  1. We have ALWAYS given something to the staff and our instructor. I think it's more unprofessional NOT to give something. We usually bring in food for the staff. And we also give a card to our instructor. After all, we give her enough trouble being stu...
  2. I agree, we use it and it truly does break everything down nicely. I had bought another book that is way more confusing.
  3. Going to be denied f/a because of maximum credit rule..

    My school has an appeals process. You have to fill out a form, type up a letter and then tell them why you have not progressed and what you plan to do to progress. I hope it works out, they should have something to let you know if that is available.
  4. Down and Out

    Thank You. I am trying to keep my chin up, I am sure I will get through it. Just sucks right now!
  5. How does it feel to fail a nursing course?

    Well, I thought I was the only one. I actually failed one course in my first year and now I just failed my second course in my second year. At least you get to take it in Jan. I have to wait a whole year to get back in. I wasn't even failing the cour...
  6. Down and Out

    So, in a nutshell, my life sucks right now. I have personal issues going on that I won't even BEGIN to get into. But, right now I am down and out because I missed my last class by only 4 measly little points. Our school requires 80%passing and I rece...
  7. Confused about recapping in the medroom

    I was taught to always scoop, to never pick up a clean needle and recap that way. And also, never recap a DIRTY needle.
  8. Baby during NS = bad idea?

    We tried for 4 years for my first son, I have PCOS, so we knew it was going to be difficult. Then I started my first year in nursing school only to find out 6 months into the program that I was pregnant. Talk about a surprise! I just hope you have a...
  9. For the most part, people are like "That is great! We sure do need more of you!"
  10. WOW!!! I just saw how much first semester books cost!!!

    Don't waste money on study guides or the dictionary. Your main textbook should have a website/dvd that are great resources! They have NCLEX review style questions and videos and such that make it unnecessary to buy study guides. Don't buy flashcards,...
  11. Have I really learned what I need to.....

    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I felt worse after I failed my last class of first year for those damn fluids and electrolytes! Then I had to wait a whole year to get back in and things did fall into place, but I still feel like I haven't learned a th...
  12. First injection

    The first time I gave a shot was for the pnuemococcal vaccine for an elderly gentleman. I was so nervous my face was bright red. I could feel the redness in my cheeks. I was holding it a few inches from his arm and was hesitating so my instructor gra...
  13. I don't even read the book that we were assigned. It is too confusing and doesn't help at all. It is a horrible book!! I am fortunate to have teachers that give out power point presentations that pretty much skim from the book anyways. But, I agree w...
