   wahwahgerman replied to Montessori Mommy's topic in General Students

   Could we get some consistency my dear instructors? Puhleeez? Seems like everything is subjective, even science.

2. Cumulative testing in nursing program

   wahwahgerman posted a topic in General Students

   Just curious about other programs......How many of you have cumulative testing within your nursing program? Does every test you take include questions from any previous tests you have taken throughout the semester? Thanks in advance!

   Depends on your program, you will find out more when you go to orientation. Our clinicals are 2 days a week.

4. clinicals while working part time job

   wahwahgerman replied to erica!'s topic in General Students

   I've been working 32 hours a week while in school and it has been just fine so far. There are a few days a week during clinicals when you will be unable to work due to clinical prep and such though. Your school will let you know which days to keep op...

5. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

   That's right dang-it, don't find humor in the ridiculousness, because someone will feel the need to step in and be the higher moral standard. There is humor in every situation; if you lose your humor life will become miserable.

   Yes, let me single-handedly end favoritism. Behold all my amazing powers to stop all wrong-doings in the world and specifically in nursing school.

   Thank you! Why people are so he!!-bent on making me sound like some greedy, selfish curmudgeon is beyond me. I am not that type of gal! It is my grade....and let's be real here, grades in college are every bit as valuable as money in the working worl...

   wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

   Thank you! I was not trying to mislead any readers; again, I did not want ESL students to be the primary focus. I look at my peers/fellow students as my equals and I don't even like to factor ESL into the equation. I also agree that the language barr...

   wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

   Um, not blown out of proportion my friend, I'm not lying about one single solitary part of my experience that I have shared. So, let me get this straight. A nurse should be tossed out into this world, ill-prepared, and other nurses should be on const...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    Okay? Because in the end the patient will suffer if this person becomes a nurse who has not learned adequate skills! Thank you for pointing out the obvious. Let's be clear. The CI is doing no favors for the student nurse or his future patients.

11. Are grades in your school shared?

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

    Ours are the same, we get our grade and also a graph broken down by percentage and how many students fell into each bracket, i.e. 80-85%, 85-90%, 90-95%, etc. It's really nice to see, it helps to see how tough the test collectively was compared to yo...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    I did not mention the second language portion of this issue because I didn't want that to become the main focus of the postings. We all had to take the same prereq courses and obtain a high grade in order to be accepted into the program. I'm sure it'...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    No, second language. We all get performance anxiety to some degree.

    nanacarol and jzkfel....I've never claimed to be a star pupil or the smartest in the class. I have lots to learn, I am a nursing student. Unfortunately, the two go hand and hand - my grade being docked and this particular nursing student's performanc...
