    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

    Amen to that. Our 1st semester clinicals were in a nursing home and we were basically CNA's for that rotation. They are way over worked and underpaid. I couldn't do it. In the hospital it wasn't as...

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

    I should say I am in med school since everyone and their mama now comes to me for medical advice knowing I am in nursing school

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

    I am not a nurse *just wanted to clear that up cause it seemed like you thought I was* I am a 3rd semester student. But anyway, I think you will be helpful. You already show that just in this post. I...

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

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

    Someone said that there is to much negativity on this board so I am bumping this thread up. I got a 90% on my exam I had to take yesterday for my Psych class. Got an 88% on the first one. Both B's but...

    Do you cry a lot in nursing school?

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

    I have cried. Well more like got watery eyes and teared up a lot, while listening to stories at our death seminar and when going over our child abuse lecture. Other than that I haven't cried at...

    Clients? Are they no longer patients?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to bassadict69's topic in General Students

    Our nursing school my first semester was told to start using clients, old habits die hard though and the instructors still say patients. I always say patient too. I don't like the term

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

    Congrats on the 94%! Waiting on the student loans and Fin. aide is killing me. My husbands work has been slow (self employed) and our school switched to some system that was supposed to have us get...

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

    I feel bad for those that don't make it. Well most of those that haven't made it in our program so far. I know they have tried studying and stuff and just can't seem to grasp the information, or the...

    Not used to getting B's...

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

    Another factor in having to accept B's or C's is a lot of programs have a different grading scale for their nursing program. Like in our program a C is 77%-84% you need a 94% to get an A. So today I...

    Not used to getting B's...

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

    Why should they be thankful for getting a B. They earned it. It wasn't just handed to them. If others would die for a B they should get a B. She has a right to vent and be frustrated, she knows in the...

    How much time do you *really*spend studying?

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

    Actually their approach and full reply was different than yours, they weren't passive-aggressive with it (much like the passive aggressiveness of your last part of this reply) That said you are...

    How much time do you *really*spend studying?

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

    Our program expects students to show up, so they use the motto that the book is to supplement the lectures or used to further delve into explaining things you might not understand. We are in class a...

    Anyone doing better in NS than prereqs etc.?

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

    I am doing better in NS than I did in Pre Reqs. I prefer the tests in nursing school better than I had in my pre reqs, I usually really enjoy clinicals and do well in them. Overall it's been great so...

    I have a family member and her daughter is going into dental hygiene school. She is fresh out of HS and did no college courses through HS. So anyway, her mom is telling me about her program and how in...

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

    Not eating anyone, I am always uplifting to people I know are going into nursing school. I get excited for them. Or even new nursing students. I remember how excited I was so I like to encourage them....

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

    I wasn't even talking about people on this board. I am talking about people in real life misrepresenting themselves and than back tracking when called out on it. If I were taking pre reqs for law...

    How much time do you *really*spend studying?

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

    You can understand the material and comprehend it and still study the night before and do well without studying for hours every day. I learn the material in class. I go over notes the night before my...

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

    Oh yes I love the posts about how nursing school is from non nursing students. I imagine it's much how the nurses feel when they are blasted by students, although at least in clinicals and stuff we...

    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 don't see where it could be considered a nursing program. A CNA's scope of practice is not anywhere near a nurses scope of practice. CNA's are valuable and have their place, but the training classes...

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

    My school is a community college, not a specific nursing school. I think that is what happened with our status at school to. You can't register for any nursing classes until you are officially...

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

    Our school is changing the process but so far it's been a wait list and they were only taking 25 students a semester. So I was on the waitlist for 3.5 years before my number was called. Now they have...

    studying for med-surg

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to >--stethoscope--o's topic in General Students

    I really like how our Med/Surge teacher teaches the class. He doesn't use power points or handouts, he teaches it all like in a caremap style. He uses the white board and do like the disease in the...
