1. I flunked out of clinical today..

   Ayala replied to Student2001's topic in General Students

   You have my deepest sympathies. I flunked out of clinical last week. I did very well in the lecture courses, but got nervous and fumbly while being observed. I'm so depressed I can't even begin to tell you. Plus I have troubles at home with a serious...

2. My worst fear come true.

   Ayala replied to decembergrad2011's topic in General Students

   Bravo! Well done! There is a special place in everyone's heart for people who bounce back from adversity. Thank you for sharing this wonderful story. There are so many of us who doubt and struggle. It's a noble and generous thing when someone comes b...

3. Last semester but.. I Hate Nursing!

   Ayala replied to mitral's topic in General Students

   Don't mess with Arkansans! One of my best (and toughest) nursing teachers is an Arkansan and a ardent Razorback fan.

4. Last semester but.. I Hate Nursing!

   Ayala replied to mitral's topic in General Students

   ImThatGuy - I don't know you, but I love you. Are you a Razorback? My mom (85 years old and still working) is a school nurse. Some of the stories she tells me are amazing. It's a very tough job, especially with the population she deals with. I hope ...

5. BEWARE: Pace University

   Ayala replied to ZionsWrath's topic in New York

   From what I've seen, there have been many changes in the CDP program since the original poster started this thread. The CDP program is very demanding, but most of my classmates made it through and seemed to be OK with the experience. (This is the Ple...

7. Vibes, prayers, good juju needed!!!!!!

   Ayala replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

   I'm rooting for you, praying for you, sending positive energy to you. Sometimes you need to see a little karmic hand waving at you. You are not alone. Wish there was an emoticon for this. But you know what I mean! Best of luck.

8. My girlfriend is afraid that I might meet another girl in the nursing program...

   Ayala replied to ThePhilster's topic in General Students

   Crazed, I wish there was a "love" button, because your comment was the greatest.

9. Struggling new student, Advice?

   Ayala replied to Pete77's topic in General Students

   Pete - You are a strong person. If you are into "affirmations" think of some and say them every day. Tape them to your bathroom mirror, put them on the fridge door, etc. I chant to myself "I am happy, I am healthy, I handle stress well." (In the car ...

10. My girlfriend is afraid that I might meet another girl in the nursing program...

    Ayala replied to ThePhilster's topic in General Students

    I really empathize with both of you. I'm female and married. One of the things I failed to anticipate is how hard my being in nursing school would be on my relationship with my husband. Being a nursing student is so demanding that I forget that my hu...

11. Time for me to quit

    Ayala replied to Ayala's topic in General Students

    One more day - one day more. I would like to thank the people on this thread (and the people in this community) for helping me through a tough time. I am still in the game, mostly thanks to the support I find here. And I don't mean just the encouragi...

    Not.done.yet - Thank you for sharing your wisdom. And I love the Maya Angelou quote.

13. Anybody have experience with taking a Leave of Absence during nursing school?

    Ayala replied to heatherhammy's topic in General Students

    Oh, I relate to the bad experiences! I had a serious head injury and had to take a LOA. Fortunately I managed to outlast the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune and return to the program. My sister is a corporate attorney (and a darned good one)...

    Ayala replied to morningstarRN's topic in NCLEX

    YAY!!! Congrats! Well done! All the rest of you NCLEXers are in my prayers.

15. Test questions taken directly from random NCLEX book. Unfair?

    Ayala replied to Kboylan1's topic in General Students

    At my school, people vie for the biggest collections of NCLEX study books. Also, people find links to review sites and pass them around. As far as the teachers are concerned, it's all fair game. But my school has an NCLEX fixation (no disrespect to N...
