Reviews of Donnelly College (College)

Liz Medina

Graduated here in 2015. Small classes, teachers realIy care for their students, and I love how students can work here too! I absolutely love this place-its like a small family, I was sad to go. I spent four years here doing my pre-reqs for nursing. Only thing is there isn't a lot of classes offered here so I had to go to other colleges while still going here. Another thing is I had to do everything on my own. When I first started thinking about nursing I didn't know where to start and what I had to do. All I knew was that I wanted to go straight for my bachelor's. One of the advisors sent me to go talk to the nursing dept. All the nursing advisor (she no longer works there) was trying to do is convince me to do the LPN program. Once I told her that I wasn't interested in that, that I needed help with what pre-reqs to take, what schools had BSN programs, etc she told me she couldn't help me at all! From that moment on, I had to do my own research -look for schools, what classes to take, how to apply, which required teas test. I even had students interested in nursing come up to me to help them with the process. Overall, it's a great college in the middle of the city..only thing, give some direction to students. There are other transfer universities besides UMKC.

Its a terrible school, the nursing programs is horrible . They are only concerned about getting your money then they will make sure you miss a point so that they can drop you out and keep your money .The so called professors are not qualified The head of the program Maureen is rude and arrogant. Don't waste your money or your time.

I absolutely loved the staff of Donnelly. Pretty much everyone there is out to help you succeed in all that you do. However, if you are going for a nursing degree, I would recommend going somewhere else. I lived in the dorms above the nursing department in Marion Hall and didn't have any problems except when I went down to the only floor with a water fountain to get fresh, cold water. Patty, the head of the nursing department, repeatedly berated me for coming on "her floor" and told me I wasn't allowed there. After I brought my complaints to the dean of students, all the residents received an email saying that we were "washing dishes in the fountains", and that we weren't allowed to go down there anymore. I would go down to get cold water since we were forced to either drink from warm faucets from either our room or the bathroom, and was filling my cup and just rinsed out what was in it beforehand. I understood that my presence could be distracting, so I took to taking the back route of the dorms so I wouldn't walk past any class. It was only after the new nursing department teacher said I was washing dishes that anything was said to the dorm residents. I understand it's a silly thing to discuss, but it was a major factor in my leaving the school. I would like to see the staff drink warm water that they got from essentially a bathroom sink instead of a water fountain, since the only one that was available was on the first floor.
