Is the WKU Nursing program declining?

For the past year i have met students in the WKU Nursing Programs that have dropped it.

I hear that WKU has new Professors cant coordinate the nursing program well. when you ask a question to multiple professors they contradict them selves. I have heard that students pass out during exams from stress.

Nursing school should push you mentally and build you to be ready for the work place, not compromise your health.

One time i heard that out of an entire class only a few passed the first exam. They had to allow a retake for the class, which they they are strict about not allowing, and that really say a lot.

I want to leave this here and ask, is the WKU Nursing program worth it? Are the professors changing the WKU nursing program and its compromising students? are we better off applying to other nursing programs? do you have positive experiences with the WKU Nursing program?

I feel Nursing is one of those majors where people REALLY don't know what they're getting into. I knew quite a few nursing majors, and maybe I'm judging too harshly, but...let's just say I couldn't really imagine a lot of them doing the job. At least professionally.
