I'm a month in my third semester of nursing school, yay! There are only 6 of us that are in our 30s, married & with kids the rest of the class are literally fresh outta high school and are so stinking rude it's unbelievable. One instructor I feel as though I have not learned anything from her, the first exam this semester 23 people failed her exam & 19 passed. The instructors think you should already know everything that a veteran ICU nurse should know & preach to us how we are adults and should learn on our own. I totally understand that they should not hold our hands all the way up to graduation day but everyone just comes across like it would just kill them if they were to help someone and belittle you if you just so happen to not know or understand something. I am treated like I am invisible to 99.9% of the class. I just wish I had known someone who had went to this BSN program before I applied, I would not have wasted my time or money. Just 8 more months, hopefully I make it to the end. I have hit my wall of burn out, I've begun having little melt downs & crying on a daily basis here lately. I can not wait till it is over. I keep trying to think positive and see the big picture, I can see a glimmer of the light at the end of the tunnel but I'm so ready to just throw in the towel. Has anyone attended nursing schools similar to one like this & if so, some words of encouragement??
