mom35 -- It's not that they will "delete" you from the program. They just won't teach you. You are expected to learn everything on your own with very little, if any, direction. Imagine being told that a test is over a broad topic, say cardiac, and that's it. No chapters, no pages, no read this book, nothing. Test questions can come from text books we don't use, topics not covered in lecture, etc. If it has anything to do with the heart, it can be on the test. Plus, anything covered on a previous test or previous semester is also fair game ... to ensure you retain the information.
Basically, the people running the program are not there to help you in any way. Other schools offer things for struggling students; not ECC. Find some friends, form study groups, read your texts books, answer NCLEX questions ... because these things will help you get through -- not the staff at ECC.
All that being said, no matter where you go, nursing school is challenging. I talked to other students, and they had their gripes, too, no matter what color uniform they were wearing. So many people have made it through; it is possible! You can do it!!
