  1. My be kicked out for plagerism of outlining an article...help

    tfleuter replied to Nurse Allison's topic in General Students

    Hopefully your instructors will see past the mistake and understand your intent. What a shame to kick someone out of the program for something (IMO) so trivial. If you were writing a research paper...

  2. dating in nursing school

    tfleuter replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't recommend you dating this guy even if you weren't in nursing school and had all the time in the world. You two are not even a couple yet and he thinks he gets some kind of special...

  3. Gain or Lose Weight?

    tfleuter replied to gams77's topic in General Students

    Depends, when you are stressed, do you eat or do you skip meals? I definately defalt to eating when stressed/busy and make excuses for not exercising even though it would make me feel better. My...

  4. End of first semester

    tfleuter replied to jrw03282009's topic in General Students

    My finals are next Wednesday and Thursday and I will be glad when they are done! I feel pretty confident that I will be getting an A for two of the nursing classes and at least a B+ if not A- for the...

  5. "Blocked" from Nursing Program Help

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

    Might be beneficial to contact your cell provider and see what information they can pull up off of your phone to use in your defense. I've never dealt with anything like this, but maybe having a...

  6. Moving to Utah

    tfleuter replied to litbitblack's topic in General Nursing

    Gag, I hope the job market looks a lot better in a year or

  7. H1N1 vaccine & clinical

    tfleuter replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in General Students

    Our school did give us the option to opt out from the H1N1 vax, but we were informed that many hospitals and clinics in the area will not allow those students to come to the clinical site if a "break...

  8. Peptic Ulcer and Strep Throat

    tfleuter posted a topic in General Nursing

    I went to the ER this weekend after experiencing epigastric pain. I was told that it is possibly due to a peptic ulcer and was given a referral for an EGD to confirm. I set up the appointment...

  9. Peptic Ulcer and Strep Throat

    tfleuter replied to tfleuter's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the response :) I will definately contact the facility where I set up the appointment, but I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with this and knew how it would go, one way...

  10. End of the semester laziness

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

    I do this every semester as well. It's so predicatable with me it's not even funny. I work really hard through the first half of the semester for the good grade, then start feeling the urge to slack...

  11. Wearing scrubs to clinicals...

    tfleuter replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    Like others, I'm more worried about what I carry out of the hospital than what I'm carrying in. Certainly any facility you go to will have a restroom where you can change if you are really concerned...

  12. How much is too much for student loans?

    tfleuter replied to jadedgreeneyes's topic in General Students

    Just like others have said, take out as little as possible, and just b/c a school advices you not to work, doesn't mean you can't. My program strongly suggests students not work either, or at least...

  13. The "Curve"

    tfleuter replied to New 2 iceeYouRN's topic in General Students

    Or that the teacher is proficient at writing NCLEX-style tests Love my instructors, but there is one certain class where we know that on each test at least 1 or 2 questions will be dropped b/c the...

  14. PLEASE HELP!!! ASN to CRNA??

    tfleuter replied to crazybumblebee's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Actually, I did a little looking into the anethesia program closest to me and it looks like they don't require a BSN, but will accept a BS in a closely related field, in addition to the critical care...

  15. Pay range for new grads...

    tfleuter replied to CrazyPremed's topic in General Nursing

    Big concern for me as well. Depending on how my husband's job is doing by the time I'm ready to enter the workforce, I may consider at different state as well. I like Utah a lot, but didn't grow up...

  16. PLEASE HELP!!! ASN to CRNA??

    tfleuter replied to crazybumblebee's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    That's an interesting question, I was under the assumption that you had to have your BSN first before applying to any anesthesia program, though it would be interesting to see if one did have some...

  17. help Low High school Gpa

    tfleuter replied to MurkNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I believe most nursing programs will only consider your college GPA, not your highschool. Most important thing you need to do is have a plan! Do some research and have a top list of schools you...

  18. Pharmacology study tips for new nursing student

    tfleuter replied to cunchurch2's topic in General Students

    I'm in my first semester of nursing which includes our pharmacology course. So far I have an A in the class and the two things that have worked for me is making detailed flashcards and studying the...

  19. Do you have to be smart to be a nurse?

    tfleuter replied to ladynurse266's topic in General Students

    I don't think there's anyway around it, you will need to pass tests to graduate from nursing school and you will need to pass THE test (NCLEX) to get your license. See if your school offers any kind...

  20. People are dropping like flies

    tfleuter replied to 20mom10's topic in General Students

    I haven't noticed anyone drop out in our first semester, nor have a heard any rumors of such. I think any student who couldn't cut it out academically would have been weeded out during the pre-reqs,...

  21. Waukesha County Technical College for nursing program?

    tfleuter replied to ashlynn1291's topic in General Nursing

    A 50% drop out rate is not very encouraging. Any reason why this is? I have a friend who is looking into different schools in this area and is considering WCTC. I thought it sounded like a...

  22. H1N1 Vax -- Did your school make provision to offer this to you?

    tfleuter replied to DolceVita's topic in General Students

    Tell that to my local county health department. We (nursing students) have been informed that we will not be given priority status over anyone else who shows up to recieve the

  23. H1N1 Vax -- Did your school make provision to offer this to you?

    tfleuter replied to DolceVita's topic in General Students

    My school is requiring students to get the vaccine since our clinical sites are requesting it. Unfortunately our program is not offering this to us and I can only assume it is because they can't get...

  24. What would you do?

    tfleuter replied to cnafromaz's topic in General Nursing

    It does sound like a rigorous program, so hopefully anyone considering the school will take that into consideration. Most certainly could not be done with a full time job (I dare say part time...

  25. Failure rate of nursing schools.

    tfleuter replied to merrywhiterose's topic in General Students

    I am outright floored by some of these experiences you guys have shared! I'm only in my 3rd week of nursing school, so my experience is minimal, but so far I am pretty happy with my program. The...
