  1. How to deal with a rude classmate?

    Sendana replied to esunada's topic in General Students

    I can see this situation between two dudes. Guy 1: "HEY, WHAT THE *** IS YOUR PROBLEM?" Guy 2: "Dude, you suck. Get away from me." Guy 1: "You gotta problem with me? Do we need to take this outside,...

  2. How to deal with a rude classmate?

    Sendana replied to esunada's topic in General Students

    Seriously, who cares what she thinks? She might have an attitude problem, or be intimidated by you, or she might just not care to be friends with you. It doesn't matter either way. You're not there...

  3. trying to stay strong and not give up but I feel like everyone is against me

    Sendana replied to golosa82's topic in General Students

    Bedmaking: the CORE of nursing practice.

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

    Sendana replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    If my husband is any indication, breasts remain fascinating basically forever. I'm waiting until gravity takes its toll to see if that holds

  5. Oh, why did I do this??

    Sendana replied to Calinurse4's topic in General Students

    Have you ever heard of James Herriot's All Creature's Great and Small? It's about a country vet in England. He talks about his first months out of school- his book learning versus his practical...

  6. Reducing Test Taking Anxiety

    Sendana replied to Truth66's topic in General Students

    A few of my classmates have found that propanolol is the answer. I'm not being flippant. Test anxiety in nursing school can ruin students. We have a couple on benzos and several on propanolol for...

  7. How many hours per week do you spend reading your nursing books?

    Sendana replied to moonredlife's topic in General Students

    20+ hours per week

  8. Summer before Nursing School

    Sendana replied to MrWarmHearted's topic in General Students

    If you're really hardcore, brush up on your A&P. But, really, there's not much you can do to prepare for a program- no matter how much knowledge you accumulate over the summer, they're going to...

  9. HELP!! I need guidance I saw someone cheating

    Sendana replied to Brie80's topic in General Students

    Self-grading? Uh, of course people without any integrity are going to take advantage of that. Maybe that's what the instructor wants. Don't be a squealer, though. Cheaters always hang themselves...

  10. Introduction to Philosophy or Logic and Critical Thinking

    Sendana replied to leesee's topic in General Students

    I took a class called Critical Thinking, and it was incredible. I kept the textbook and still read it quite frequently. We covered formal logic, truth tables, logical fallacies, deductive and...

  11. What can make a nurse with an ASN stand out?

    Sendana replied to hoofs2118's topic in General Students

    The same things that make an RN-BSN stand out. Hard work, dedication, and excellent technical skills. Degrees don't make the nurse, the nurse makes the degree (and that includes advanced

  12. Is working during Nursing School a good idea?

    Sendana replied to BtownRNHopeful12's topic in General Students

    No, it is not, but some people have no choice. The people who can actually pull of a job, family, AND nursing school at the same time deserve a lot more respect than they usually get. I go to school...

  13. Our nursing class grading scale is WAY easy...

    Sendana replied to klone's topic in General Students

    This is an excellent point. Quoted for emphasis. Another is that, if the material presented in a SoN is claimed to stand on its own merits, grade deflation should not be necessary. In other words,...

  15. Our nursing class grading scale is WAY easy...

    Sendana replied to klone's topic in General Students

    If I'm ever a nurse educator, I plan on addressing the stupendous idiocy of these grade deflation policies I keep seeing in schools of

  16. Question for educators

    Sendana replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in General Students

    You'll notice I didn't decry the format of the questions, or their purpose, just offered a reason for why they are so convoluted. I've also seen questions that are simply incoherent; over the past...

  17. Any tips for Pediatrics/OB rotation?

    Sendana replied to sch983's topic in General Students

    After it's over, you'll be looking forward to Med/Surg again. Maternity/Pediatrics was the most godawful experience I've ever had in school. The instructors were great, but if you don't like kids...

  18. Question for educators

    Sendana replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in General Students

    The poster above me is correct in stating that nursing school questions are presented that way in order to help prepare you for NCLEX. The better question is probably why NCLEX questions are so...

  19. Nudity?

    Sendana replied to tlp514's topic in General Students

    Whoever told you that was joking with

  20. nursing program vs. prerequisite courses?

    Sendana replied to JAMIE__0421's topic in General Students

    My nursing courses are much more difficult than my prerequisite

  21. "Traditional" private colleges offering BSN?

    Sendana replied to blondielocks's topic in General Students

    No waiting lists, exceptional faculty, small class sizes, and a lot of one-on-one time with my professors is what I get out of my BSN program at a private university. Yes, it is more expensive....

  22. Thryoid storm question..........

    Sendana replied to jorla9903's topic in General Students

    Calcium-channel blockers reduce cardiac output my reducing myocardial contractility, right? I would question that order in a patient with heart failure. What about diet as tolerated? Maybe he should...

  23. First day of nursing School *unleashed* post yours

    Sendana replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

    The truth is that some people read very little and do okay, and some people, like me, read a lot and do okay. Some books come with study guides, and the people who don't want to read such long...

  24. Nursing School: Officially the Hardest Thing I've Ever Done

    Sendana replied to werkinit's topic in General Students

    I've seen it done and managed it myself one semester (the first), but it doesn't help clinical performance. At least, it didn't help my clinical performance. Props to you for having high standards,...

  25. What are the advantages of going to a private university nursing school?

    Sendana replied to Unesdala's topic in General Students

    No waiting list and a small class size. For me it was an issue of practicality: wait two years to go to school, or pay more and go to school immediately. I chose the
