1. I didn't make it in =(

   Serendipity33 replied to Hey There Elizah's topic in General Students

   I'm sorry things didn't work out the way you wanted. It always sucks when your plans get changed on you. I don't know how your school or pre-reqs or anything work.... but would your schedule allow you to do something you like to do but maybe otherwi...

2. med surg clinicals

   Serendipity33 replied to NursingIs4CoolPeople's topic in General Students

   Don't let her kick you out!! Prove her wrong and show her that you deserve to stay in your program. Don't give up. :heartbeat And about the following a nurse..... I have no idea why instructors would not support this! It really bothers me!! I feel li...

3. What's wrong with me?!

   Serendipity33 replied to angelchick's topic in General Students

   I'm glad you're feeling better since your original post. :heartbeat Just wanted to let you know that I'm a year behind too. I totally understand everything you were worried about - all your friends moving on while you didn't, having to make new frien...

4. Anyone else off-track?

   Serendipity33 replied to Serendipity33's topic in General Students

   Thank you... I'm sure you all are right. I need to stop obsessing over this. It was just so frustrating when it happened, and to think that I spent so much time and effort trying to stay in the program, when now I'm not even sure that nursing is real...

   Serendipity33 replied to jgg765's topic in General Students

   This site has really helped me... http://www.learnursing.tv/index.html It has a LOT of videos on all kinds of topics, and they really break it down so it's easy to understand and easy to remember. This one in particular might help you understand what...

6. Finished 1st Semester

   Serendipity33 replied to aminaasad's topic in General Students

   Congrats!! Getting a B- in nursing school is awesome, in my opinion. Especially for your first semester, when you're just starting to learn how to answer their tricky way of asking questions. Put those med/surg books down and celebrate!!

7. Anyone else off-track?

   Serendipity33 posted a topic in General Students

   Hello everyone! I just joined yesterday... looking forward to meeting you all. :) I'm going into my last year of my BSN program. I just wanted to see how many other people are off-track in their programs, for whatever reason. My reason is that I brok...

8. Clinical supervision by instructors

   Serendipity33 replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

   I've only had one instructor that hovered over my shoulder, watched me do everything (even things not directly related to nursing skills), and made me SO nervous that everything I did was with shaking hands. (I also have to mention, this instructor g...

9. Sadistic CI? I need an opinion.

   Serendipity33 replied to AliveToday's topic in General Students

   I'm sure she was just trying to be funny, and maybe try to be "friends" with her students rather than just a strict instructor, which is nice. But I can definitely see why you questioned it. Many of those I found funny, but I also found many of those...

11. Quit nursing school?

    Serendipity33 replied to wellhereiam's topic in General Students

    wow... I can't even begin to put into words how IDENTICAL we are. In every one of your posts I felt like I was reading my own story. I too am wondering why in the world I chose nursing school - I come home from clinicals and cry, I dread even going t...

12. Beating yourself up after an exam.

    Serendipity33 replied to spuropathy's topic in General Students

    Oh, I feel you on this one - I always give myself the "I could have studied harder! I could have gotten that one right! I could have gotten an A! etc etc" routine. I'm sorry this happened! But at least you know what you did wrong - you KNOW that you ...

13. Should I????

    Serendipity33 replied to AGLAWSON's topic in General Students

    I feel like it's more personal preference, regarding how you like to take notes - whether typing on your laptop or handwriting on the instructor's print-out notes. I really only bring my laptop to class when there's going to be a test review and I kn...

    Serendipity33 replied to tachybradyRN's topic in General Students

    My first post on the boards! Hello everyone! May 2009 grad RIGHT HERE!! And it can't come fast enough... I actually started what was supposed to be a 2-year program in the fall of '06 (which, if I had stayed on track, would have given me a May '08 g...
