Hi, new here. Been lurking for a while and I finally got panicked enough to post. Basically, I'm in an accelerated BSN program. I already have a BS in another field, and so far I've done well in the program. My cohort is currently in its last class, Med-Surg II, and as of right now about 50-75% of the class is failing. The first test, about 8 people passed out of 32. Second test, it was about 50/50. Third (and most recent) exam: worse than the first. And its not just me, it's the guy who was head of the class, and never made anything less than an "A" on any test. It's the guy with two degrees in Bio and Micro. It's everyone, and no amount of effort seems to make any difference.
For what its worth I never failed a test before in ANY class, college, or program, including this one. We're all at our wits end trying to figure out how to salvage this class, but with only 1 test left before the final, it might already be too late. I've tried talking to the instructors, my advisor, even the Dean about it, but no one seems interested. It's like they'd rather ignore what's going on while the whole BSN-A program goes down in flames. I really don't get it, and I have no idea how to proceed. Any advice???
