Howard Nursing Students Picket
Around 50 nursing students at Howard University picketed Tuesday, protesting the shoddy education they say they've been receiving for years, the Hilltop reports. Their efforts prompted the administration to hold a town hall meeting on Wednesday evening where the students' concerns were discussed but no specific action was undertaken.
Last year, students organized a walk-out of exams, which threatened the school's accreditation. The protesters' list of demands includes improvement in teaching, testing standards, and overall organization of the school's priorities.

Loss of Nursing License
I lost my nursing license from the VA State Board of Nursing because I was set up by my husband's family so they could inherit all (all) of his money. The sad thing was, my husband was behind it all (may he rest in peace.
The Government system is in place and those employed stand behind the wall of authority and the everyday citizen is no longer valued.
Needing Help..
I am a nursing Student that is in the same situation as of other students that wrote on here. I want to become a nurse but there is really no one there to help me get there to become one. I have no experience in being a nurse, except in clinical settings. Having that said, I look for my teachers to give me knowledge and the foundation that I need to be able to succeed . I have paid thousands of dollars Only to ,in the end, teach myself. It has gotten so bad at times that I start to question whether Nursing is for me or not.I know it is for me because words can't explain how I feel ,at the end of the day, after helping someone who couldn't even help themselves. I love helping others and I wanted to make a career in doing that. If this doesn't work out, I will keep going until I conquer my dreams in becoming a nurse.Times like this will never stop me because if I don't conquer my dreams it will seem like the fight and the money and time spent was all for nothing and I will not let it go like that. I feel Like what you all are doing is very courages and I hope you all succeed amd I pray that I will too !!!
