    Earning a B in Chemistry really has me in a funk!

    DolceVita replied to longbow.shelly's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't compare how you and your brother felt about the same class. My experience is that it is disheartening when I want them to say "it was a bugger" and they say "oh it was a breeze". Off topic...

    Unwise to get married?

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

    IMO Getting married at any age or at any stage in education (or career) requires the same attention to fundamental details -- not specifically related to nursing school or any other type of school --...

    DolceVita replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I read somewhere that it was indicative of a psych issue (in adults). Apparently can be considered a sign of detachment or dissociation. I think it is just odd. Some people go to strange lengths not...

    Buying textbooks online?

    DolceVita replied to C-lion's topic in General Students

    My school said the same thing. I went to their bookstore looked at the set, and wrote down all of the isbn numbers. Then searched online for cheaper. I got the same ones, new, at about half

    How do you remember it all?

    DolceVita replied to Bipity's topic in LPN to RN

    I have found that everything is building on past courses. I do a very quick review/overview of a system before we do the pathophysiology. Then the pathophysiology makes sense to me. Also, when we...

    I think I got an unfair grade in clinicals

    DolceVita replied to nurse12b's topic in General Students

    I completely agree. There are a lot of A's in my class and I don't believe that 85% of the class is getting an A. Also, I do not know why people do randomly share their grades. There is one student...

    DolceVita replied to KarmaComesAround's topic in General Nursing

    I agree 100%. I was taught by a very wise person that if someone is talking about others when they aren't present I should just say "I'm uncomfortable with this" and then change the subject or walk...

    What do you think about students asking for a higher grade?

    There has to be a cut off somewhere. That being said a person can always ask. The instructor should have said

    Loved evening clinicals. Only downside...the patients are sometimes exhausted from their day AND have had a student from another college during the day shift. That will make them awfully cranky (no...
