  1. Not Getting "A's"

    Let me put it this way.... my GPA on its way down a mountain at full speed. :-\ Passing is 76% in our school and honestly, it's the only thing I'm hoping to get. Anything above that is extras.
  2. Overwhelmed

    In a few years, it won't matter that you got a C on your exams. Seriously, not everyone tests well, it doesn't mean you don't know the material. Nursing tests are challenging and for a good reason ;-) If your passion is to become a nurse, wake up tom...
  3. Hardest part of nursing school is...

    Could not agree more. I get that it's a great learning tool in a safe environment but seriously, I hate being judged. I hate being critiqued. And that's what this is. Ugh... I also almost always forget what I'm supposed to do right before I go into t...
  4. What to do when you have two answers left on an exam?

    Thank you all so much for your replies!! I will definitely look into the advice you've given me. :) And yep, I overthink all of the time. Argh! Thanks guys!
  5. I realize saying "I'm a horrible test taker" is an excuse but it is true. LOL I find when I take nursing exams for lecture, I always have two answers that are left and end up making a guess as to which one is correct. Is there anyone that has been in...
  6. Hospital Infant Security Systems

    We use HUGS... never had a problem with it. Never heard of the Kisses portion but it makes sense!
  7. What do patients say that irks you?

    Omgosh for a second there I thought I was back in a nursing school lecture.
  8. Animosity between L/D & Postpartum

    Totally the same thing in our unit too. I almost feel the L&D nurses think the PP nurses are slackers... and while there are definitely slackers (on both units), there's no need to assume the entire floor is. Both units have hard working nurses, ...
  9. I only want to be a PP or L&D nurse.....

    Yes ma'am, you sound just like me (minus having children)! I am currently in nursing school and will not settle for a job besides the one that I want after graduation. Yes, I've had numerous people tell me that I should start on a medical floor first...
  10. Made a mistake!

    Just wanted to say... right after anyone makes a mistake (whether it be as a nurse or outside the hospital), we always try to run from it (ie: change units thinking you shouldn't be in L&D). Everyone's going to make a mistake somewhere down the l...
  11. anyone at tech for OB?

    I'm a tech on an OB floor and absolutely love it. We ambulate, do vitals, help with circumcisions, weigh babies, bathe babies, peri care on both section and vag patients. It's a very fulfilling, happy job (for the most part). :) Good luck.
  12. My most important tip for a nursing student is....

    Xanax.... Just kidding. Remember that there IS in fact a life outside of school. You almost have to schedule that to keep yourself in check.
  13. How much did you pay for books your first year?

    I believe I paid $800.
  14. A Typical Week at Nursing School?

    My suggestion to you right now is to look at the college you plan on attending for nursing and see what pre-reqs you must have... Anatomy and Physiology there's not much you can do to get those done ahead of time while in high school. However, things...
  15. How did everyone do this semester?

    Honestly, I just want to pass. I do not care about A's anymore. I had a final today we won't know the grade until tomorrow and a final tomorrow that I need to do well on. Just.want.to.pass.
