Hello, I am a student, but much older than most at 49. I went back to school with the intention to use the degree to get into an area such as insurance or nurse triage. I have past and current experience in long term care and also have a business degree, and many years of office experience, with customer service mixed in. I began my first semester of nursing at this tech. school, and in one of the courses for skills the checkers (who are people with MSN or RN degrees) are being very rude and even yelling at me, although I know in practice I am doing the skill well as everyone else. A checker once said hurry up, I have other people to see, when I entered the check off room. (we are each allowed 30 min. I am not slow and just entered the room). I am an A-B student and by no means slow! I work out and don't even move slow. The checker was just being rude to me. The check off people are assigned and you are not allowed to switch. When my checker changed to a new one the next one was also rude. With this (bad) experience I have a gut feel to leave this school. It makes me sick to even think about attending any longer. If I left this school tomorrow, and did not complete my courses receiving an F, in each of them (3) that I need to complete, could I drop this and just pick up my schooling elsewhere for Nursing? All of my pre-req's were transfered in and the 4 Nursing courses I took were the only thing I ever took at this school. If I switch schools to a new program, is it dishonest not to report that this happened and I started elsewhere but left, if I do not plan to transfer any of the work in? Would I have to switch into LPN instead then at a new school? Or could I just start over into an RN program? I had a bad experience at this school when I was taking some sciences earlier, so I went to another school for those thinking it was maybe just the general ed. department. Now I am seeing its the entire school instructors.
