  1. Do we have valid complaints?

    peytonsmom posted a topic in General Students

    Honestly I don't think my classmates are overreacting w/ our current situation but I could be wrong. I'm going to give you a little run down of our class tonight and let me know if this is seriously...

  2. What do you wear in lab?

    peytonsmom replied to tiffanyleigh0212's topic in General Students

    Oh we had the tube tops and short shorts too...and we're a small catholic school. I can't believe she didn't get sent home. Apparently one kid was made to turn his t-shirt inside out that said...

  3. Nursing school.... is just a bunch of BUSY WORK?

    peytonsmom replied to SilenceDogood's topic in General Students

    Our last clinical project this semester is to go to the local art museum, find a painting we like and then do a care plan for one of the people in the painting. 'Nuff

  4. Do we have valid complaints?

    peytonsmom replied to peytonsmom's topic in General Students

    Oh good heavens! Yeah that would annoy me too. I don't mind that they don't want to take class time to go over the tests, I totally understand that. What irritates me is that they are refusing to...

  5. Do we have valid complaints?

    peytonsmom replied to peytonsmom's topic in General Students

    The NCLEX pass rate is actually the best out of the area schools, ADN & BSN,...but according to the recent grads that spoke to us at graduation they started out w/ 45 people and ended up w/ 18....

  6. Do we have valid complaints?

    peytonsmom replied to peytonsmom's topic in General Students

    We have a similar set up for challenging questions as stated right in the handbook and she has flat out said she is not following it for this last set of tests. We are all wavering back on forth on...

  7. Missed Clinical Orient. May be Expelled

    peytonsmom replied to dozndawg's topic in General Students

    I"m all for making sure you give yourself extra time, but it is just not feasible for most of us to leave an hour early for our classes. We had a guy that lives an hour away from the school get...

  8. only in nursing school

    peytonsmom replied to fiveofpeep's topic in General Students

    Only in nursing school can a professor walk into the room and announce that she has graded our tests and the grades are final and she is not allowing anyone to so much as ask her one question about...

  9. most important body system?

    peytonsmom replied to lovelylady42's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Def go over fluid/electrolytes. That was hands down the most difficult test of our semester so far in

  10. I have the FLU!!! What now??

    peytonsmom replied to ShortStackRN's topic in General Students

    I talked to a kid a few weeks ago who was wearing a mask because he had the flu but was told that unless it was CONFIRMED H1N1 he would not be excused from class. Well, around here they aren't even...

  11. Missed Clinical Orient. May be Expelled

    peytonsmom replied to dozndawg's topic in General Students

    I think you'll find you can get kicked out of a nursing program for just about anything. With everyone and their brother signing up for nursing school these days it seems to me that there are some...

  12. OK to wear nice pants on interview for staff nurse?

    peytonsmom replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I've never hired a nurse, but I did used to work in HR and I would nix the dress. There aren't a lot of dresses that can look professional instead of "dressed up" like you're headed out for an event....

  13. Colleges spitting out new nurse without any training?

    peytonsmom replied to fulzgold's topic in General Nursing

    I think half of my class would kill for that kind of experience. The very few extern positions I have been able to find in our community are not only unpaid, but open only to people that already work...

  14. To all you nursing students out there with families and responsibilities

    peytonsmom replied to FutureOBNurse2118's topic in General Students

    I'll second that!! My house looks like a bomb went off right now. It's seriously embarrassing and horrible. More than a few times already this semester we have run out of clean laundry and dishes....

  15. Urgent: Iv drip rates, flow rates etc

    peytonsmom replied to twinjeep97's topic in General Students

    if i remember correctly microtubing is always 60gtt/ml, while macrodrip tubing can be 10, 15, or 20 gtt/ml. so if you have a problem using micro tubing you will always use 60gtt/ml but if the problem...

  16. To all you nursing students out there with families and responsibilities

    peytonsmom replied to FutureOBNurse2118's topic in General Students

    I'm halfway through my first semester of NS with a FT job, a 4 year old boy, and a 27 y/o husband that acts like a 4 y/o boy. The program I am in is considered 3/4 time instead of full time (so I...

  17. What is this Dosage problem asking?

    peytonsmom replied to reidesert's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Honest - I'm sure every program is a bit different but I can tell you the rules that we go by. First, NEVER use a trailing 0. So write 2.6 instead of 2.60. The thought is that if someone has some...

  18. only in nursing school

    peytonsmom replied to fiveofpeep's topic in General Students

    Yup. Straight from the syllabus: Humanities are expressed by the Art Museum trip. The students find a painting they like, pick out one character in the painting and write a care plan for that...

  19. only in nursing school

    peytonsmom replied to fiveofpeep's topic in General Students

    only in NS would have to take a field trip to the art museum and have to do a care plan for a person in a painting as an assignment. Seriously?? Apparently it's the school's way of integrating the...

  20. Nursing school double standards?

    peytonsmom replied to Risgirl's topic in General Students

    I'm going to have to disagree. Just because the school recommends that you do not work more than X number of hours doesn't mean it's not possible to work FT and go to school. I sought out other FT...

  21. Nursing school double standards?

    peytonsmom replied to Risgirl's topic in General Students

    I attend a night program as well and i'd say close to half of us are trying to work FT, go to school and have a family life. The good thing about our program though is that it is not a full time...

  22. Owens - anyone know what's happening?

    peytonsmom replied to mama2boyz's topic in Ohio Nursing

    The way I understand it is that you can still go there and take your nursing classes and take the NCLEX and get your license...BUT if you want to further your education and get your BSN that's where...

  23. Mercy College of NW Ohio?

    peytonsmom replied to peytonsmom's topic in General Students

    I want to think the cutoff was a 3.2 or a 3.4 but i'm not 100% certain. I know that she said that had I applied in January instead of May I wouldn't have had to be on the waitlist w/ my GPA. Ohio...

  24. Mercy College of NW Ohio?

    peytonsmom replied to peytonsmom's topic in General Students

    If we are talking about the same councelor, She helped me w/ the transfer process and was awesome. Def took the time to do all she could for so that I could get started this semester. Mercy is a...

  25. Mercy College of NW Ohio?

    peytonsmom replied to peytonsmom's topic in General Students

    I did get in and started this fall. So far I really like it, it is just a LOT of work and a huge time committment, or at least more of a time committment then I was counting on. I am taking...
