I started school when I was 18 and will be 22 when I graduate.

It really depends on your study habits so you really have to tailor it to yourself. One big mistake I've seen a lot of my friends make is just try and memorize everything. This may work short term but it will be much harder to retain and it will be a...

Luckily, I chose to live in themed housing my freshman year, so everybody on my floor was some sort of health major. It was one of the best decisions I made! We all became really good friends so we understand when each other had loads of work to do a...

No, as far as I know it's only our students who can go. Sorry! I would definitely check with your school though...I know we're not the only ones who do something like that!

Ok we're getting off topic...back to the original question!

All I'm saying is that the poster said it wasn't a CRIME to which you told him to cite his source because you haven't heard of any states where it's not a crime. He didn't say it wasn't ILLEGAL. I

First of all, not in Alaska. Secondly, just because you pay a fine doesn't make it a CRIME. If I counted correctly there are 11 states where it is decriminalized to an extent. It's basically like getting a parking violation.

Not true, I go to school in MA and we decriminalized marijuana possession for up to one ounce. You just pay $100, they take it, and you can be on your way with no further repercussions.

Do you mean other students as in ones who don't go to the school?

I know at my school it's basically impossible to do a traditional study abroad for nursing, unless you did it very early on with all pre-reqs. I've never heard of anybody doing this though. For people who can't fit in a whole study abroad, we have sh...

I have a similar situation in my nursing classes. There is one girl who cheats on EVERYTHING. It's so frustrating because we would all be stressing over an A&P or Microbio exam we just took and she would just admit it. "I didn't think it was bad ...

There are about 90 nursing students in my year and we all have Pathophysiology, Pharmocology, and Nursing Interventions together. Our skills lab for Interventions is 20 people and out Developmental Psychology class is around 120 people. They sound bi...

Hey everybody! I'm still in nursing school but I'm thinking ahead! I was wondering what everybody's experiences were with loan forgiveness programs, either through the government or with hospitals you accepted jobs at after graduation. Are they reall...

You should be fine I think. It will be hard but you won't drive yourself crazy over it. I took A&P, Microbiology, Sociology, and Psychology in one semester and did pretty well (As and A-s and a B in Micro). Granted, Pharmocology is harder than S...

I want to buy lots of plane tickets and travel everywhere!

I absolutely love this thread! I just finished reading every post and it further convinced me that the NICU is where I want to be when I graduate! I'm only a sophomore in a BSN program but I've been addicted to these boards over the past few days and...

Haha thank you, that is exactly what I mean!

For those of you who say you would report a student if you knew they were smoking pot in their free time, do you also think underaged students who drink on the weekends should be reported too? I don't mean anything by that, I'm just curious...

I don't think anybody here is saying that if a classmate is coming to class or clinical high that they shouldn't be reported. Obviously this is a serious issue and something needs to be done before they hurt somebody. I think what we're disagreeing a...

So what about underaged student nurses who drink on the weekends? That's breaking the law so should they all be reported and kicked out too? My nursing class would go from 90 to about 15. I don't think pot should be illegal and I really don't think i...

Sorry! I didn't realize I wasn't posting this on the student nurse board.

I know this is a long shot but is anybody on here from Northeastern University and has done a nursing co-op in Connecticut? I have my first co-op over the summer and I decided to go home for it so I won't have to pay for room & board. I'm startin...
