I've notice alot of posts regarding NS drop outs! Whats going on? Can it be that the instructors aren't competent enough? Is it that many students have other responsiblities besides NS( families, jobs, etc).I wonder if this also happens in MEd school!!
Once AGAIN guys, I did not say admission standards are or should be affected by Instructor Incomptence.What sense would that make.I said, some students may drop out of NS maybe because of their instructor's lack of knowledge/skill.AGain, this doesn't always happen, but there are schools who cannot afford the best instructors.Thanks.
How many of Today's Nurses were straight A students? Not that many I can imagine.I have known people who got into NS with a 2.7-3.0 GPA and there are great Nurses! LOl being a straight A student is not a indication of becoming a a competent Nurse in the future nor does a 2.7 gpa .Am I right or am I right?lol.How about lower the standards to what they were for those lucky Nurses out there and higher more competent instructors? I think thats the only solution to our shortage and the depression among those who really want to be a Nurse but just arent "A" students but do have GREAT RESONING ABILITIES.
I wonder if those who insist that NS should increase their admission standards actually applied to Ns with a 4.0 GPA.hmmmm..Lalalalalalaalalala...Im not saying anymore..lol

Folks, after moderator discussion, it has been decided to close this thread down. The topic has been hashed over in just about every way possible, and some responses have been rather 'testy'; that tells us that the thread has outlived its usefulness and needs to go away, at least for a time. Sorry.
