Frustrated with LPN director and Idk where to go from here!?

[cmm4ever]

I went to the college to meet with the LPN director (she was my medical assistant director/teacher to) and am really confused and frustrated with outcome. She didnt seem welcoming (I was on really good terms with her before). She basically said why do you want to do LPN...and I mentioned a few things, but also said that is why I wanted to come to find out more info. She barely gave me any info, the pay she told me was different from what someone else said. Then she kept on telling me to go for RN and made me talk to director or whatever, and I really didnt want to. Then she leaves and comes back. Basically shes telling me to think about what I want to go for, well that's why I came to talk to her but she really didnt explain anything. She didnt even know I was accepted. I was like whats the best way to get a hold of you and she seemed like she didnt want to be bothered. I knew this already but she made me feel hopeless about my my transportation issues regarding clinicals and said buses dont even go to some of these places. I was going to ask her about all these sites I written down (mostly catholic health that I already work for) but didnt even because the way she was being. I left there very disappointed ...I feel like nothing was accomplished. I dont know what to do. Alot of faculty stinks there. I was really hoping for more answers..now I have even more questions!

I'm going to go out on a limb here.

If you don't have transportation to clinicals...then that is something you should be concerned about ...NOW. Before the program begins.

I don't know if she was just having a bad day or if maybe there was a situation in that while in the previous program where maybe she felt you needed too much assitance just to get through the program ... they tend to not like what I call problem children. they want to teach the classes, do their job and get you graduated/certified. They can't hold hands and help with every detail.

You know the requirements of the program. You can either make it happen or not...but if you've already been accepted then you should have had a plan before now.

I'm not trying to be mean at all. I went to school with a problem child and she about drove us all nuts. Every aspect of her school and personal life was a drama...and she needed US to fix it. It got to be too much. Don't be that person. Be a grown up and solve your own problems. Don't share them with the world...it makes you look bad.

I just think the college in General is screwed up for the most part...but people like to hire people from there. Enough people dont speak up, or are not taken seriously. I was not the problem student..I knew some girl that was though. Unfortunately the college rewards people like her. Theres a program for people with low income and poor grades. They get there full tuition etc paid for. Maybe if I had the same thing I could afford a car..but spent all the money I had while I was there before. I was told my grades were too good to be in that program. I was on the Deans list every semester, but people who do well obviously dont get anything. I was actually a top student (not to be conceited), and she even said that I do very well in school. Just stinks becasue this would be the one big thing stopping me. Either way, she was telling me to do RN etc and was not being professional at all. I mean if I do it, I want to do it soon or probably never. Maybe things will work out for the best...I guess Im used to it,nothing ever goes easy for me. I guess thats why Im determined so much to continue to do well...I dont know if my circumstnaces will hinder me...but IM hoping for a good ending. P.s. I aslo have bad anxiety about driving (seems like it sortta runs in family idky).
