  1. Nursing Student Burn out

    Sendana replied to smilealot's topic in General Students

    One year until graduation, and, frankly, if it were any longer and I didn't get summers off, I'd be in the mental hospital with some of my patients before the end of this

  2. One of my professors has it out for me.....

    Sendana replied to MiaNursingStudent's topic in General Students

    Sounds like she think you might actually have some brains and potential. Good teachers will be hard on you in the right

  3. What you had to give up for NS

    Sendana replied to amathis's topic in General Students

    Movies, video games, about 50% of my time to swim and run, non-nursing school friends, free time, personal time, time to read for pleasure, time to take a shower longer than five minutes, gas money,...

  4. How many people who start NS finish?

    Sendana replied to BillyMan's topic in General Students

    After three semesters, my BSN cohort has lost 33% of its starting

  5. Why do I get yelled at for doing the correct thing??

    Sendana replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    She took your drug book away from you? Are you flippin' serious? GO GET IT BACK. You're a grown-up and by God if you want to carry around FIVE drug books you go right ahead.

  6. Nursing school Vs. Nursing Prereqs

    Sendana replied to tag2007's topic in General Students

    No comparison. Nursing school is way, way tougher than any other classes I've had to take in college. Maybe not so much in terms of material, but definitely in terms of performance

  7. Grading system of Nursing Ed.

    Sendana replied to SuperDuperSuper's topic in General Students

    And those standards are hilariously variable. I'd love to see the statistical justification for an 85 being a "C." Students in that program may have to score higher on tests, but I'd really like to...

  8. Which do your prefer, Class or Clinicals?

    Sendana replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    Clinical, unless I'm dealing with kids. I'd rather chew broken glass than work with

  9. Nurses with Vasovagal response problems?

    Sendana replied to RyanAL's topic in General Students

    My guess is that you'd have more luck if you volunteered to help at the blood drive. You could pass out cookies and juice or something. That way you could observe on the sly. Definitely something...

  10. Grading system of Nursing Ed.

    Sendana replied to SuperDuperSuper's topic in General Students

    That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. I seriously doubt the person who came up with that has any legitimate justification for such an unforgiving grading system.The only way I can see that...

  11. Going to try this a different way

    Sendana replied to Leomom's topic in General Students

    I suggest trying a different internet browser,

  12. Going to try this a different way

    Sendana replied to Leomom's topic in General Students

    Is it a super-long post? There might be a character

  13. Taking A&P while in nursing school... how crazy hard is it?

    Sendana replied to nocheapones's topic in General Students

    It probably depends on how difficult and intense your nursing program is. I wouldn't dream of it doing that with mine, but I am a slow learner and that's more to do with what I know of my own...

  14. Nurses with Vasovagal response problems?

    Sendana replied to RyanAL's topic in General Students

    Depending on the severity of your response, it might be wise to seek some cognitive-behavioral therapy if this is something that truly concerns you. It could save you some money and stress in the...

  15. Have you ever cheated?

    Sendana replied to JustYouWait's topic in General Students

    And it's probably not cheating per se, but many people in my program do everything they can to game the

  16. Have you ever cheated?

    Sendana replied to JustYouWait's topic in General Students

    I have never cheated. There's no way I could live with myself. Besides, ill-gotten gains are nothing. What does cheating do for you? You still have to know all the material for

  17. Nurses who can't spell

    Sendana replied to alex08's topic in General Students

    I know plenty of people who aren't very good spellers, and imho it has no bearing whatsoever on their level of intelligence or ability to perform in class OR clinicals. When you start talking about...

  18. I feel burned out on nursing school

    Sendana replied to srleslie's topic in General Students

    I'm burned out too, but just slogging through it. If you're like me and getting a BSN basically so you can earn a DNP or a PhD, there's really no other way around it. My primary focus has always...

  19. Anyone regret ever having stepped foot in nursing school?

    Sendana replied to summersent's topic in General Students

    Sometimes I wish I had picked an easier major, but no, I don't regret going to nursing school. One year away from a BSN and the NCLEX. Then I can actually learn how to be a nurse! In fact, I used...

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

    Sendana replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Oh man, what a great thread! I'm sure mine have been repeated ad nauseum, but it will make me feel better! 1) You're angry, judgmental, and you take the frustration you feel at your own incompetence...

  21. Assessment Testing Madness

    Sendana posted a topic in General Nursing

    Greetings. I am a noob to this forum (but not to forums in general...if that makes a difference). I have seen some spirited discussion about this topic, but haven't found my specific issue here. I'm...

  22. Assessment Testing Madness

    Sendana replied to Sendana's topic in General Nursing

    re: Orca Thank you for your reply. I agree with you that my university is trying to prepare us for NCLEX with these tests. I also agree with you that tying advancement in the program to passage of...
