Why do college professors want pre-nursing students to fail?

its not that they want best people to pass. that should be determined in the actual program. just cause someone has the ability to remember things quick, doesn't mean they'll be a good nurse. all the teachers are inconsiderate and forget that they once were students. we have a life you know!!!! its a conspiracy in my school!!!!

Re-read your question and you might have answered it for yourself. Nursing is a profession where it is important to be able to put other's needs foremost in your mind. It is a profession where doctors and therapists and others may be driving the decisions much of the time while it is the nurse who is acting on the decisions. It is a profession where people are sick and scared and not at their best, and their families are also scared and impatient and sometimes demanding of answers that simply cannot be had quickly.

The nurse has to deal with all of this with patience and clarity. In your writing, you don't present yourself as patient, as accepting the authority of others, and as understanding of anyone's needs but your own. Are you SURE that YOU have what it takes to be a good nurse?

The professors do not want people to fail. They want to succeed in identifying the people who have the traits to be good nurses, and they do it early so if you are NOT one of those people, you have time to consider other options before you've invested alot of time and money on this career track.

because they only want the best people to pass. its not they want you to fail.
