1. nerves/confidence

   FUTURE_RN_08 replied to student_nurse1986's topic in General Students

   For example, we did a presentation last year on Board of Ethics and I bought bookmarks and passed them out, and it kept them busy reading while I was talking. LOL That was a pretty good distractor I think, plus it was something nice for them to have ...

2. i need some help with math!

   FUTURE_RN_08 replied to mRpeNa's topic in General Students

   There are different ways to get the correct answer when doing Pharm Math. It does not matter how you get there, as long as you get there. When in doubt I always use ratio- proportion technique and I ended up with an A in the class. But, our book had ...

3. nerves/confidence

   FUTURE_RN_08 replied to student_nurse1986's topic in General Students

   I hated Public Speaking! I am not a shy person either, but something about being in front of a large group of people and having attention drawn towards me just made me very uncomfortable. It would make me sick a month before the event would even take...

4. I failed my class (BUT I FEEL GREAT)

   FUTURE_RN_08 replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in General Nursing

   I think you will do fine next time you take the class. I went into Nursing with a 4.0 GPA because of a previous degree. But, nothing could have prepared me for test taking when it came to nursing. I wished that someone would have warned me that you w...

5. How was Nurses Week celebrated at your Facility

   FUTURE_RN_08 replied to HIPPIECHIKRN's topic in General Nursing

   It seems the hospital are always in dire times when it comes to celebrating "nurses week". If they do not acknowledge it, why even have a NURSES WEEK? It just upsets alot of nurses and makes the facility look cheap and the nurses work unappreciated. ...

6. I failed my class (BUT I FEEL GREAT)

   FUTURE_RN_08 replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in General Nursing

   We lost almost half the class after the first semester. I think they overwhelm you on purpose and throw alot of busy work at you just to see if you have what it takes to make it. I graduate this weekend, and looking back I can not imagine repeating A...

7. Terrible clinical day, nurses don't seem to care.

   FUTURE_RN_08 replied to Koyaanisqatsi-RN's topic in General Nursing

   After making sure the patient was safe, I would have ventured out to her nurse and let her know what you witnessed in the room. Then I would have ask her if she was possibly a falls risk? I would have thought if she was 80, frail and confused she sur...

8. Older students biased against younger students?

   FUTURE_RN_08 replied to Stephanieee's topic in General Students

   I am graduating with my RN next month at the sweet age of 45! Wahoooooo!!! I have respect for all ages that have been able to get through this intense program. During the last two years in nursing school, I have gotten along with all age groups. Its ...

9. Anyone age 35 and and up and a nursing student? (say hi)

   FUTURE_RN_08 replied to Mandylpn's topic in General Students

   I am 45 and will graduate with my RN in May! YAH!!! I am one of the oldest in my class that is still there. Trust me, I am shocked that I am still in the program and have come this far when so many have failed out. I think age is just a number and it...

10. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    FUTURE_RN_08 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Please do not brag about how you did not open a book, but once again was able to get that "A" on our nursing exam. Hmmm.... wonder how that happened? Or, if it really did happen? LOL... (who cares anyways) Also,please do not make me part of the "chai...

11. anyone actually get good grades in nursing school?

    FUTURE_RN_08 replied to moonbunnie's topic in General Students

    It does not matter if you have all As in Nursing School. There are several booksmart nurses out there that do not know how to apply it in the clinical field. I have seen many put stress on themselves trying to get that A. The only thing I care about ...

12. Will I be too old for nursing school?

    FUTURE_RN_08 replied to nrsbetsy's topic in General Students

    I have one more semester left in the ADN program and being 44, I can tell you that age does not matter when it comes to going back to school. My nursing class ranges from ages 20 - 50, and I have gotten along with all ages. My daughters are ages 25, ...

13. Need Advice

    FUTURE_RN_08 replied to wlb06's topic in General Students

    I think you should move back in with your parents because nursing school is so intense and you will be so busy studying, I am sure you will not have time to "go crazy" while living back at home. We all make sacrafices to get through nursing school. B...

14. Why are we having so much trouble passing Med Surg?

    FUTURE_RN_08 replied to phoenixfire's topic in General Students

    I think if theres a problem with so many flunking a test (e.g. 4 out of 50 passing) they did not get the content. In my opinion that would be the instructors fault, not the 95 % that flunked the test. There is a problem if so many adults flunk one te...

15. What makes NS so hard?

    FUTURE_RN_08 replied to JillFRN's topic in General Students

    I think what makes nursing school so difficult is because you are overwhelmed the entire time you are in school. Then at test time, they have 4 correct answers and you have to pick the "BEST ANSWER". It is just never ending stress!
