All other RUC students, let’s show our support for our fellow nursing students - this semester has been hard on all of us but the testing structure in the nursing program has made it that much more unbearable for our nursing majors.]]> 2021-03-17 05:16:52 UTC https://padlet.com/unk6/supportnursingstudents/wish/1319032846 jhc157 https://padlet.com/unk6/supportnursingstudents/wish/1362258884 Testing should allow students to exemplify the things they learned and to show how they are engaging with new information and knowledge - testing shouldn't distract students from the goal of expanding their capacity to learn and proving their understanding of the material. The testing structure of the nursing school has students more concerned with avoiding unreasonably-defined infractions and rule violations. Because of these rules, such as students being mandated to sit in uncomfortable positions and being disallowed from touching their faces, has resulted in undue stress and anxiety that will only hurt students in the short- and long-term. Testing should make students feel more comfortable with education, not less.

I was absolutley horrified when I first heard about the testing situation that you guys are all going through. You are all incredible for sticking it out all of this time -- I don't think I could have. I know this doesn't mean much, but please know that we are here for you - Nitan Shanas]]> 2021-03-29 00:19:34 UTC https://padlet.com/unk6/supportnursingstudents/wish/1362263998 https://padlet.com/unk6/supportnursingstudents/wish/1362267413 Some people have an aspiration  to help others especially during their hard times. Having such vigorous and strict guidelines deteriorate them from fulfilling this goal!

I was used to noticing their stress from pre-pandemic, however- what I’m seeing now makes me very concerned. It has skyrocketed where my friends have had anxieties because they were worried they accidentally touched their face too often. My roommate has to take so many ridiculously time consuming and extra steps to ensure he can take his exam due to these policies even though  other methods to prevent cheating work without going to extremes. From what I’ve heard,  Professors aren’t listening to the students who know firsthand what this experience is like.  It is overtly ridiculous and I know my campus can do better at listening to their students. ]]> 2021-03-29 00:25:33 UTC https://padlet.com/unk6/supportnursingstudents/wish/1362276146
