    Nursing Student annoyed me

    Multicollinearity replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    She must be first semester (at least) since she couldn't touch the IV. I imagine reality will hit her in the face after enough clinicals, and she will . But yes, that sure must have been...

    My RN venture ended today.

    Multicollinearity replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    Hopefull, You know, after the week I had at my school, I can understand a little better better why you did this. When the stress is so bad, and so unrelenting, you start to feel numb. And then you...

    My RN venture ended today.

    Multicollinearity replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    These pre-reqs don't sound so bad or unusual to me. I took Statistics, Quantitative Reasoning, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, plus 10 additional pre-req classes. And general...

    My RN venture ended today.

    Multicollinearity replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    I'm concerned you've made a hasty decision. I wonder if you can get re-enrolled in your nursing classes tomorrow morning. I'm trying to think of how you could explain it to the registrar, without...

    Multicollinearity replied to TootyFruity703's topic in General Students

    I wasn't equating jobs to IQ. However, someone with an IQ of 100 could not earn a PhD. I was discussing potential and reaction range. We have veered way off topic, though. Well, I'm out. Gotta...

    I hear you Stanley. But a range of twenty-five points significant. That range is so large -- someone born with every advantage could earn a PhD in some fields (IQ 125), or if disadvantaged, that...

    Multicollinearity replied to TootyFruity703's topic in General Students

    this makes me think of reaction range, a well-researched concept regarding iq: so factors such as cultural capital would affect one's reaction range. the brain's neuro-cognitive function,...

    Multicollinearity replied to Dream2BANurse's topic in General Students

    Last semester, in my skills class, we paired up with classmates to do these skills with the instructor grading. Each and every one of us had tachycardia. One classmate went to bathroom and vomited,...

    Multicollinearity replied to TootyFruity703's topic in General Students

    I can imagine the flip-side of this sort of scenario just as easily. Imagine one of your nurse friends gets into law school. She comes back to the unit and rants, "They are snobs, and they argue and...

    Multicollinearity replied to TootyFruity703's topic in General Students

    The OP dared to talk about a class conflict he or she is feeling. That doesn't make him/her a terrible person. It makes this a thread about social class and adjustment. Social class is real. It is...

    Multicollinearity replied to TootyFruity703's topic in General Students

    I'm sure law school did change you. I would think it would. Nursing school will change you as well, in a different way. I don't think anyone is saying to dumb yourself down. Rather, it would be...

    Discouraged with my program

    Multicollinearity replied to JillFRN's topic in General Students

    In some states, RNs working in public health can and do perform routine gyn exams, including the speculum part of the exam. It varies, depending on the states' nurse practice

    What do you do on breaks from school?

    Multicollinearity replied to MaleRNin2010's topic in General Students

    Usually, I take extra classes during breaks. This x-mas break, I plan on sleeping, drinking a few margaritas, and forgetting that I'm a nursing student AT

    Multicollinearity replied to TootyFruity703's topic in General Students

    I think the OP just sounds like a 'fish out of water' right now. It's an adjustment. Maybe think of this a different way. Engage in some empathy and expand your ability to understand those different...

    Poorly Written Exams-Is there any recourse?

    Multicollinearity replied to jpeters84's topic in General Students

    Welcome to nursing school. It seems the first exam is always rocky and upsetting. It seems almost everyone says that it didn't make sense, after that first exam. We all had this disorienting...

    How did you financially make it through Nursing School? (Looking for some advice)

    Multicollinearity replied to JessLP's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I canceled my cell phone. I canceled my cable TV. I don't buy things like paper toweling. I shop in bulk at Costco. It all adds up. I'm going to graduate with about 40k in student loan debt. But...

    Ugh!!! "60% of base pay..."

    Multicollinearity replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. For the past ten years, I've worked jobs that offered zero benefits. Fewer employers are offering benefits, including short-term disability. I'd try to be grateful that the benefit is...
