Help!! School is driving me bonkers. The teachers are so disorganized.

I'm so sick of the practical nursing school that I am in. The teachers are the most disorganized people I have ever met. The pharm teacher/ IV therapy teacher is a head trauma victim... and she's so scatter brained that she forgets what she's talking about, I like her but it scares me when I hear that she's going to lecture. We finished IV therapy 2 weeks ago... and we still don't have our final grades. I'm scared. I have no clue how I've done. Then we were to have no clinicals next week and they "changed their mind" and they didn't bother to tell our clinical instructor. Does anyone else have any problems with their instructors?

You are not alone. Went through the same thing. Marks were always slow.

Clinical information was always received at the last minute. But bear in mind that there are usually a few other places trying to place students in the same facilities at the same time. We were always left to last because the "RN students need placements first".

Look at it this way, you survive school and you can work nearly anywhere because you understand pressure and stress.

I am sorry, that would drive me batty! Our instructors are great, very organized for the most part and we always get out scores back the same day as a test, etc, very quickly..

Hope things get better for ya! :)

I'm not in an LPN program, but instead an ADN program and they are just as scattered brain at times......

We have a teacher, this is her 1st year of classroom teaching, that was a complete nutcase her 1st 2 weeks of teaching. She's only taught clinicals, never the classroom BEFORE the clinical. She's OK now, but I was so scared those 1st couple of weeks.....

We have another teacher that tells you she doesn't care about your social life but canceled a quiz last week because she wanted to watch the superbowl with her family rather than write the quiz.

Don't even ask about clinical rotations.....we'll get those the week before we start and I'm sure they won't be what we even enrolled for because we've been told....they never are.

Oh, the fun of it all.

oh yeah...i hear you. i'm in a bsn-rn program. i have been lucky to have some absolutely fantastic clinical profs this semester. so i guess i shouldn't complain too much but some of my profs for lecture have been driving me nuts with the generally disorganized way they lecture and the fact that i sometimes have to sift through misinformation that they give in class.
