    Should I tell my nursing school about my disorder?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Harmony4All's topic in General Students

    FOr those of you who feel the OP should not reveal her condition: What would you advise her to do if she is counseled/reprimanded on her inability to stay awake? What if her instructor feels it is a...

    Tell me if you think this is fair.

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to SPN-RC's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry that your baby was sick. Being a nurse (or student) and a mommy is often difficult to juggle (especially when kids give you no warning of being sick). Before I give you my opinion, a few...

    Anyone ever get stonewalled by the the Admissions lady?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to RevolutioN2013's topic in General Students

    You'd be surprised. I've worked for schools where this very thing happened. I have also served on admissions committees (as faculty, so my role was slightly different than the person you are trying...

    How does it feel to fail a nursing course?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to NayD_RN's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry that you are struggling with Peds. I am a peds nurse, and I can tell you, as much as I love it, it is NOT easy. I really haven't figured out why many students struggle with it (again, I am...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to upset student's topic in General Students

    Excellent post, Moogie. The 'failure to fail' is a big problem. I see it myself as an instructor. My biggest fear is that an instructor will say (of a student that I passed, and is now promoted to...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Nurse-One's topic in General Students

    Generally speaking, there is a shortage. Not all grads are getting hospital jobs within 3 months of employment. We could argue this until we are blue in the face. I happen to live in a major...

    And THIS is why instructors and students should NOT be friends on facebook. I don't want to know what's on your mind, and you don't want to know what's on my

    No wonder we are getting nursing students who are only in it for $

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to JDougRN's topic in General Nursing

    Let's face it. We all need to make money. Even those of us who are well off (present company excluded) can use extra money. No one wants to work for peanuts. I went to nursing school at 18 because my...

    Withdraw then audit?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Flare's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, in theory this sounds like the best way to go. But, his school/program may not permit this. He needs to check his student handbook to see under what conditions audits are permitted. And he...

    Is it always the student's mistake?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to lil_MaMa's topic in General Students

    Is this the school or hospital policy? As an instructor, there is NO WAY I can get my students' meds passed in an hour window (but maybe that's just me... or not, from the sounds of your situation)....

    I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how devastating this must be for you. This is sooo true, sadly. And the reality is, with grading haivng little subjectivity, it is very hard to justify...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Nurse-One's topic in General Students

    I didn't read the OPs post as telling students to not contimue thier studies. It was just a reality check, obviously only for some. I happen to be in an area where there is no shortage. There are...

    Your rights as an individual end when you are violating privacy, or defaming/slandering someone/something (ie, your school or your employer). This will not end when you graduate and get a job. We...

    Returning Nursing Student.. Need advice

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ashlea102188's topic in General Students

    best piece of advice: do not memorize!! Do not flood your head with facts. Unless your program is asking knowledge based questions, your knowledge of the minutia will go to waste. Sure, you need to...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to deetrain's topic in General Students

    Yes, it is fast paced, and nurses need to be quick thinkers. That's the reality of it. Not all slow-thinkers are dismissed from the program. They may need to take a specific course a second time...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to stellina615's topic in General Nursing

    My name probably gives it away!! I teach full time, have been teaching for 5 years and I love it. My masters is in nursing education, so that was my intent from the beginning. I work (that job) 3...

    Wow, the holiday schedule really brings out the best in nurses, huh? (One of the best perks about teaching nursing ). Speaking of which, think of it this way: I have every holiday off (excpet for some...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to mmgirlsmom's topic in General Students

    Think of it this way: the majority of nursing students were A students before NS (or they wouldn't have gotten into the program). You were the uppercrust of the college beforehand. Now, take all...
