Hello Classical Dreams, I am a 41 yr old male nursing student, going on my 3rd career. I can identifiy with everything you are experiencing as I have seen it firsthand myself at the school i am attending here in Georgia. I think if you are gonna do anything, Mariannsi, offered some good advice, as I have seen students at my school get punished quietly for complaining about the program. Ultimately, I would tell you to hang on and endure all that you are going through, I think this is the nature off most of the nursing programs in the country. So feel secure in knowing that you are indeed in good company, and most of all, stick it out and get that diploma. Best of luck to you,, Cman
