   Hello! So, I need your help! I have my previous degree in psychology and we had to write plenty of papers using peer reviewed articles. Back then, although it wasn't my favorite thing to do, I could usually find articles that I needed with out too mu...

2. Am I Failing?

   missk88 replied to truckinusa's topic in General Students

   You CAN pass and you WILL pass if you are proactive! Talk to your professor, see where you need help when it comes to studying. Also, when I was in fundamentals I had a tough time adjusting to the NCLEX style questions on exams. Get a book of practic...

   missk88 replied to missk88's topic in General Students

   Thanks guys!!! I ended up leaving a nice simple thank you card in her mailbox. I'm pretty sure she received it well, a few days she saw me on campus and was really friendly and nice at least! I decided to just give it to her now, because knowing me, ...

5. Help with pharmacology: cardiac

   missk88 posted a topic in Student Assist

   So, I've been doing surprisingly well in pharm up until the cardiac exam. For some reason it seems that the info seems to mesh together and I have a hard time differentiating defining factors between the different types of meds, etc. our final exam i...

6. Never live with a fellow student!

   missk88 replied to missk88's topic in General Students

   Hey, it's been a while since I've checked this! Thank you all for the advice!!! I ended up having a talk with her, I tried to be assertive and not too rude. She seemed to be getting offended at first and therefore getting defensive and shutting down,...

7. Help... Should I stay in this program?

   missk88 replied to meatballgirl's topic in General Students

   Meatballgirl, This late in the game, I would not advise you to switch, not over one class. It is a shame that your teacher has failed to teach properly. If she's on the way out and is teaching this way, in my opinion, she should just leave early! It'...

   No, not wrong at all! In fact, that was very thoughtful of you. I think you handled the situation well and gave a very appropriate response.

9. I need more nurse friends :(

   missk88 replied to sckooshy1's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hello! I know exactly how you feel!! I'm not sure if your school offers it, but I know that the nursing department at my school has nursing program guidance counselors. My academic advisor is also really great to talk to, very understanding, and down...

10. Thank you note--too much?

    missk88 posted a topic in General Students

    Hi everybody! I just want your opinion on something. I'm on the east coast and as I'm sure you all know, we were hit by hurricane sandy. I went home to help out my parents during the storm (my dad has some personal problems and he gets really anxious...

11. Was I at fault? the nurse embarrassed me in front of others.

    missk88 replied to crunchytaco's topic in Relations

    Just as others are saying; she is being a jerk. Try not to let her get to you, because if you let her, she will continue to do so. Kill her with kindness and don't let it show that she bothers you. As long as you know the truth that is all that matte...

    missk88 replied to missk88's topic in General Students

    It went well, I got an 89!!! I think that's amazing considering how tough I thought it was! I am taking Patho at the same time. It's odd, I didn't think the first patho exam would be too bad but I didn't do as well. I'm staying positive about it thou...

    Okay, I just need to get this off my chest so that HOPEFULLY I can sleep tonight before I have to take my first med/surg exam. I mean, lordy lordy. So much information. It makes my brain ache. I've attended class, gone through the slides (did extra r...

    These people that are on their high horses trying to shame you make me LAUGH. If they ever even CRACKED open a history book they'd realize marijuana was made illegal not because it was harmful, but because hemp was putting the big cotton industry out...
