    Sendana replied to kindofageek's topic in General Students

    Change majors. Nursing isn't for everybody and there's no shame taking a different path in

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

    Sendana replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

    I...honestly don't remember the first day of the first class of nursing school. It must not have been that bad. What I remember is the first day of fundamentals (second semester, first year). The...

  4. HESI- Missed it by 1 point!

    Sendana replied to nursing_rocks23's topic in General Students

    I am sorry for this minor threadjack, but I've been meaning to ask this since I got here: *** is the HESI? I'm a senior nursing student and I've never even heard of this test. Yeah, yeah, I could...

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

    Sendana replied to werkinit's topic in General Students

    4.0s are a rarity in nursing school, because of both the difficulty of the material, and the phenomenon of grade

  6. Why are nurses so hard on each other?

    Sendana replied to Dragonsmack's topic in General Nursing

    look, i can make an itemized list, too! 1) what a hysterical response. the lady protests entirely too much. 2) you don't know anything special about anybody on the internet, either, but i'm glad...

  7. is Nursing School HARDER than Medical School?

    Sendana replied to sunny d's topic in General Students

    I do not believe that nursing school is as difficult as medical school, but that does not mean that nursing school is not incredibly difficult. Also, it probably depends on where you go to school....

  8. how to report a teacher to the BRN?

    Sendana replied to scibruin's topic in General Students

    No. NO. NO. NO. NO. There is no "but." I am tired of this "Well, the CI was wrong, but the student deserved it anyway" line of argument. The student should have been dismissed sans a pat-down. The...

  9. how to report a teacher to the BRN?

    Sendana replied to scibruin's topic in General Students

    Except that the first couple of pages of the thread are full of "You totally deserved it" posts, as well as "When will these kids bow down and surrender to the AUTHORITAH of nursing instructors"...

  10. how to report a teacher to the BRN?

    Sendana replied to scibruin's topic in General Students

    That doesn't make it okay for the instructor to perform a physical search. If the instructor suspects there is a violation of a phone policy, the instructor can simply dismiss the student for the...

  13. Nursing programs that don't require Chemistry?!

    Sendana replied to emily_ganshert's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Funny story: during my prerequisites, I also had to take chemistry- very basic chemistry. Like "this is nitrogen, this is oxgen, here is the periodic table, ho-hum" kind of chemistry. What happened...

  14. bad experience with a male nurse

    Sendana replied to bigd123's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It's not aggressive to tell somebody who is treating you badly that 1) You feel they are treating you badly, and 2) You would appreciate it if they would modify their behavior. Not only is it not...

  15. I Want To Quit

    Sendana replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    I hear you. I'm getting a BSN for the sole purpose of moving on to nurse practitioner training (and the flack I get for this from RNs is intense...apparently I don't want to be a "real" nurse), but,...

  18. Nursing school students problem.is it racism???

    Sendana replied to finegirl's topic in General Students

    Could be racism. Or, it just could be common human snobbery. It's everywhere. At my school we have: the rich white girls clique, the rich non-white girls clique, the ultra-religious clique, the...

  20. Co-Worker not smelling so good

    Sendana replied to RelloydRN's topic in General Nursing

    You would "report" a co-worker with BO to the nurse manager? Really? How childish and passive-aggressive. Grown-ups need to handle their own problems as quietly as possible at the lowest possible...

  22. I fainted today in the ICU!

    Sendana replied to aismail3's topic in General Students

    It's an involuntary response. It happens. Try not to beat yourself up about it too much. Unless you've inherited a genetic predisposition to experience an exaggerated vagal response to stuff like...

  23. You know you're in nursing school when....

    Sendana replied to Valasca's topic in General Students

    When you truly cease caring about politics, current events, your social life, your friends' social lives, or anything that isn't related to nursing school. When budgeting the time to exercise three...

  24. Just venting at midterms

    Sendana replied to esunada's topic in General Students

    3.5 and above should render you very competitive for nursing school. 3.0 is still pretty good. What are your program's

  25. tired of hearing it, nursing students PLEASE answer

    Sendana replied to ChervRN's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is incredibly difficult. Time management skills and personal organization need to be top-notch to do well (note I said "do well," not "pass." You can still skate by if that's your...
