    has anyone ever missed/skipped clinical?

    citylights89 replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    True. This is supposed to be an management/administration clinical. Hopefully clinical will not even start by then and I'm just wasting my time worrying. Class starts the second week of January and...

    Anyone else hate group projects?

    citylights89 posted a topic in General Students

    I know this topic has been posted already in the past, but I just had to rehash it. It seems like they are an unavoidable part of school that everyone has to go through and sometimes it doesn't go...

    Did you find Med-Surg class much harder than fundamentals?

    citylights89 replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    I find Pediatrics harder than anything, even ICU! I'm on the verge of failing, a place I have never been before. It's depressing, but I'm trying to do a lot of questions to get myself acclimated to...

    Seriously? What are they telling you in school?

    citylights89 replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    I totally get what you are saying; it irks me to no end, as well. I am currently in a clinical rotation at a community health clinic where MAs, LVNs, and a couple of RNs work. It's often hard to tell...

    Nursing as a first degree

    citylights89 replied to puppies1123's topic in General Nursing

    that's what I was thinking. How much is all of this going to cost? IMO, I think it's best to figure out what you definately want to do so you won't waste time and money studying something that you're...

    Very small nursing schools?

    citylights89 replied to TPtogo's topic in General Students

    83 students graduated? that's not small at all. shoot, at my school, you'd be lucky to get 20 students to graduate, which I rarely see happen. they usually graduate only around 10-15 students a term...

    What do you do about MA, GNA, etc calling themselves nurses?

    citylights89 replied to flymomrn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Exactly. People wouldn't be happy with some quack calling himself a doctor, so why is it okay for some random person to call themself a

    Nursing students required to have health insurance?

    citylights89 replied to amanda081106's topic in General Students

    That's just evil to REQUIRE you to have a car. do they not know that some people simply can't afford a car? School really shouldn't be made nearly impossible for some just because of the lack of a...

    I just wanted to collect a general survey as to how many nursing students use cars. I haven't had a car none through my time in college, but then again I live in a big city. It's troublesome...

    How many use a car for class/clinicals?

    citylights89 replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    some of what I have read here is not that dissimilar for my situation. in order to be at class for 0900, I have to be on the bus at 0700; its 0600 for a 0800 class. for clinicals, I was able to...

    What do you listen to while studying

    citylights89 replied to That Guy's topic in General Students

    I try to listen to non-verbal music, which can be either classical or jazz. When I don't have access to that kind of music, I usually end up listening to U2 or the like. When I'm in nursing school,...

    You may had seen one of my other threads talking about how my final year of nursing school is a financial nightmare. To add to that, the school's financial aid office just sent me a letter stating...

    Which NCLEX book?

    citylights89 replied to windmill182's topic in General Students

    It's possible they may come out with one soon, but changes have to go through with the NCLEX, I believe, before they change the edition of the book. 2009 was only 2 years ago. Since you are starting...

    citylights89 replied to flymomrn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    They always do that at the clinic I go to. I became more aware of it after I began nursing school. The girls are nice and all, but I don't appreciate MAs being called nurses. Everytime while I'm...
