How many quit???

[Deb123j]

I've heard that a large % of people who start the nursing program drop out - what is your experience in this? I'm worried about going so much in debt and not being able to finish the program once I start.

Guess I'm feeling kinda dumb today - have a test and as usual feel totally unprepared even though I've studied for hours!!

Any tips on studying for A&P???

I hope you're getting a BSN for that kind of money.

I won't quit. They'll have to throw me out, kicking, screaming, spitting, etc. :chuckle

Now that the additude!!! Never quit! Just take it one day at a time....you'll get there if that is what you want. Keep on dancing! Whew!

During orientation on Wed I found out that the second year class in my program have 65 out of 100 students left. That doesn't sound too bad when you consider the many different reasons people have to stop the program.

I just graduated from LPN school last month. I don't know how every other school is, but my main instructor seemed to "weed out the weak ones" if you will. We had 7 tests in one week. We lost 21 people that semester and 2 the second semester. We started with 48 and graduated 25, a little under 50%. If you study like you say you have, you should be fine. For A&P, lots and lots of flashcards, and (sp?) neumonics. Hope that helps, you'll be just fine! :)

notamannurseanymoRCC,

If you're the hot shot med student now, then why are you still coming here? Look at the title, allNURSES. You're just going to be one of those arrogant doctors that had to pay a large sum of money just to get people to work for them. Good luck with your life.
