    Hotdharma2011 posted a topic in General Students

    Hotdharma2011 replied to COLPN's topic in General Students

    The grading scale for my school is: 96% is an A and less than 80% is failing. It is tough and there are always lots of tears after every exam! and just like many of the other posts, my school prides...

  4. Not doing well in school. Need advice.

    Hotdharma2011 replied to Fundamentals(1986)'s topic in General Students

    Hotdharma2011 replied to SoCaliGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hotdharma2011 replied to SoCaliGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hotdharma2011 replied to la mama 310's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. Are there any others who don't 'love' nursing school?

    Hotdharma2011 replied to Hotdharma2011's topic in General Students

    It is really so refreshing to hear that it's so common to feel what I'm feeling! I agree that giving baths, doing peri-care, etc is a way we learn compassion, and what not. I get it. I even enjoy hair...
