    kgh31386 replied to enesberg's topic in General Students

    Most externships require you to be in school full-time WHILE you work as an

  2. Do you just love it when professors test you on information you haven't learned??

    kgh31386 replied to hershdawg's topic in General Students

    I don't buy that complaint either. When I was in school, all I heard was "such and such teacher tests ALL the time on stuff you guys won't cover. omg you're class is screwed". I'd pull an A out no...

  3. This semester of nursing school not going well for me - unbelievable

    kgh31386 replied to Nogoodmood's topic in General Students

    Ok bottom line, learn to accept from criticism for things that YOU did wrong. You don't like verbal instructions? Too bad, not for you to decide. Other people being harsh? No they're being empathetic...

  5. Experiences with rude staff at clinical sites

    kgh31386 replied to SdntNurse's topic in General Students

    My opinion about that kind of mindset, especially when I interview new grads, is that you will have trouble finding a place to work. Honestly, no one has to like you, you don't have to like anyone,...

  6. Why do some RNs hate this?

    kgh31386 replied to nursingstudent2458's topic in General Students

  8. School's hidden agenda, "NCLEX pass rate: Weed out students who will not pass"

    kgh31386 replied to Bala Shark's topic in General Students

    Lol I've heard it all in this thread. It started off with nursing school being "too hard". Then they say it's too easy and they let "too many people pass and fail the NCLEX after graduation". Come on...

  9. How RUDE can you be??

    kgh31386 replied to aachavez's topic in General Students

    My advice...let it go. She may study before and after class and know the material just fine(don't judge or assume). I was never one to take notes in lecture, but that's just how I was. I would...

  10. How do you track tardiness/absences

    kgh31386 posted a topic in Nurse Management

  11. C=degree

    kgh31386 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    Like I said before, a C= a C amount of material known. I understand that some people will try their hardest and can only get a C. But the excuse that "I really knew it, it's just the way the questions...

    kgh31386 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    Ok I read this whole thing...and call me Frank if you'd like. Here's an analogy....you just passed your driving test and got a driver's license. You got by with an average score, you know kinda...

  16. Nursing teachers being biased?

    kgh31386 replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Students

    What's with the whole dwelling on rumors mess? Think about this, do you know what the kid emailed the teacher about? Is it a crime to have a good relationship with your teachers or bosses? He might...

    kgh31386 replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

  18. ATI Bare Naked! What do you want to know?

    kgh31386 replied to ggabri07's topic in General Students

    Lol I was never a fan of ati. I would get a level 1 or 2 maybe on the test, but have an A in the class. Then half the ppl who failed the class got level 3's. I did get a 98% on the comprehensive...

  21. Do you think there would be less RN students if the economy was better?

    kgh31386 replied to kalevra's topic in General Nursing

    There would be less RN students if the schools didn't make it sooooooo flippin easy to get in. A LOT of schools don't even require General Chemistry. The pre-reqs are filled by "aerobics, english 101,...
