    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to EILEEN456's topic in General Students

    Sim Labs, Skills test out, Patient Research and Clinicals we had to wear our scrubs with school logo embroidered on the left breast area. Psych clinicals we wore regular clothes, but no logos or blue...

    Just wondering how is the second year of RN school?

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

    The tests have gotten a lot harder in my program as well. But I don't know, it still seems to be flowing much smoother. First half of this semester was Psych, I breezed through that with little...

    Just wondering how is the second year of RN school?

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

    So far I have found the second year (I am in third semester and done in 5 weeks) to go a lot smoother than second did. Some people though haven't thought so. I think it's all pretty

    how would you answer this question

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to pinkfluffybunny's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I wouldn't say anything was poorly written. It was just a typo. B would make sense if it said Antibodies. Had it been my test I would have went up and verified with the teacher that is what was...

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

    In my program we had to do a med pass in skills lab, when we passed that than we were checked off to pass meds in the hospital. In the hospital we couldn't pass meds without our Co-nurse or clinical...

    Get the question right and lose a point!!

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to cutenurse2b_1's topic in General Students

    We had something similar happen. Solution, the teachers added a question to a future test so the point was still there. See if they will do that. I have seen MANY students not pass by 1 point. So I...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

    The only program for a BSN I have seen at a Community College was my old school in WA. It wasn't the school itself though that did the BSN program. Old Dominion partnered with our college to offer the...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

    So you don't already have A&P 1&2 and Micro? When you said your pre reqs won't transfer, those are the Pre Reqs I was assuming you meant. Most programs require these classes, I don't know of...

    For those of you in NS

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

    I personally would just wait it out. I got accepted into a school 1:30 minutes away, all my credits would have transferred. My current school I had a year to wait to get in and the school is 7 minutes...

    Rant about ungrateful, demanding patients

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to KSU-SN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have been a patient many many times, anytime I needed help with anything self care it was mortifying to me. It was embarrassing and I hated to depend on people. It is so hard for me to imagine and...

    Things you would LOVE to say to your nursing instructors...

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

    Stop trying to be "buddies" and well liked and focus more on being a good instructor. I know you are new to our school, but you are not new to teaching. There are no

    Crossed the line... or expected behavior?

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

    The radiologist might have felt it was inappropriate to "Scold" the student in front of the patient, might also felt it wasn't their place to say something to the student since it was a nursing...

    Crossed the line... or expected behavior?

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

    I'm sorry but a few people keep posting as if the Pt. had no idea what was going on. I have a very hard time believing a procedure like this was preformed with no explanation of the procedure or...

    To walk with cap and gown or not?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to jr3t's topic in General Students

    I only planned on doing pinning. I am doing an associates program. Plan to bridge to BSN and maybe MSN. So didn't want to have 3 cap and gown ceremonies to walk in. Plus that part isn't a big deal to...

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

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to CrazziiRN913's topic in General Students

    I didn't like my clinicals at the LTC facility which was our first clinical rotation. But the first night at the hospital in what was technically clinical orientation/observation day, I did so much...

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

    You can redo one class once in ours too, although everyone that failed med/surge beginning of second semester hasn't gotten back in yet cause there is "no room". But that said, clinicals at least at...

    Oh ok, I know there were some front range students on here so I wasn't sure if you were one of them. Even the Front Range campuses vary a lot. We have a LPN to RN bridge student that just joined us...

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

    Are you Front Range? I didn't realize that. We actually lost close to the same amount first semester as Med/Surge the first half of second semester. We didn't lose anyone for maternity and Peds. We...
