I am already regretting my choice to go to a Christian school for my MSN program. I guess I thought that the first few choices would focus more on nursing and not 90% Christianity with a dash of nursing? The books they picked are ridiculous as in the authors are extremely biased towards the Christian viewpoint. I thought multicultural classes were biased and bad, Christianity classes disguised as "enhancing worldviews" are a lot worse.
Anyone else attend a Christian school? Was it really this bad? I had heard decent things about their RN to BSN undergrad program but this class is ridiculous. It hasn't even started but I want to write a letter to the authors and suggest that the authors should have collaborated with other authors to offer an accurate viewpoint of other worldviews and not just looking at that viewpoint through a Christian lens.
It's supposed to be a NP program. This class feels like a humanities class.
LOL, are you kidding me? Seriously your the one who chose the school when you clearly knew that it was Christian and that the belief they hold would be implemented in curriculum. It's your fault for for being inattentive.
And why in the world would you write to the authors of the textbooks who wrote them with the intention of being specifically catered to the Christian community?
Obviously your the one who needs to be corrected and if you don't like it then you should go to the HUNDREDS of of other schools that are secular in their beliefs.
I thought you were kidding at first lol, but now I see your wrongly victimizing yourself and attacking a community biased on your own opinion of things.
You should also Google the definition of "worldview". What they are doing is accurate based in their worldview. Your definition of "accurate" is different and cannot be implemented in the text because that would make it inconsistent.
LOL you so funny! Cant wait to laugh at this with my husband.
I get it. You went to a Christian school without fully realizing just how Christian it would be, and you're frustrated that you seem to be focusing more on religion than nursing. The first college I attended was not for me, but I found that out after I got there. I left, and am now at a school that I love. You can't fault the school for teaching Christian beliefs, but you can leave so that you actually enjoy your college experience and can have peace of mind about the education you're receiving.
I received my BS degree from a Catholic University. Although I was raised catholic/baptist I don't identify with any major religion. I loved that school for the simple reason we had a melting pot of religions. Atheist, Muslims, Buddhist, Catholics, Agnostic. We were only "required" to take 3 credits of theology and that was it.
OP I'm assuming this is a private college that you chose knowing what the principles of the school were founded under. If you don't like their teaching why don't you just find a different school that is more suitable to your liking? That seems to be easier to do then complaining the entire time you are enrolled there.
I think lots of students choose religious universities because some of them are considered excellent institutions of higher learning. (Notre Dame, anyone?) Just because a college has religious core values doesn't mean students shouldn't be educated from a scientific perspective.
Clearly this school does not hold that belief. I'd be looking for a different school.

So much for being mature. Just curious, are you still a nursing student? I checked your profile and you're listed as a nursing student but still have 5+ years listed.

I kind of expected a curriculum that is more in line with teaching FNP-related topics than pretty much straight up religion classes. From what I have read online, Catholic universities actually tend to have the balance better than other Christian programs. My only other experience is from what people have said about a local university that is Catholic-based. I guess my assumption of comparing it to the people who I know that had experience at the Catholic university or the undergrad

That's my case exactly. It's too late to get a refund but I am going to try and grin and bear it.
As for the school itself, the schol sounds like the undergrad RN to BSN is generally more secular based with one or two religion classes mixed in.
In all honesty, I can see why people want to tighten up the NP programs to ensure a consistent curriculum. With nursing schools, undergrad is pretty much standarized to a certain degree. You have to cover so many topics.
