    first day of summer break...and it sucks!!!!!!!!!!!

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to sophie<3's topic in General Students

    OK a little off topic but I am completely shocked your school only requires a 63% to pass. Our nursing school is a lot stricter then the normal school grade scale but even our normal school grading...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to livenlearn08's topic in General Students

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Lissacheer87's topic in General Nursing

    I am meaning sometimes what we are taught in school is contradictory to the way things run in the real world. The real world will completely go against what we are taught. Not everything, but I have...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Misslady113's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's doable, when I was doing Pre Reqs my school had quarters not semesters and I often took 17 credits per quarter, I took Chem and A&P 1 in the same quarter (with another one) and...

    was i wrong?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Lissacheer87's topic in General Nursing

    The student was probably told that x amount of Ml's is ok and that is to high. She probably just needed some real world information if that really was fine, not what the text book said. But I don't...

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

    I agree. I have had people act all "mature" on the forum and then send me a vulgar email, I just think, hmmmm couldn't you post this on the board so everyone can really see how you are.
