1. My anxiety seems to interfere with everything in NS

   elle27 replied to ERsn's topic in General Students

   Hey--there is medication for anxiety. I am a 4.0 straight A student. I got a 'C' on my first nursing exam at the start of our 2nd semester. I actually got physically ill. I had to leave class later that day. I drove to my doc's office & sat ...

2. Crossed the line... or expected behavior?

   elle27 replied to traceyw's topic in General Students

   I think it's just differing perspective. Although being a student nurse you must understand that you are an idiot and can't possibly know anything and you are always wrong. I'm sorry. It sucks. I had my confidence betrayed by an instructor and hav...

3. Furious prof can't find my midter

   elle27 replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in Pre-Nursing

   That is ridiculous. I know professors get stories about things being turned in that actually were not. That does not mean they have the right to be jaded and assume everyone who states they turned something in that was not received is lying. I wo...

4. Instructor won't keep hands to self

   elle27 replied to elle27's topic in General Students

   Hello everyone reading! It turns out I am not the only one to have this dispute. I am the only one 'brave' enough to take it to a hearing. Turns out the college (not the school of nursing) has been waiting for anyone to come forward and go on the r...

5. Instructor won't keep hands to self

   elle27 replied to elle27's topic in General Students

   Oh wow--okay--thank you all. I am very chill about this. My previous life was as a hairstylist. My clients are actually the ones behind me taking the plunge to go to nursing school. I have played devil's advocate in my head with this. I have rea...

6. Instructor won't keep hands to self

   elle27 replied to elle27's topic in General Students

   I am sorry. I did say something very polite to her about touch. I said, "please, I'd rather not be touched or hugged. I don't feel comfortable." That got me a mini-lecture on therapeutic touch. I was written up for doing something I didn't know I...

7. Thinking about giving up...Depressed :(

   elle27 replied to nrice28's topic in General Students

   :yeah:YOU CAN DO IT! Have you checked the online options? Excelsior is online--I don't think they 'reject' anyone, either. Don't quit. Just don't even let that be an option. You have lots of good advice posted here already--so I'm just here to ...

8. Instructor won't keep hands to self

   elle27 replied to elle27's topic in General Students

   She is a touchy-feely person. She will pat people on the bottom--or on the head--like we are small children. She did work peds for a long time--before she retired and began teaching. I think that is where the behavior comes from. She comes across...

9. Help with Erikson's Theory

   elle27 replied to little2one's topic in Student Assist

   I had a hard time with that, too. I think because it's complex and long. I wrote out a stage and used photos of people I knew to identify that stage with their age group. I pretty much used read/write/recite while looking at their picture. So--wh...

10. Instructor won't keep hands to self

    elle27 posted a topic in General Students

    I am a first term LPN student. My trouble is one older Professor (she's a retired R.N.) who has to pet, squeeze, touch, pat, rub and huddle during any conversation. I'm afraid of retaliation (she's already written me up over an honest mistake) and ...
