What makes Nursing school so tough that many people end up dropping out???

Nursing schools subssitute quantity for quality, they seem to think if they give you lots and lots of work it means more, so people get burned out on writing papers on "three ways of knowing" and such nonsense.

Yes!

Nursing College is very challenging but it can be done. Sometimes the Instructors expects half the class to fail and so I believe that they act on it. I have seen students go to a particular nursing college and were being kicked out because of poor performance and those students go to other schools and graduated top of their classes.

One has to be very focus in Nursing College and try to remember what you are in school for; to succeed. I am an Adult who takes my studies seriously and I had a very hrad time with a teacher at the college I used to attend. She was new and because of this she could not think for herself she consulted other people who were not student friendly. She was one of the favorite at the school and so she could not do no wrong. It took a nother student to expose the happenings at the school for them to realize that things were not as it seemed. Now, they have gotten rid of the Dean and maybe she will be next. God always provide a witness for his children! I am a nursing student at another school but I am very happy. As I said, I am not afraid of the material but Instructors should respect students and not discuss their private lives with others.
