I'm attending Tidewater Tech in Norfolk, VA. I'm in the LPN program. Today we had a student/teacher meeting for all LPN students. They decided to change the attendence policy for clinicals. From Monday on if you miss 30 minutes or more of clinicals for that mod. (we go on five week mods) then you are dropped from all classes for that mod and will have to return and start that set of classes over. Not to mention pay to take all those classes over again. Now my problem is that this was not the policy when we started atttending school. It was you couldn't miss an entire day without making it up the next Friday (no school on Fri.) This seems totally unfair to the current students. If they want to make it policy for new students great. But I most likely wouldn't have attended the school if that was the then policy. I'm outraged by this. Am I wrong????
