  2. Student Bullying

    I can't believe the school would allow her to stay. At the school I attend a student got a drunk driving and they wouldn't allow her to finish because it looked bad on them. The threat of violence...
  3. I need a Miracle !

    Great news. Things always have a way of working
  4. Grades- do instructors round up?

    They do round at my school. An A is a 93.5 or higher, but our assignments and papers do not count toward our grade unless you are passing with a 79.5 at the end of the semester. The rounding was...

    Congratulations!! All your hard work paid
  10. Which is harder - A&P I or A&P II?

    I thought II was easier. I had the same instructor but I took Microbiology before A&P II and it all fell together. I don't think they even compare to Med-Surg
  11. The "weeding" out

    Best thing to do is just go with the flow. You will have patients who no matter what you do it's not enough, nurses who think your in their way and instructors who push you to the limit. The best...

    Good for you. We have to have a 79.5 to pass Med-Surg. Our final is in the middle of May and then I'm off all Summer There are several students who are at the cutting point right now in my class,...
  13. How to study for nursing exams?

    NCLEX tests have a style of their own. You can't really memorize the material, you have to learn to apply it. I agree with a lot of the other replies. Use the CDs, sample NCLEX questions and many...
  14. I wish I had studied this before Nursing 101.......

    In my school in Wisconsin we can use a calculator. For our dose calc. tests we have to have 95% or higher so that is only one wrong. They prepare us pretty well. We have a review and sample tests...

  19. Drill Sargent Clinical Instructor

    I have an instructor right now in clincals who is very tough. I also have her next year for 3rd semester. I have learned though if you don't know something, tell them and let them now you will look...
  20. why do you care if a student misses class?

    If another student is missing class, that's her problem. I have enough other stuff on my plate then to worry about other students' missing class. I have never missed a day of school in 2 years, but...
