Any other nursing students out there feel like all you do is jump through hoops? I feel more like a whale at sea world than a college student. All I do is "jump through hoops" and perform tricks so I can get a grade and move on to the next one. Instead of learning, we make portfolios, change projects, process recordings, write journals, etc etc.. Semester one, I figured out the hard way that it's better to lie on a care plan, make up irrelevant data for diagnoses, and say I did bogus interventions than to truthfully put what I actually did that day at clinicals. Semester 2, I talked to my peers and found out each of our professors had been grading the same assignments differently (even though they have a rubric they are supposed to grade by???). So then I learned how each of my sea-world trainers(professors) wanted my tricks(BS busywork) performed so I could please them and pass the class. I seriously don't think I have learned anything important in school the past 2 years since I got into nursing school and stopped taking real college classes.
Sorry for the negativity btw, I love actual nursing and can't wait to be a nurse, but am just fed up with school.
