   Catma63 posted a topic in General Students

   I haven't posted to this forum in a long time and, upon finding it again, thought perhaps I could attempt to gain advice again here. I was a nursing student. I completed the first year of a two-year RN program and failed the third semester by one po...

2. What can a RN delegate to a CNA?

   Catma63 replied to Angelfish1234's topic in General Nursing

   As an RN student working as an NA, I can easily say that some nurses have attitudes and don't want to work either. ;-)

3. Why cant I see my final test paper?

   Catma63 replied to aruray's topic in General Students

   Sometimes I think that's exactly why they destroy them....so we won't know!

4. Question for nursing students who successfully completed the semester

   Catma63 replied to SarasotaRN2b's topic in General Students

   I am disappointed to read some of the replies in this thread. As a 41 year old, if I've learned nothing in life, I've learned never to make negative assumptions about another person. Actually, I've learned not to assume at all. None of us can begin t...

   You know, I'm glad I saw this thread. It's like I was meant to see it, guided to it. After reading of her disappointment yet her determination and then reading the encouraging posts that followed, I feel so extremely comforted. This latest reply real...

8. good med-surg book?

   Catma63 replied to porknbeans's topic in General Students

   I was just about to recommend this one as it helped me a lot with Med-Surg when I took it last semester. The Incredibly Easy books are good too (though I don't have one yet). Another book that I used was Medical_Surgical Nursing: Reviews and Rational...

11. I passed! 84 on Final Exam

    Catma63 replied to MrsStraty's topic in General Students

    You so said it....One of the things that has helped me the most was remembering that I, in my new status of failed student, will not be the first and I won't be the last. I recall my nursing instructor telling us (this was the first year instructor) ...

    Catma63 replied to MrsStraty's topic in General Students

    Congratulations on passing!! You are so blessed, too. I look at the requirements to pass in your course and am so envious. Were I where you are, I would have passed...(still moaning and groaning in Virginia....*shrugs*) We had to have an 80 to pass ...
