  1. are "fake nails" okay for nurses?

    Why do you want to wear something that risks the lives of you and your patients? To look good? Do you really want to bring home all that bacteria? Whats wrong with you?

  4. What is failing at your school?

    Not kissing instructor butt, not being a devout priss, having an opinion- all this is failing at my school
  5. Clinical Hours

    You guys get it easy-try 4 12 hour shifts this week, 3 12 hour shifts next week, 5 12 hour shifts the week after-repeat x3. Talk about tired!
  6. Uniform policies?

    Every nursing school uniform is hideous. Grin and deal with it. Have a uniform burning party when you finnish!
  7. May grads, how are you studying for NCLEX?

    Our finals (NCLEX)were much more difficult then any of the sample tests in Mosbys. Everyone in my school that just reviewed the NCLEX books like Mosbys either failed the exam or came really close to it. I suggest you review your modules several times...

  12. Flattering/Stylish Uniforms

    The word "uniform" alone describes a lack of style or creativity. I suggest you give it up

  23. How do you get tested in your school?

    We have nclex style tests that are worth 75% of our mark. If you fail more than 1 class in the 4 years you attend our program you are out! (permanently)Talk about pressure! We've lost almost 25% of our classmates in the last year.
