  1. 13-hour clinicals too long?

    chaxanmom replied to marie-francoise's topic in General Students

    Yeah I could never do those 24-30 hour deals. No way. I can't THINK when I am tired, let alone THAT tired. People would be kicking over left and right I would be making so many

  2. 13-hour clinicals too long?

    chaxanmom replied to marie-francoise's topic in General Students

    I do 12 hour clinicals but mine are preceptorships so I'm basically doing the same things as the new grads. It's fun and does go by pretty fast. I'm not used to it though so physically I am exhausted...

    chaxanmom replied to Dr.Nurse2b's topic in General Students

    My BSN program is almost all self-study. I'm doing the distance program at Indiana State. We have our syllabus and textbooks like on campus students, we read ourselves and we have power points with...

    chaxanmom replied to OldShoesRock's topic in General Students

    Actually, rather than giving one of them a lesson in real life you joined in their game and probably gave them a good laugh.

  7. MEOW! Catty nursing students

    chaxanmom replied to OldShoesRock's topic in General Students

    I grew up in a rural community in Ohio and now live in the suburbs of DC so i know both environments. The question isn't whether or not the behavior is rude, it's the fact that people let themselves...

  8. should you tell your classmate/co-worker about body odor

    chaxanmom replied to PEBBLES1's topic in General Students

    No you shouldn't but the instructor or supervisor definitely should! That is offensive to patients. Maybe go to whomever is above that instructor if she won't say

  9. What makes NS so hard?

    chaxanmom replied to JillFRN's topic in General Students

    I'm with Lisa. I don't think it's hard. I breezed through LPN school and am breezing through my BSN program too. Love clinicals too! Nursing is just my thing so it's not a chore to do the reading and...

  10. MEOW! Catty nursing students

    chaxanmom replied to OldShoesRock's topic in General Students

    Oh my gosh. Let's get real people. Now we have people all upset because someone didn't speak to them??? SO FRICKIN WHAT?!?! Grow up and get over it! You are supposed to be adults!

  11. MEOW! Catty nursing students

    chaxanmom replied to OldShoesRock's topic in General Students

    Clique. It's clique, not "click". And sorry but this just sounds sooo high school. It's really best to stay our of it. Not sure what you intended to accomplish with running to the girl. Not your...

    chaxanmom replied to ADPIE10's topic in General Students

    Nursing school isn't education?

  14. Infuriating Responses To Questions

    chaxanmom replied to ADPIE10's topic in General Students

    Doubtful considering it's required reading for many humanities courses and even high schools. And yes teaching through asking the student more questions is the Socratic

    chaxanmom replied to ADPIE10's topic in General Students

    Sorry but that is just stupid. YOU are supposed to be learning how think, not the NCLEX test administrators and not the patients. Heaven forbid anyone would have to use their

    chaxanmom replied to ADPIE10's topic in General Students

    Seriously. This is not elementary school, you're supposed to be learning how to THINK not be spoon fed

  20. Infuriating Responses To Questions

    chaxanmom replied to ADPIE10's topic in General Students

    I think it's great. It's called Socratic method and it's a very effective way of teaching. How any of you read Plato's "Republic"? The entire book is a conversation of this

  21. Well, rats.

    chaxanmom replied to Lunah's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I got a 1450. It was 98th percentile. Funny thing was that I was soooo uninterested in college at that point I was like "Meh, so what" and didn't even apply anywhere. Now that I'm old and SAT...

    chaxanmom replied to saltwaterstat's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm enrolled in it too and no you don't need to go through College Network for the CSMs. Have you seen the emails from students selling these study guides? I get a ton of them! You don't *have* to...
