Very discouraged with nursing school..

Published

:cry: So I am attending nursing school at Broward College, I am very discouraged again because When I started nursing I got up to process 2 and at return demo I didnt pass for silly mistakes and since I had to do it with 100% accuracy I didnt pass. I had to retrack into the program and I started Process 2 allll over again and then they give us the math test.... ok out of 200 students only 7 passed the test. This caused a big discussion because the test was very tricky and they gave us problems we hadn't even gone over in class or EVER for that matter. They went over the test and kept discussing it for like an hour, so then next lab they give us a practice test and they timed it for an hour like the regular test is and everyone did extremely well I only missed 1 question!! But of course this test was wayyyyyyyyyy easier than the first test. So then they give us the last math test which is pass or fail and if you fail you have to withdraw. I got all of the problems right except for 2 and when I looked at the one they marked wrong I had put 83 ml/HR because it had to be put on a pump and the math professor Ms. B taught us to always round to the whole number for drops and for infusion pumps. She said I should have left it at 83.3 ml/hr. Its like they teach us one thing they give the test and then they mark wrong what they teach you. This is so upsetting to me. I am not even sure if I even want to do nursing anymore. I feel like if its going so bad for me and I keep failing then maybe nursing is not for me. Even though I know in my heart that this is what I have always wanted to do, and I feel it is my calling. I Just feel like Broward College Nursing is very $$$ interested because even the second math test is given after the drop date with a refund which means that If you don't pass that second test you dont get your money back and you have only attended 2 classes!!! So guess what? The nursing professors just got a FAT check because all the guys who failed the math don't get their money back. I don't know what to do?? Should I switch to the South Campus since its closer to my house?
