  1. South College

    ~FutureNurse~ replied to ks48's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I never went to South College, but I know people who have. I have only heard bad things about their program. One girl I knew, had to take the NCLEX like 5 or 6 times. Another girl that I knew, that...

  2. Should students be penalized due to Instructors Mistake ?

    ~FutureNurse~ replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I don't really think it us a huge deal--it is only one point. However, with that said, my teachers would not do this. We actually had this exact thing happen--while we were reviewing our old tests for...

  3. I need a Miracle !

    ~FutureNurse~ replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Having faith in God isn't hoping he will take care of you, it's knowing he will!! Isn't HE great! I am so happy for the blessings he has sent your way!! In him

  4. Grades- do instructors round up?

    ~FutureNurse~ replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in General Students

    Not that it matters--but I'm not a C student--and no, I wasn't implying that all A/B students lack in compassion. Just that, I can tell, from the few posts I have read from some people on here that...

  5. Grades- do instructors round up?

    ~FutureNurse~ replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in General Students

    When someone you love is dying in the hospital..I want you to make sure and ask your nurse(before she provides care of course) what grades she made, what her GPA is, and how she did on NCLEX. I mean...

  6. Grades- do instructors round up?

    ~FutureNurse~ replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in General Students

    lol---your poor soul! Darlin' I hate to tell you, but we have to keep an 80 at my school. So, I am still doing well. At least a B, and I have compassion. So--I think I will go further. God help the...

  7. Grades- do instructors round up?

    ~FutureNurse~ replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in General Students

    I think something you need to learn (and quicky) is that it takes alot more than making an A on a test to be a nurse. It takes compassion (which you seem to be lacking in), it takes putting yourself...

  8. Grades- do instructors round up?

    ~FutureNurse~ replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in General Students

    Well, I hate to bust your little bubble..but (at most schools) C DOES equal RN, and there is really nothing you can do about that now is

  9. Grades- do instructors round up?

    ~FutureNurse~ replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in General Students

    Well, we have to keep an 80--not a 75. And, I was just saying I think it is VERY nit-picky to fail someone for .02 of a point. Like another poster said..you think there is a huge difference in someone...

  10. Grades- do instructors round up?

    ~FutureNurse~ replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in General Students

    Heck no! No rounding at all. We had 6 people fail this semester. We have to have an 80, and people failed with an 79.8! Scary. I personally think that is a little absurd. I mean .02 of a point....

  11. How do you do it?

    ~FutureNurse~ replied to Lovelymo79's topic in General Students

    I don't really have any advice. I am lucky, in the fact that I don't have to work while in school. I did take a few student loans out. Nursing school, for me, has been soooo much harder than all of...

  12. How do you deal with annoying classmates?

    ~FutureNurse~ replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Students

    Don't deal with them. Don't sit with them, don't talk to them. You have more important things to do in class--like listen to lecture and take notes-- only advice I've got!

  13. new student, not what it seems.

    ~FutureNurse~ replied to ddr436's topic in General Students

    Ha! First semester was a piece of cake compared to second. I still have two more to go. I wish you luck, but highly doubt you will be able to keep this no studying thing up.

  14. First Year Finished!! Anyone else??

    ~FutureNurse~ replied to graceomalleyRN's topic in General Students

    I am right there with ya! We took our final two weeks ago! I can't believe I am here...time really does fly! Now, if only May 2010 would hurry and arrive!

  15. For the LMU nursing students...questions

    ~FutureNurse~ replied to HeatherTN's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Amber-- I don't think it will affect you that much. I had to retake that math class too, and I got in. Apply, you have nothing to loose! I start my senior year in August, and will graduate May...

  16. Bittersweet!!

    ~FutureNurse~ posted a topic in General Students

    So, we had our Med-Surg final yesterday--and afterwards, our teacher let us wait while she graded our exams, so we could know what we made, and if we had passed. One by one we went into her office and...

  17. Really bad test questions!!

    ~FutureNurse~ posted a topic in General Students

    Don't you guys just hate it when there is a terrible test question! Here is a question, that I think sucks!!! I can't remember the exact wording-- - You know that your patient has fully understood how...

  18. MAJOR delima...I need some help

    ~FutureNurse~ replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Students

    Apply for a Chase private student loan--you do not have to be working! Good

  19. Really bad test questions!!

    ~FutureNurse~ replied to ~FutureNurse~'s topic in General Students

    Well...they way the procedure was taught to us was...if you start at 9 am--you void, discard that urine and keep the rest until 9 am the next morning. So, I guess I am just being literal..when it says...

  20. C's in nursing school

    ~FutureNurse~ replied to hTx87's topic in General Students

    Just be glad that you only have to get a C to pass. In my program, we have to maintain a B average in all nursing courses. And, they don't round up--so if you have a 79.99%, you still fail the class...

  21. Is anyone starting NS at LMU in Knoxville??

    ~FutureNurse~ replied to ~FutureNurse~'s topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Ok..bunch of questions--lets see: like I said I do not know how the schedule is at Alcoa--but at the Knoxville site in 115, we went 2 days/week. One was a lecture day and one was a clinical/lab day....

  22. Is anyone starting NS at LMU in Knoxville??

    ~FutureNurse~ replied to ~FutureNurse~'s topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Hi there! I am in my second semester at LMU, however, I am at the Knoxville campus. So, I really don't have much advice on the Alcoa sight. It has been hard these past two semesters. Nothing like my...

  23. Should I go to clinical w/strep throat?

    ~FutureNurse~ posted a topic in General Students

    I went to the doctor today, and found out that I have strep throat. My doctor says to stay out of clinical for the next two days. I have tried calling my instructor 4 times, and have sent 2 emails...

  24. Should I go to clinical w/strep throat?

    ~FutureNurse~ replied to ~FutureNurse~'s topic in General Students

    That was my thing. While, I did/do feel like crap, I didn't want to go more for the safety of my patients! I do my clinicals on a floor that has very sick people--gosh forbid I give one of the strep...

  25. Should I go to clinical w/strep throat?

    ~FutureNurse~ replied to ~FutureNurse~'s topic in General Students

    I finally got a hold of my lead instructor. She said that I can not come in with strep throat. I do have a doctor's note!! I am glad I don't have to go today, I feel like complete crap!! Thanks for...
