i hate to downgrade my school, but there are so many inconsistancies. does anyone else have this problem?
first off, it says right in the nurse practice act that students shall have a constant environment condusive to learning. we have been shuffled around like cattle this semester because the roof in our homeroom keeps leaking. it wouldn't be that bad except some of the rooms are totally inappropriate- like the auditorium. how are we suppossed to balance a book and our notes on our lap? plus the lighting in the auditorium is horrible.
then there is math. one instructor says to carry the problem out to the second decimal point and round your answer. the other instructor says to not round anything. we have students not passing their math tests, but i wonder why. noone's sure exactly what the instructors want.
then there's the whole uniform policy. i wore the same amount of earrings all through last semester during clinicals and through the first rotation of this semester and nothing was ever said. then i get to the rotation i'm in now and i get a deficiency, stating i had too many earrings. their not even hoops or anything. i had one pair of studs and a stud in my cartilage that is covered by my hair when i pull it up anyway.
the list goes on and on, but i think i've listed enough.
we all feel that we aren't getting the education we are spending a lot of money for. i was just wondering if anyone else is having problems, or if i just made a bad choice in schools?
If you are frustrated by the inconsistencies in nursing school, wait until you are actually working as a nurse. This nurse does it this way, that one does it that way. This one gets a promotion even though she does behavior A, this one doesn't get a promotion because she does behavior B. They never have enough of supply Q and always too much of supply X which comes from a manufacturer who constantly changes the sizing so it's never the right size anyway. Not to mention that doctor M always has his patients on drug Y, when doctor N prefers drug T except when the patient also has disease B in which case he uses drugs D and E instead...
