    rejection is making me lost

    DolceVita replied to carroyo90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is a pity. I was able to retake one in which I received a C (and thank goodness because it was a 5 credit

    rejection is making me lost

    DolceVita replied to carroyo90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I completely agree with this. I had a stinky couple of grades one very bad semester -- took them again and got my GPA up to 3.87. Don't community/tech colleges have a lower gpa that they will

    Are You a Member of the allnurses.com Grammar Police?

    DolceVita replied to PacoUSA's topic in Nursing Humor

    utilize versus use People don't seem to know the difference. Utilized is terribly overused (and improperly so). Perhaps people think a bigger word sounds better but it really just shows they don't...

    Care Plan HELP

    DolceVita replied to NurseJen26's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Re the past STI history -- you can only state "denies any previous STIs". As for the ND. You cannot really use risk for infection when there is an infection already present UNLESS you mean risk for...

    Saw a car accident; I wish I was already a nurse!

    DolceVita replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    I agree 100% Perhaps people should only be allowed to challenge out of their CPR twice and then they need to take the whole course again (I am an instructor so I am a bit biased). Also, why don't you...

    Help, I've got a crush!

    DolceVita replied to eb2esrun's topic in General Students

    Exactly. I think you know you shouldn't do this or you would not have posted about it on a message

    I think cutsey scrub tops look ridiculous on adult units

    Yep just the image I am trying to project -- not. It is quite hideous apart from anything

    STOP - Don't buy your textbooks from the school bookstore

    DolceVita posted a topic in General Students

    Hi my fellow students, I just wanted to say, if you are careful, you can get new books much cheaper online. In fact even "used books" that I have ordered looked brand spanking new when I got them...

    STOP - Don't buy your textbooks from the school bookstore

    DolceVita replied to DolceVita's topic in General Students

    The requirement that they textbook is listed with the course catalogue. I would wander into the college admin with a copy of the legislation and wave it around. Better yet go to the school or local...

    Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    DolceVita replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    I know we were told to stay back in the corner of the room and shut up if there was a code. Could that have been ther instructor's

    Tired of the CNA Lecture *Mini-rant*

    DolceVita replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't worry about it. I had an instructor tell me I would have a problem getting a job as a nurse because I had not worked as a CNA. Rubbish. I didn't have time for nursing school, looking...

    The "I HATE IT WHEN..." thread for students!!

    DolceVita replied to shescoolie's topic in General Students

    I hate it when you take an online class and they pile on more than three times the work as a face to face class. Is this just so someone takes the online class seriously? C'mon -- they even have...

    Dietary Analysis

    DolceVita replied to KANZ10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They gave you a specific program to do this? They all work from amount consumed so I am not seeing a difference -- unless you are tracking vitamins and minerals too. Why if you are looking something...

    Will working as a CNA during nursing school help me get a job?

    DolceVita replied to mysticpenguin's topic in General Students

    I have heard yes and no to this. Which is frustrating. CNA is not a nurse therefore not the experience wanted (which is true). Then other people saying you have a better chance if you worked as a...

    Trying to avoid undesirable CNA duties

    What do you wish you were told on the first day?

    Dietary Analysis

    DolceVita replied to KANZ10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Man I hate when they ask all of this highly personal information -- it is none of their business. You can track this stuff nicely at Calorie Counter, Diet Tracking, Food Journal, Nutrition Facts at...

    What do you wish you were told on the first day?

    DolceVita replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    I agree that allowing constant tardiness is a awful. We had a woman that was frequently late -- by more than 15 minutes (not that the no. of minutes really matters). One day she came nearly an hour...
