Anyone dissatisfied with their nursing school? (long post)

[gdelrosa]

Hi,

I've been really put off my nursing school lately. I'm in an Accelerated BSN program. The classes and lecture instructors are disorganized which puts in a bad position when studying for exams and more importantly the NCLX. The assignments are badly written. So bad that when our clinical instructors are required to grade them, they don't know what to do. No one seems to know what is expected and we have such a short time in school!

I know I'm gripping but is there anyone who hates their school. I love nursing and the patients I get to take care of, but this nursing school seems to torture it's students by requiring half of them to commute over 80 miles one way without rotating for the whole year, giving inadequate lectures, and providing info the night before a test. I don't feel like this school is preparing me to be a nurse. In fact, I asked a clinical instructor about this situation and she said that not all nursing schools are like this. But to basically do what they tell me to do and get out of here...I think that's the awful truth.

If anyone has any words of encouragement, please post. I'm about to pull my hair out in frustration.
