Hi,
I am getting ready to graduate in a couple of weeks, At first it was going ok. Until you get into the nursing classess, that's when you are on your own. These teachers, just read off a power point, I can do that myself. They have you do these group projects, like power point presentations. So you can learn from them, however you do not, more stress to complete them/APA papers!!!! When you take the HESI exams, which are exit's that you must pass to continue to the next term, more stress. If you don't pass you have to repeat the class again for a popping amount of $10,000.00. I am so done with this school, have I learned anything NO WAY, I am so scared to go out there, cause honest, I don't feel safe, only what I know as a LVN!!!!! Also as of this year Nov 2009, they will no longer offer LVN-RN Bridge program, I did call to confirm and it's true. They gave me no reason at all, they said they needed to concentrate on there BSN program. Maybe the boards realized how stupid this program is, and complaints of students. Who knows!!! If you need more info, let me know!!!!
. Community colleges are so impacted, it would take me at least 5 years to become an RN. If anyone has any suggestions, please help me out.
