Delta college! (Rant)

U.S.A. Louisiana

Published

I was suppose to start school for my 3rd and last time after 3 years. I went to my meeting with the board to try to get in. I was so motivated and knew I had it in the bag. Well apparently I did not.

I went in the meeting and say down the ladies started grilling me with questions telling me

How I couldn't do school cuz I have 2 kids

What ima do when My kids father decides he doesnt want to pay the bills anymore

What ima do when me and My kids father break up

Who gonna watch the kids when my kids father decides he doesn't want to watch them anymore

How 2 years is too long of a program for me

And how I need to do medical assistant because they get paid the same

Then they asked me where do I work

How much do I get paid

Who pays my insurance

What year is my car

How much is my car note is

Did I do the math about how I am going to pay for everything and going to school!

How I need a plan!

All of this to get back into school that I will be paying for out of my pocket. A $23,000 program. They have given me my validation and I am not returning to this school. Is it just me or is this too personal. I left in tears and in shock that they do this to people.

I have a plan. My plan was work 2-3 days during the week and 1 weekend every other week. And attend school 6-10pm. They told me that was bad and how will I see my kids. And I really do feel like they were trying to belittle me. They told me no that's not a good plan for you. You need to go to school 8a-320p and work 5-whatever. I DO NOT see that being a good plan. Is it just me?

I have been thinking of filing a complaint because that is discrimination against mothers. But God is blessing me with so much more. :)

Lol this is my last one. But they were trying to tell me MA's make $14 and how being a LPN was not that big. I am so over it all! I would never recommend anyone there anymore.

That's a invasion of privacy. The only personal thing my college needs to know are the things that are pertinent to receiving financial aid, other than that it's no ones business how you pay your bills or your relationship status. Definitely file a complaint with the BBB and do not let anyone tell you what you should be. In my area becoming an MA is not a smart choice, the job field is more saturated than nursing and you have less options.

I would file a complaint because they are discriminating against you for having kids and its highly illegal due to equal opportunity rights

I was going to mention the same to file a complaint with the BBB and Consumer's. They have no right to tell you what and how you should do things with your own life! That is crazy. And they really tell you the schedule you chose isn't a good idea and asked about you spending time with your kids? They got a lot of nerve! They are carrying on as if you and your significant other was having this conversation! SMH. They deserve to be reported!

Even if you didnt get a chance to spend much time with your children, then that is your decision not theirs and going to nursing school means sacraficing a lot and that includes quality time with friends and family. That would be temporary not forever or long time. An MA does not make that much and if I were you, I would make a complaint or something, those people are making me mad girl lol

They CAN NOT ask you questions regarding your children, childcare, or relationship status! Ever! Report them, right negative reviews and move on to a new school. Best of luck!

I just want to thank everyone for the support and all of the words! I just knew this wasn't right! And I feel like what I do is my business. They did go too far and I will report them Monday morning.
