    Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

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

    I would love to say, if you aren't IN nursing school and haven't been IN nursing school (no matter the type of program they went through), stop acting like you know what nursing school is like. It's...

    So do you think this is fair?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to sneakymom2011's topic in General Students

    Nursing school has taught me you need to be flexible. We have to make up ANY clinical time Lab/Seminar or clinicals we miss. If we don't we don't pass. You are allowed to miss up to X amount of days...

    how to report a teacher to the BRN?

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

    I am glad you got some resolution. Having someone put their hands on you INAPPROPRIATELY can be extremely hard to handle and feel violating and it's something someone needs to experience to understand...

    Dear future nursing students,

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to BeeFree963's topic in General Students

    I had not read them until June and read them 7 times over the summer and then once on winter break. I started the True Blood series the day before second semester, there are 9 books in that series, I...

    Volunteering?

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

    I haven't ever done any volunteer work. Only because I couldn't afford childcare to go volunteer. If you could take your kids I would be all for it. I am a current nursing student. I have this summer...

    What do you hate the most about nursing school?

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

    There is nothing I hate, I am for the most part very happy with my program and instructors and enjoy school. I do get frustrated with some things though, like the journaling. If it was our free...

    Dear future nursing students,

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to BeeFree963's topic in General Students

    I guess I should have finished reading, you summed it up well. I know in most really competitive programs you have to have a high GPA to get in anyway, my school in WA if you didn't have a 3.8 you...

    Dear future nursing students,

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to BeeFree963's topic in General Students

    Just to warn you, nursing school is full of people upset that they were 4.0 students before nursing school without ever having to try and now they are struggling to stay afloat and also adapt to the...

    how to report a teacher to the BRN?

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

    Actually she did mention the instructor lifting something, I quoted it above. Absolutely we should draw the lines, I draw the line at someone grabbing at me INAPPROPRIATELY (as in a sexual matter not...

    how to report a teacher to the BRN?

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

    This was posted from the OP, IF we take this as fact, that is what I have spoke on. It is NEVER ok for someone to put their hands on someone else without their permission unless they have the...

    Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

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

    Ok not directed AT you, but you just reminded me of one. Please don't call me sweetie, honey, sugar and whatever else, ESPECIALLY when you are much YOUNGER then me. I can tolerate and not take offense...

    Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

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

    This is so important in MANY facets of nursing. I am thinking about volunteering at planned parenthood and I have had some friends ream me up and down. I can volunteer and put my feelings aside to...

    Dear future nursing students,

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to BeeFree963's topic in General Students

    I don't work but I do have 4 kids and am a single parent half the year (husband works out of state from Nov to May) so that has to give me points for something

    how to report a teacher to the BRN?

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

    I agree with this, proper channels should be followed. If I ever have any problems I first bring them up with the person at hand, if that doesn't go anywhere then I go from there. Students in my...

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

    "And some STUDENTS act like they are still IN high school, violating very simple rules that have been laid out for them. And we expect them to follow much more complicated rules in just a few months...

    how to report a teacher to the BRN?

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

    Exactly. I don't understand why this concept is hard to understand. Their were other (non physical) ways this should have been handled. If it did happen as the poster said it

    how to report a teacher to the BRN?

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

    No I think your words were maybe it was illegal but if a student is going to act like a child they deserve to be treated like one;) That would be justifying the actions. What does it matter that I...

    how to report a teacher to the BRN?

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

    No, some people are justifying WHY IT'S OK for what the instructor did. I have stated and I stand by what I have stated. It was not right. That is where I left my opinion. Like I said, it's very black...

    are you tougher on foreign nurses?

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

    I agree, I have worked with many foreign people (not nursing) and they had a extremely good work ethic. Shoot even a lot of the foreign students I have seen have had a really good school

    how to report a teacher to the BRN?

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

    I haven't given any advice as to the ACTION the student should take. I have only stated that if the teacher did infact do this, she was out of line and violated the students rights as a person....

    how to report a teacher to the BRN?

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

    This post quoted wrong because the other person quoted wrong, so I just wanted to clairfy it wasn't my post you were responding to, what you are saying is absolutely correct

    how to report a teacher to the BRN?

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

    Lifting up a persons shirt and patting them down without their permission by someone who does not have authority to do so is along the same lines. In the case of the HS students, she wasn't made to be...

    how to report a teacher to the BRN?

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

    When you have your rights violated and been manhandled illegally maybe it will make sense to you, or maybe it has happened and it has skewed your perception. Sendana was right in what they said and it...
