Discouraged- Need Help!

We've had a lot of changes in our nursing program in the last year I have been enrolled. We are losing an instructor who is an incredible source of knowledge and has tremendous heart and passion for this field. The instructor who I am assuming will be stepping up is one in which we have a great deal of trouble with. She uses what she calls "student centered learning" and acts as a "facilitator." She comes to class without the textbook we are using, grades clinical paperwork during our lecture period, and acts suprised when we tell her information that comes from our book. We are broken into groups and told to discuss a disease/disorder from start to finish, what it is, nsring dx, tx options, labs, diagnostics, s/s, manifestations, etc. Somebody please tell me how a group of nursing students, who are all on the same pager are supposed to elaborate on and expand each others knowledge of the material. We simply don't know much more then what our textbook is telling us, which sometimes is not always clear. When you ask her a question she simply beats around the bush and does everything she can but answer it. I don't know if what she fails to see is that one day we might be taking care of her or her family or what. I don't understand how you are a nursing instructor yet fail to really elaborate on any course material. She has a MSN, yet cannot even utilize proper english when speaking with us, "I says" "I be thinking". Then talks about leukoplasia when we are discussing leukoplakia. I'm not a rocket scientist nor a graduate from a nursing program, so am I wrong in thinking that these are not the same things? Also, we have addressed the fact that this is not helping us, and she gave us a crappy matter of fact speech that she is not changing anything. So why pay for an education we are not getting? Then this very same woman wants you to take your medications off of the hospital floor and into the break room so you can sit down and discuss them with her. Shouldn't she be doing this before the meds are even pulled? I REFUSE to walk off of the floor with any medications, even if it be just a multivitamin. She cannot access contorlled substances, which is probably a good thing, so the floor nurses must get them from the Pyxis. She watched the nurse pull the med for a student and them walks out of the med room, doesn't even bother to watch the student draw up the med, leaving it for the floor nurse to do. Then has the nerve to tell the student that she didn't know what medication it was and she wasn't going with her to give it. Well DUH dummy guess you should have stayed in the med room and watched. What in the world can we as students do about this situation before it gets out of hand and end up failing out of the program or flunking our boards due to lack of instruction. Are there any good resources to help us. We only have one semester left after this and it would be a shame to do poorly due to her lack of instruction. We have had no support from the higher ups at the school, just told changes will be made, of course we have yet to see any action by them.
