I just graduated from a BSN program in Florida. The most frustrating thing about the entire experience is that the administration kept changing the courses and requirements. Each semester my class was subject to "experimental" changes in the curriculum. And after each semester the change was changed back to how it was before. I really hated that. They changed more than one thing at a time too. When they taught us about helping the patients with change, they said to incorporate one change at a time and try to include the patient in making the decision about how to change. The administration did not do any of these things that we were taught. That just increased our (as students) already high levels of anxiety.
The adminisration could never answer any questions either. It seemed like no one knew whta was going on. I went to Barry University in Miami, FL. I think I got a quality education, but it could have been so much less stressful. We had our OB/PEDS teacher start crying in class when we were just trying to tell her about the problems that we were having in the class. She started crying and left the room. How UNPROFESSIONAL is that??

Sorry about your experience, but, it seems to be a norm in BSN programs to have inadequate administration. University Nevada Las Vegas is just as bad and the staff was just unprofessional. I know I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. But congratulation on graduation. The sad part is that you will probably not get a pay difference for your BSN compared to a A.A. RN or diploma RN. Which is why we will never truly be considered professional.
