So, I'm a few weeks away from graduation and was reflecting with some friends over dinner about what we hated at our particular nursing school. Here was our list, what is yours? We were especially curious to hear about other Boston area school's experience.
We have to waive health insurance every semester of the program. If you miss the deadline by even an hour, you have to pay the school almost $2,000 dollars, even if you already have insurance.
The faculty create stupid online courses so they don't have to show up, grade, or provide instruction, but it looks like they are working. Many of these classes are pretty much just discussion board posts to each other that no one reads. Grading is awesomely random. When you complain about the lack of content, faculty become aggressive.
Changes in certification mean that you have to take additional classes, but your advisor never informs you of this, but it is still your fault for not signing up.
While your school has awesome simulation labs, you only step foot in them twice during your entire schooling, and then only to watch other people do simulation. Yet your school seems to get thousands of dollars in grant funds for training in simulation.
You signed up to go to your particular school because you were lead to believe they were interested in starting a midwifery program. Then, once you are partway through, you are told that they are absolutely NOT starting one, sorry, but by the way your tuition has gone up $9,000 from what you were originally told.
Your advisor is pretty assuredly autistic, yet none of the faculty seem to notice.
