1. Students cheating on tests....

   ajeanpants replied to dreamer2011's topic in General Students

   Report it... anonymously if you have to. no one will know that it was you so you don't have to have the weight of that on your shoulders. It's simply ridiculous that they have to cheat on every single exam like this, and they may continue to do so ...

2. Compassion required???

   ajeanpants replied to jellyfishmafia's topic in General Nursing

   I had a patient this year who unexpectedly had a bowel perf, sepsis, and almost died (many other complications that I won't go into). He had a healthy lifestyle, a beautiful family, and he was young. Recovery took a very long time and I'm sure it w...

3. Stupid things said by your non-nurse significant other

   ajeanpants replied to Moogie's topic in Humor

   As a nursing student, my boyfriend gets to hear me moan and groan about the work I have to do, how stressed I am, etc pretty frequently. The other day he told me "You know our friend who studies (some scientific research topic) at University of Mich...

4. What was your first year of nursing school like?

   ajeanpants replied to linzjane88's topic in General Students

   The only way I can describe nursing school is as a roller coaster. This past year has taken everything out of me-- physically, emotionally, PSYCHOLOGICALLY (lol). But it is so worth it. You will look back at the end of each semester and see how fa...

5. Friends cheating.. what to do?

   ajeanpants replied to ajeanpants's topic in General Students

   I sincerely appreciate everyone's input and I hope that it can help others if they are in a similar situation. I believe that I did the right thing. If my friend would not have come forward, I probably would have still spoke with the professor abou...

6. Foley Catheters

   ajeanpants replied to EssaQ502's topic in General Students

   Amen! my first foley was on a pretty hefty lady, one of my fellow nursing students had to hold the light for me and my prof had to hold her in just the right position. It was an interesting experience Foley's can be uncomfortable for the patient, b...

7. Friends cheating.. what to do?

   ajeanpants replied to ajeanpants's topic in General Students

   I have been tossin and turning and praying about this and have been trying to see what is the best thing to do as a follower of Christ, as a future nurse, and as a friend. I talked to the person with the test info, told them the seriousness of the s...

8. Friends cheating.. what to do?

   ajeanpants replied to ajeanpants's topic in General Students

   Thanks for all the advice guys... lots to think about for sure and it helps to have outside perspective! I wish they would have never put me in this position, because it sucks. Choose your NS buddies wisely Another lesson learned

9. Friends cheating.. what to do?

   ajeanpants posted a topic in General Students

   I have quite the dilemma here. We have a med-surg final coming up in a few weeks, and many of the questions will be from previous exams. I don't know about your schools, but my nursing school does alot to ensure that no one has written record of te...

10. Passed my pharm HESI by one point!

    ajeanpants replied to ajeanpants's topic in General Students

    I have to keep good grades to keep scholarships, so I'm thankful for my B :) I'm not sure... the only HESI I took at the beginning was a critical thinking test. That was very easy and didn't really count for anything, but I'm not sure if its the sa...

11. Passed my pharm HESI by one point!

    ajeanpants posted a topic in General Students

    I didn't pass my pharm HESI the first time around, so I had to remediate and retest before I could begin the next semester. This exam was going to make the difference between a B and C in the class, but I just couldn't bring myself to study much ove...

12. Opinions on 2 majors & a minor vs. BSN

    ajeanpants replied to ajeanpants's topic in ADN/BSN

    Thank you so much for your replies! You have no idea how helpful it is! CuriousMe, I have not yet narrowed down exactly where I want to work. I am very interested in research and am also thinking about teaching as a long-term goal. I know that I ...

13. Opinions on 2 majors & a minor vs. BSN

    Hola! I am mulling some things over my head and would love to hear your opinions! I am currently enrolled at a private university which has an affiliation agreement with a local nursing school where if I take classes here in addition to all of the n...

14. Do you actually READ your nursing books or just skim?

    ajeanpants replied to starmickey03's topic in General Students

    For many textbooks, the first sentence or two of a paragraph and the last one or two sentences will summarize the info in the paragraph. One strategy I used back when I was a biochem major was to read those sentences and then skim the stuff in betwe...

15. Apply for those scholarships people!

    ajeanpants replied to Schweet's topic in General Students

    I've always felt that I am sort of a nuisance to professors and employers when I ask for those recommendation letters for all these different scholarships. Has anyone else felt that way? And I second mariposabella's question.. did you use fastweb?
