Why is nursing school the way that it is

I'm halfway through an accelerated 15 month nursing program. Our cohort is 29 students. Our professors don't know the material, main clinical instructor is incompetent and tries to give the wrong meds to patients, and the director is an oddball with stupid clinical rules- like I'm talking, can't have any hair color besides "natural colors" and must cover up arm tattoos (when we were told they were fine during orientation). They are constantly giving us the wrong/conflicting information regarding the rules, clinical times, and other things. I could get into so much more, but I'll refrain. The school is a disaster not even FEMA could clean up.

Last week I missed clinical because I tested positive for the flu at the doctor's. I asked if I could get an excused absence because I can't control getting sick and I'm not going to show up to clinical with the flu. They said it can't be excused. If we miss >3 clinicals we get kicked out of the program.

Our program is a bachelor's and the other program at school is an associates. The associates program gets EVERYthing- all the good instructors, clinical spots and they get to use the lab the most. We get nothing, probably because the school wants those students to come back and get their bachelor's after. I literally pay so much money for school and I'm so disheartened by this. I want to be a really good nurse and they just don't care to teach me like I matter.

I'm just like unbelievably frustrated with nursing school because I really thought the hardest part would be the content but it turns out the content is the easiest part. The social dynamic, lack of choice for professors/instructors and rules are killing me. I can't believe it's only been 8 months, it feels like 2 years.

Please tell me I'm not the only one so frustrated with their school. I just feel like I made such a big mistake and I'm wasting my money.
