    Moral/Ethical Advice

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

    If I saw someone cheating at least I would have some ground to stand on. It might still not be able to be proven, but at least I know what I saw and would report it. Going off the OP scenario this is...

    First I don't need to enlighten everyone because YOU misunderstood my post. Second I am not even going to get into this with you. I gave my opinion on the situation and I addressed your passive...

    I don't pick and chose depending on how it benefits me either. That's not what I said or implied, but thanks for twisting my words

    Moral/Ethical Advice

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

    No I don't think you should only do the right thing if someone will for sure be punished. I do think one should pick their battles, given all the info I have seen from the OP (which their are 3 sides...

    My post was in regards to this comment. " If you became a nurse because you “love helping people” and the money doesn’t matter, then quit your job, and volunteer at a health clinic serving our...

    Moral/Ethical Advice

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

    In the schools eyes it will matter that this poster didn't see anything. They will not punish this student without any sort of proof. There will be no way to prove that the student isn't writing her...

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

    Ok just to play devils advocate here. You may love helping people but you still need to provide. I always knew I wanted to work in a field that involved "helping people", nursing wasn't my first...

    Moral/Ethical Advice

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

    I disagree, if you don't see someone cheating how do you even know they are cheating. If I am in class an allegedly person A is cheating. I don't see it at all. But person B comes to me gossiping that...

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

    I am really curious about why it keeps being said that "most people look down on nurses" I have never seen this. Weren't nurses just rated #1 again in the most trusted profession? Do you get people...

    Moral/Ethical Advice

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

    You didn't actually see her cheat or see someone doing her paper for her. It's pretty much hearsay. With that I wouldn't go and say anything because it isn't going to look good on you. There is no...

    Ashamed of nursing school

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

    I am not ashamed at all of being in nursing school. It's a hard program to get into, it has a strict grading scale, and I find nurses to be well respected, (for the most part) I am proud of my...

    Why Do Nursing Instructors Rely So Heavily On PowerPoints To Teach?

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

    I know this method helped me and was pretty close to how my Med/Surg teacher did things with his "care map" method. He would discuss it and write it and have active conversations with us going on...

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

    We had drug and background tests we had to pay for and we agree to be randomly tested at anytime at our expense after the initial one. If you are on prescriptions and are worried than bring proof to...

    Why Do Nursing Instructors Rely So Heavily On PowerPoints To Teach?

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

    I have only had one teacher not use powerpoints and I loved his lectures. He was our Med/Surg teacher, (just retired after this semester) He taught like a Care Map. He would do it all on the white...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Hopeful3's topic in General Students

    Only a couple of ours have been, and I am not sure if they received gifts as I wasn't in their clinical group. But if I had been and it had been a great clinical experience, I would have helped with a...

    Not sure how a Photo is going to identify Ethnicity. No one looking at me would be able to identify my ethnicity without asking. In some people it might "seem" a little more obvious but it often is...

    We are allowed to miss 2-3 (depending on the semester) clinical days. The days have to be made up, but you can miss that many and it doesn't matter the reason you are missing. The school had the make...

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

    I just finished 3rd semester and so far 2nd semester has been the hardest, It wasn't the content so much as it was just a completely different pace than 1st and 3rd. The tests seem to change for 3rd...
