    Do you call your teachers by their 1st names?

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

    Our instructors insist on us using their first name, so I do, but it makes me uncomfortable and I have a hard time with it. I was always raised to call people Mr. and Ms. in any kind of authoritative...

    Do you guys see a lot of people saying they are nursing students....

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

    Yea I bought a scope and BP kit when I was in my pre reqs too because I was excited and wanted to start practicing on taking a BP. To me that is different than buying a kit sold by the school that is...

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

    Not so much changed my perspective as just taking into consideration that every nursing program might do something different and the stuff with the lab kits might not happen with other programs. I can...

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

    I don't think it's necessarily harder than any other degree. I had a harder time in some of my pre reqs than I do the actual program. I just think it's a lot different. How things are done, the way...

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

    No it's not a matter of only getting it if she agrees with me. It's a matter of not getting it because she isn't in my program to know the way things work to see the

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

    Thank you, it seems like the ones that are coming off "mean" or with an "attitude" are the very ones accusing others of doing it. I never felt bad about being a pre-nursing student either. People...

    Right, my gosh. I can't believe how many people are getting upset and being so rude about this and having to call names. My very first post doesn't even say anything bad about a pre nursing student. I...

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

    That's not how it works in our program. They don't just make us more. Also not all our classes start at the beginning of the semester. We can't buy the kits online, we can only buy our lab kits in the...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to mariemac89LPN's topic in General Nursing

    You shouldn't put your own dreams and goals on hold for what others might think. Maybe some people won't take you serious, maybe they all will. At the end of the day it doesn't matter. Do your job and...

    Ethical Dilemma re: Tests

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

    So on the lines of what is considered ethical or not, I am curious how you all feel about this situation. Student A is in 2nd, 3rd or 4th semester of their nursing program. They run into a group of...
