    Thank you to everyone who took the time to respond. I'm happy to know that this is not the case everywhere. As I mentioned above, when I brought this up in post conference without naming the nurse,...

    Older Student, Unprofessional Nurse During Clinical

    Nurse Magnolia replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry. I am not trying to be defensive, at all...I think I expected everyone to come back with "OF COURSE That's not professional!" so the responses had me feeling a little dumb for even asking...

    Nurse Magnolia replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in General Students

    I am definitely seeing from the responses that this IS the norm and I have to say I'm disappointed. Apparently I was pretty naïve. However, it won't change a thing for how I will behave. I'm not...

    Nurse Magnolia replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in General Students

    Nurse Magnolia replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in General Students

    I don't think I had a "Knee Jerk reaction". What I experienced was not what I expected so I simply asked if this is the norm - because if it is, then I need to change my perspective. When I am on...

    Frustrated: cant find a nursing school with classes to accommodate full time day workers

    Nurse Magnolia replied to Ladyddm's topic in General Students

    No one has really mentioned yet that it will be very very difficult to work a full time M-F JOB AND succeed in nursing school. Nursing school is unlike any other degree you have. I have two bachelor's...

    Hi, I am in my first semester there now and really like the program a lot. Instructors are fair but firm and I feel like I am learning a lot. It's a 16 month program so they go very fast, but so far I...
