  1. New Grad who doesn't feel ready....

    not artificial sugar but I do have a really bad sweet tooth that I try and control... why do you
  2. New Grad who doesn't feel ready....

    You hit the nail on the head... this is exactly how I feel. I don't know what we can do to treat this brain fog but maybe it will go away with
  3. New Grad who doesn't feel ready....

    Thanks so much for the comments and stories guys! They really go a long way to easy my mind. I am sure that I will be a great nurse one day and I just need to be patient with myself until I get...
  4. Grade Appeals

    To the OP... sorry you failed. Certainly, they could have found two points that you could have argued. However, you have to see it from their point of view. If they lower the passing standard by...
  5. What the heck does she know? Nothing. She's a micro teacher. I would just ignore her and get your grade and
  6. ...So working & going to NS is out of the quest?

    Anything can be done but I don't think working 3 12h shifts in nursing school is wise unless you absolutely have to. You have to think; you will have lecture, clinical, study time, extra work time for...
  7. LAZY NURSES

    Sorry this is riddled with grammatical errors. I think I was having some problems with my
  8. LAZY NURSES

    But if he can vent, why can't I? I am just dishing out the same dish he served to someone else
  9. LAZY NURSES

    I see your point but the OP didn't just state an opinion but insulted a nurse that he only saw for a day. He called her for her weight and made called her stupid for a very unfair reason. I...
  10. Exactly... and people who say things like "I would rather a nurse with xx GPA then xy GPA" really have no understand of what nursing is really all
  11. That sucks that you didn't get into the nursing program. You need to know that this is just the tip of the iceberg compared to how things go once you are actually in the nursing program. Trust me, I...

  13. LAZY NURSES

    I think the OP is an example of the type of nurse you DON'T want to be... quick to judge and focusing on things that don't make a freakin' difference. Who gives a crap if it is a low molecular weight...
  14. They're Their and There

    good
  15. They're Their and There

    Big deal... in my mind, proper grammar is a very small indicator of a person's true intellect, wisdom or ability to critically
  16. My letter came! My letter came!

    Congrats! That is indeed an amazing feeling getting into nursing school. I am 7wks from graduation and will never forget the day I received my acceptance letter in the mail. I had to pick it up at...
  17. Thats a huge risk to take for a program that doesn't even have it's accreditation... JMHO... I would switch programs if you are not too far
  18. Pinning Ceremony Songs

    Lady Gaga's "Love Game" would be a great song... "I wanna take a ride on your disco stick"... very classy
  19. 3rd semester.....don't think I am going to make it!

    I don't think confidence plays that much into being a nurse. You can think you can do something all you want but if you don't have the knowledge or ability to critically think than it's not going to...
  20. My reaction to the 1st semester of A&P...

    I felt the same way about A&P back when I did my pre-reqs. Now that I am ready to graduate, I am surprised to realize that it is academic child's play compared to the actual nursing program. At...
  21. It just takes time. I just got over my hospital anxiety a couple weeks ago and I graduate in 10wks! I have even been working as a PCT at a hospital since christmas and it has just been now that I no...
  22. I think it will be a bad move... For one thing, if you have a job secured you really should work for at least a year... that way you will have the experience you need to have a much easier time...
  23. Kind of feel discouraged

  24. Can nurses have facial piercings?

    Unprofessional... plus it makes the people who wear them look like morons... but that is just my
  25. I got a J-O-B!

    I just got a job working float PCT in a hospital system of about 7 facilities. I get to pick my own hours, work on a different floor every day and make 16.40 base pay! When I work weekend nights, I...
