    Keeping Yourself Motivated...

    Coriander replied to Kyla.ann's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a "vision board" in my bathroom. On it, I have a nurse's body with my head glued on, a picture of the BSN pin and also an RN pin. I have a photo of the college I want to go to, and a picture...

    Question about retaking courses for better grades...

    Coriander replied to ysosa1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would think that they'd rather have good grades the first time around, but I think retaking courses to earn better grades also shows a determination to improve yourself. You're not simply going to...

    Cheating on final

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

    I had to respond to this because in my History class this past semester, one guy actually did cheat. The instructor had left the room, and the guy pipes up, "Hey, what year was the Immigration Act?"...

    Anyone else waiting to hear from San Diego State University?

    Coriander replied to Coriander's topic in California Nursing

    I am getting giddy... a little worried, because my cumulative GPA is low due to stupidity at age 17. I hope they consider that I've earned all A's except for one B in the last 2 1/2 years....

    Coriander replied to HouTxNurse832's topic in General Students

    Yay! Congrats! I was also one of the few to earn an A in my Micro class. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication, and you proved that, not only to the teacher ,but to yourself. Congratulations

    Coriander replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in General Students

    Coriander replied to Sophia Petrillo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This. My micro teacher was the head of the science department, and completely busted our a**es in class. She told us that she did not give grades, we earned them. We all had A's to begin with, it was...

    Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    Coriander replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    A piece of bread is NOT a good substitute for a tampon. (Resident was in her 80's and had dementia.) Don't use your bagel as a stimulation device in front of your female tablemates. This will...

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

    I feel bad... : (

    Coriander replied to hcook08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I imagine this isn't the first time the hospital has been told by a volunteer that it won't work for them after all. I know that you feel bad, but if it just doesn't work for you, it doesn't work for...
