   Thanks for all of the replies; I completely enjoyed reading them although the topic was taken "way" off course... Perseverance and tenacity is sometimes needed but also I believe that standing up and fighting for what is right is truly a testament to...

   Yes.. 2nd full week back and everything seems fine... Kinda upset that I have to make up 5 tests this week before spring break, but, whatever... Pretty sure I passed all of them but I was confused with the cardiac test w/ volume increase/decrease wit...

   I feel you pain fellow psych nursing student. I was almost dismissed from my nursing program for BS (in my view) reasons. They tried to play the "unsafe" practice thing with me but that quietly was retired b/c there is nothing in my file that would s...

   2ndwind you are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!! My final decision is to go back and honestly put this behind me. I will work hard to get through and finish. More details need to be ironed out but I feel we can come to an agreement to where they will allow thi...

   mlb69 replied to mlb69's topic in General Nursing

   My argument is right vs. wrong; these instructors had an "agenda" of their own (in my opinion) and I HONESTLY believe that if I do not make a STAND then this same practice will continue to many other fellow nursing students. Times have changed so why...

   Well I do not understand how I did not follow the "ABC's". If the circulation was compromised, which it was as a direct result of his blood pressure falling turning white as a ghost and sweating perfusly, my nursing diagnoses of fluid volume deficit ...

   I just wish that this had gone down a more politically correct way b/c frankly, I am scared. If they can just about throw a student out for a "bias" that is totally undocumented then they can just about do anything in my book...

   GREAT response Dudette... My perspective (honestly): I would really love to go show them what I am made of and to demonstrate that their "bias" of unsafe practice was very very unprofessional. I want them to eat their words and apologize following gr...

    What is the difference between finishing up with excelsior and finishing with the institution? Which would you all recommend? Is there any other "recommendations" or thoughts/suggestions anyone else might add?

    mlb69 replied to mlb69's topic in General Nursing

    Well the main point is why does there have to be games? We are ALL adults paying these instructors to teach us. I have learned a lot from my teachers, while I have learned a lot of nursing as a profession. If nursing is suppose to be this "compassion...

    I am torn b/c I want to finish but I "feel" that if I go back I am setting myself up. I have looked into finishing with Excelsior and they said I would only have 4-5 classes to take if the classes I have now transfer.. Do you think it would be bette...

    mlb69 replied to mlb69's topic in General Nursing

    Well getting back is GREAT news, however, is ALSO bad news.... The way our program works is that we have "checkoffs" again and a final in physical assessment. Unfortunately these 2 things are very subjective on some aspects and basically I am giving ...

    Just got off the phone with the department head and, well they do want me to come back as "protocols" were not followed. As far as "I'm a second semester student, and personally, those values made me raise my eyebrows. I miss alot of stuff too, and ...

    The twin had a less than 10% chance of survival; so this information is solid versus the "stable" H&H levels....
