I am a nursing student that put a lot into this and also failed twice due to clinical instructors that were inconsiderate and very harsh. I just dropped out of the second one because I could not handle one more day of criticism and insults. I don’t know if it’s worth it to go back to this. I’ve been told that nurses often pick on older students. And I can’t waste anymore time on pursuing a career like this. If I knew it was a sure thing I’d go back but, I don’t know. Are private schools better in this aspect than community colleges? I know it’s not just me. Almost all of the older students I know left either willingly or unwillingly.
