    Student cheats off me in nursing school

    ArrowRN replied to nurseoholic's topic in General Students

    Failing....? Your school's policy?

    ArrowRN replied to KJoRN81's topic in General Students

    All these pass/fail rates need to indicate what type of nursing program it is. LPN, ASN or BSN? I doubt a BSN program would have a 87% as the required pass rate. Their attrition rate would be like 90%...

    ArrowRN replied to Soran's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Sure people can have preferences, but that PCA needs to get over herself. I think females make so much of this as to some pervert sexual turn on...I wouldn't want to clean my darn own wife's stanking...

    invisible Nurse tech

    ArrowRN replied to MariposaNoir's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Well at least you are learning what not to be or how not to treat people when you become a nurse. Just stick it out and chalk it up to learning because this will definitely put you ahead of the game...

    TEAS V Exam Score

    ArrowRN replied to katnurse1125's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Look at your school specific rank. If you are high - like 85th percentile or higher you should be ok. The 4.0 GPA also makes up for lower teas scores. Some people underestimate the TEAS and do not...

    Start from scratch or bring in old credits?

    ArrowRN replied to uds16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Because sciences is an area that changes rapidly and your knowledge from then would not be current to what is known today. It's probably beneficial to retake if it is allowed. Maybe a history class or...

    Start from scratch or bring in old credits?

    ArrowRN replied to uds16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought it depends on the number of years ago the credits were taken (I'm thinking 5 years) and if they were passes or not. IF it was more than 5 years you'd probably have to retake them anyways....

    Stereotyping Male Nurses

    That is true most men in general avoid drama. Hollywood would probably have him as a nurse by day, pimp by night. I was so dissapointed with the MTV Scrubing in "reality

    Difficulty difference between LVN and RN

    ArrowRN replied to JosephRAdam's topic in General Students

    The only location I saw an LPN in hospital was in hospice care and in wound care clinic. Both were "old school" nurses and in those days hospital took LPN's. I've never seen a new grad LPN in a...
