I am just so burned! I just got off a call with my cousin in Virginia. I told her about starting school Monday and she told me about the program she was in.
The program only took 45 people, and there is no waiting list. The director said over 200 people applied at the interview and because the seats were so limited, some very qualified individuals may not get in. Well, two weeks into the program a group of four girls started saying they were too good to be "just LPNs". One of the young ladies supposedly dropped out a week later and her friends followed within the following two weeks.
Now what burns me is that these individuals knew they were applying to an LPN program. They went to the Practical Nursing Academy to submit their apps and to interview. Being "just an LPN" must have been a conscious decision as some point.
Everyone has their own opinions about what level of nursing they want to go into. That is not the current issue. The issue is that there was no way to replace those four slots and someone who really wanted a slot and would have fully appreciated it missed out. :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire
Is this not completely selfish or is it just me?
