1. Sabotaged by my school

   light4Him replied to light4Him's topic in General Students

   I did make an appt. with my instructor... she told me to bring all of my study materials when I come. She told me that I spent way too much time studying. So, she told me to back off a bit... I did that, and my grades were about the same. I saw no ch...

2. Sabotaged by my school

   light4Him replied to light4Him's topic in General Students

   Thank you all for the advice. I just feel doomed, targeted... I have been studying my tail off and at times it feels as though it is for nothing. I have done good so far. I am almost at the end. If I can get through this, my preceptorship is next. I ...

3. Sabotaged by my school

   light4Him replied to light4Him's topic in General Students

   I have been to the instructors... I have used outside tutoring... The syllabus is a joke. The don't stick to it. I read the material, I study, I do extra things like games, worksheets, I even have a study guide for our book that we are using and do...

4. Sabotaged by my school

   light4Him replied to light4Him's topic in General Students

   I went to the department head along with 15 other students and had it explained to us. We had no choice but to sign it. But I also wrote on the paper that I didn't agree with what I was signing and under college policy, this should not apply to us....

5. Sabotaged by my school

   light4Him replied to light4Him's topic in General Students

   I utilize every spare minute that I have. I don't spend time with my family at all anymore. Every night when I come home, I cook dinner, get the kids in bed, and I am back on the books. It's not because I am not putting enough effort into it. I h...

   There are many people that failed Adults II this past term... We started out with 138 and 42 of those failed. You have to have a 75% or better and some people failed by 1 point, 2 points (me), some people failed by a fraction!!! The had a 74.49 and...

7. New CNA needs advice

   light4Him replied to deedee2008's topic in CNA/MA

   The nursing home that I worked at had the state come in there and they told management that CNA's could not have more than 12 residents per CNA. I was so glad that they did that. It made my job alot easier...

8. New CNA needs advice

   light4Him replied to deedee2008's topic in CNA/MA

   Good CNA's are HARD to find these days... I don't understand why people come into this profession if they don't have a heart to help others. I pray to God that I never have to be in a nursing home... pull the plug on me first and let me die!

9. surviving school without study partners

   light4Him replied to Jaxs's topic in Student Assist

   I tried the study group thing, but I have found that I learn more when I just study by myself. I know that this may sound strange, but my instructor told me (regarding cardiac dysrhythmias) to stand in front of the mirror and hold up the strip in fr...

10. regretting going into nursing school

    light4Him replied to NursingIs4CoolPeople's topic in General Students

    I know how you feel... I have felt the same way at times. I have had good clinical experience but the classroom is totally different. I feel that PJC tries to make you fail. They tell you what books to get and you get them... they tell you what yo...

11. Where R U This Summer....

    light4Him replied to AnalegnaRN's topic in General Students

    Yeah, we do.. Adults I was a blur for me. I passed it with a B, but it was the GI system, urinary system, cancer... things of that nature. Adults II is only respiratory and cardiac, Adults III, from what I understand, is legal/ethics, ortho/nuero, ...

12. Let's Be Honest...

    light4Him replied to walktheline's topic in General Students

    Lol, yes... I couldn't live without my buddy Ibuprofen. Aleve works good too! Any antiinflammatory will work best. I know that by the time I am done with nursing school I will have a bleeding ulcer from taking so much of it. But whatever I have t...

13. Let's Be Honest...

    light4Him replied to walktheline's topic in General Students

    One thing that is readily available in nursing school is fellow students. If you need any help doing anything, you will be able to get help. I too have preexisting health problems. I have been in 7 car accidents and I can't lift over 20 pounds. M...

14. Scrubs?

    light4Him replied to jessica<3RN's topic in General Students

    Most of your uniform shops know about the logos that have to be printed on the tops. I paid $15 for mine to be done. It really just depends on what you want and what is comfortable for you.

15. Why Apothecaries system??

    light4Him replied to surggirl's topic in General Students

    Wow, I didn't realize that we were like almost the only ones that are not using the SI system. When you put it on a map like that, it just makes sense that we should. I am one of the ones that can't wrap my mind around the mileage though. Kilomete...
