  1. Grading Scales

    missjennmb replied to Pack RN's topic in General Students

    So you think its fine that an 80 can get you a 3.0 in one class and a 2.0 in another? Sorry but when everyone walks away judged on their GPA (I cannot get into my master's program w/out a 3.0 for...

  2. What type of student were you before nursing school?

    missjennmb replied to krltdy's topic in General Students

    I have always been able to glide by without trying in school prior to nursing school. I never did homework in high school, never EVER studied anything. I am quite positive I never read a single...

  3. Grading Scales

    missjennmb replied to Pack RN's topic in General Students

    unless your school is just a nursing school, i would not count on this. nursing programs sometimes have their own set of grade guidelines. in my school its even teacher specific (which i think is...

  4. NS with young children at home?

    missjennmb replied to sjc77's topic in General Students

    dont have time to read the other responses but... I have a 14 yr old that I homeschool, a 3 yr old and a 1 yr old. I was a SAHM before going back to nursing school. Sometimes I really wish I had...

  5. Students not working while going to school....

    missjennmb replied to CLJ1988's topic in General Students

    Mine is not like this. Pharmacology is 2 credit hours for instance and is a whole semester long. To the person who said they were starting their job and starting nursing school... I hadnt realized...

  6. Students not working while going to school....

    missjennmb replied to CLJ1988's topic in General Students

    If I did not have small children and kids that really need a huge chunk of my time, I would probably be as you. My 14 yr old barely needs me, and thats even with homeschooling him. He has no problem...

  7. Why do teachers tr to fail you???

    missjennmb replied to NStiger88's topic in General Students

    I'm really surprised at the polarizing nature of this thread. Most teachers are not out to get you. Every nursing school has those who really want to be there badly but can't make the grade. BUT,...

  8. Older students biased against younger students?

    missjennmb replied to Stephanieee's topic in General Students

    I'm not going to read this whole thread because its filled with ageism prejudice but this... sigh. I'm sorry but just because you want a spot in a program doesn't mean you are any better and doesnt...

  9. What is it most time-consuming you are studding now?

    missjennmb replied to Tiare's topic in General Students

    Pharmacology hands down. Even the "smart students" are struggling with our Pharm

  10. Students not working while going to school....

    missjennmb replied to CLJ1988's topic in General Students

    I worked 28 hrs a week (plus 8 hrs driving so technically 36 hrs p/wk) when I started nursing school. I almost had a mental break down to be honest. I have 3 kids (1, 3, and I homeschool my 14 yr...

  11. Good rolling backpack

    missjennmb replied to krltdy's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I couldnt use the washable kind. I had to go and specifically get a pair of solid white leather ones for clinicals (which dont hold up as well as the canvas unfortunately but they did fit into my...

  12. Good rolling backpack

    missjennmb replied to krltdy's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have a pair of white Nike Shox. They were about $100 but WELL worth it. They do like like sneakers though so may wanna check, but many people in my hospital were swearing by them, and I love them...

  13. How old were you when you began nursing school?

    missjennmb replied to jpearl119's topic in General Students

    I started Nursing school at 31 yrs old and will have my LPN a couple months shy of my 33rd birthday. (its a year program but I was born in October). I will (if all things go right) have my ADN by Dec...

  14. Do you know your schools NCLEX pass rate?

    missjennmb replied to shann106's topic in General Students

    My school had a 100% first time pass rate when I signed up. I think it may have been bumped to 90% or so due to one of last year's grads not passing the first time. However, out of the 20 who are...

  15. Med-surge worries... Teaching myself?? How?

    missjennmb replied to krazit3mp3r562's topic in General Students

    really, you need to figure out how your teacher teaches and go from there. This would not work for me b/c nursing tips and obscure tables are as likely to be the source for a question as the patho or...

  16. What mantra is getting you through nursing school?

    missjennmb replied to MySimplePlan's topic in General Students

    First off, I NEVER consider failing out. Ever. Its not a mantra, but I just refuse to allow myself to consider not being there. Every single time I have seen people start to consider failing, next...

  17. Med-surge worries... Teaching myself?? How?

    missjennmb replied to krazit3mp3r562's topic in General Students

    I struggled with the content as well. Half of my class is gone already to boot after many hoops and tests to get IN to my program (which just attests to its difficulty). A few things that help me....

  18. Non-religious nurses/students

    missjennmb replied to greenfaery's topic in General Students

    This has a LOT to do with what area you live in. I never realized just how much so until we moved from Florida to the "bible belt". In Florida, it is not acceptible to expect children to pray in...

  19. Interview etiquette for finding out the pay!!!

    missjennmb replied to XYnurse2B's topic in General Students

    as I think i mentioned in my earlier post, I've seen the behind the scenes in the hospital employee files and I can attest that this is simply not the case (that there is no room to move). Maybe if...

  20. Interview etiquette for finding out the pay!!!

    missjennmb replied to XYnurse2B's topic in General Students

    Sorry but I completely disagree with this! (not about the other poster being in a position of leverage) Its all about how you sell yourself. Thats why its important to sell them on hiring you before...

  21. Never been this unenthusiastic and unmotivated about studying..

    missjennmb replied to miniangel729's topic in General Students

    I felt EXACTLY this way about two weeks ago. I found a week when I had no test for about a week period and I took off after Thursday morning's clinicals and did not crack a book, open a bookbag...

  22. Does it bother you to address MDs by their title of Doctor?

    missjennmb replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    So here's my question... Those of you who say you address a person with a PhD as Doctor... how do you address a nurse w/ a

  23. SOMOGYI EFFECT

    missjennmb replied to mRpeNa's topic in General Students

    that sounds like another language lol wonder what it means in English

  24. Would you take class over if you made a "C"

    missjennmb replied to californiadreaming's topic in General Students

    I would go on and take micro, and then apply to nursing school. If you dont get in, take AP over again if you feel the urge. But atleast this way you already have given it a shot even w/ a C. As for...

  25. Nursing diagnosis for ear infection

    missjennmb replied to Idaho Murse's topic in General Students

    WELL the OP doesnt say "primary" anything, and if she wants to just do the primary, she can just copy off of her classmates Obviously anything related to coping difficulties comes before pain...
