Lousy Professor or lousy student?

Nursing Students General Students

Hello everyone,

wanted ask ask the question if it is the students fault or the Professors fault to succeed in nursing school? Who has more responsibility to make sure we have future qualified and quality nurses?

Depends on the particular people and situation. Most of the time, a lack of school success is mainly attributable to poor performance by the student. There are some really bad teachers, of course. But most of the time, when a student has failed, it is because the student has not taken the necessary actions to earn themselves a passing grade.

You pay a school to provide you with a chance -- to present the material, provide some coaching, and evaluate your level of performance. You don't pay them to guarantee your success not matter how little effort you put into it.

Beautifully expressed!

What if the coaching and material is flawed? And what if the Professors are incompetent and set you up intentionally for failure just to make a quick buck for the school and take advantage of the poor student? Is that possible? Of course it is!!! If you are responding please make sure you are not affiliated or paid by a school. Thanks.

Of course it's possible. But IMO, it's the exception rather than the rule and I really can't imagine those types of programs staying open for very long.

But even in the case of a "bad" nursing school, some responsibility still lies with the student - how much research did the student do before applying? Did they ask questions and do their due diligence? I know both programs I've applied to inside and out. I spent months researching the programs, teachers, etc before I made the choice which schools to apply to.

I'm guessing you enrolled in a for-profit, shady school and are paying the price now. That is unfortunate, but why are you insistent on poisoning every thread you comment on?

I also need to ask- are you an RN yet? Because if not, it is a violation of the AN TOS to use it in your username.

I think instead of a stethoscope, you need a tin foil hat.

Why is everything such a conspiracy with you?

From reading your other posts on this forum, and your inability to answer basic questions regarding yourself, I'm guessing you're an individual who failed out of nursing school ... or is about to.

Did *you* fail or did the whole class fail?

It's easier to understand who you're talking to if you use the "quote" button on the bottom right of the post.
