My time at Motlow was one I would rather forget. Advisors are supposed to help you with your academic problems and try to put you on the right path, that was not the case with me. I was only given 50% of the right information, which put me in trouble with my earned/attempted hours, now I am having constant trouble with financial aid. That was just the beginning.

The next issue was the nursing program. I have been a flight medic in the military, an EMT for twelve years and finished all of my pre-recs, even the sciences with As and Bs. All I had to do was take the six core nursing classes and still could not get into the program. I had a good enough GPA(3.2) to get in and a high enough score on the HESI. But I guess with all that experience, high enough scores, and completion of EVERYTHING, they didn't deem me fit to be part of their program three times. Here is the part that I don't get, my friend, who got in with no problem, was a construction worker with no experience and a 4.0 GPA. There is a major problem with the way they pick people. They need to find a better way of doing things, it is ridiculous. I was told by many nursing students that if they had it to do over again, they would go somewhere else. I guess I made the right decision by going somewhere else and got accepted into a great nursing program after one attempt.

The straw that broke the camels back was, when again, I was told the wrong the wrong information, this time by the financial aid office. First of all I was told I would be contacted by a rep and never was. After a couple days later, I had to call them back. I needed some very important paperwork and was told it was available to receive. After being on the road for hours, coming back from vacation, we went out of our way by at least 30-40 miles to the main campus to pick up the paperwork only to be told they didn't and could not obtain it. I was given the excuse "after so many years, it gets archived" and destroyed. Well to the best of my knowledge, ARCHIVED means it's ARCHIVED. They might not have it there, but it's ARCHIVED somewhere, RIGHT. Archived and destroyed are two different things. That type of incompetence led me to write this.

My experience was worth at least one star... I guess. If you decide to go to this school, I wish you luck and hope you hav9e
a better experience.
