  1. Strong enough for nursing?

    You never know just how strong you are until you try. If nursing school has taught me anything so far, its that I am much stronger and much more capable than I ever imagined I could
  2. why do you care if a student misses class?

    Why do they care? Because a group full of women in a competitive environment leads to being in everyone's business but their own in order to build themselves up by tearing others down. Its catty....
  3. Can an LPN get a BSN?

    The reason that you never see an LPN with their bachelors is that by virtue of the degree itself, it makes you an RN. So you could see people who WERE LPNs becoming BSNs but they would then be able...
  4. How do those of you with kids do it all?

    Now that I'm not working its pretty easy actually. I have 3 kids (14 yr old homeschools, 1 and 3 yr olds in daycare). Husband takes them in with him in the morning and brings them home with him at...
  5. ati RN comprehensive predictor 3.0

    I dont know if it is or isnt (pretty sure it IS cheating) but cheating is a black and white thing. If your SCHOOL is ok with it, thats their perogative, but if not, I would not want to be part of it....
  6. Dilemma -- any advice?

    She paid to take the classes she is taking. Its her money or her parents money or her loans or whatever, so its really nobody else's business. The whole "how dare this person take a spot from...
  7. New trends in delivery room

    I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your personal story. I have been a huge advocate of being cautious of these kinds of things (ican-online.org for one-International Cesarean Awareness...
  8. What to tell nosy boss...

    So you want them to accomodate your schedule change and when they are nicely accomodating you you are going to quit? I dunno. I think you should be honest and just suck it up and accept what happens....
  9. How do you work during nursing school?

    I worked and it went perfectly until I ran out of resources to deal with the unexpected. 1. Do you get a pretty set schedule each semester of school that allows you to then choose when to work? We...
  10. Verbal attack by co-worker

    At my hospital, write ups are pretty common when things are not done right. Sometimes people even write themselves up if they feel they have made an error of some sort. IMO if you are seeing these...
  11. When you feel like giving up.

    That is downright impressive lol. When I don't feel like doing nsg school the last thing I am interested in doing is cleaning my house. Usually I end up with a video game or tv night and a bottle of...
  12. What's the coolest thing you have done or seen so far?

    The most shocking, amazing, horrifying, nightmare-causing, saddening thing I have seen so far... a bone/skin/tendon/cornea tissue donation on a man that died the night before. I can't even discuss...
  13. how many non-traditional students are here?

    I'm 32 and in an LPN program headed for my MSN in Midwifery. I never considered myself "non traditional" because really, I've been in college my whole life for one reason or another. I think that...
  14. I'm such a horrible wife!!!

    Maybe this is a communication issue? If my husband planned a getaway, I would be thrilled, but he also would never plan it for a bad time for me, because I keep him really up to date on what I'm...
  15. 20% Pass Rate

    but if you are not a good test taker, that decreases your shot at getting past the NCLEX no? And isnt that the main purpose of nursing school? (all bs aside, our teachers and administrators made it...
  16. 20% Pass Rate

    I dunno, my GPA was either a 4.0 if I was interested or a 2.0 if I wasn't. But, I'm very smart. I definitely think a tough entrance test makes all the difference. If a student cannot pass say a PAX...
  17. 20% Pass Rate

    I disagree. There's no way that you can know what this says without being there to know more of the facts. In my current community, the school system is very poor, and MANY of those who are taking...
  18. Completely Unhappy With The School I Chose

    Our program is bad as well. Our teacher is teaching an online class for another college simultaneously and as a result, she has pretty much stopped having any kind of prepared lecture at all. We get...
  19. A 100 % on Dosage and Calculations

    Our school has a math competency test they give at the end of the semester. They said that if you did not pass it you would not be able to pass meds. guess what? they let people who failed it pass...
  20. What is the hardest semester in nursing school

    I'm in an LPN program atm, so this may be different for you, but in our program, the saying is, "if you make it through pharm, you're golden". We have had students fail out of Fundamentals, MS1, and...
  21. I saw a tissue harvest yesterday

    Has anyone ever seen this? This was a decreased patient who's bone, skin, tendons and corneas were harvested. I am having difficulty processing the event. It was a very laid back atmosphere and...
  22. Students not working while going to school....

    Maybe the stress of YOUR school is not as bad as financial stress but thats not the case here. :chuckle In my starting class of 17, we are down to 10, and there is only 1 person left who works while...
  23. 20% Pass Rate

    I think that people like to scare other people. We are always telling pre-nursing students how tough school is and how we wish we had gone elsewhere. But ya know what? We're still here, and those...
  24. What is your choice?

    I would not have said airway because your airway is affected through C3 and possibly C4 and you said the question said C5. C3 vertebrae and above : Typically lose diaphragm function and require a...
  25. Why do teachers tr to fail you???

    Just wanted to chime in here. I have attended private school and public school as well and I think that teachers themselves vary greatly in their ability to get information across (not saying any...
