Is 3rd Semester of ADN Nursing Program that Bad?

[Rylee2008]

I started third semester of my final year for my Associated Degree in Nursing. I have been told that only half the class will finish this semester. The School has even tried to prepare us by letting us all know that we may not make it through. Is third semester really that bad? I'm scared to death that I made it this far and I won't finish.

I don't listen to anybody's garbage. I have enough of my own to worry about.

Some of these schools should be investigated. I believe they are out to fail students deliberately. I know many schools that fail students in their final semester instead of working with the students to see where they are weak. I am ****** when I read these things. Again, This is a way of keeping those mentally ill nursing instructors in control at all time. If they can fail many students they will feel rewarded. Honestly, those instructors can be severely mentally ill. When I see those instructors I always let them feel very important to prevent the psychotic episode.

I am also nervous about entering my 3rd semester in a couple of weeks (med/surg and psych). We, too, were "warned" from the director of the program that on average, half the class will not go on to the final semester. I keep telling myself lots of people have made it through, but you have to wonder if, like another poster pointed out, if they are admitting students they shouldn't or if the curriculum needs to be re-evaluated.
