  4. Doctors disrespect Male nurses.

    eleectrosaurus replied to Jimmyjuice's topic in Men in Nursing

  12. Nursing student weight

    eleectrosaurus replied to Tinkx RN's topic in General Students

    +30lbs over 2 years. I wasn't stress-eating as much as eating to keep my energy up from lack of sleep. Time issues as well, pulling all nighters studying and preping for clinicals: some nasty burrito,...

  13. Are C's really the new A's in nursing school?

    eleectrosaurus replied to nursingstudent2458's topic in General Students

    Clearly this is your program, if you plenty had A's, where other programs had zero A's. It speaks to the program, not academic ability. What I have a hard time accepting is people who went to "highly...

  18. Nursing Classes: Are they really that bad?

    eleectrosaurus replied to JD87's topic in General Students

    I guess I should have qualified it further, there appears to be alot of variablity by program, general difficulty, grading scales etc. I'm certainly no dim bulb. 4.0 on pre-req's, previous degree....

    eleectrosaurus replied to JD87's topic in General Students

  20. Merritt College Fall 2012

    eleectrosaurus replied to DisneyDreamer's topic in California Nursing

    I hate to be a buzz kill. I'm a '12 grad too. Yes Merritt grads are much more competent that others hands down, but the reality is the majority do not make it. By all means start fundamentals, but...
