In the nursing school I went to (only 5 years ago) #1 would get you thrown out of class, #2 would get you a 0 grade and #3 would get your thrown out of the program. Seriously, a girl missed a group...
If it was her desk or she is the director of the admissions department, I think she has the right to dictate who can answer the phone. It doesn't sound like the interaction went well on either side...

I don't know, I put up with a lot of stuff because generally the school is going to support their instructors. But if ANYONE is patting my bottom and there are witnesses, I think I would have to go...
You have to make sure you really have the time and focus to make it work. If you think A&P is tough, wait til you get into your first semester of the nursing program. It feels like boot camp and...
Not all associates degree programs are alike just as not all BSN programs are alike. I paid less than $12000 to earn my RN at an associates degree program. It was very competitive and tough. It...
