The University of Hartford

Major: Nursing (This Major's Salary over time)
Took the BSN course of study at the university-was unable to reach my advisor by phone or email for two out of four years at school-had to forge her signature onto registration forms. During our last semester clinical we never saw our clinical advisor at all and we were assigned to work at an inner city homeless shelter. My two partners did not show up for half of the clinicals and I ended up doing all of the work. My complaints fell on deaf ears when I tried to speak to the faculty members in charge of clinical rotations-they just poohpoohed everything I said-and yet those two jokers got to share my grade with me. I approached another faculty member about it, and she stated "Well, see how important communication is…you all need to communicate better with each other" and proceeded afterward to reject the capstone paper that I handed in independently and instead graded one that my colleagues had sent in-essentially a first draft of my paper that I had e-mailed to them-that included all three of our names. This program is going to be under review this coming fall and I hope they get stripped of their accreditation as I am not the only person who has been put through the wringer by these people. In closing I must add that all other classes in all other departments such as the english, math, history, and art departments were excellent, it is just the Nursing Department that is so horrific.
