It's truly draining. I mean all programs have a rigorous curriculum and that's to be expected, but the racist instructors who work purposely to fail you is the most difficult to deal with. My cohort was mostly cadaans/ asians. We were already small in number when it came to African/blacks. When we started the program we were about 7 people. When we graduated, only I and 2 others were left. They managed to shrink us by more than half! While the cadaans/ asians mostly graduated. I swear, before going to clinical rotations or exams I'd read Dua to guard myself against these racist bastards.
These instructors know that nursing is a field that is flexible, stable and makes great money, so they'll try to gatekeep you. They don't want an influx of minorities becoming successful in a highly desired field.
