[QUOTE="donna723, post: 312525, member: 1883"] I know when my daughter was in nursing school it was very tough. This was fourteen years ago. There was tons of material to learn and nobody spoonfeeded them. And you could miss only a certain number of days and then you were out ... didn't matter if you were making straight A's or what the reason was that caused you to miss classes ... you were still out. It was very compact and a lot to learn in a short time, but I don't think her instructors were particularly hard on them or purposely gave them a bad time of it. They were just very strict and expected a lot out of them. I was very surprised at the people in her class. I figured they would mostly be young, around her age. She was just nineteen when she started and was the youngest one in her class. But at least half of them were older women who had finally gotten their last kid launched and wanted to start a new career. And in her class over half of the ones that started never finished. Some dropped out when they saw how tough it was, some flunked out with bad grades, and some missed too many days and were booted out for that. And some of the ones that did graduate went on and did something else later and never worked the first day a a nurse! I will never figure that one out! [/QUOTE]
