WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS NURSING SCHOOL DOING!?!?

I have been a nursing student for almost three years, I am about to graduate and I feel like this degree has been absolute bullshit and I have no idea where to start.

The assignments!? Ridiculous. A case study for a patient in palliative care, a 15 minute oral, three questions we don’t know so we can’t study for, no notes or helpful tools allowed. AND WERE SUPPOSED TO SITE 12 SOURCES!?!? AND THE ABSOLUTE FUCKING LACK OF HELP!!!!! WERE NOT ALLOWED TO SHOW OUR TEACHERS OUR ESSAYS FOR FEEDBACK! IF YOUR LUCJY THEY MAY RESPOND TO A QUESTION IN THE PORTAL, THE ONLY PROPER FUCKING SOURCE WE HAVE IS AN AI TOOL TO CHECK FUCKING GRAMMAR!!!!

The placements!? If you have never cried on placement you are not just lucky, you are a painfully painfully small minority. Crying is so normalised it is not a joke. The tik toks on social media about burned out broken nurses are not exaggeration. And good luck if you go rural! Accomodation is a bitch to organise! And all the good specialities are in the middle of butt fuck no where!!!!
