    jollydogg_RN replied to jollydogg_RN's topic in General Students

  2. HESI question: Please Read all the way.

    jollydogg_RN replied to jollydogg_RN's topic in General Students

    this is my point. there has been problems with HESI 1, and multiple complaints and nothing done. one time it was 84 degrees in the room, so maintenence came in DURING the test and used drills and...

    jollydogg_RN replied to jollydogg_RN's topic in General Students

    once again, this isnt the nclex i cant pass. as i stated, 5-7 of us could have passed this exam, but were strung up by technical difficulties during the exams. sometimes there ARE situations that call...

    jollydogg_RN replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

  6. Reading alot of posts discussing "A" nursing students vs "C" nursing students

    jollydogg_RN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    the bolded are all my input. you know, you've said a lot of judgemental things. hopefully you'll become less judgemental and more understanding throughout nursing school. just as there is room for...

  7. HESI question: Please Read all the way.

    jollydogg_RN replied to jollydogg_RN's topic in General Students

    even if i DID bring forth a lawsuit, i still wouldn't become a nurse. i would still have to pass the NCLEX. people who take 3-4 times to pass the nclex STILL HAVE A DEGREE TO SHOW FOR NURSING SCHOOL....

  8. Reading alot of posts discussing "A" nursing students vs "C" nursing students

    jollydogg_RN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    so you're still in school, yet you're assuming this must have been a "C" nurse. this is the type of attitude that fuels this whole debate. its great that you accept nothing less than As or Bs. good...

  9. Do I have to choose another profession if I fail clinicals

    jollydogg_RN replied to lori305's topic in General Students

    here is my question: if the director and one of the instructor stated they recognized you were an older, intelligent woman capable of giving excellent care, why WHY WHY couldn't they talk with the...

  10. Reading alot of posts discussing "A" nursing students vs "C" nursing students

    jollydogg_RN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    our college also doesn't do the + and - thing. i think in 75% of my grades, that scale would help me SIGNIFIGANTLY... kinda sucks getting an 83.5 in a NINE HOUR nursing course and getting a 2.0......

  11. Reading alot of posts discussing "A" nursing students vs "C" nursing students

    jollydogg_RN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

  12. Ironing your Scrubs

    jollydogg_RN replied to medsurgtrenchesRN's topic in General Students

    i iron my clothes and my scrubs the bachelor way... take a washcloth, make it slightly damp with water, and toss it in with whatever clothes i need to be wrinkle free. then i turn it to low heat for...

  13. I need a Miracle !

    jollydogg_RN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    crying and praying are both legit forms of dealing with stress and hardship. it looks like praying worked out for her. for some, their future is in a higher power's hands. you need to learn to be more...

  14. horrendously long post... read if you dare (and if you have time?)

    jollydogg_RN replied to jaysmom's topic in General Students

    i dont see how old you are in the post, but obviously you are a non-traditional student. can you not get loans or talk to anyone in the admin of the LPN program about lesser known scholarships and...

  15. HESI question: Please Read all the way.

    jollydogg_RN replied to jollydogg_RN's topic in General Students

    when there are graphs associated with the questions that dont pop up when they are supposed too, leaving you to guess how much insulin to give based on a sliding scale. would you ever, EVER guess how...

  16. HESI question: Please Read all the way.

    jollydogg_RN replied to jollydogg_RN's topic in General Students

  17. Grades- do instructors round up?

    jollydogg_RN replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in General Students

    Me and the other person posting never said that C students are better bedside nurses. We said we are just as qualified to practice nursing as the A students. Do you think a nurse will be remembered...

  18. Grades- do instructors round up?

    jollydogg_RN replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in General Students

    im pretty sure the argument that was first made, and what this whole discussion is revolving around, is that people like bicsters, mohleee, and others are saying C students make mediocre nurses. Not...

    jollydogg_RN replied to jollydogg_RN's topic in General Students

  20. Grades- do instructors round up?

    jollydogg_RN replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in General Students

    this makes me so sad..... to know there are people with this attitude. you can "master" everything that is taught to you in school, but you will still need to learn more. you never "master" nursing....

    jollydogg_RN replied to jollydogg_RN's topic in General Students

    jollydogg_RN replied to jollydogg_RN's topic in General Students

  23. HESI question: Please Read all the way.

    jollydogg_RN replied to jollydogg_RN's topic in General Students

    actually, this week we all banded together (about 15 of us) and went to the vice president of academic affairs. when we walked in, she asked what we were doing, because she was walking out. she was on...
