Okay I was doing orientation at a major hospital today...while there I had time to talk to new grads and students at the program I am going to enroll in.
I am hoping to get into the accelerated program. The standards are higher to be accepted in this program and although I exceed them, I still worry about getting accepted.
So I (know maybe rude) asked a few people what their GPA was in school. EVERY single person told me 4.0!!
This cracked me up especially the itty bitty girl who took a Nurse Tech position in the NICU.
I had orientation with her the day before and I couldn't help but laugh at her ignorant questions and statements. It was so bad I shared with my fiance when he got home.
When discussing warning signs for bleeding she stated decreased HR increased BP.....
This is just one the ridiculous things she said... and if not saying something ridiculous she said "I don't know"
Once again, she claims to have a 4.0...
And she has completed the first semester of Nursing School.
What makes this worse is if my child goes to NICU after birth, I will insist she doesn't lay a hand on him!!
I am also concerned how or why would any hospital hire an nursing student who couldn't tell a foley from an IV!!
I mean didn't the ignorance I have seen displayed over the last 2 days come out during her interview??
