  1. "Nursing students with C's are still nurses".. ?

    missjennmb replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    mine is the same except that an 80, which used to be a B when I was in college last time, is now a C in nursing. I understand the high grades requirement, but I sure do wish they'd leave the letter...

  2. "Nursing students with C's are still nurses".. ?

    missjennmb replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    As someone else said, I think there are a lot of variables that negate the A = good nurse, C = adequate nurse, philosophy. Thus far, classwork seems to reflect how much time you invest and how well...

  3. I hate nursing

    missjennmb replied to prettylittlenurse2b's topic in General Students

    Perhaps I'm looking for depth that isnt there, but when I feel trapped into something I start to detest having to do it. If I felt that I had no choice but to do something that I was unsure about, I...

  4. Going on to second semester with smaller class

    missjennmb replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    We were warned that half the class did not make it past the first quarter last year, but our class only lost one the first quarter, and will probably lose one (or none) this second quarter. I don't...

  5. For those whom completed the mother/baby course

    missjennmb replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I just wanted to say... you are NUTS. lol go shopping, get a mani/pedi, curl up with a trashy novel in front of the fire place (or out in the yard depending on location) Appreciate this time that you...

  6. I'm so tired!

    missjennmb replied to PeachyERNurse's topic in General Students

    I'm exhausted too. I went to the doctor and he did blood work (at my insistance...he was sure it was just school). It all came back fine though. He told me to drink coffee. The next week I had the...

  7. I hate nursing

    missjennmb replied to prettylittlenurse2b's topic in General Students

    :igtsyt: two responses in this thread (including my own) were from people who started nursing school due to boredom. Its not a crime. My husband makes great money too. I was supposed to stay home...

  8. Books... AHHHHHHH!

    missjennmb replied to crok9014's topic in General Students

    I never bought any of my books from the bookstore (except one lab book that I purchased incorrectly - but that was my error totally from being rushed in writing down ISBNs) Definitely buy your books...

  9. I hate nursing

    missjennmb replied to prettylittlenurse2b's topic in General Students

    I'm really shocked at all the back biting hostility in this thread. I think its sad that someone is doubting themselves and worried about if they have made the right choice and instead of giving the...

  10. Why so many fail out of our program?

    missjennmb replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

    My school has not been a cakewalk, but suprisingly we have only lost 1 person thus far going into our second (and third - AP) final. There are some hanging on by a thread, but somehow they always...

  11. Math and I don't mix, should I consider something else?

    missjennmb replied to LittleJ's topic in General Students

    I'm the opposite. I am a math wiz, and have wondered many times this semester if I should back out of nursing and get some sort of math degree. As another PP said, I like math, its black and white....

  12. Anyone else experiencing burnout??

    missjennmb replied to newbie08's topic in General Students

    I'm not burned out, but definitely overwhelmed. Big things are falling through the cracks in my life (forgot to pay the water bill and didnt realize it until it was shut off...) My house is beyond...

  13. Lawsuit Against The College Network

    missjennmb replied to mdhammons's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm glad it worked out for you. I keep getting spam calls and emails from them from contacting them a year ago regardless of my requests for it to stop. (things like "want to make your dream of...

  14. NLN PAX entrance exam

    missjennmb replied to njsnyder's topic in General Students

    I took a pax entrance exam where the numbers were completely different. Our school must have used the % numbers and not the same set that you did (i.e. sometimes score #s and % numbers and a slew of...

  15. male entering the NICU ward... sigh

    missjennmb replied to madmaxls6's topic in General Students

    I am not a nurse (yet) but I am a mother of 3, and there have been many times when my children were inconsolable until my husband was there to pick them up and talk to them. There's just something...

  16. Transferring A Patient

    missjennmb posted a topic in General Students

    I just could not do it. I am in the "CNA portion" of my clinicals, and we are doing a lot of transfers at the LTC facility. I transferred someone a few weeks ago and I almost dropped her because...

  17. Transferring A Patient

    missjennmb replied to missjennmb's topic in General Students

    Thank you for the tips. For specifics: this resident is over 6 ft tall (possibly well over - his legs were bent with his head touching the top of his bed and his feet against the bottom) and he is...

  18. Spring 2009 Graduating Class

    missjennmb replied to tachybradyRN's topic in General Students

    I will be done the end of the summer, 2009. So not too far behind. But I am only in an LPN program atm, and it will be Dec 2010 before I'm completely finished (well finished enough to be an RN - but...

  19. Done Done Done Done Done!!

    missjennmb replied to JStyles1's topic in General Students

    congratulations!

  20. I hate nursing

    missjennmb replied to prettylittlenurse2b's topic in General Students

    Sometimes, when we're in stressful situations, like nursing school, or having family and friends all expecting something from us, we have trouble seeing clearly. I know I do. Before you throw in the...

  21. Dental Cleanings in Long Term Care

    missjennmb replied to missjennmb's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thats great detail. Thank you SO

  22. should i study for 2nd semester finals or go to my grandmothers 75th anniversary?

    missjennmb replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

    My grandfather died this morning, so my view is... quite skewed by that, I will admit. But I just have to say that while I agree that school is incredibly important and i put it before other things...

  23. Adult Modeling ANd Nursing

    missjennmb replied to EmoAngel1202's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I'm not all that surprised at the responses here. Most would not even consider interacting with the "adult industry". But all that said, I think this is not something you can come to a board...

  24. Instructor asking for students to withdraw

    missjennmb replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Students

    I wish we could have a more hard a$$ approach to our students lacking commitment. Atleast one of them is practically dragged along with or without his consent. I just wish that they would stop...

  25. Dealing with excessively dry hands.

    missjennmb replied to THAT Nurse.'s topic in General Nursing

    I agree with not getting the water too hot. Between hot water and hospital antiseptic soaps the protective oils are so stripped from your skin. I just got a pair of gloves from Walmart for $1.40 that...
