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

    I just can not imagine studying for hours upon hours a day. Especially after having lecture all day. Than again I was one of those kids that didn't believe in homework, figured I was in class all day...

    Does anyone else feel like their program starts off slow?

    HELP!! My husband is killing my study schedule...

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

    She didn't ask for a lecture on when others feel it is appropriate for her to go to school, or what is best for her children. But going off your theory, a lot of kindergartens are half day, and if she...

    Do you ever get the feeling your professors are trying to weed you out?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to mell260's topic in General Students

    Yep you just choose not to be one of the ones that are "weeded" out. I wasn't impressed to find out that a set ratio are supposed to fail but I will just need to make sure it isn't me failing. Our...

    Please help me...Do you think I'll get kicked out of nursing school?

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

    My take on this, I call my friends and even my daughter "sistah" all the time. Like I might say to my friend "get on it sistah" That said, it seems completely inappropriate to talk to an instructor...

    Hardest class

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Getreal2011's topic in General Students

    This is hard to say because everyone is so different. I would say med/surge is the class I struggled in the most, but it wasn't because it was "hard" it was my own fault. I have advanced med/surge 1...

    I agree the marriage comes first, that said, a spouse should also be supportive of their spouse. Every marriage and situation is different though and it's hard to give good advice when we don't know...
