  1. Did you have a math competency test? (rant)

    missjennmb posted a topic in General Students

    After the end of our first semester, we had to take a math competency test. We were told that it would be graded but would not affect our grades at all. However, those who failed it would not be...

  3. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    missjennmb replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    "Why do you feel the need to brag about how you didn't study and made an A, when only last semester you were throwing such a dramatic sobbing fit because you worked so hard and were barely passing"...

  4. Things you would LOVE to say to your nursing instructors...

    missjennmb replied to Montessori Mommy's topic in General Students

    :yeah::yeah: "how many of your students are now nurses who cannot even pronounce TAMPONADE????" (wasnt even close... she said tampione") My teacher has no idea how to spell half of the diseases and...

  5. Whats your clinical instructor/student ratio? Should I change a program..

    missjennmb replied to miniangel729's topic in General Students

    Ours is not much different and think its fine. I've really enjoyed my program thus far. how is your clinical like for you? what is the instructor/student ratio? First semester, our clinical was in...

  6. So, tell me again why you suddenly want to be a nurse...?

    missjennmb replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe in God. So I don't believe any higher power "called" me to nursing. I used to want to be a software programmer because I love math and felt I would enjoy it. Then suddenly I no...

  7. Back to being an ugly nursing student

    missjennmb replied to lovehospital's topic in General Students

    silverbells I reread her OP and don't see where she clumped all nursing students together what so ever. I also don't see being clean, comfy, and not wearing make up as "not taking care of yourself"?...

  8. First Semester and I am extremely stressed.

    missjennmb replied to patricianyc's topic in General Students

    Just wanted to agree with the previous posters. 1) make a routine for yourself so that you dont get behind...nothing is worse than getting behind with the amount of material you have to cover 2) don't...

  9. Is it too much?

    missjennmb replied to psySins's topic in General Students

    our nursing students are in a "bubble" at our school and our program is really held seperate from the rest of the school. Our nursing stuff ALWAYS comes first. The only times I can think of where we...

  10. I'm teaching Math - Any ideas to make it fun, interesting?

    missjennmb replied to AprilW3's topic in General Students

    1) use real life scenarios whenever possible 2) use hands on demos and visual aids that apply to their future time as a nurse (a great "quiz" would be lining up a variety of syringes/cups/ect and...

  11. Last semester students when will you apply for a job and what specialty?

    missjennmb replied to lovehospital's topic in General Students

    There are a variety of areas that I would like to work in, including psych, dr's office, outpatient surgery (esp cosmetic), ER, LTC, and i'm sure the list will expand as I continue to gain experience....

  12. Need Help with Smoking Issue!!!!!!!

    missjennmb replied to Nursey103's topic in General Students

    Is there any way to claim the office as YOUR space only? Or study in another spot? hmmm My husband used to smoke. I'll ask him what kind of request would get through to him if it was asked. He...

  13. Nursing School Students...Is It Hard?

    missjennmb replied to HappyMeNow's topic in General Students

    I would probably agree with you to a point, on it getting easier. Now that I have figured out how to study and how the teacher's style is (thankfully we only have 2 possible instructors so we have a...

  14. Nursing School Students...Is It Hard?

    missjennmb replied to HappyMeNow's topic in General Students

    We generally learn 5 chapters a week, and w/ no review days at all, have a test every 3rd class. In our Pharm class, our first test is on 9 chapters. Some of the test questions come from an obscure...

  15. Is it possible to be too compassionate to be an effective nurse?

    missjennmb replied to animal1993's topic in General Students

    I had the SAME fears as you do, still do to a point. I always thought that I just could not possibly handle seeing a bad situation and have more than once thought that maybe I was doing all of this...

  16. Doom and Gloom (A & P 1)

    missjennmb replied to clamonte79's topic in General Students

    AP is just memorization. Thats it. If you can memorize information, you can pass AP. I am definitely NOT scientifically inclined, academically speaking, and I did well enough to "sacrifice" time...

  17. Had a Bad Day

    missjennmb replied to mfuentes's topic in General Students

    It doesn't get easier. It doesn't. The work is the same, and in some cases harder. For me, the work just got tougher. Last semester I had 2 nursing classes, clinicals 2 days a week starting at...

  18. For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    missjennmb replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    I said that too at one point, and then my car broke down three times while I was out alone (thankfully it didnt happen when hubby and my 2 babies had it) and finally last weekend my car caught fire...

  19. How Do You Stay Positive?

    missjennmb posted a topic in General Students

    Just wondering what sayings everyone has, and what practices, to keep on track when the going gets tough? Two weeks ago my car died on a lonely country road half an hour from anywhere (halfway to...

  20. Annoyed with some instructors already!!

    missjennmb replied to aerorunner80's topic in General Students

    Can you move up front? I would never in a million years be at the back of a room for these very reasons. I don't think its worth commenting on though because you do NOT want to get on these people's...

  21. Taking two anatomy classes at once

    missjennmb replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    if i had NOTHING else going on, I would do it. But i mean NOTHING. It is not any harder than any nursing class, (easier than ours imo) but you have to spend a lot of time memorizing data. if you...

  22. Class sizes

    missjennmb replied to sproeber89's topic in General Students

    We started out with 16, lost 1 first quarter, then 4 more 2nd quarter, gained one that had dropped the previous year, and now have 14. This group of 14 does almost everything together. We have all...

  23. Passing Some Students Who Failed!!!!!!

    missjennmb replied to GlennatheIncredible's topic in General Students

    If you were currently about to be kicked out of the class I would say give it your all, in a respectful and professional way. BUT, since its water under the bridge at this point and nothing you can...

  24. Do You Outline Chapters?

    missjennmb posted a topic in General Students

    So share your secrets! Do you outline? If so, how do you do it? Do you get every bit of information out of the chapter or just the main highlights? How many pages do you end up with having...

  25. Do You Outline Chapters?

    missjennmb replied to missjennmb's topic in General Students

    Thats what I did first semester. I read the chapter, and if I didn't understand a section, I would re-read it. Then the weekend before the test, I would read through it again. I didn't do bad (I...
