Has anyone heard of this school and could give some info on whatever they know about the program. Im looking for some info about them but cant seem to find much. Just wondering if this school is worth my time because I been having trouble with nursing schools lately.

In case you live in California and were considering going to Merritt Community College's (Not Samuel Merritt) Nursing Program, it might be in your best interest to reconsider. Over 130 students were accepted and after five weeks only about 30 or so remain. The teachers are of no help, and they offer nothing but "study harder!" I don't know, maybe I was wrong, but I was under the impression that teachers wanted their students to succeed, and they were there to teach pertinent information about test and responsibilities a nurse has. But who am I to judge, I am just a nursing student... wait, no im not anymore because in 9 weeks i was expected to read over 40 chapters, learn drug calculations, learn skills, listen to my instructors teach using outdated slides and talk about their "personal thoughts" about nursing, and lastly i was expected to be considered (lol) "safe" in clinical's after those nine weeks. So my advice to anyone considering enrolling to the nursing program at Merritt, would be not to waste your time and look for your education elsewhere. BTW i have nothing personal against my instructors, i soley wish they were to do what they were hired to do and not to turn everyone into an "expected" failure statistic...

"or maybe its just summer and you want to relax." it may be this more so than i lack a passion for the job, because i feel excited when i think of working at a hospital. Although maybe i need a little pressure to keep me motivated. i dont know....

i have gotten accepted into nursing school. My classes will start on August 20, and for whatever reason i cant get myself to study/ prepare for my up coming classes. I have my text book on hand and drug dosage calculation book but i cant seem to stay focused very long. Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions?
