   ohgreat replied to jpeters84's topic in Hawaii

   As a current student at HPU, I would not recommend attendance here. As jpeters said, its a decent education, but the program is WAYYY too unorganized and will be the source of extreme frustration. It seems like changes occur every freakin semester...

   ohgreat replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

   I did compressions on a code a few weeks ago in clinical. When I heard there was a code coming in, I asked the nurse I was assigned to if it was ok for me to participate. It was definitely an adrenaline rush, but it was very sad at the same time beca...

   Hi leddle, I am a nursing student in my last semester and I also got my EMT cert before getting into nursing school. Actually, the only reason I got my EMT was because I wanted to become a paramedic. During the EMT program, we were required to put in...

7. 3.9 GPA, cant pass Nursing school tests!???

   ohgreat replied to fleurafor's topic in General Students

   Hang in there fleurafor. As some have said, nursing school is a different beast. Tests in other majors ask you to choose the one correct answer from four incorrect choices. Tests in nursing school, however, seem to ask you to choose "the best" answer...

   ohgreat replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

   This is very disheartening. She has had such an impact on my learning as a nursing student. Many times more helpful than my actual professors. I wish I could have thanked her for her support and encouragement.
