2. treatment of student nurses on the floor

   Tyler77 replied to teterichko123's topic in General Students

   Actual patient care comes first on a hospital floor? Really? With all the texting, eye-rolling, and gossip that nurses do on the floor, I'm surprised they have TIME to take care of patients! Isn't that what the indentured serva...oh I meant PCT's are...

   Tyler77 replied to WorkingClassDog's topic in New Jersey

   If you got along great witht the instructors, then good for you. There'ss ome instructors there that I've just wanted to ask "If you're so miserable and unreceptive to students, why are you in what's called a "caring" profession? Clinical instructors...

4. Nursing School Not For Me

   Tyler77 replied to daniellevw's topic in General Students

   If a student is dreading the fact even GOING to class, there's a lot to be said. If they've made their decision that nursing school isn't for them, just let them be...Telling them to "tough it out" is only going to worsen what they're going through. ...

5. So I might not get to start nursing school afterall...

   Tyler77 replied to mamayogibear's topic in General Students

   A lot of female nursing students are going through what you go. It's the same routine: boyfriend tells girlfriend that "he'll always be there for her", get her pregnant, and RUNS when he finds out she's expecting. The result is another new single mom...

7. Nursing or Medicine???

   Tyler77 replied to PallaviMuraleedharan's topic in General Students

   Is this thread for real? Why do people choose medicine? Answer: Money! Let's not start with the "holisitc" approach or "I can give better care to patients at the bedside." Puh-leez. Go sell that to someone lese. Students that "choose" that applied to...

8. ATTENTION MOMMIES!

   Tyler77 replied to mommy_5's topic in General Students

   If you're 30 and have 5 kids, I hope their father is in the picture, or you're married to him!! Seems like every female that was under 25 in my class that had kids either a) had NO contact with her kids fathers or b) chalked up their kid as a "mistak...

9. A- in A&P 1

   Tyler77 replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

   An A- is unacceptable. Re-take the class and pray you get an A+.

10. I absolutely HATE it!

    Tyler77 replied to Manepride's topic in General Students

    What you describe goes on in every program--the cattiness, drama, etc. Don't give them ammo. If another student asks you a personal question, be vague with your answer so they can't make any dumb conclusions based on what you said. That being said, i...

11. Fresh new nursing student looking for advice/direction

    Just say to yourself: "I will not be a drama queen in class." "I will come to class on time." "I will not text during clinicals." "I will not gossip/backstab/make up stories abou other people." "I will not reveal 'cute' stories about myself in nursin...

    Tyler77 replied to breezy7's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Breezy7, Wait till you go out there in the real world and deal with misearable, bitter, catty nurses. You can't walk to HR and ask "Can I have a transfer out of Nurse Smith's Dept. She's mean!" Good luck, kiddo. Welcome to the real world.

    Just lovin' this: although what I did was a violation, i don't think that what I did was wrong. Not like I was cheating." This "oh blame someone or soemthing else" attitude is soooo rampant these days, especially in nursing school, that no one can ev...

14. Nursing Students- Were Any of You "B" Students- and Still Got Accepted?

    Tyler77 replied to lifelearningrn's topic in General Students

    OK I had a 2.4. I'm white, no kids, not in any need of financial assistance. I'm not catty ("Oh did you see the shoes she was wearing!!). My dad is not a doctor, my mother will probabbly never be "mother of the year", I don't "give it up" if a guy n...

15. Muhlenburg Nursing program vs Middlesex County College

    Tyler77 replied to Lee17's topic in New Jersey

    I only have experience with MCC, and the negative attitude and "holier than thou" attitude among the nursing staff is unbearable. Unless it's due to personal reasons, nearly EVERYONE passes the first core nursing course (Fundamentals). In the spring,...
