    For Fun--Kudos 2 Me...The "toot your own horn" thread

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to tammy1974's topic in General Students

    Just saw I got a 93% on my Pharm exam I had on

    Nursing School-- Your biggest challenge ?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Ambitious-Girl's topic in General Students

    Sleep is probably the most important thing you need. If you get good sleep you will be better focused, retain more in lecture, and do better on exams. An extra hour of sleep will benefit you more than...

    Age of graduates coming out of Nursing School!?

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

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

    Ours would notice. Mask or not I don't think anyone should be going to the hospital knowingly having the flu. It goes beyond just risking the patients physical health, but your own, and how can you be...

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

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

    That was actually mentioned, we mentioned like how would they know, there were s/s that the instructors were to note. You didn't have to even be confirmed flu, if you had the high temp above(I don't...

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

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

    I completely agree, that was our rationale too, it was school policy to stay out for a week. For those that had clinical once a week (only first semester students) it wasn't a big deal because you...

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

    That is terrible. I would have offered you a ride whether I was carpooling or not. Most of the students in my class are willing to help another if they are going through a rough time. With the...

    I'm so sick of the "fluff"

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to paramed1's topic in General Students

    Although I don't really like the fluff work, I can't really complain, from what I read on this board, we have a pretty minimal amount of it. I am in my third semester and about done with another class...

    I'm so sick of the "fluff"

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to paramed1's topic in General Students

    We learn all this in my program. We take 2 pharm classes and a patho class. Clinicals are great. I learned more "real world" nursing on my first night of Med/surge clinicals than I had the semester...

    It's just a vent thread. People don't have to justify their vents, they just want to vent. You might feel it's wrong to get frustrated for asking questions, others might say it's none of your business...

    Not Getting "A's"

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to *4!#6's topic in General Students

    What are the cut off's in your school? A is 93 or 94% in my school and B is 85%. I think most the A students in my program have finally accepted that a B is ok too, so many have come so close to A's....

    I have a car and I surely don't want to drive an hour to clinicals. We don't get to chose but we get to put in a request. Basically a sheet is passed out and it is said which would you prefer, this...

    Hostile nursing staff at clinical

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to cmw6v8's topic in General Students

    Sometimes you get crappy nurses. Hopefully not all the times. When you do you just do your best to stay respectful and kind (not like overly cheesy fake kind of kind) and stay out of their way. If you...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Livy022's topic in General Students

    That's interesting. I have heard of it for a BSN program, but not a 2 year program. Like I said, I couldn't imaging taking all those on top of our nursing program at the same time, our 2 year of...

    Why does my BSN program require health insurance?

    If you can't get help, go to daveramsey.com he has a link to go to and get INS. quotes and he will only endorse reputable people. When I was pricing it out I found some good plans for like 117 a month...

    A little off topic but it is about passing out. LOL, When I was doing my maternity rotation I was in the room with a mom getting an epidural. The dad said he wanted to be in the room and he was good...

    It's pretty much a vent thread, you know, so people don't go all nutso on their fellow students at school. Because it's a vent thread you aren't going to see a lot of positive

    I was thinking the same thing as the other poster but when you put it this way, it's the same at my school because we don't have + or -, you either get an A, B or C and to get an A you need a 93 or...
