Pensacola Christian College

Realistically, nursing programs are very difficult, because it is impossible to learn it all before entering the workforce as a fully competent nurse. So much of the real education and learning comes with future experience. My college days cannot be described as "fun." It was difficult, and now that I am receiving my masters in Nursing education, I am writing a paper on trying to retain students in nursing programs. So many do not have a clear picture of the motivation and effort they will have to put forth in order to succeed in college. My saving grace was Biblical principles, Christian friends, and a very supportive environment.

You won't find a nicer campus with facilities that most colleges would drool over. Pensacola is a southern armpit - not the colleges fault the city is backwards. Nicest thing in the city is the college. The college cost is uncomparable. Although a majority of this cost is false-front due to the major dollars Abeka book pours into the college. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Also, this college has never once come after me as an alumnus asking for money. Now THAT is rare and respectable. Upper level administration appears to treat people (faculty, former students) like pawns then stands back befuddled about not being able to generate loyalty...odd they haven't figured out the loyalty thing yet. Acredidation never posed a problem for me and I was completely capable of advancing to grad school in two institutions, one secular, one private. Basically it boils down to brains, not alma mater. Hortons and Mullenix need to go - their iron grip well into their senior senile years is beginning to show and will probably destroy the institution unless they get some young blood and vitality. Beemer would have been a nice keep - one of many administrative oops's
