10,000 questions or ELSE

Nurses General Nursing

My college is mandating that the graduate students have to do 10,000 questions before we are able to get signed off and our ednur form can be sent in for us to take state boards!!!!! The staff make up the rules from day to month one minute we are required to do 5,000 questions then upon turning in the 5,000 questions we were told "OH NO NOW WE WANT 10,000 questions then on top of that we are December 2001 graduates they are saying NOW we do not want any questions done in 2001 in which the 5,000 questions were due Jan 19, 2002 so you guessed it ....most of the questions were dated in 2001. I am so frustrated with my college it is a night mare. Then they added that they would not sign us off either if we do not get 90 percent on the RN simcats.......UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I have taken the RN simcats about 8 times already and I have not made a 90 yet..........it is so so so frustrating .......any comments would be appreciated........I know they say it is for our own good but I am brain drained and I do not feel that this will help me pass the boards at all.

Specializes in CV-ICU.

All I can say is this stinks! AND GO to the Dean and SBON!!!

What they did to teach you may have been wrong; as for the 12 hour days and then classroom expectations the next day: I believe that it is frustrating, wrong, and "old school"- they did it to us back in the 1960's. Several newer RNs where I work talk about the he!! they had to go through in school; it almost sounds as though the nursing educators are the first ones to "eat the young" nurses! :o We expected it back when I was in school; I think we felt that if we survived nursing school, we could survive ANYTHING! It's too bad that that mentality still exists.

Yes Jenny P.....this is the hell I have been going through; it seems as though I am not the only student upset behind all of this as the Nursing Coordinator of the college recieved a letter from the board notifying them that someone has been keeping them informed of the activities that have been going on within our college and red flags have been raised as to some of the things but the 10,000 questions was not one of the things mentioned and why I dare try to figure it out.....I am too brain exhausted ...LOL
