  1. Anyone attend the Kirkwood Nursing program?

    Hollyhocks720 replied to hwngrl's topic in General Nursing

    btw the dean changed again since this post. They can't seem to keep a dean. Some of the instructors are just completely worthless. In pharm, one tried three times to show a simple dosage...

  2. Iowa Nursing Students- HELP!!!

    Hollyhocks720 replied to hawkeyeginger's topic in General Nursing

    Kirkwood is concerned only about their nclex pass rate and not about students. They are very money driven. The dean will tell you this regularly. Consequently, they make it very difficult for...

  4. Anyone attend the Kirkwood Nursing program?

    Hollyhocks720 replied to hwngrl's topic in General Nursing

    This is so true. They have the whole program built around insulating the instructors. They have no idea how to teach. It's very pathetic. Students don't mean a thing. Be prepared to teach...

  6. Nursing school pain

    Hollyhocks720 posted a topic in General Students

  9. Nursing school pain

    Hollyhocks720 replied to Hollyhocks720's topic in General Students

    While I appreciate your comments, I disagree that these instructors want us to do well. There is no evidence of that. As as person who has had a lot of schooling, multiple degrees at universities...

  10. Nursing school pain

    Hollyhocks720 replied to Hollyhocks720's topic in General Students

    Agree - but that doesn't make it right! I guess my question is, why? What makes this segment of instructors this way? They make me not want to

  11. Schools push APRN immediately-$$

    Hollyhocks720 replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    I think no matter where you stand, it is a fact that NP's and PA's are being hired interchangeably in the world right now, especially in hospitals. The PA's don't have a nursing background. Both of...

  12. Students who fight back at instructor feedback

    Hollyhocks720 replied to SHGR's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Hollyhocks720 replied to MaryFutureRN's topic in General Students

    I agree that what makes nursing school,difficult is the volume and pace of the material, and the unsubstantiated belief by many instructors that they are required to be jerks to students. They make...

  16. Was my professor out of line?

    Hollyhocks720 replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    That Catholic comment is completely inappropriate. She should be reported but my experience with that is the dept will stand behind the staff so to take a complaint like that to the dept, you will...

  17. First Semester: Lessons learned...

    Hollyhocks720 replied to nlitened's topic in General Students

    I agree it needs to be clarified..but also most instructors in my program are horrible about those inquiries and many of them will be rude from that point on. It makes no sense. Not impressed with...
