  2. need advice in relation to clinical instructor

    matilda123 replied to carlarenee02's topic in General Students

    You have to talk to the instructor first. It is wrong to go over her head without talking to her first. Wouldn't you want someone to come to you first with any issues they had with you? I would keep...

    matilda123 replied to Chloexo's topic in General Students

  8. Constantly Getting Thrown Under The Bus by Fellow Nurse

    matilda123 replied to shining_star28463's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree, you have allowed this woman to take advantage of you. Not speaking up in the beginning has her thinking that she can do whatever she wants. I would not assume that it is known and...

    matilda123 replied to 1stloveistobeanurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. Too much 1st semester?

    matilda123 replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in General Students

    Nursing classes are so much more involved than pre reqs or other classes. Nursing classes are very different from other classes. The reading alone will take all of your time. Our program recommends 3...

  20. Crossroads at age fifty.

    matilda123 replied to minokismom's topic in General Students

    Why are you talking yourself out of nursing? (now it looks like I may have to switch gears and pick another career as my grades are not all As) You don't know that you will not get accepted. Dig in...

  23. Scared of becoming a nurse

    matilda123 replied to girlgirl4's topic in General Students

    I think you need to stop listening to all the negatives. If you want to be a nurse, then do it! Every profession has its good and bad parts. Why are you allowing everyone else to determine your path?...

    matilda123 replied to betc's topic in General Nursing
