Yikes!! this post brings back nightmares of contempt and loathing and emotional drain for the parts of nursing school that offer nothing to enhance one's professional ability but only provide a job for some old burned out dinosaur...no way I would voluntarily put myself through this again, sorry...but good luck!!

Of course this is only my opinion.
