Trocaire College

Date: Dec 06 2010
Major: Nursing (This Major's Salary over time)
I am currently a 3rd semester nursing student with a 3.4ave. To talk about Trocaire with anything less than complete disgust would not do it justice. Starting for the beginning of my normal day, I live 20min away but have to get up half an hour earilier to look for parking. Walking up to the school, I will even admit they have made some alterations to the school to be better on the eyes, but still is in the middle of South Buffalo. Now here is where half of my frustraion really begins, it is a small Catholic school, of which our tuition matches Universities and we have nothing to show for it. I have been in classes where students have to sit on the window sill. No Gym, No AC, No Food Service ( unless you call ABBOTT Pizza being delivered a worthy substitute ). Since I will only speak of my program's expierence. First semester was a FANTASTIC expierence and FANTASTIC instructors. Then came second semester and so forth. Putting it politely, it is an outdated program, with ignorant, rude, demeaning instructors!!! The program director hasnt seen the inside of a hospital in years and her subordinates are very much stuck in their ways and will have nothing to do with anything outside of "The Trocaire Way" Trocaire's Sim Lab is a joke with non-functioning manequins, NO supplies despite our lab fee's, and a fully stocked video library with all of the best hits from 1970. Guys its not all bad, but your dollar can take you much farther and with the same if not better education.
