    Please help me...Do you think I'll get kicked out of nursing school?

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

    HAHAHA I thought of something that might make her smile. Instead of writing an apology. make a quick care plan. Give yourself a mental disorder (not serious but like mild anxiety or stress) R/T being...

    So you sick yet?

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

    I never used to get sick until I had kids. Than it's like my immune system took a dive. Before than I could count on one hand all the times I remember being sick in my life. Well wasn't a long life. I...

    Should I even be here taking up space?

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

    Take into consideration where your clinicals are at as well. I hated my first semester clinicals. It was not my cup of tea. But second semester clinicals I LOVED!!! I feel I learned more in my first...

    If you have only been in nursing school for a week, I would give it a little more time before you decide to throw into the

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

    I am a little confused. You have done well without having to put in any effort. What's the problem? Why would you need to study for hours or rewrite your notes 2-3 times if you don't need

    Soooo... Are you at a disadvantage at NS? I think I am.

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Students

    My little community college has an emergency fund. I think it's for the nursing dept. actually. You get it and you have 30 days to pay it back. Are you getting student

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

    I don't see Mania in there at all. Suicide and depression are 2 I could see but not mania. People with Bi-Polar that usually have the mania and than the severe lows, in the mania phase they are...

    You're human. I teared up in class during our Death seminar, and abuse seminar. We talked about pregnant woman who were abused (I was one) and child abuse (me again) I just couldn't hold back and the...

    Anyone okay with just being a nurse?

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

    Here a lot of the LPN's have been phased out. Pretty much the LPN's here can only work in the Jail, Nursing home, or a few of the clinics. None of that do the hospitals consider acute care experience....

    How much time do you *really*spend studying?

    Thank you, I couldn't have said it more perfectly. I never claimed to be some super genius. I don't have a 4.0 I don't even get majority A's. I have gotten some C's and I have gotten some A's. I...

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

    Pretty much. It seems if people don't seem to have a hard time in nursing school, spend all their free time studying, and give up any personal life, than their program must be easy. Couldn't possibly...

    Should I be concerned/

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

    I would be a little worried. Ok maybe more than a little worried. It doesn't sound like the students are being prepared very well. It might just mean you need to take a lot of initiative on your...

    We were told Policy is Policy. Last fall when I started nursing school was when the big H1N1 outbreak was going on. For us 1st semester students it wasn't too bad because we only had clinicals 1 day a...

    Thanks, you too! :) On a side for the OP, I just thought about the Pharm class. I did spend more time studying that one, well I met up with a friend and we spent a couple hours a week on that class...

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

    Well I guess my program is just super easy. I am sure the 1/3 of the class we lost in the first 1.5 semesters probably thought so. That or I am just truly awesome or "lucky". Obviously there has to...

    Well I was born with a lot of awesomeness but I would say that ours is pretty close to the 70:30 as well. They have a lot of "required reading" that they pass out. They go over the general concepts...

    This isn't necessarily true. I don't study 4 hrs a week and my program is not easy by any means and is at a very fast speed. People are just different. We lost 13-14 people by the second half of our...

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

    I wouldn't use the wording "just a nurse" it seems to downplay the role of a nurse. But I don't really have any desire to get on the management side of it. I might eventually want to get into being a...
