   Nellifuturenurse2010 replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

   I am somewhat dealing with the same circumstances. Sometimes I just dont know what to say to patients. I know what I am doing, but the articulation is just not there. So I am in the same boat as you: trying to go from somewhat shy/ soft spoken to out...

   Nellifuturenurse2010 replied to Cuety83's topic in General Students

   I'm sure you did fine. What do you want to get on it? I looked over the manual for like 10 minutes before taking the test and got a 91...but the lady told me I should aim higher if I wanted to get into a program..Luckily we can take it as many times ...

5. To pass or To be the highest?

   Nellifuturenurse2010 replied to psySins's topic in General Students

   why are you looking at it as a competition??? I don't care if you have straight A's...it does not mean you will be a better nurse than someone who got B's and C's. In my class we never know what EVERYONE has gotten on the test, nor do we all care...a...

6. Why does nursing school cram the material?

   Nellifuturenurse2010 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

   The only courses I feel are crammed are pharm and patho...and maybe the transitions in clinicals... I know in our program the transition into the hospital from skills is horrible...the teachers complain that we aren't ready and the students complain ...

7. Nursing School Students...Is It Hard?

   Nellifuturenurse2010 replied to HappyMeNow's topic in General Students

   As far as details in how it may be difficult. You have to learn A LOT in a short amount of time....A LOT of memorizing and critical thinking. Tests, quizes, papers, care plans...all can be due around the same time depending how your classes flow. T...

    Nellifuturenurse2010 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Nellifuturenurse2010 replied to H-town's topic in General Students

    Wow thats crazy. My school you have to get a 73% to pass and people were complaining lol. The only thing I hate about my school is the +/- system. Im used to flat As, Bs, and Cs. But I feel bad for those that have to get higher than 80% to pass their...

12. how expensive is california? CAN A NURSE MANAGE WITH HER WAGE??

    Nellifuturenurse2010 replied to curlysin's topic in California

    I don't agree with this... The bay area is NOT THAT expensive to say a nurse can only live OK out here if he/she rents. Let's not over dramatize it. My mom will be making less than me after I graduate and get a job and she is definitely living comfor...

    Nellifuturenurse2010 replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Students

    wow, that sounds a little old fashioned. Talk to you instructor to see if that is outdated. I would be mad if I had to wear a skirt. I don't really like to wear skirts.

14. Nursing School Students...Is It Hard?

    Nellifuturenurse2010 replied to HappyMeNow's topic in General Students

    It is as hard as you make it. It is definitely going to be somewhat difficult, but depending on how you pace yourself and manage your time and the effort you put forth will determine how hard it will be overall. I advise at the beginning of the cours...
