There are many people that failed Adults II this past term... We started out with 138 and 42 of those failed. You have to have a 75% or better and some people failed by 1 point, 2 points (me), some people failed by a fraction!!! The had a 74.49 and...

I did make an appt. with my instructor... she told me to bring all of my study materials when I come. She told me that I spent way too much time studying. So, she told me to back off a bit... I did that, and my grades were about the same. I saw no ch...

Thank you all for the advice. I just feel doomed, targeted... I have been studying my tail off and at times it feels as though it is for nothing. I have done good so far. I am almost at the end. If I can get through this, my preceptorship is next. I ...

I have been to the instructors... I have used outside tutoring... The syllabus is a joke. The don't stick to it. I read the material, I study, I do extra things like games, worksheets, I even have a study guide for our book that we are using and do...

I went to the department head along with 15 other students and had it explained to us. We had no choice but to sign it. But I also wrote on the paper that I didn't agree with what I was signing and under college policy, this should not apply to us....

I utilize every spare minute that I have. I don't spend time with my family at all anymore. Every night when I come home, I cook dinner, get the kids in bed, and I am back on the books. It's not because I am not putting enough effort into it. I h...

The nursing home that I worked at had the state come in there and they told management that CNA's could not have more than 12 residents per CNA. I was so glad that they did that. It made my job alot easier...

Good CNA's are HARD to find these days... I don't understand why people come into this profession if they don't have a heart to help others. I pray to God that I never have to be in a nursing home... pull the plug on me first and let me die!

I tried the study group thing, but I have found that I learn more when I just study by myself. I know that this may sound strange, but my instructor told me (regarding cardiac dysrhythmias) to stand in front of the mirror and hold up the strip in fr...

I know how you feel... I have felt the same way at times. I have had good clinical experience but the classroom is totally different. I feel that PJC tries to make you fail. They tell you what books to get and you get them... they tell you what yo...

Yeah, we do.. Adults I was a blur for me. I passed it with a B, but it was the GI system, urinary system, cancer... things of that nature. Adults II is only respiratory and cardiac, Adults III, from what I understand, is legal/ethics, ortho/nuero, ...

Lol, yes... I couldn't live without my buddy Ibuprofen. Aleve works good too! Any antiinflammatory will work best. I know that by the time I am done with nursing school I will have a bleeding ulcer from taking so much of it. But whatever I have t...

One thing that is readily available in nursing school is fellow students. If you need any help doing anything, you will be able to get help. I too have preexisting health problems. I have been in 7 car accidents and I can't lift over 20 pounds. M...

Most of your uniform shops know about the logos that have to be printed on the tops. I paid $15 for mine to be done. It really just depends on what you want and what is comfortable for you.

Wow, I didn't realize that we were like almost the only ones that are not using the SI system. When you put it on a map like that, it just makes sense that we should. I am one of the ones that can't wrap my mind around the mileage though. Kilomete...

BURN THE UNIFORM IN A BON FIRE!!!!!!!!! When I graduate in December, we are planning to do that. It will be GREAT because it will be cold, and the fire will keep us warm!!!! :monkeydance::yelclap::w00t::balloons::clpty:

People are always worried about GPA's. When you finally get your degree and you get out in the workforce, nobody cares about your GPA. Granted, the GPA is good to qualify for scholarship and grants, but other than that, it doesn't amount to a hill of...

I am sure that the school has the uniforms that students have to wear for clinicals. At my school, you had the choice to get them at the bookstore or in the uniform shops (which btw are cheaper than going through the school) They just had to be whi...

Well... I am repeating Adults II (cardiac and respiratory) this summer. We have 2 days of class (4 hours each day), clinical on Med-surg at my FAV-O-RITE hospital (11 hour shifts), spending time with Harvey (our heart and lung simulator that has hea...

Hello all! I am wanting to get some input for the Pinning ceremony that I am in charge of planning for our class in December. First I want to give you some background... I was the President for the Pinning Committee for August 2008, but because I...

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INFORMATION!!!!!! I failed Adults II the first time, but I am keeping the faith that I will make it this time. I have a WONDERFUL instructor that I am meeting with that is helping me direct my studies. My problem is that...

I know where your coming from... I have failed Adults II and now I am repeating that right now. I missed the mark by 2 points. I am scared to death that I am not going to make it, but I am trying my hardest to get through it. My BF failed too... s...

I am in my senior year and I have not seen this conversion yet. I was a Unit Coordinator for 10 years and there was only one doctor that used to write orders for tylenol in grains. (He was an older DR) The pharmacy does the conversion for you when t...

That is unethical. Plain and simple. I would report that to the Department Head, and if it didn't work, go to the Provost, and finally to the Dean. If it still happened, then I would take it to the Board of Nursing. If this school is accreditated...

I am now in my senior year and will be graduating this December. I remember that feeling when I started Intro. I wasn't really scared about the clinical because I had so much experience with patients already, I was actually excited about that part....
