    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

    At the end of the day, we don't really care, it is just something we are discussing.You know, those that don't care don't have to join in the conversation. I am starting to think you are just going...

    can you make it all the way through nursing school on dishonesty alone?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Desire2Learn's topic in General Students

    I was just being a smartaleck. I do agree with you on the kids though. I am a pretty strict mom to my kids. I am lenient on some things (music, movies, stuff like that) but I am strict when it comes...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Desire2Learn's topic in General Students

    Seriously? Someone should be burned alive literally because they cheated. :| So glad this isn't a law, I would have hated to be burned at the stake as a kid because I copied someones

    can you make it all the way through nursing school on dishonesty alone?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Desire2Learn's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't read to much into it. Kids do stupid stuff. It doesn't mean that is who they will always be or who they are. Look at teenagers. How many teens seem to lose their dang minds, than turn out...

    can you make it all the way through nursing school on dishonesty alone?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Desire2Learn's topic in General Students

    Well I believe people can change. I have seen it first hand and experienced it first hand. I never cheated on exams or tests, I would copy homework though, I would forge parents signatures on...

    How do you stay sexy in nursing school

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in General Students

    This thread reminds me of something that happened yesterday. We were going to be in class all day so I decided to be comfy. I usually wear jeans. But yesterday I had on baggy sweatpants. They were...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Desire2Learn's topic in General Students

    I don't agree with the once a cheater always a cheater, or like even when people say once a thief always a thief. I was bad in school, Elementary, JHS and HS. I am sure I cheated and I used to steal....

    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

    I just said that until you are accepted into a nursing program, I wouldn't consider someone a nursing student. Again, this is just my opinion. Others don't have to agree. If you are in a program...

    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

    I still think it's dishonest and misrepresenting yourself. But that's just me. IMO until you have been accepted into a nursing program, you're not a nursing student. If you are doing pre reqs so you...

    Confusing homework question- what's your input?

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

    Thanks, I was just wondering because I have been asked many times if I have been sexually active. Almost routine anytime I go in for any kind of yearly and stuff. Also anytime I was having any...

    Confusing homework question- what's your input?

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

    So what do you ask after you ask for the LMP since someone can still have periods when pregnant or not have periods when not pregnant? I mean the question wouldn't simply be left at that right? (...

    Anyone okay with just being a nurse?

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

    Well that's the thing, some areas they are being phased out. Others, not so much. It's also not that they can't get a job here either, it's that they can't get a job in what is considered acute care...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Students

    I am in psych right now but my clinical rotation isn't for 2 weeks. From what they are saying it will primarily be observation also. We go for 4 10.5 hour days in a row. W/Th/F and Sat. I am evenings...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to ErinRN2B's topic in General Students

    I swear nursing school just messes with your head. I have said on these boards that I do better in nursing school than pre reqs. I have never been a straight A student. It wasn't because I wasn't...

    New Student Rant!!!

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to mater44's topic in General Students

    Yep you have to learn to be very flexible. We have had so many changes I pretty much take my schedule one day at a time

    New Student Rant!!!

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to mater44's topic in General Students

    See I wouldn't want this done. We have 4 hospitals we can be placed out. Just looking at distance from our school, one is about 45-50 mins from our school, 2 are about 15-20 mins from our school and...

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

    I wasn't aware of that because I have heard people say pre law before, so I just assumed it was stuff you had to take before law school. But good to know. I still have to laugh at it being too time...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to ErinRN2B's topic in General Students

    That is how I feel at times. Everyone says C=degrees and in the end it doesn't matter. Well it does to go into the higher education degrees, so although when I am working in the hospital it might not...

    When Do You Choose Your Nursing Specialty

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Enlightenedchild's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will say that keep an open mind. Once you are in your clinicals and going to different areas you will find that your mind might change a lot. I went in with tunnel vision of exactly what I wanted to...

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

    Pre-Nursing seems pretty straight forward to me and is easy to say and not time consuming. I had no problems using the term Pre-Nursing before I was in nursing school. If someone says they're Pre-law...
