I'm a third year nursing student in Alberta Canada and I am learning by way of CBL - Context Based Learning. I was wondering if anyone else had heard of it and what they thought?

Seven,
I went to school in Edmonton.
Don't quit - it's not worth it in the long run. The best advice I can give is milk your clinicals for all you can, do lots of reading on your own and don't be afraid to ask questions when you're done. Honestly, everyone I graduated with is doing fine. Other nurses have said that they don't notice a difference with us at all... in fact, some say that we're stronger than grads from other years. Still doesn't make it easier, I know.
Hang in there, you'll do fine. :)
um, actually, Lethbridge went cbl too...(i know because they announced it the week i looked into thier program as a possible alternative)
as for what do you do about missed content--the answer i get is 'don't worry, it'll all come together...those questions on the final exam about content you didn't cover? oh...well...hmmmmm'
(think i can't write 'hmmmm' on the nclex?)
i wasn't reassured. would you be reassured if that missed content directly related to the care of a loved one?

peeps--BEWARE
and be warned that it is unlikely that any cbl credit you earn will likely count for zilch anywhere you might want to transfer....
i've learned this through bitter experience.
every other non-cbl school i applied to said 'sorry, back to first year for you'
