    Attendance policy at your school

    CrazierThanYou replied to lelafin's topic in General Students

    I go to a community college. The nursing program claims the attendance is mandated by the state. I don't know if that's the truth but the school itself makes a huge deal about attendance. They say...

    Your first semester/quarter grades

    CrazierThanYou replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    Here, you either need a 78% to pass or incredibly butt kissing skills. In that case, you can pass with less than a

    I got an 88 on nearly every exam. It was like it was MY number or

    CrazierThanYou replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    That's exactly what we've been saying. This girl pawns herself off as a sweet little darling and she has many people fooled but those of us who are with her day in and day out have seen her true...

    Attendance policy at your school

    CrazierThanYou replied to lelafin's topic in General Students

    In my program, we had a girl who was in a car accident and then her mother passed away in quick succession. No sympathy for her. She was out of the program. Another was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast...

    Attendance policy at your school

    CrazierThanYou replied to lelafin's topic in General Students

    That's pretty harsh. Things do happen. Of course, at my school, we have WAAAAAAY more clinical hours then the state requires AND our clinicals are pretty much a waste of

    In my program, you can miss ONE lecture. ONE. For clinical, you can miss ONE day. Kinda funny, considering our "lecture" is really

    We're all really sick of hearing about your weekend travels to visit all your sugar daddies in various states. We call you a word that starts with a W and ends with HORE. Having sex with big nasty in...

    Why Do Nursing Instructors Rely So Heavily On PowerPoints To Teach?

    CrazierThanYou replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    This pretty accurately describes my instructors I had the first year of nursing school. Now that I'm a second year student, I have 2 instructors who read straight from the PowerPoint, word for word....

    Why Do Nursing Instructors Rely So Heavily On PowerPoints To Teach?

    CrazierThanYou replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    Of course not. Their sole purpose is to sit around on their butts, drinking coffee and offering criticism while waiting on their next paycheck.

    What do you think about a student missing clinical?

    CrazierThanYou replied to starrys's topic in General Students

    Yes, check with your school policy and your instructors. If it's like mine, we're allowed one and a half absences yet we're told not to come if we're sick :/ I always take my allowed days off. My...

    CrazierThanYou replied to lexingtonmom's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    My school is big on the HESI right now. There were 2 in the first semester, 1 in the 4th semester (which I take Tuesday) and 2 in the last semester. The first one I passed but most of the class failed...

    I has been posted several times but this what I say about that: I do post my grades but I do it so my family members, who WANT to know, can see. BUT, I also grouped all my classmates into a group so I...

    CrazierThanYou replied to Montessori Mommy's topic in General Students

    Just so you know, your constant fawning over our classmate isn't lost on us. Neither is the fact that you've let her be team leader numerous times, or that you've let her go home early from clinical...

    How hard are the nursing programs at state schools?

    CrazierThanYou replied to nursegirl333's topic in General Students

    Up until this semester we've had a crap load of work and it was ALL self-taught outside of class. This semester has been crap like ethics, advocacy, and a lot of other junk we've already covered so...

    CrazierThanYou replied to Gaff1's topic in General Students

    I just had a patient yesterday at clinical. His O2 order was for 2L. He was an emphysema patient. I was setting up his portable O2 tank to ambulate him in the hall. I stepped out for a sec and wen I...

    How hard are the nursing programs at state schools?

    CrazierThanYou replied to nursegirl333's topic in General Students

    That is a mighty subjective question. It's different for everyone. Some of my classmates find nursing school to be "mind blowing" but for me, it really hasn't been too bad. So far anyway. Ask me again...

    What is something interesting about "diabetes 2" I could share?

    CrazierThanYou replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Students

    Excellent information! I have to say though, my shots still hurt, even with the 31g needle! Yes indeed, metformin can give some mighty... interesting? symptoms. And bravo to the part about the...

    Need help with test question

    CrazierThanYou replied to Gaff1's topic in General Students

    This is basically what I was going to say but Psych beat me to it. If the patient has a diagnosis of emphysema, then 10L of O2 would almost certainly send him/her into hypercapnia. Also, I was taught...

    CrazierThanYou replied to Kaligirl02's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Relax. Take a deep breath. I've always been told that nursing school is never what you expect and I definitely found that to be true. Yes, some schools do want students to have all pre-reqs and such...
