1. Do you really remember half the stuff from nursing school?

   FRESH_90 replied to FRESH_90's topic in General Nursing

   Oh please do get off your high horse. I "cheated" when put on a 24 hour time period to memorize 20 pgs of unfamiliar material. I consider it a sign of devotion to learning at the least that I revisit the material after making the grade to learn it on...

   FRESH_90 replied to FRESH_90's topic in General Nursing

   Just to answer one of the above questions, its a distance learning on campus class with actual assignments completed online with the warning that you not use your notes as this is cheating (silly). I'm 20 and have been aimlessly attending college(s)...

   FRESH_90 replied to FRESH_90's topic in General Nursing

   You're right, I never want to put a patient's life in danger! Ever! Maybe my brain just isn't cut out to retain this kind of info. May I just say though... I want to learn the material, I'm not "cheating" (use the term loosely) because I'm lazy. Lo...

   I'm taking pre-reqs right now. My Nutrition class is the worst because there are so many side effects (toxicity/deficiency) of vitamins, minerals, or other nutrients and all these numbers about suggested intake and chemical reactions and ... *breathe...

5. So sad. How in the HECK do you do it?!

   FRESH_90 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm not going to lie, although I was inspired by selfless nurses and the prospect of doing something practical that truly helps people, the main reason I'm entering a nursing program is that it's safe. I'm an artistic person. I'd rather finish my lib...

   FRESH_90 replied to northmississippi's topic in Professionalism

   She was escorted by security and fired because... the patient ripped a tube out? Or because she took him off site? I'm sorry I'm not a nurse and I'm confused as to what exactly the reason for her being fired was.

7. Sometimes... do you hate your pts?

   FRESH_90 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Taking my pre-reqs right now. Maybe it's just a series of unfortunate encounters, or time spent being treated like a dog in the food industry, I don't know... but I often find I have little faith in humanity. People can behave as if they are so entit...

8. Bookish, low common sense... will I fit in?

   FRESH_90 replied to FRESH_90's topic in General Students

   I say "low common sense" because that is the label (actually, it's usually "no common sense") that friends and family give me. They say this in response to me making silly mistakes like absentmindedly putting my credit card in the cash slot and havin...

   FRESH_90 posted a topic in General Students

   I just enrolled in my pre-reqs. I am an intelligent person, very intelligent, if I do say so myself. I'm positive I can learn and apply any of the theory and science of nursing. But I'm not going to lie, I'm clumsy and I make lots of silly mistakes. ...

10. Help with nursing decision.

    FRESH_90 replied to FRESH_90's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder... will an accelerated 15 month BSN be regarded as less desirable than a regular BSN track? Thank you for answering by the way!
