  1. Failing 4th semester....feeling like a failure

    Leesha replied to Leesha's topic in General Students

    I just wanted to give an update on my situation. I found out that I only have to repeat the class that I failed in 4th semester and not the entire semester. Since finding that out I have decided to...

  2. Failing 4th semester....feeling like a failure

    Leesha replied to Leesha's topic in General Students

    I agree that nursing school is difficult and is teaching nurses to be prepared for what life will be like once they get into their practice. However I do not think it is fair to include people that...

  3. Failing 4th semester....feeling like a failure

    Leesha replied to Leesha's topic in General Students

    Leesha replied to vc01ca's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  7. What can an LPN student do to get ahead?

    Leesha replied to nekozuki's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I would brush up on math for sure because it is a huge part of what you need to know. I know that with my program in particular they never offered a nursing math class which is unfortunate because...

  8. Failing 4th semester....feeling like a failure

    Leesha replied to Leesha's topic in General Students

  11. Failing 4th semester....feeling like a failure

    Leesha replied to Leesha's topic in General Students

  12. Should I report wide-spread cheating in my class?

    Leesha replied to malarwen's topic in General Students

    I would report it. I have had the same thing go on throughout my program although it did not do any good when I reported them. Just yesterday I failed 4th semester by 3 questions (6 points) and all...

  18. Do you keep all of your textbooks? To rent or not to rent?

    Leesha replied to mangopeach's topic in General Students

  19. What do you use to carry your books around?

    Leesha replied to pandorasbox's topic in General Students

    Leesha replied to Leesha's topic in General Students

    I'm not asking whether or not I will be a good nurse because I know that I will be. I'm simply wanting opinions on this type of personality which I consider to be a "strong personality". I know that I...

  25. new student, not what it seems.

    Leesha replied to ddr436's topic in General Students

    Hi, I suggest taking all of the basic classes first. My program actually makes you take those classes first before you can even get accepted into the program. I think it's a smarter way to do it. I am...
