I once had a coworker ask the NM to assign me to another department (clinic) when her husband came to visit because he told her one night (after he had been drinking) that he thought I was attractive and had said MY NAME while they were having sex!

I've emailed the administrator of the program a few times re. reapplying but have not heard anything back yet. I think the instructor(s) are overwhelmed by the amount of students that are failing the course right now. From what I understand, the failure rate is usually not this substantial. I found out today that I will need to get a 90% on the final to pass the course. The highest grade I have gotten on a test in the class so far has been an 82. I sound like such an idiot but I promise, this is a first for me! I have never done this bad and a 90 sounds impossible at this point. I still am going to try my hardest, like I have been. I know my biggest downfall is the inability to process through the question to get the answer that she wants. Oh well, I will quit whining (and start praying)....Bible in one hand, textbook in the other! LOL!!!:bowingpur

Sorry, typo! Failure rate is 67%.

If I pass this semester (not looking good), I will only lack one more semester. If I don't pass (gulp! hard to say!), I would consider changing schools from the local community college to the university nearby. The university offers a LVN to BSN track, but I am unsure of details. Drawback is... my GPA will suffer from this semester and I may not be accepted into the university. I am doing bad in one class though and I don't want to lay blame at anyone, but maybe I am not "connecting" w/ the instructor. The failure rate for this semester in that class is 87% right now! I feel that I can do this but maybe I am supposed to take a different route than the one that I have started.

I just stumbled upon this thread and ya'll have made my spirits a little brighter. I am having an extrememly difficult time w/ Adv. Med-Surg in my ADN (bridge from LVN) program. Everyone is, even some students that were "A" students before. I am making an A in my ethics class that I am also taking. I have done everything possible to prepare for the tests and I still don't understand her question and she doesn't give much of a review. I study w/ my NCLEX review book also. My point is, almost everyone is doing bad in the class and many of us are failing. I don't feel too "stupid" because I am not alone, yet it gets my spirits down thinking that I may not ever be able to become an ADN and then BSN. But maybe God is closing this door and opening another, you know? Maybe I am destined to move on to the BSN program instead. It's agonizing, not knowing at this point, what the future holds for me. I am not very spontaneous, can you tell! LOL!!! :monkeydance:

A while back, I administered something called a "Muse" (if I recall correctly). This was a penile suppository. The pt. had neuropathy and kept developing infections in and around the member because he had difficulty with the foreskin (retracting and cleaning). This suppository allowed for an erection for the pt. to care for himself. A few minutes after administering, he pushed the call light. When I entered he said, you didn't give me my d### medicine. I told him that I did and he said "yeah, but you didn't finish". I said "yes, it has been inserted" and I left the room. He called again so I went back in and he said that I was supposed to JA### H## O##. I joked and said "no I don't think that was on the instructions!" He called again so... third time is a charm. He said that the medicine would not work unless he ejaculated, I stated "Well, 1.) it says nothing about that on the drug monograph, 2.)the MD placed no 'ejaculatory procedures' on the chart and 3.) you seem to be using the call light button just fine, so maybe you should finish administering the medication yourself!!!":monkeydance:
