  1. Instructors/Programs that set you up for failure...

    latebloomer74 replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    It's sad state of affairs, huh. I hope the instructors aren't purposefully vague on purpose. but it just seems like more of the same passive aggressive I was subjected to in my program. Why get into...

  2. Possible ethical question about Clinical experience...

    latebloomer74 replied to Studying24.7's topic in General Students

    you are my hero, studying24.7!!! i too always get the feeling the veteran nurses look down on me as well, just because i am a student. their holier than thou attitude is pretty obnoxious if you ask...

  3. To all the moms out there: How did you do it?

    latebloomer74 replied to Karina1481's topic in General Nursing

    It is hard no doubt. My twins were 3 years old when I went through nursing school. They had a daycare on site at my community college but you got absolutely no discount at all for being a student ):...

  4. Isn't there such a thing as a learning curve?

    latebloomer74 replied to tasha1722's topic in General Nursing

    Here is something to remember that was drilled into my head in nursing school, " If it wasn't charted, it didn't happen." It's unfortunate that they were so harsh in firing you ): Maybe because the...

  5. Instructor violated my privacy...

    latebloomer74 replied to heartinhospice's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    That's awful. That is unfair. Would she have failed you if you had diabetes too? How ridiculous. There's this thing called the Americans with Disabilities act that is supposed to protect you if you...

  6. What did you do when you got rejected?

    latebloomer74 replied to computer101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If first you don't succeed try try again. It took me 3 times to finally be accepted to an LPN program. Don't take it personally, often there is only so many slots and so many qualified applicants,...

  7. mental illness but student nurse

    latebloomer74 replied to worriedSPN's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    It may just be clinical itself that is stressing you out. Clinical is very stressful for everyone, but for people like us who have panic disorder it is doubly hard. I agree with the other poster, just...

  8. I need a lot of help, failed out of nursing school

    latebloomer74 replied to MakeMeABird's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yeah, I think my school was looking only at money too, they would not let me take just that last semester over, they wanted me to take the entire 9 months over again, it's BS. How cruel, 3 weeks b4...

  9. I need a lot of help, failed out of nursing school

    latebloomer74 replied to MakeMeABird's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    i think it is caliotter3 who made the suggestion to practicing out loud and making up your own little test, not me. just giving credit where credit is due

  10. I need a lot of help, failed out of nursing school

    latebloomer74 replied to MakeMeABird's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I know exactly how you feel. I got kicked out of my LPN program 3 weeks b4 graduation because of 3 clinical warnings, which were really minor errors, they really should have worked with me, but I...

  11. sticky instructor situation

    latebloomer74 replied to weezergrl456's topic in General Nursing

    It's all too common. Was the same way in my program. It's BS and everyone knows it. Go to the dean after you graduate and if that doesn't work go to the state board. She'll never stop if you don't try...

  12. panic attacks

    latebloomer74 replied to essie1's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with everyone else, you should see your doctor ASAP. Also seeing a therapist who can teach you relaxation and breathing techniques could only help. I've suffered from panic attacks since I was...

  13. I bet they thought they hushed everything up.

    latebloomer74 replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    If the post was so silly and useless, why did you bother commenting on

  14. Deemed unsafe

    latebloomer74 replied to mimi225's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, your instructor was pretty harsh! I just don't understand how we are not allowed to make mistakes, that don't put the patient in serious jeopardy, without being overly punished for it. We learn...

  15. Favortism in Nursing School

    latebloomer74 posted a topic in General Students

    In my nursing school there was favortism to an alarming degree. 2 girls in particular had the red carpet rolled out for them, and screwed the rest of us. They got to do all the skills in clinical, got...

  16. Favortism in Nursing School

    latebloomer74 replied to latebloomer74's topic in General Students

    The girl who got slapped by her clinical instructor didn't want to jeopardize her graduating so she didn't report it. I think once she gets her license which should be soon she will report it....

  17. Need Help.....editing my personal statement

    latebloomer74 replied to swtgurl's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This passion I have for nursing is a direct consequence of an even that occurred last year in my life when my cousin was diagnosed with cancer. Should be event not even, sorry maybe I was a...

  18. Favortism in Nursing School

    latebloomer74 replied to latebloomer74's topic in General Students

    I meant to say that the girl who got slapped in clinical was slapped by her CLINICAL

  19. What grade is "passing" in your nursing school??

    latebloomer74 replied to blessed2bfree's topic in General Students

    Was 77 in my LPN program, 1 girl in my class failed by half a point, they wouldn't give it to her, harsh. And the ADN program I am applying to it is 77 to pass as

  21. Difference between RN and LPN programs

    latebloomer74 posted a topic in LPN to RN

    I am applying for an RN program after having completed 99% of my LPN program ( unfortunately I didn't make it all the way to graduation). So my question is what is the main difference between the...

  22. How many really use STERILE technique?

    latebloomer74 replied to kwagner_51's topic in General Nursing

    I've had difficulty with sterile technique myself, and when you say the sterile field is like a box with glass sides it really clicked in my mind, thank

  24. Kicked to the curb, thanks

    latebloomer74 replied to latebloomer74's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Update: So I filed a grievance at the school and the grievance was denied. Unfortunately I cannot take this to the president of the school because they consider it a grade appeal. I don't know how...

  25. My nursing dreams are over . I failed.

    latebloomer74 replied to CariocaRN's topic in General Students

    Wow that is terrible. Big hugs. If this is really what you want, which it sounds like it is, fight to get readmitted. But if that doesn't work you could go the LPN route then bridge to RN. I can...
