   rgodfrey replied to mttzakr87's topic in General Students

   80 to 60 is still a lot better than 110 to less than 50, im assuming that the majority were also lost in the lower levels and even the 1st week,....that doesnt sound that bad....but if your program is losing more than half then there is something wro...

2. My classmates dropping like flies???

   rgodfrey replied to mttzakr87's topic in General Students

   It may have been considered one of the best in the state due to its NCLEX pass rates? Usually thats what its based on, not necessarily retention.......board scores dont help you if you cant graduate. It can be a good thing to an extent, however, whe...

   rgodfrey replied to mttzakr87's topic in General Students

   Yes, I know what you're talking about with that program, I also failed out of that program. It was so disorganized, and we were always tested on stuff we never learned, and the teachers were so out of sync' with what we learned. and the way the exam...

6. Backing out of RN school

   rgodfrey replied to rgodfrey's topic in General Students

   I must say I really love what both of you guys (TC3200 and griffinchet) had to say......however "There aren't many nursing professors who will not listen to a student who has rationally thought out a clinical scenario, and has reasoning behind their ...

7. Backing out of RN school

   rgodfrey replied to rgodfrey's topic in General Students

   Well yes,....obviously you cant go into detail and I dont know many RN programs that give you 100% of information. Lecture outlines the content, we all know that....at least its supposed to, but if there is little clarity between the students and tea...

9. Backing out of RN school

   rgodfrey replied to rgodfrey's topic in General Students

    Definetly thinking about backing out of my RN program after completing 2 of the 4 semesters...... Probably going to change my major to Physical Therapy and go from there. I love the job, but honestly.... I have a lot of respect for the RN's and the s...
