    Cleared!

  4. C's in Nursing

    QuarterLife88 replied to SSNS07's topic in General Students

    I've been in my program almost 2 years now, and I've just finally felt like I have cracked the way NCLEX questions are meant to be read and answered. I'm mostly a B+ student, but in my last class I...

  5. I find it depressing...

    QuarterLife88 posted a topic in General Students

    that a lot of times in my clinical groups, the women around me will say how much they love having a male in the group because women are so "catty" and unfunny, or some such other crap (when plenty of...

  6. I find it depressing...

    QuarterLife88 replied to QuarterLife88's topic in General Students

    Rubato, I too think it's great that everyone is branching out and ignoring the traditional gender roles. I do love it when I see male nurses and female doctors. I don't think we need to act like men,...

  7. OCC - for Fall 2012 or Jan 2012 prospective students!

    QuarterLife88 replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I sitll have a final on Mon. Had my Peds final back in Oct. Next up: Med Surg

  8. So...uh...when will I feel like I know what the heck I'm doing?

    QuarterLife88 replied to Skips's topic in General Students

    Probably not until at least 5 years on the job has passed. Feeling like an idiot is part of being a

  9. is 25-30 too late to want to pursue a nursing degree?

    QuarterLife88 replied to mee9mee9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most people in my nursing school are 30-40 years of age. Then again, it's a community college, so that probably makes a difference in the demographics. If you go to a university, I'm sure the ages...

  10. Group projects

    QuarterLife88 replied to NICU:)'s topic in General Students

    Perfect. Only I would make the section "group skills" a little bit smaller, and "how much I hate other people" a lot larger. My last group project cost me an A- in the class because the overconfident...

  11. Am I burnt out? What should I do?

    QuarterLife88 replied to NOLAgirl2's topic in General Students

    I graduate in approx 6 months. I am so burnt out. It takes all of my energy to just get in my car and drive to class/clinical. Guilt/Fear of failure keep me in line vs. excitement. Some days I cry...

  12. Normal nursing grades..

    QuarterLife88 replied to katestudentnurse's topic in General Students

    Fine, that's great. But in general I think people need to chill out. Nursing school is hard enough without splitting your hairs over an

  13. Normal nursing grades..

    QuarterLife88 replied to katestudentnurse's topic in General Students

    Shoot, at this point I'm just happy to pass the dang class and put it behind me. I've only made one or two A's in nursing school, the rest have been B+'s. I passed, it's over. I'll never understand...

  14. At the end of my rope...hate nursing.

    QuarterLife88 replied to Brittany2206's topic in General Students

    Research would probably be a good bet. I've thought about that (if you were still talking to me!) I do sometimes wonder if perhaps maybe actual nursing is better than clinical. After all, we can't...

  15. At the end of my rope...hate nursing.

    QuarterLife88 replied to Brittany2206's topic in General Students

    Actually, shockingly for me, I did LOVE my OB rotation. It never made me want to quit, I enjoyed my patients, my instructor, the nurses, and even the busy work, for once, didn't make me cringe so...

  16. At the end of my rope...hate nursing.

    QuarterLife88 replied to Brittany2206's topic in General Students

    Hi wish_me_luck, I probably won't work as a nurse, at least not for very long, I'm only finishing for the degree and the education itself at this point. A good education can never hurt even if it...

  17. At the end of my rope...hate nursing.

    QuarterLife88 replied to Brittany2206's topic in General Students

    I don't like it either; I find it a bit soul-sucking and depressing (taking care of others while ignoring our needs and loved ones, no thanks!) My big realization happened one day in clinical when my...

  18. Why am I doing this?

    QuarterLife88 replied to ericaej's topic in General Students

    I felt the same as you last year when I was a first semester first year. I wish I could tell you that it got better for me and that I changed my mind and fell back in love with nursing, but I will not...

  19. Useless work?

    QuarterLife88 replied to armygirlabn's topic in General Students

    Honestly I don't think it would be. I spend FAR more time doing/agonizing over assignments (for no grade, just a maintenance to a course grade) than studying because they take an astronomical amount...

  20. Useless work?

    QuarterLife88 replied to armygirlabn's topic in General Students

    LOL, only some? I can understand doing a full care plan occasionally, but doing them every single semester, is tedious. They are long and annoying, and tiresome, and apparently don't even reflect...

  21. Quitting Nursing School

    QuarterLife88 replied to Hargrove86's topic in General Students

    I would quit if I were you. No education is worth an ulcer and depression. IA with you; nursing/nursing school is not all it's cracked up to be. There's very little reward value for all that you end...

  22. Is it normal to go from straight As in prereqs to b- grades in nursing classes

    QuarterLife88 replied to SarahBean87's topic in General Students

    I got all A's in my pre-reqs and one A minus. In nursing school I've gotten mostly B pluses one A and a stray A minus in lab sections. I'm all right with my B plus average gpa. In the pre-reqs there...

  23. Clinical Failure

    QuarterLife88 replied to student1919's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Advice? Grow up. Tardiness is tacky. I can't believe you think YOU'RE the

  24. Is it normal to feel like this?

    QuarterLife88 replied to Scrubs_girl's topic in General Students

    I spent all of first year feeling like that. I learned my lesson. Now after an exam, I put in my earphones and listen to music on my phone and don't talk to anyone. I actively get away from them in...

  25. Feeling kind of burnt out.

    QuarterLife88 replied to BlueEyedGuy's topic in General Students

    Open the dictionary, look up "burnout" and my username is right next to it. I'm in the 4th semester of a 5 semester program, and I just about had a breakdown two weeks ago, even taking a break from...
