  1. How do you tell when being an RN is not for your?

    myhalo replied to babblingbrook's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I was in the exact same situation you are in. The only difference is that when I went to my doc thinking I had ADHD I was prescribed Ritalin, that got me through another year in the NICU. I am...

  2. In progress MSN... can't stand nursing theory... switching to PA school ASAP

    myhalo replied to algebra_demystified's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I agree with you about the theory classes.....gag me! I am just doing what I have to do to get through and learning what I need to on my own mostly. I considered changing programs but was not...

  3. This can't be right...

    myhalo replied to pinkstudentnurse20's topic in General Nursing

    It might help if you look up what normal respiratory and heart rates are for a five year old child as you seemed focused on these "abnormal" findings. You will find that they differ greatly from the...

  4. "Atypical" Nurse? How discouraging...

    myhalo replied to Darjeeling22's topic in General Nursing

    Run...fast there are more rewarding careers out there!! Nurses can be so

  5. Should I go to the Dean?

    myhalo replied to 3perfectcats's topic in General Students

    I think you should go talk to the dean. In the program I was in they did not grade anyone's presentation until everyone had presented, and you got docked points for going over. Being succinct is...

  6. Thinking About Surgical Technologist

    myhalo replied to Dottie78's topic in General Nursing

    First I would say if you want to be a nurse you should go for it. I am a single mom of three and have made it! Of course your husband would have to be supportive! If you are thinking of going to...

  7. White Scrubs help!

    myhalo replied to DD_Drummer44's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Ah... good point, got me on that one!!

  8. Grades don't matter!

    myhalo replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

  9. Grades don't matter!

    myhalo replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, I can't tell who you are saying would not make it in your program and who gave you the idea that they know how the tests are written...did I miss that?? I hope you were not directing that at...

  10. Grades don't matter!

    myhalo replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    You seem to be a hateful person. Did I say I did not do well?? Unless you subscribe to the idea that one B is bad I guess!! I just said I hope her kids do not ever keep her from that late night of...

  11. Grades don't matter!

    myhalo replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    You sound like a very driven person, I hope you continue to do well. You are very lucky that you have not had to sacrifice a night or two of studying for an exam for one of your children. I hope...

  12. Grades don't matter!

    myhalo replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is a little harsh to say that they would not be good nurses and that you do not want them at your bedside. The groups you mentioned account for a lot of people!! I understand about those...

  13. Grades don't matter!

    myhalo replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    Really? How much do they run? I have not heard of buying a grade, but I suppose it happens unfortunately! Now that is the nurse I do not want taking care of me or my family!! Things sound like they...

  14. Anyone else feel like they haven't praticed enough skills?

    myhalo replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Students

    Then we are in the same place in our programs!! Congrats on making it this far, I am actually graduating in Decemeber with BSN, just finished preceptorship/internship in the NICU, it was great...you...

  15. Grades don't matter!

    myhalo replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know how to respond....ummm I guess you have a valid point, but I agree...not comparable!! Like I mentioned earlier though, not everyone is cut out for critical care!!! Hopefully those...

  16. Grades don't matter!

    myhalo replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    The truth is a C is "good enough", and there are many people in many situations that knowing they can get a C helps them deal with other things in their lives like test anxiety or their family...

  17. Pre-Nursing: Swinging school on single salary?

    myhalo replied to TinyMuggle's topic in General Nursing

    oh, must have misunderstood when she said it irks her when people say

  18. Grades don't matter!

    myhalo replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    Ah-hah...There is a huge difference in our schools grading systems!!! Our clinical experience is stricly pass/no pass, and you pass unless you are unsafe basically. We are graded on multiple choice...

  19. Pre-Nursing: Swinging school on single salary?

    myhalo replied to TinyMuggle's topic in General Nursing

    LOL, about the grades comment. I fully agree, but I am on another posting on the general nursing forum about whether or not getting A's makes you a good nurse!!! Someone was offended by C=degree,...

  20. Anyone else feel like they haven't praticed enough skills?

    myhalo replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Students

    First, you are not a "bad nursing student", how far in your program are you? I have yet to meet anyone who loves general med-surg, but some want to do it for the diverse experience. I am with you I...

  21. Pre-Nursing: Swinging school on single salary?

    myhalo replied to TinyMuggle's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I am a single working mom who has almost completed four years of nursing school YAY!! I encourage you to find what works for you, a good balance is the key. I started out working full time at a...

  22. Grades don't matter!

    myhalo replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    Not true, I am offended and have all A's and one B+ after 4 years of school. But I have classmates who have B's and C's who are excellent in clinical especially compared to some of the A+ students!...

  23. How many hours should i be studying a day?

    myhalo replied to NursingStudent-Tati's topic in General Nursing

    Well....does that include time to write care plans??? Our care plans took 6 to 14 hours to write each week of clinical throughout nursing school. So if you have 7 hours a day devoted to school work...

  24. Grades don't matter!

    myhalo replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    Being fair to the OP, the NS I go to is very hard to get in and the 24 of us in the program each semester worked very hard to get in, everyone had straight A's at some point just to get in. People do...

  25. Grades don't matter!

    myhalo replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    I have one semester left in nursing school (BSN), and I have found that there are two kinds of "A" students, the ones that just get it and are good in clinical and get good grades without killing...
