This is a petition for the opening of a Nursing Fundamentals class in the summer of 2015-3 at Miami Dade College Medical Campus. As nursing students, we study hard and we push. We not only make sacrifices to do well and become something great in life, but so does our families, children and significant others. After taking an exam that is not only not of Miami Dade College but this exam is 15% of our grade and pretty much the indicator of whether or not we will pass or fail the fundamentals class. Despite it being unfair, we are now faced with the risk of being two semesters behind for something some of us felt we were unprepared for. Although students did indeed pass, most admitted to guessing on some of the stuff because they were either not prepared for it or simply because it was on a level beyond ours. At this point we are getting shut down from all avenues and will be taking this action. Sign this petition and support us in becoming your future nurses!

The feedback from fellow students has clarified just how many of us are facing the same uncertainty regarding our academic path. I am currently working to document these experiences so that we can present a unified account when we approach the department administration. This process requires patience but I am committed to ensuring our collective concerns are treated with the seriousness they deserve.

Seeing this resolve grow among my peers affirms that the struggle we are facing is shared by so many within our program. This momentum shows that our concerns regarding the fairness of these exams and the impact on our futures deserve a genuine audience.

They should not make the Hesi worth so much. The Hesi doesn't not determine if you are going to be a great nurse. I meet amazing students in this program that have study so hard and devoted themselves to this program. These students should move along next semester. Something needs to change, if we want amazing nurses with good hearts in the work field.
It is unfair to work so hard an entire semester, end up with a 89 or a 90 and still fail because of one test that doesn't even give you partial credit if you get 50%.
By making more classes available for these students you are not only increasing enrollment but helping the future nurses of America.Many students don't want to be behind and they rather take summer classes.Overall approving this petition would beneficial for both students and the college.Hopefully we find the necessary professors to teach these classes.
I know all the students that didn't pass.They are my freinds, my classmates Some quit their full time job to study,I know their sacrifices. We studied together and sometimes cry together too. It is not right that after 5 test only the last one which you have like 10 days to study for decided your future. It is so much stress and not healthy. So please open a summer class for them. They are good working hard students that deserve the chance. Good luck
This is unfair now that my son was finally making process they cut him down. A summer off will discourage many of the nursing students who have made plans financial sacrifices many changes so now there back at the beginning, what would they do get a job just for summer? Waste three months to what end? Teach them a lesson? Not fair
Then some people wonder why there is a nursing shortage... I am so fed up with this BS. Then the people who sit on their ass all day aren't even answering the students calls or facing the students. THEY DO NOT CARE!! THIS IS SO UNFAIR!!
Nurses are important ! Let's help them

They should open a class since many of us just adapted to the new way of studying now having a summer of is just going to though us back instead of keeping us in the learning mode. Many of us quick our jobs now a summer off will just unbalce our lives. We feel bad enough repeating this class. Is not fair.
