  1. Only an ADN

    latebloomer74 replied to latebloomer74's topic in General Students

    I didn't mean to offend the ADN nurses. Perhaps I worded the thread badly. Actually my goal is to get my ADN :) I just wanted to be sure what I heard was not true. Sorry if anyone took offense, I...

  2. Betrayed by my Program

    latebloomer74 replied to This's topic in General Students

    OP, I totally sympathize, I know how you feel. Many of my classmates felt cheated out of a real nursing education. I know where you're coming from. As for some of the other posters, they need not be...

  3. Do you correct your professor?

    latebloomer74 replied to RN9742's topic in General Students

    It depends on the subject matter. If it is say a nursing skill and you saw nurse x do it differently then your instructor, it often doesn't mean it's wrong, there's just many different ways to do...

  4. Any of you make excellent grades but suck at skills?

    latebloomer74 replied to aem31's topic in General Students

    This gives me hope, thank you. I feel like the world's biggest dumb*** when it comes to skills but the lecture and lab written exams were so easy for me. It doesn't help when you do something for the...

  5. Is there tutoring in nursing school

    latebloomer74 replied to Darkpk55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the above posters. Utilize the office of disabilties and depending on your school they may have a academic and skills tutor. I utilized all 3 and actually found the tutors to be more...

  6. nursin school/vent

    latebloomer74 replied to deetrain's topic in General Students

    You saw it once you should know how to do it PERFECTLY!!! Sounds like my school

  7. Bullying by Professors in Nursing School

    latebloomer74 replied to Gracefulmic's topic in General Students

    There is a culture of fear in nursing school. It's not condusive to learning. It's a real

  8. instructor is out to get me

    latebloomer74 replied to utadahikaru's topic in General Students

    You've got a target on your back now. Be very careful what you say and do from now on. Good

  9. clinical prof, too strict

    latebloomer74 replied to deetrain's topic in General Students

    Well I guess my CI wasn't that strict. One of the guys came in with no name badge and she just wrote his name, college, and student nurse on a piece of tape and slapped on him. She was strict in other...

  10. An error already

    latebloomer74 replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    Leaving the dirty(not soiled) linen on the floor while I changed the bed. That's a no

  11. clinical/grading system

    latebloomer74 replied to deetrain's topic in General Students

    I just asked cause some programs you can take over any failed course but usually only once. Differs from program to

  12. Crossed the line... or expected behavior?

    latebloomer74 replied to traceyw's topic in General Students

    Another one of those things you are just supposed to magically know:rolleyes: Lesson learned I suppose. I think it's unfair of them to try to kick you out of the program over that:( Hope everything...

  13. clinical/grading system

    latebloomer74 replied to deetrain's topic in General Students

    Do you mean 3 mistakes and you fail clinical or 3 mistakes you fail clinical and are out of the program? The latter was how my program was, kinda

  14. Justice was served...finally

    latebloomer74 replied to jennabean55's topic in General Students

    You're kidding, right? Most likely this student is narcisstic and arrogant. And for some reason the instructors let her get away with being late all the time. I've seen it before, for some unknown...

  15. What is your policy on discussing grades with classmates?

    latebloomer74 replied to aem31's topic in General Students

    Usually if it's above passing I'll tell them the number, if it's below passing I say I did terrible or say I don't want to talk about

  16. Final Semester Nursing School Failure...What do I do now?

    latebloomer74 replied to JensAlmostAnRN's topic in General Students

    Wow you're really between a rock and a hard place): So your nursing courses won't transfer and you can't repeat the semester. I don't really have any advice for you, I think you will probably have to...

  17. what class kicked your backside?

    latebloomer74 replied to glitterygirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Organic Chemistry and Physics. Strangely enough, since lecture and lab were graded seperately I always seemed to do pretty good in lab but just barely scraping by in lecture. That never made any sense...

  18. No one to go to

    latebloomer74 replied to Frazzled_One's topic in General Students

    I'm assuming this is your 1st semester? Perhaps when you start clinicals or get farther along in the program you will start to make some friends you could get together for a study group or partner....

  19. Abusive and Cruel Clinical Instructors: Why??

    latebloomer74 replied to sallber's topic in General Students

    Yes my classmate did stay in the program and has since graduated. I think the reason she did not report the instructor was out of fear that somehow they would prevent her from graduating and she was...

  20. Abusive and Cruel Clinical Instructors: Why??

    latebloomer74 replied to sallber's topic in General Students

    Because they can, and 9 times out of 10 get away with it. I still shudder to think of my classmate who got slapped in the face by her clinical instructor. The student was having trouble getting the...

  21. Do you cry a lot in nursing school?

    latebloomer74 replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Students

    I think I cried once at clinical because my instructor pretty much called me stupid ( this was at postconference). And once in the car after my instructor said something, I don't even remember what it...

  22. Can a shy student become an effective nurse?

    latebloomer74 replied to sunshine5889's topic in General Students

    I think a shy student can definitely be an effective nurse. Shy people listen more and observe more, this is good for assessments. Most people want someone to listen to them, really listen to them and...

  23. For the Student or for the Teacher

    latebloomer74 replied to SchoolNurseLaura's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Perhaps this child needs a one to one, so these kind of things don't

  24. BSN Required?

    latebloomer74 posted a topic in Pediatric

    Is a BSN required to work in a children's

  25. Do you ever get the feeling your professors are trying to weed you out?

    latebloomer74 replied to mell260's topic in General Students

    OMG, That's terrible that she actually seemed to take pleasure in failing you. That's a mark of a very not nice person if they take pleasure in seeing someone fail. A friend of mine ended up failing...
