1. New Grad/Hate My Job/Life is Miserable!

   Kittythestudentnurse replied to Ruby Vee's topic in New Nurse

   Thank you so much! I am about to graduate and at times I feel so incompetent and unable to understand how any nurse ever takes on the full pt load, managing competently and confidently, but because of you and other nurses I've spoken with who have fe...

   Kittythestudentnurse replied to CFG77's topic in CA Programs

   Hi, 3rd semester was tough, but I had some personal issues going on, so it may have been harder for me. We had sections a&b again, and even if you register in a, you may be switched to b, it all depends on the placements. The timetable is the sam...

5. Humber or George Brown Sept 2014

   Kittythestudentnurse replied to beauty49's topic in CA Programs

   Hi there! I'm in 3rd semester of the PN program at George Brown. It's tough, but I still love it. I know that at GBC, you need a minimum of 60% in each nursing course to pass, and at Humber, it's 50%. If you want to work asap, go the RPN route...keep...

6. Hello applied for Gerorge Brown practical nursing and need help!!

   Kittythestudentnurse replied to s.rhee's topic in CA Programs

   Are you taking the courses for credit, or just to study? If it's to study, I wouldn't even take a course (but that's just me). If I can suggest one topic to study and get ahead on, it would be anatomy. I'm in 3rd semester at George Brown, and I've n...

7. Sheridan College RPN program

   Kittythestudentnurse replied to Maxg1983's topic in CA Programs

   If you want to learn a lot of practical skills fast, and work in 2 years, go the RPN route. If you have 4 years to learn theory and skills, and you don't need to work asap, consider going the RN route. a lot of hospitals are switching to hiring RPNs ...

9. Afraid of failing out of school

   Kittythestudentnurse replied to ronron70's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I'm visual, so I like to draw the structures and write what they are beside it...this helped a lot with the anatomy part. For physiology, if it was circulation (for example), I would draw the heart and trace over the picture with my finger as I said ...

10. Fired from my first nursing job, before one year

    Kittythestudentnurse replied to mightynurse1's topic in General Nursing

    I am still a student and i get really excited when I have a great day at clinical...and I think I may come off as cocky. I wanted to say thank you to everyone, because you have helped to remind me the importance of remembering my place as a student a...

12. Dear Cheaters

    Kittythestudentnurse replied to RN9742's topic in General Students

    You actually get to use your own pencil??? We don't even get to do that!!! The only thing we can bring is our student id. We're not even allowed to wear hoodies to tests. Cheaters suck.

13. Being bullied at school (I thought we were all adults here!)

    Kittythestudentnurse replied to granolatrees's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I'm in disbelief that this actually goes on at the college level! My heart goes out to all of you who are being bullied in nursing school...it's hard enough without that added stress! Keep your eyes on the prize, these people aren't worth your tears!...

14. January 2014 intake Practical Nursing

    Kittythestudentnurse replied to alexis04's topic in CA Programs

    I stopped checking OCAS in late September last year because I pretty much gave up hope on GB, so I'm not sure if it said "waitlisted" on my account...I'm pretty sure they don't tell you what position you are in, just that you're waitlisted.
