  1. Failed part of skills checkoff

    Misteighbloo replied to AmandaBeaverhausen's topic in General Students

    Two of my nursing competencies I failed on the first go and passed them on the redo. It honestly didn’t upset me, I just made sure to prepare more for the second time. Pretty much every student I...

  2. Harassment in Nursing School

    Misteighbloo replied to JJWiley's topic in General Students

    I’m sincerely sorry you are dealing with this. This is the most childish and ridiculous behavior I can imagine. To address your discouragement (understandable), there absolutely are kind people and...

  3. Second Thoughts on Becoming a Nurse

    Misteighbloo replied to ThePrudentStudent's topic in General Nursing

    Misteighbloo replied to Guest 1064378's topic in General Nursing

    Misteighbloo replied to Anotherdegree4me's topic in General Nursing

    Misteighbloo replied to Melmunster's topic in General Students

  11. Do I have to disclose mental illness

    Misteighbloo replied to NurseChaiPls's topic in General Nursing

    Misteighbloo replied to dfalc's topic in School, College Programs

  17. Pregnancy/Newborn during nursing school

    Misteighbloo replied to lanna23's topic in General Students

  19. Nursing school and parenting

    Misteighbloo replied to KThurmond's topic in General Students

    I understand how you feel but the plus side of this being the first birthday where he really understands is that he has no frame of reference (nothing to compare it to). My children are 4 and 8 and...

    Misteighbloo replied to Rachaelfc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
