  2. I Hate Nursing School

    Mithrah replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    I love my nursing school experience. I have heard other nursing students in my area complain and I know I am very fortunate. I hear about instructors at other schools who cause students to cry, get...

  3. Accelerated ADN?

    Mithrah replied to StacyC417's topic in General Students

    I am in an accelerated ADN program and the difference is that we went to school during the summer. It is no more intense than the traditional

  4. What does this mean???

    Mithrah replied to SpecFuz's topic in General Students

    SpecFuz, do you know if you took the HESI PN or the HESI RN test? I know a student who didn't make an 85 on the HESI PN test but still passed boards. HESI I hear is really old and nothing like...

  5. Barely Passed

    Mithrah replied to Banginplates's topic in General Students

    Our minimum passing grade is a 76%, but they do not round. You are very very lucky that they rounded your grade for you. Enjoy your break and when you return in January give it a 110% of what you...

  6. itchy residents

    Mithrah replied to Nancy45's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    After looking up "winter itch" on google (aka xeroderma) it looks like 10% of the population gets this. In fact, this explains why I have been so itchy lately myself. I thought it was my dryer...

  7. How many IVs....

    Mithrah replied to linfull's topic in General Students

    We are encouraged to do as many IV starts as possible. The ER has been the only place where I've had the opportunity. We practiced on fake arms but they just are the same. I have heard that some...

  8. What is HESI??

    Mithrah replied to kwagner_51's topic in General Nursing

    HESI is not based on a percentage. There is no such thing as an 85%. The highest score you can get is a 99.99. I got a 99.54 and I missed 29 questions out of 150. The test is really good at...

  9. Question??????

    Mithrah replied to PrincessMel's topic in Arizona Nursing

    How do you know you aren't pregnant? If you have 100% ruled out the possibility of being pregnant then one possibility is that you are too thin and your body fat % is too low. It is never normal for...

  10. Nursing in Arizona

    Mithrah replied to Rocknurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Rocknurse, can I ask you what hospital gave you the offer? I am just curious, and is this a travel nurse

  12. Plasma Donation

    Mithrah replied to meandragonbrett's topic in General Students

    I sold my plasma several times while attending college for some extra gas money. At the time I felt it was worth it because I loved the money, but now I wouldn't do it because I don't want the track...

  13. Anyone take the HESI?

    Mithrah replied to geekgolightly's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I took the HESI PN and got a 99.54. I didn't think it was that hard. I didn't study for it either. I don't plan on taking the NCLEX PN, I am waiting to finish two more semesters so I can get my

  14. How hard are nursing classes?

    Mithrah replied to flaced's topic in General Students

    I've read a lot of people say how hard nursing school is. I think it depends on your previous experience with school and how smart you study. I think nursing school (ADN) is easy. On a scale of...

  15. Hesi

    Mithrah replied to memphisgurl's topic in General Students

    I get to take the HESI exam in one week. Our instructor informed us that there will be 200 questions on it (for PN). That is more than the real boards! I don't think we have to get a minimum score...

  16. Great books you'd recommend

    Mithrah replied to Mandee's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    On Death and Dying by Elizabeth Kubler Ross. I thought it was a wonderful book and had wonderful stories about how patients felt about their poor

  17. are you a grade conscious conscious student?

    Mithrah replied to reign's topic in General Students

    Marilynmom, I don't understand how you could bring a 3.3 GPA to a 4.0. That seems mathematically impossible. Could you please explain how you managed

  18. do grades determine how good of a nurse you will be?

    Mithrah replied to 3kidsmomma's topic in General Students

    I disagree that some people can be considered bad test takers. You either know the information or you don't. Nursing is both an art and a science. You need to be passionate and caring towards your...

  19. my first venipuncture

    Mithrah replied to ava'smomRN's topic in General Students

    Good job! We didn't practice on people because the instructors said there is risk for infection. So I still haven't started an IV or drawn blood on someone. Hopefully soon

  20. "Thats not my patient"

    Mithrah replied to nurse2002's topic in General Nursing

    I am a student nurse and I hear "that isn't my patient" already where I do my clinicals. When I am a nurse, I will assists my coworkers to the best of my abilites. I can't stand the nurses who...

  21. Not enough time to finish my Chemistry test!

    Mithrah replied to gordi24's topic in General Students

    I hate timed tests! If I know we have to be done by a certain time I go over the test really fast and save the hard questions for last. That way I at least finish the test and can organize my time...
