  1. Possible to get straight A's in nursing school?

    kgh31386 replied to kaiasunshine's topic in General Students

    That's the motto of slackers, whiners, and people who make excuses because they didn't get an A or B. A's are definitely possible, it all depends on you. We had some folks who made mostly A's, we had...

  2. Acceptable Behavior?

    kgh31386 replied to jackometer's topic in General Students

    You'll find everyone will do things their own way...sometimes you have to do things like that to get through to a patient who may be uncomfortable. So what if it dropped onto his gown? once again,...

  3. The Ugly Side of Nursing!

    kgh31386 replied to Francesca_H's topic in General Students

    You can wear a mask if you want, smells will be smells. Infected wounds are worse than poop sometimes....remember. Everybody poops :) And to those who think, I'll just work ICU, L&D, or OR. You...

  4. upset about teacher's clinical evaluation for last semester

    kgh31386 replied to pptnurse's topic in General Students

    Like they said, how can you get a HR if you didn't really hear one? And mixing up RR and HR,

  5. Grades don't matter! Are you sure??????

    kgh31386 replied to dinah77's topic in General Students

    To those who really try to say that pre-med is equivalent to nursing shcool...WOW. How wrong you are. I'm not belittling anyone, but some people have to quit their jobs to pass A&P, or Micro? Most...

  6. Seriously, why do they come to class?! shut up already!

    kgh31386 replied to Certifiable's topic in General Students

    Just move and sit by the teacher, end of story. I really doubt you can hear someone from EVERY spot in the room, or else the teacher would say something. Also, why does it make you mad they weren't...

  7. Foley Catheters

    kgh31386 replied to EssaQ502's topic in General Students

    My first foley was during OB in school..it was on a 15 year old pregnant Mexican girl in labor with her mom holding her hand saying "see...this is what you get for doing what you

  8. Foley Catheters

    kgh31386 replied to EssaQ502's topic in General Students

    When I was in school, we had to do Foley's as a check-off. So yes they could fail you if you don't do it. I've put in a good number(both males and females)...does it hurt? 99% of the time, no. The...

  10. Friends cheating.. what to do?

    kgh31386 replied to ajeanpants's topic in General Students

    lol and how close are these friends that they didn't include you in the cheating? If they were really your friends, they woulda included you You won't get them in trouble because the teacher doesn't...

  11. Friends cheating.. what to do?

    kgh31386 replied to ajeanpants's topic in General Students

    Agreed. This whole "I won't tell on my friend, how would you feel if you got your friend kicked out" idea, is stupid The people telling you not to report it are relying on "karma" it seems like. Well...

  12. Friends cheating.. what to do?

    kgh31386 replied to ajeanpants's topic in General Students

    I'm no tattle tale...but in cases of cheating... TURN THAT MESS IN. Not to get them caught or in trouble, but to let them know slide by with it. Email the teacher(who cares if the teacher knows your...

  13. Nursing Student & Working....HOW!!???!!

    kgh31386 replied to reesedatdude's topic in General Students

    Oh and not to mention I got some of the best sleep I could during nursing school. True, some people barely sleep, but others are just fine. You just gotta find out for yourself, don't let any of us...

  14. Nursing Student & Working....HOW!!???!!

    kgh31386 replied to reesedatdude's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't necessarily follow that advice. I didn't want a roommate while I was in school, so I didn't have one. I also didn't want any loans, so I ended up getting scholarships through school and...

  15. Is it bad to get b's in nursing school?

    kgh31386 replied to ooomonkeys's topic in General Students

    oooooooooh god not that mess again. That's the worst mindset anyone could ever have. Why would I want to be associated with a C level of expectation, or a C level of competency. C= you earned a C, end...

  16. Sinus tachycarida?

    kgh31386 replied to EricaSAFJAF's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Not quite. And to the person who said it's for BP...not right again. I suggest looking it up and understanding the mechanism of action. You don't give it to lower someone's HR, you give it to increase...

  18. partially compensated? uncompensated? compensated?

    kgh31386 replied to savagetrojan's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Be careful when you say normalizing. The question doesn't say what the values were prior to any moment in time. Your Ph in #1 may have been 7.46 before, you don't know. Look at the current values and...

  19. Help dismissed from RNprogram

    kgh31386 replied to olliefos's topic in General Students

    haha But really, to the OP...no matter how bad some people want things, you can't always get it. And the fact that you want to find a "loophole", not good. As they said, if you knew your vision was...

  20. Hmmmmm Why Do Nursing Students Fail?

    kgh31386 replied to yel550i's topic in General Students

    People fail because they don't get concepts. Nursing school is no harder, and no different than any other type of education. A test question is still a test question. If you know a concept or topic,...

  21. Night Shifters!

    kgh31386 replied to Mashira's topic in General Nursing

    I work 7p-7a. From 7-11 my differential is $4.50, from 11-7 its $4.00. From Friday 7pm til monday 7am I believe. the weekend differential is $8. I usually work Fri Sat Tues. So I get $12.00 extra on...

    kgh31386 replied to 2011NursingStudent's topic in General Students

    I was an extern who worked Fri Sat night...then I would go to class Monday morning and do clinicals, labs, whatever other days of the week. Now I'm an RN on that same floor working Tues Fri Sat. I...

  23. Awkward situation

    kgh31386 replied to Student7881's topic in General Students

    I'm just guessing...but sarcasm isn't something that many people know about on this thread. I'm willing to bet she was just kidding about cheating. I'd be kinda mad too if I was just kidding about...

  24. venting

    kgh31386 replied to nurse12b's topic in General Students

    I'm just gonna chime in about that. Just because you have a uniform on and stethoscope doesn't label you a student, RN, RT, MD, visitor, etc. to that patient. On my floor, we have patients with family...

    kgh31386 replied to prime11214's topic in General Students
