2. Given the boot 2 weeks before graduation

   sealford replied to sealford's topic in General Students

   I just wanted to post an update on this. After a long, uphill battle, I was able to appeal their decision and it ended up being an easy win (took less than 5 minutes). I was even told by the staff at school that they did me wrong, and the instructo...

3. Given the boot 2 weeks before graduation

   sealford replied to sealford's topic in General Students

   I already tried to appeal it. There was no academic or clinical dishonesty involved. There have been a few other students I know who had a similar situation happen in the program, and they ended up switching careers.

4. Given the boot 2 weeks before graduation

   sealford posted a topic in General Students

   Long story short, last November I was brought into my advisor's office and was told that I could not complete nursing school. Naturally, I was livid, since I only had 2 weeks of clinicals left. I was told that I could return, but when I tried to do...

   I'm a huge fan of the Livescribe pen. I bought it during my undergrad days and fell in love. It records the lectures and you can go back and listen to it as well as converting your written notes to PDF files. I have the one that came out a few yea...

7. Any luck with Michael Linares SimpleNursing

   sealford replied to mskelli30's topic in General Students

   Interesting that you ask...I was talking with someone yesterday who mentioned the website to me and she said that it is awesome and that her instructors highly recommend it. I usually just use YouTube, but the reviews for the site seem to be very go...

8. Most depressed I've ever been during nursing school

   sealford replied to stephen1219's topic in General Students

   I think that most of us, if not all, have days like this. Just remember, you went into this for a reason. I know sometimes it's hard to remember what that reason is when you get depressed, but I know the reason is still there. I'm sure that once y...

9. If you could do one thing to get ready for Nursing School

   sealford replied to Myoclonicjerk's topic in General Students

   Oh, this takes me back to last year! I was accepted into my school's program last January for the following fall semester. I really had no idea what to do to prepare, so I mostly went to amusement parks over the summer as well as worked. What I al...

10. First Day of Nursing School

    sealford replied to sealford's topic in General Students

    Oh, I remember that day! I am starting my second semester tomorrow, so I'm not that far ahead of you. It will be a day that you never forget. Just remember to figure out where your classes are early on, so you won't have to rush. Make sure you ge...

13. First Day of Nursing School

    sealford replied to sealford's topic in General Students

    How is everyone doing? Our semester is already halfway over, and I can hardly believe it. We've done about half of our assessments, and they've all been a blast. We have had two major tests, 2 medical terms quizzes, and a pop quiz. Overall, I fee...

14. How I Remember the 12 Cranial Nerves

    sealford posted a topic in Student Assist

    Now, we have all heard of the "On Old Olympus" bit as well as the X-rated methods for remembering the 12 cranial nerves, but the one that I use kinda sticks with me for some reason so I thought that I'd share it with you guys. Here goes: One of our ...

15. Where do YOU sit in class?

    sealford replied to Caribbean Character's topic in General Students

    I sit right in the front row. Then again, I always have. I use a Livescribe pen to record lectures, and it helps a lot by sitting in the front row. Also, the teachers can tell that you are interested (some people like to sleep in the back). Of co...
