    The "Curve"

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to New 2 iceeYouRN's topic in General Students

    Our grade scale is higher then the normal scale and higher then that one, we are 94-100 A 85-93 B 77-84 C I thought that was bad until I have seen some kids say their pass is an 80% and even saw one...

    The "Curve"

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to New 2 iceeYouRN's topic in General Students

    Apparently our last year pass rate was 100% and my school doesn't do the HESI or any other of these standardized tests that if you don't pass you won't move on. We have some NLN testing tomorrow that...

    family is too grossed out to hear about my clinicals

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

    I only have my husband to tell in person and he won't let me tell him, so I have to tell my nursing school friends or my mom on the phone. I don't want to hear about colostomy's either though, ugh I...

    The "Curve"

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to New 2 iceeYouRN's topic in General Students

    I have no idea because my teachers don't curve, they are in the much needed motto of "Not everyone is a winner." We seem to be losing that and it's a shame. We are creating a society of coddling and...

    Random vents

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

    Thank you, my group of friends in NS are the same way, they about died when I told them about the petition. Once in a while things aren't right, maybe a question isn't worded in accordance with what...

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

    Yep been hearing that a lot lately because it's nearing the end of the semester and people are freaked out because they have a very small leeway to be able to pass so the bashing is really starting to...

    what meds do you routinely crush?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to afteralltheseyears's topic in Correctional

    That is what they did at the jail I shadowed, the pills went into a plastic pouch and crused then put in the little cup with water, the inmates usually also had their own cups of water and could add...

    what meds do you routinely crush?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to afteralltheseyears's topic in Correctional

    I just shadowed the med pass at the local jail last week and they crush any psych meds and narcotics, they try to avoid giving narcotics. The med nurse said basically the KOP meds end up being the...

    Random vents

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

    My most recent vent, students that can't take responsibility on not passing a test and blaming the instructor for it when most everyone else passed. Shoot I did bad on that same test and know it was...

    Hi everyone, new nursing student here..just a few questions

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

    I haven't found fundamentals (your foundations) to be hard. I am almost done with the semester and i have probably spent a total of 5 hours studying for that class this semester. We only have our...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to L&DWannaB's topic in General Students

    That is wonderful you were there for her, I handled my first death about a month ago and it had a huge impact on me, we had our end of life lecture the week after, I wish we would have had it

    Being a Nurse for a Killer

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Stickyrunner325's topic in General Nursing

    Actually I think it does. It seems a bit hypocritical to be hammering another person about being someones judge or jury all while judging THAT person. (their is a pot kettle saying coming to mind)...

    Being a Nurse for a Killer

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Stickyrunner325's topic in General Nursing

    This was completely uncalled for. The OP asked for opinions about dealing with a certain type of situation, they don't deserve to be ridiculed for asking a question, they didn't do anything wrong or...

    Hi everyone, new nursing student here..just a few questions

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

    A&P was a pre req for us. I would see if they offer stats online and take it, that way you are not waisiting money for a class you don't need. I am currently taking Fundamentals which is 8...

    only in nursing school

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

    Only in nursing school can you walk into a room and hear some pretty perverse things and know they are not perverse. IE: I walk into lab today and I hear "Can we share your lube" "Does anyone have...
