Why do colleges make you take classes that have NOTHING to do with nursing?? We are in such a dire need for nurses, yet colleges acrost the United States feel as though we need to know how to write a synthesis paper, or give a speech about Cancun. Algebra, in gereral, is not used and medical math is...But in our college math for meds is NOT the requirement, ALGEBRA IS??? What gives?? I just feel if the colleges of today would cut the bull s*%T classes, our immediate need for nurses could, and would be solved. Why do I need to know Boyles law in chemistry?? Shouldnt I be learning things that pertain to my nursing...Its all about the almighty dollar!!! NOT patient care!!! That upsets me!!:angryfire Anyone else feel this way, or am I over-reacting???
