Im a 5th year irregular nursing student. I successfully defended my thesis today, and while I should feel proud, I can’t help but feel disappointed. As a working student, one of my biggest struggles throughout nursing school has always been finding a way to pay for tuition every enrollment. I used to have scholarships that helped me, but they’re gone now. Because of financial difficulties, I had to stop for 1 semester and 1 summer class(for nstp classes) which made me an irregular student. I’ve always been a late enrollee, but most professors understood my situation. Unfortunately, my NSTP professor didn’t. Even though I had officially enrolled just a week prior, she told me not to attend class because she had already dropped me. I was supposed to graduate this semester, but because of that missing NSTP subject, I now have to take summer classes. My clearance won’t be approved early, I won’t be able to attend graduation, and I also won’t be able to take the board exam this August. After everything, I can honestly say I can’t wait to leave this school. It has brought me so much frustration and unfair treatment. No matter how capable you are, if you're financially struggling, everything can still fall apart.
