Photo: A stolen shot from my co-nursing student of whom I do not know, reviewing for the finals
Amid everyone saying their pieces on the new nursing curriculum, I would like to share with you my opinions regarding that matter. Have you ever tried asking a student nurse form the upper levels about our batch's curriculum? Chances are all you'll get is a a pitying look thus getting the impression that it is really HARD. They say its tough, I say its MANAGEABLE. I 'm not trying to be a know-it-all here but rather I can say so because I can still manage to cope up with my the daily dose of stresses, maybe because from the start, I kind of expected it to be that demanding. Besides, I can't even compare it with the other levels curriculum because for one, I haven't experienced theirs . How can you possibly juxtapose two things on which one is entirely vague to you?
Even our professors tell us that our curriculum is hard. Now that act may lead only to two effects: You get motivated more to learn or you subconciously accept the fact that it really is hard. If you get challenged by your professors statements, good for you but oftentimes it results to a plain paper of "mediocrity" in a sense that professors are the ones adjusting to the students which should be the other way around. It became more of "spoon-feeding", lessening the workload of the students because the professor is aware of the other subjects that demand time from the students as well. I myself noticed this in our classroom, the more the professor says some thing that goes like this "Klase,ang hirap ng kurikulum nyo...",the more the students get less motivated therefore I hypothesize that there is a clear connection between a negative perception to the motivation of students. I have to do research on this.
