fraud. Get your RN elsewhere. Terrible school! Avoid!

Overpriced program with many lazy and disorganized professors. They rake in the tuition and get away with lowest quality education. Shameless!

Wish I could review higher but am absolutely shocked at the lack of support this school gives to their alumni. My daughter graduated with her masters. Her last class was August 10, 2019. Columbia did not provide her with her transcript for her to apply for her license for over 70 (SEVENTY) days! She was unable to even APPLY to take her licensing exam for 70 days, and actually longer because now the state she lives in has to process that paperwork! Nursing residency starts November 11. My daughter is still waiting for the paperwork to get processed so she can apply to take the licensing exam. She may not be able to become a nurse until after March 2020 - 7 months after taking her last class from this school. Absolutely ridiculous. Think twice before attending this school! No support whatsoever!
