Am I overreacting?

[FamNP123]

This post is half venting, half wanting advice. I go to a non-profit online NP Program (not sure if I should say the name). I've been SO frustrated with the clinical faculty. Not the professors, but mostly the heads of the MSN clinical faculty (who help with all of the clinical sides of things). 

To sum it up, I've been pushed back in my clinical hours the past year for many reasons: 8 weeks of stay at home orders last year not allowing us to go to clinical, the staff taking 4-5 weeks (or more) to process and approve paperwork, having difficulty finding preceptors (partly due to COVID), preceptors taking too long to do my evaluations, being out for 3 weeks for surgery I had to have, and now I just finished an extension for semester 2 clinical and am 5 weeks behind, waiting to start semester 3. 

My school charged us for going over last semester $430 (this is the first time they have done this, which I find absolutely asinine as they know a lot of our clinicals got messed with due to lockdowns). I finished my semester 2 hours 3 weeks ago and was first waiting on my preceptor for do my eval, now I can't start my OBGYN hours until the school manually registers me, which they said takes a lot of work (which I find ridiculous, it's just a simple registration we normally do ourselves). I have called and emailed them telling them how I am already behind and really need to start ASAP so I can finish on time in late July (I still have pediatrics to do after OBGYN). I feel stupid as I told my OBGYN preceptor I should be set to start about 3 weeks ago. 

I am just fed up with them taking advantage of us being out from covid last year, not being able to find preceptors, and them taking forever to approve our paperwork. My mom (yes, she gives me advice) thinks I need to call the school and complain and do something about it so they don't charge me again and so they can realize what they are doing to students. My classmate emailed the dean of nursing about similar complaints and he never responded.

Am I being petty? Should I just suck it up, accept that I am behind and pay the money that they're going to charge me again for going over? (I know I am going to be behind again this semester, I can't afford to do more than 2-3 days of clinical a week).
