The first test...

We had our first Med/Surg test today. I made an 81 on it. The day did not start out that great though. Our first computerized, timed test and we, once again, get screwed. We get there before 8, because the test starts at 8. The teacher shows up 10 min. late. We walk in to the classroom where we are supposed to take the test. Every single computer is completely unplugged. Screens, mouse, keyboards, everything. They are brand new computers and have never even been hooked up the LSCPA network. Yeah this is going to be great. At 8:30 we are told to move to a different classroom. We go to this classroom, begin to log-in, Over half the people in the class do not have access to the test. Instead of the teacher asking all of us to wait to take the test when the other students have access (And like the other instructor had told her to do) she tells us that have access to go ahead and start the test. I know this is a very bad idea, because 1-she is going to continue to keep talking to the people who don't have access and 2-she will continue to answer her cell phone that is NOT on vibrate or silent. But I go ahead and do what she says because she keeps standing behind me and telling me what to do. So I start the test and guess what, she keeps talking. I can't even comprehend the questions. I get to about question 15 and guess what happens next! The other students get access to the test and it shuts everyone else tests down. It was sooo frustrating. And all the instructor kept saying was "Be patient". Yeah. So we had to start the test all over again. So I am just lucky I made that 81 instead of failing because of all of the distractions. These people have got to get their acts together. This is ridiculous. We have paid A LOT of money and have put A LOT of our time into this. We deserve to be treated better. And the whole reason we are going through this....so the Head of the department can get a nice bonus at the end of the year. Very sad. So we get a crappy education and don't do well on the NCLEX so she can have more money. The world is a screwed up place.
