2. Overwhelmed

   AllThingsPink replied to wanttobehappy's topic in General Students

   In a few years, it won't matter that you got a C on your exams. Seriously, not everyone tests well, it doesn't mean you don't know the material. Nursing tests are challenging and for a good reason ;-)...

   AllThingsPink replied to IrishItalianRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Totally the same thing in our unit too. I almost feel the L&D nurses think the PP nurses are slackers... and while there are definitely slackers (on both units), there's no need to assume the...

   AllThingsPink replied to mks1014's topic in Ob/Gyn

    AllThingsPink replied to iwanttobeanurse33's topic in General Students

    My suggestion to you right now is to look at the college you plan on attending for nursing and see what pre-reqs you must have... Anatomy and Physiology there's not much you can do to get those done...

    Honestly, I just want to pass. I do not care about A's anymore. I had a final today we won't know the grade until tomorrow and a final tomorrow that I need to do well on.
