What I wish I knew....
Care plans must be handwritten no typing any of them up
No breaks between semesters from clinical
Frequent weekend shifts with an exam that Monday or the following week
Frequent activities on weekends with exams on Monday or the following week
All lectures are prerecorded and often outdated by a previous faculty member at times
For anesthesia courses, There is no in-class teaching always a pre-recorded lecture with in-class group work
Multiple teachers making exams and overseeing one class
The majority of the class commonly fails exams/quizzes school does not curve or acknowledge that it may be due to their lack of teaching adequately
Common for one or two students never pass boards after graduating
School faculty frequently speak with their at-work CRNA colleagues about student's personal school information
In this school the faculty/CRNAs are never wrong students are the scapegoat for mistakes
I have been sent to do things alone that I have never done before on numerous occasions at Decatur
Lack of adequate instruction from Decatur CRNAs
Students are not treated well throughout the program, especially during Decatur clinical
A lack of resources for the DNP project/Millikin has very limited access to scholarly articles
May or may not have an anesthesia faculty on your project which is hard to complete if you don't
A lot of micromanagement/excessive control of students
No regard for your mental health
I would for sure say that there is an abuse of power there and students are powerless
The program director always takes the word of the CRNA over the students
The program director does not advocate for students she undermines them
