  1. How to deal with a rude classmate?

    I can see this situation between two dudes. Guy 1: "HEY, WHAT THE *** IS YOUR PROBLEM?" Guy 2: "Dude, you suck. Get away from me." Guy 1: "You gotta problem with me? Do we need to take this outside, bro?" Guy 2: "Let's go, chump." POW BAM SMASH SNO...
  2. How to deal with a rude classmate?

    Seriously, who cares what she thinks? She might have an attitude problem, or be intimidated by you, or she might just not care to be friends with you. It doesn't matter either way. You're not there to impress her, or please her. She has no bearin...
  3. Bedmaking: the CORE of nursing practice. LOL.
  4. If my husband is any indication, breasts remain fascinating basically forever. I'm waiting until gravity takes its toll to see if that holds true.
  5. Oh, why did I do this??

    Have you ever heard of James Herriot's All Creature's Great and Small? It's about a country vet in England. He talks about his first months out of school- his book learning versus his practical learning. It's a funny, charming book, and he talks v...
  6. Reducing Test Taking Anxiety

    A few of my classmates have found that propanolol is the answer. I'm not being flippant. Test anxiety in nursing school can ruin students. We have a couple on benzos and several on propanolol for tests. The day before a test, if at all possible, I ...
  7. 20+ hours per week studying.
  8. Summer before Nursing School

    If you're really hardcore, brush up on your A&P. But, really, there's not much you can do to prepare for a program- no matter how much knowledge you accumulate over the summer, they're going to bury you in work that you can't do until you actual...
  9. Self-grading? Uh, of course people without any integrity are going to take advantage of that. Maybe that's what the instructor wants. Don't be a squealer, though. Cheaters always hang themselves once they get enough rope. If you say anything abou...
  10. I took a class called Critical Thinking, and it was incredible. I kept the textbook and still read it quite frequently. We covered formal logic, truth tables, logical fallacies, deductive and inductive reasoning, and other topics. It was one of th...
  11. TROUBLES

    So, back in 1999, somebody came to this website, posted a short message in all caps, and was then never heard from again? Wow. Nice necro.
  12. What can make a nurse with an ASN stand out?

    The same things that make an RN-BSN stand out. Hard work, dedication, and excellent technical skills. Degrees don't make the nurse, the nurse makes the degree (and that includes advanced degrees).
  13. Is working during Nursing School a good idea?

    No, it is not, but some people have no choice. The people who can actually pull of a job, family, AND nursing school at the same time deserve a lot more respect than they usually get. I go to school with two women and a man in that situation, and I...
  14. This is an excellent point. Quoted for emphasis. Another is that, if the material presented in a SoN is claimed to stand on its own merits, grade deflation should not be necessary. In other words, if the faculty is seriously claiming that the mater...
