Hey former classmate, I agree with having to be in the "in crowd" not only with the teachers but from the other classmates as well. And the teachers can and will do whatever they want. I am just glad it's over. I can't talk too negatively about it though. I did pass my nclex first try and like you said the hospitals around here do think highly of NWCC grads. I was trying to figure out how many clinical hours we spent each semester. I was thinking about changing my resume to reflect my clinical experience. I ran across your post so I just wanted to say hi
