    The teas test - i have a question!?

    Coriander replied to nickynoodles's topic in General Students

    When I took the TEAS, the questions were similar but had different answers, and some of us had questions that others didn't. I imagine it's going to be different every time you take

    Have you ever cheated?

    Coriander replied to JustYouWait's topic in General Students

    I'm being totally honest... I am entirely too scared of being kicked out of school to consider it. Plus, after the incident in high school I mentioned above, that freaked me out to the point of...

    Characteristics of a Nursing Student

    Coriander replied to cupcake231's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The ability to keep your eyes open when you're so exhausted you don't know how you'll make it? Patience, determination, serious work ethic, and the promise to yourself to have fun with it

    Have you ever cheated?

    Coriander replied to JustYouWait's topic in General Students

    I haven't read through all the responses yet, but wanted to give my response. Hell, no. Nothing makes me madder than someone who gets the same grade as I do without doing any work other than...

    Coriander replied to raverm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Please don't let the doubt start sinking in... look at all you've accomplished! :) I don't have any advice on which program to choose - have you spoken with a mentor/counselor in the Nursing...

    Explaining an F on your transcript

    Coriander replied to SerenePeach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've never had to explain an "F" either, although I've volunteered the information for the sake of letting them understand that I'm not the awful student I was back in 1992. :) If you need to explain,...

    I want to now about RN courses

    Coriander replied to ajara's topic in General Students

    Hi Ajara. I would suggest contacting the school you intend to apply to, and ask them for further information. Every school teaches a bit differently, and some instructors might assign chapters that...

    Is it just me?

    Coriander replied to >--stethoscope--o's topic in General Students

    I'm in my first semester, and don't plan on joining any study groups. Why? I get so distracted when there are a zillion people yapping. I would much rather study with someone else, or have my...

    "Good job!"

    Coriander replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    When I worked in LTC, we had a lot of caregivers using those same squeaky over-enthusiastic tones. They would always wonder why the residents would be grumpy or combative... I've heard it all from "I...

    Waking up.

    Coriander replied to >--stethoscope--o's topic in General Students

    I have alarms set on my alarm, my cellphone and my iPod Touch. My regular alarm is pretty loud, but my boyfriend's alarm scares the heck out of me in the morning. My alarm is a GPX D530, and my...

    Interventions for a Terrified, Disoriented Resident

    Coriander replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm so sad for this lady, and for you for having to hear "Oh, she's always been like that." I HATE that answer! When I worked with residents with all levels of dementia, we would often have a resident...

    Where do I put VENT posts (Are they even allowed)?

    Coriander replied to computer101's topic in General Students

    Oh I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through so much... of course you can vent! What do you think about speaking privately with your professor about the missed exam. They may not allow you to...

    Is it true about the poo?

    Coriander replied to gaia1214's topic in Nursing Humor

    You're not kidding. LOL I really wonder who's going to invent the combo gown-and-gloves. I had a wonderful gentleman who would make us wonder if we needed an umbrella each time we ushered him into...

    Coriander replied to hopefulUS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You've received some wonderful and inspiring comments here so far, but I also wanted to throw my cheerleading in ... I returned to school at age 32 with a 1.32 GPA (totally blew it when I was 17). I...
