   FYI guys, I ended up with a B in the class. I know this is an off-topic question ... but this was my second time taking the class. I definitely have plans to go to grad school. I always assumed that they want to see A's if you retake a class. Is ...

   bonjournurse2b replied to bonjournurse2b's topic in General Students

   Come to think of it, each question is worth 2 points. What my professor does is take the # of items on the exam and multiply it by 2. Partial credit isn't given, either. So you can't even miss one question! Say what?!

6. Getting in the profession for the wrong reasons? (long, sorry)

   bonjournurse2b posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi guys, I'm mainly posting this because my rather unsupportive family has been giving me a lot of doubt about my decision into getting into nursing. I reflected back on my thoughts, and I'm really, really scared that there's a chance that they're r...

   bonjournurse2b posted a topic in General Students

   Hey guys, I'm in my second semester of nursing school. I just started my first server job 3 days ago at a busy restaurant. During those 3 days, I felt like a complete dumbass. It just seems that I'm not doing things on time, like ringing in orders...

8. Scared of dealing with violent patients

   bonjournurse2b posted a topic in Professionalism

   Hello everyone, I've entered nursing school with a passion for caring for others after taking care of my dad who passed away from cancer. I've done a lot of the "dirty" work involved in nursing. I can deal with vomit, urine, fecal matter, trachs, e...

9. Finished my first semester of nursing school, but failed pharmacology :( Help?

   bonjournurse2b posted a topic in General Students

   I failed pharmacology (by 0.45% ... ), and my advisor won't let me enroll in any clinical courses because of it. Pharm is not listed as a prereq for the next clinical courses (as listed on the school website, course catalog, and orientation paper...

    bonjournurse2b replied to bonjournurse2b's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the advice, both of you! I'm really glad that I found this forum. :) I will not give up on this and I know I will go far in this profession. It is burdensome to have a family that is unsupportive, though. I *know* they care for me and w...

    Hi glenlorie, I have similar plans as you do as far as applying for the NP program at OU. If you don't mind, please keep me updated about your application status(es)! I wish you the best of luck :)

13. Pre-Nursing student aspiring to be a FNP -- is this a good plan?

    bonjournurse2b posted a topic in NP Students

    Hi all, I will be starting my ABSN program this coming fall and I will be graduating in the fall of 2013. There is a university-based program close to me (that doesn't require clinical experience, although it is preferred) that begins every fall, so...
