Did you get a studyguide for the final?

Fellow sufferers,

I was suprised to discover that the final, which is comprehensive covering 25 classes over 4 months, has no study guide. I've never taken a class before that had this policy. I think it's ridiculous, but that's pretty much what I thought of the rest of the course. They seem to have sort of made it up as they went along, so I don't think they really considered whether they would need one.

The final won't affect my grade anyway, in fact I'm considering not continuing with nursing at all and concentrating on a medical field, but still I think this is odd to expect students to review 25 classes without knowing what to concentrate on.

I wonder if this isn't a symptom of a program that's outside the norm. Maybe the reason I hate the curicculum so much in nursing is because these are not normal classes.

These sure aren't normal guidelines.

How's your final structured?

No study guide here either...we do however have 2 "review" days where we can go in and review (on our own) all of our tests and quizzes from the entire semester....good luck to you.

After rereading this thread, i have to lol.....I am sitting here after two "all nighters" in a row with 3 hours of sleep in between...A study guide right about now is a grand fantasy. Due to some "time constraints" we have had 3 lectures on 4 different systems, (pharm included) and have I will be taking my second exam in 2 days in about an hour.........cummulative final is Tuesday!!!! Nothing like getting the material the night before the exam....no pressure though right???

Oh I just love school! :o

That sounds like a good idea. You can try to find out what the heck they were thinking when they formed the rationale for the bestanswer.

The trouble with the curicculum in nursing school is that it is missing the critical element of science. Without science the faculty can pretty much make up any rationale they want without qualification.

I think I am through trying to find linear thought in a nursing school somewhere. Rational thinking just does not compute in this sector of academic training.

YES I am going to use a review book and everything I can get my hands on for the NCLEX. I meant we won't get one provided by my program, and you have a course in it?! I should have made myself clear. Sorry, my mind is buried somewhere between my pharmacology final and my processes final. :)

Hey ..it's cool,

Yep, We can take a NCLEX review course worth 3 credit hours. Ya better believe I'm taking that class! :D
