  1. Hi everyone, I really need some advice! I'm currently enrolled in an accelerated nursing program but I'm seriously considering dropping out. I want to be a nurse and love nursing, but I have completely lost faith in my program. It has a low NCLEX passing rate and now that I've finished half the program, I can see why. Professors don't teach and frequently change exam and assignment guidelines, dates of exams, how much exams are worth, etc. at the last minute, making it very difficult to manage the workload. They give out incorrect information (to hear mitral heart sounds, place stethoscope under the armpit?!) and do not give feedback on exams or assignments, so it's very hard to improve. I got into my program with a 4.0 GPA in the prerequisites and a 93 on the HESI A2. After 18 credits, my nursing GPA is a 3.57. I am in danger of failing two courses, however. Three people have left my class of twenty already and half the class failed our most recent exam. I have tried speaking to professors about how to improve my grades and they have little helpful advice, if they are even willing to meet with me. I think I would perhaps fare better at a different nursing school, with more academic integrity. Would it be possible to go to another school if I dropped out now and had 5 Ws on my transcript from this semester? Does my nursing school experience so far qualify me to do any other kind of health care work? I'm at the end of my rope.. I didn't want to go into too much detail here about the lack of integrity of my program, but I have become so distressed by this situation that I was recently prescribed Zoloft and Alprazolam and have started seeing a therapist. I don't want to stay in this awful program, but I don't want to give up on my dream of working in health care. Any advice would be very much appreciated!
