Nursing School

[Newgurl17, CNA, LPN]

Hello,

It has officially been a year and a month or two since I first started working as a nurse and I have been feeling a little down lately thinking about what we were taught in nursing school. My program was only a a year and a half long and half the time was spent not being hands-on. My transition into the workplace had and still remains a struggle because nursing school didn't prepare me for my job in ltc.

If there was any way that you could change how future nurses are taught in school, how would you change it? How would you develop a program that will better prepare nurses for the workplace? What would you teach future nurses?
