I was accepted to a local Community College RN program, and today was the orientation. Only 10 students were there, apparently we were the early acceptance group as no other students had been notified as of yet. We were all called on Friday, informed to pick up an information packet (which was incomplete), and finally told orientation would be today (wednesday) at noon. There were three instructors at the orientation, also these are the three instructors for the actual program as well. One of them was nice and professional, the other two not so much. Long story short they huffed and puffed like 6 year olds during the orientation whenever they encountered a question from any of us. They were not clear with their instructions or explanations and at one point another student asked for clarification and was told "I just said that, didn't you hear me?!". His was a simple question about folders, the teacher said to get "three big notebooks", he asked "do you mean spiral or 3-ring" and she got visibly upset and kind of snapped at him. It was a weird moment, very weird. This scenerio continued to happen through each phase of the orientation, whenever something wasn't perfect to their liking they would roll their eyes and huff-and-puff about it. Now, I'm not one to complain but I don't take kindly to their unprofessionalism. I'm 31, I have a B.A., I'm a professional airline pilot making a career change, and the other students were of equal age and education. The instructors treated the whole orientation as if we were somehow below them. You're training future professional nurses so treat us that way, we are not children. It was so upseting that still tonight I'm shaking my head at the way these "professional instructors" handled themselves. After the orientation we just looked at each other with the *** just happened face, it was funny but sad at the same time.
