   Yesterday in class we had a professor fill in to play some practicum skills videos for the class and she literally said to us - "I don't know if I should say this...some of you may know what I'm talking about....look at this as a blessing that your p...

   As a tall guy - my low back is completely out of pain from training in the gym again. It only took a week to rehab myself. The long student hours spent sitting in a chair and withering away really took a toll on my mental and physical health. It feel...

   Just writing to say the semester started today. I got VERY LUCKY to get a professor change 3 days before the semester started. And we just did a class vote to take our exams online. This professor actually has structure to her course and gave us an a...

   I really wish this were the case for me where my professor came after me. I approached her after exam 2 asking what more can I do to succeed and her advice was “you need to connect the dots”. At that point I just figured I didn’t have the skill to th...

   It was first sent to the Dean via email and he reconnected me to the board of nursing department, and CC’d the chairperson. I then resent my letter with all students attached to the chairperson. Therefor the date is there. Would I really need to go t...

   Hi everyone, still no reply. I’ve learned around an estimated 20 students have failed. Also I don’t think I’ve mentioned this but I’m in an ADN program at a CC in New York City. Irrelevant to my situation, but relevant - I recently rec...

   Hey Pollywog, here’s your response as promised. When I say “non-linear” what I mean is my professor was not structured - often jumping around from following slides to having another thought and showing us images related to that thought, and then...

   My apologies - your earlier reply was lengthy. When I find more time I will reply. I’m doing the Christmas thing so when I can I sneak into the message board here and catch up on this thread (which is trending). Wooooo! Happy holidays.

   I don’t personally have the numbers, but I’ve talked to a few others who failed too. Some are most likely staying silent about it. And then there’s the morning section (I am in the afternoon section about 28 students) who are having the same problem....

    If that’s the case then I might actually have a shot! The ratings are there and they speak the truth. Many unhappy campers. Still waiting for a 1st reply which will probably come after the new year. I’ll know what to do next (if anything) af...

    I don’t feel as if I’ve compromised anything but thanks for the heads up. Changed.

    Thank you for your reply. The delay was because I thought it was a ‘me’ problem. I thought I could get caught up so I just kept going and trying harder. These discrepancies happened as they did - gradually throughout the semester, and I figured if I ...

    Hey all, Just finished my 2nd semester and failed along with many others. There were many discrepancies in my program that are listed in my letter to the chairperson of the Nursing department. Since our professors set us up for failure through B...
