  1. Back rub program

    missjennmb replied to jer053171's topic in General Students

    I was suprised about the cookies part too. I always thought we were supposed to drill health into people's heads (nicely of course!). Do you not offer the service to a diabetic who shouldnt have...

  2. Instructor Ignores Email & Says She Does Not Like Students Who Served

    missjennmb replied to MOLLBEE's topic in General Students

    some people are less comfortable with the internet and email than others... just use the medium that they are most comfortable with, if you want to get a positive

  3. Do you type you notes on Index Cards?

    missjennmb replied to SA2BDOCTOR's topic in General Students

    Flashcard exchange is INCREDIBLE. Not only does it allow you to make printable flashcards, but it also gives you the ability to test yourself online with them (better use of time online than surfing...

  4. What are you looking forward to doing most, when this semester is over

    missjennmb replied to Natingale's topic in General Students

    Cleaning my house. My house is just NASTY right now, but I cant ever find time to clean it between work, family time and studying. I am going to bleach my entire interior from top to

  5. Back rub program

    missjennmb replied to jer053171's topic in General Students

    I guess I just don't see it as a big deal, either for the 30 something or the old lady. I do kind of see it as more of a CNA ish thing, if there are CNAs around, (myself included - I always give back...

  6. School Grading Scales

    missjennmb replied to lizdctorn2b's topic in General Students

    This is how ours is as well. Including the no rounding up

  7. HELP! I got dismissed from my nursing school

    missjennmb replied to basid786's topic in General Students

    My advice to you, is to step back from the issue, and look inward. Nobody is perfect, not you, and not your teachers, but you can't change anyone but yourself. Look at this issue, stop finding blame...

  8. 5 second rule

    missjennmb replied to mauimama's topic in General Students

    are patients charged for two meds if the nurse drops it? Who incurs the cost of additional medications? If the patient was charged, and I was the patient, and in my own home, I would want to take it,...

  9. Do you have family issues in the nursing program?

    missjennmb replied to Starfish1's topic in General Students

    you're not crazy. people don't understand how difficult nursing school is, compared to regular classes, unless they walk a mile (or atleast listen and understand when you explain the details) My...

  10. Please help me with your opinions on this..

    missjennmb replied to 49*1's topic in General Students

    I work for probably the best hospital in my area (atleast in my opinion :) ) and one that many people have said that they tried to get hired into many times but were unable to. I would definitely...

  11. what will you be doing over the break?

    missjennmb replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

    I took Thanksgiving "off" to enjoy with my family. Baked banana bread and blueberry and pumpkin pies with my 3 yr old all morning, ate turkey with my hubby and kids in the afternoon. Put up our xmas...

  12. will i be smart enough for nursing school????

    missjennmb replied to 49*1's topic in General Students

    IMO its a lot more about finding the right way to study (for our classes, reading the material over and over is bringing more results than studying main points) and putting your mind to it. There is...

  13. Vent: Studying At Home w/ Family Around

    missjennmb posted a topic in General Students

    I just had to come vent. I am soooo frustrated. I am generally crazy busy, and due to a surprising turn of events, was able to stay home today. So I'm like... yay! I get to knock out a couple of...

  14. Harder Than I Thought

    missjennmb posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Its been a rougher than rough 8 days. I thought that it was "just school work" and I would enjoy the difficulty (because I generally LOVE school and the tougher the better) but HOLY COW!!! I took my...

  15. Harder Than I Thought

    missjennmb replied to missjennmb's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I forgot that I'd written this! Its actually getting tougher and tougher, but now that I'm starting to get a routine its not as bad as it was. I asked everyone who gets As how they do it, and...

  16. Vent: Studying At Home w/ Family Around

    missjennmb replied to missjennmb's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the support. :) I'm over it today and decided to give my teen an "easy day" with his work if he will let me alone to do mine. I was just going NUTS yesterday lol and it seems you all...

  17. anyone actually get good grades in nursing school?

    missjennmb replied to moonbunnie's topic in General Students

    I see those who say "C=Failing" and "I have an A-/93 avg". In my school, its 80+ to pass, but an 80 is a C and a 93 is a very solid B So what would be a B in a traditional school grading system...

  18. very excited- $50/hr

    missjennmb replied to Ally0981's topic in General Students

    why not perdiem? In my department, per diem just means you are not used for more than a couple of shifts a pay period. Its still the same floor, hopping between shifts (one of our per diem people...

  19. Interviewing for Schools

    missjennmb replied to Gurmo's topic in General Students

    the OP's program was a BSN, so that was what I directed it towards. I don't know enough about Masters programs to say one way or another, but then if that was the OPs question I would have kept my...

  20. I wanna know a little about nursing school and how hard you found it to be.

    missjennmb replied to lovelyB's topic in General Students

    If I was not working I could easily read a couple of novels a week. (esp the trashy ones, I used to be able to go through them like toilet paper when the mood strikes!) I don't think every program...

  21. Need Help Making The Leap

    missjennmb replied to shistevens's topic in General Students

    The good news is, LPN programs are generally 1 year long. So whatever situation you put yourself into, you just have to stay strong for one year. I work part time, go to school, raise a family,...

  22. Getting through NS with a Family!

    missjennmb replied to chnc1024's topic in General Students

    I work about 28 hrs a week (at a place an hr from home), go to nsg school, homeschool my 13 yr old, and have a 1 yr old and a 3 yr old. Its been really tough. Its been MORE than tough. There are...

  23. realistically what compensation can a new grad expect?

    missjennmb replied to malestudentnurse's topic in General Students

    It depends on what state you are in, and what environment you are going into, and what nursing degree you are getting. An RN at my hospital starts out around $21 p/hr if I remember correctly. An LPN...

  24. I wanna know a little about nursing school and how hard you found it to be.

    missjennmb replied to lovelyB's topic in General Students

    I don't find it hard persay, so much as vastly time consuming. I have not seen anyone who (in my class and my teachers' test style) was able to not read ALL the chapters, and still did well. Those...

  25. Interviewing for Schools

    missjennmb replied to Gurmo's topic in General Students

    Not every school has an interview. My school had about 100-120 applicants for our 15-18 seat program. Only 16 made it in. We were all given an entrance exam (not the NET) that very few people...
