3. Why am I bombing my OB rotation?

   julsywulsy replied to julsywulsy's topic in General Students

   I did review the info and it is my critical thinking that is wrong. I just dont "see it" the way everyone else does I guess. Others in the class are doing really well, it just seems to be something with me. I have a review lined up for Tuesday ...

4. Why am I bombing my OB rotation?

   julsywulsy posted a topic in General Students

6. Nursing 101 Question - Experienced Nurses, how would you answer this?

   julsywulsy replied to julsywulsy's topic in Orthopaedic

   Thank you for supporting my answer A which I was told was incorrect. As there was no evidence of CS (no symptoms listed other than pain) I thought A was correct. The Lecturer told us it was to cut the cast off, but didnt really give us her rationale...

8. Nursing 101 Question - How would you answer this?

   julsywulsy replied to julsywulsy's topic in General Students

   I see that they wanted us to answer thinking that it was CS. However, in other questions I answered in the way that I was "thinking ahead" and they said we were "jumping the gun"... ?????? Is this just because I am new to the whole "critical think...

9. Threatening clinical instructor

   julsywulsy replied to Elle.p.enn's topic in General Students

   We have 2 instructors just like this. I really think that some of them have the mindset where they want to "thin out" the weak students. The other clinical instructors really just want to teach. I would make an appt with her and discuss it. After ...

    Thank you so much for answering this!!! I too chose this answer and got it WRONG!?? Our instructors told us that the correct answer is to call for the cast-cutter. I am assuming that they were suggesting Compartment Syndrome but I felt there was...

13. had it with nursing school already!

    julsywulsy replied to CANewRN's topic in General Students

    I know exactly what you mean. I am in my first year and having been out of the school experience for so long, I see the "clicks" and the "backstabbing" all too much. Just realise that women are catty and its their nature to be catty. (Sorry but its...
