2. What's a good reason to quit nursing school?

   allymaye replied to none the wiser's topic in General Students

   allymaye replied to WandererRNBSN's topic in General Students

   I always come to school about 3hrs early to school to study. We have a little lunch/break room that I love to study in because nobody is in there at 6:30 in the morning. I do most of my hw there. At home I just can't get focused. I also go to a class...

4. Need some insight....I'm worried.

   allymaye replied to butrfli's topic in Online Learning

   Many people in my class have the same problem with testing. Don't create your own story for the question. They want to know A + B = C, Not A + B = C and then D, E, F. You will get your questions wrong if you do that. Also go with your first answer....

   I like the idea of these shoes but they are kinda expensive. Are there any other brands that might be cheaper? I don't want to spend $100 on the shoes and then hate them. :)

   allymaye replied to letitbe_lindsay's topic in General Students

   I had this guy that liked to do that to me. One day he interrupted me and I just stopped talking and stared at him blankly. "Well?!?" he yells at me. I was like,"Oh!!! Were your finished talking? I just didn't want to interrupt, because that would be...

   allymaye replied to Blessed S.N.23's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Be very organized. For clinicals make your own assessment sheet so you can record everything you need. Some ppl call them brain sheets. There are a bunch on the net you can look at to get some ideas.

12. Clinical Hairstyles?

    allymaye replied to mlb1211's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    allymaye replied to kgheen09's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    At my school we had a choice of clinical locations, but we had a lottery system because each hospital could only take 10 students. We also use the train and bus as well as carpool to get to clinicals. :monkeydance:
