Nursing School Frustrations

Could be worse. We are teaching ourselves as we have multiple new professors who arent familiar with the material they are teaching.

What I have found thus far is that being an amazing clinician does not necessarily translate into being an amazing professor.

Not only do I hate when they lecture past the test material, I LOATHE when they lecture AFTER the tests. Buddy, my brain is fried, I cannot understand any of the words coming out of your mouth hahahaha. They do this for ALL classes at the school, because people complained that they paid for a 3 hour class, they should get a 3 hour class. My nursing class is now a 4 hour class that I go to right after a full work day. Pretty sure I'll be falling down dead after exam 1. Good luck with your semester!

This is why I think all college classes should be changed to hybrid classes. You teach yourself what you need to know, while having a teacher that can answer questions for you, and the only time you actually go to a class is for labs.

Plus it seems the most fair with the common college trend of "teach yourself." And then you're not paying that extra money for an in-person class with a teacher that barely touches on anything you need to learn.

eh no. My learning style is listen and take notes. So hybrid would not work for me, I'm not a textbook learner. I just can't learn anything after a test haha

I have an exam tonight with a lecture immediately following....definitely not looking forward to it. A previous professor of mine who I met with once a week would do lectures BEFORE exams and I liked that format much more.

That would drive me nuts. I'd be worried about forgetting important stuff while trying to learn from the lecture.
