1. Need advice--possibly failing orientation

   longbow.shelly replied to Semper_Gumby's topic in Ob/Gyn

   That's horrible! To me it seems like your "team" didn't support you in your learning curve time. I worked at a hospital that had a policy of eliminating the ZERO FAULT OR FIRED standard, which gave nurses opportunity to learn, opportunity to ask fo...

2. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

   longbow.shelly replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

   ***DING***DING***DING***DING*** I was chuckling when I read this. I know exactly what you mean. When an educator/clinical instructor shows up on the floor, it may not be on your radar as a nurse. It's not like they announce to all the nurses who...

7. UMB prerequisites, help please!

   longbow.shelly replied to ambz13's topic in Maryland

   I had some goofy grades from 20 years ago but they were still RIGHT THERE on my transcript when I applied. My GPA when I applied was 3.82 for the college where I graduated from, 3.0 overall on graduation day with the bad 20-year old grades, and for ...

10. Posting advice: "I can't do this, ...I don't understand you"

    longbow.shelly replied to cmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    LOL! Exlnt!!!! (Excellent, for those text challenged folks) Here's my take : It's good to be highly discerning and critical when it comes to saving lives and making important decisions. But I think being so "Type A" that you have to knock on othe...

11. Websites...

    longbow.shelly replied to FutureRN~Pookie's topic in General Students

    http://www.khanacademy.org/ is a great site for remembering all things chemistry and many things biology. Scroll down on page. I used to use this to review while studying Chemistry. Nice, slow, easy to follow 9 minute onscreen lectures.

13. If 50% of the class failed an exam..Was it because the instructor failed to teach?

    longbow.shelly replied to hopefully's topic in General Students

    Yes. Is this something that faculty finds "admirable?" ~~~Being the teacher that no one can learn from? How is this a virtue on a resume? All teaching and learning styles aside, it's the teacher's responsibility to TEACH. It's the student's resp...

14. My learning experience...just to share

    LOL! Hall of Shame! Oh, I can't wait! LOL!

15. My learning experience...just to share

    longbow.shelly replied to dudette10's topic in General Students

    WOW! You are absolutely RIGHT! It IS hard to refocus after being sliced to bits. I mean, all that snapping is terribly distracting and invasive to the learning curve! I'm going to file this away under my "ADMIRABLE BEHAVIOR" section of my mind,...
