  1. Discouraged

    Despareux replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Sorry you're feeling not-so-confident. Maybe you could try some relaxation techniques like meditation or just something to put you in a "knowing" zone. Got my fingers crossed for

  2. Your first semester/quarter grades

    Despareux replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    For my first three rotations, the only thing I received an A in was clinical. Everything else ranged from a B- to an A-. All my science classes (A&P, Micro, Math, Patho, Pharm,...

  3. Practicing nursing care plans

    Despareux replied to NikiCharles_01's topic in General Students

    What about looking at the sample care plans in your books? When reading care plans, asking yourself how and why everything connects (diagnoses vs. subjective/objective vs. goal vs outcomes vs...

    Crocs kill my back and my knees. Thanks for the input though.

  6. I am DONE :)

    Despareux replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Congratulations! You must share how it feels to have nursing school behind

  7. Exaggerations and Lack of Accountability

    Despareux replied to Despareux's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I discussed my concerns with person today because I kind of felt like it was my responsibility. I'm glad I did it because now I feel like I've set boundaries. If I was behaving in such a way, I...

  8. Exaggerations and Lack of Accountability

    Despareux posted a topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm worried about having to work with somebody who exaggerates and may even lie; someone who refuses to accept accountability and quick to place blame on everyone and everything else but their self;...

  9. Ebooks in Nursing School?

    Despareux replied to hannah87's topic in General Students

    I use both the hard copy and the ebook. I use my books to read/study from and use my ebooks for locating information quickly, which cut down a lot of time looking up information for my care plans and...

  10. does it really matter where you got your degree from?

    Despareux replied to Nolander's topic in General Nursing

    Why does it scare you? As long as the school is regionally accredited and is eligible to sit for NCLEX, what difference does it

    It's okay to be wrong; consider it an opportunity to learn something

  12. Exaggerations and Lack of Accountability

    Despareux replied to Despareux's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Does anyone recommend discussing these issues with the person at any time? Maybe nobody has ever told them that their attitude could be harmful and perhaps they should put it in check before working...

    Thanks. Reading your post help put things into

  14. What do you think about a student missing clinical?

    Despareux replied to starrys's topic in General Students

    Do you know your schools policy regarding missed clinical days? If not, perhaps becoming familiar with them will help in making your decision. Maybe you could try an OTC that is much stronger than...

  15. My worst fear come true.

    Despareux replied to decembergrad2011's topic in General Students

    I agree with the other posters who commend you for accepting accountability--that's hard to do. I think it's wonderful that you are given a second chance; and personally, I think if you always have...

  16. How hard are the nursing programs at state schools?

    Despareux replied to nursegirl333's topic in General Students

    Now that's an excellent post. Couldn't have said it any

  18. Tell Me About Your Final Semester of Nursing School

    Despareux posted a topic in General Students

    I have less than two weeks left of my fourth quarter and it's been a rough patch, not just for me, but for so many others in my class. Anyway, our last quarter is Med/Surg III - Critical Care. I'm...

  19. Tell Me About Your Final Semester of Nursing School

    Despareux replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    Thank you for the heads-up. Some of these experiences sound grueling, which doesn't sound too far off from some of my own experiences in nursing school, thus far. Right now, nursing school seems...

  20. Another one, or two, bite the dust!!!

    Despareux replied to clandestine-approach's topic in General Students

    I was sort of taken aback by that statement as well. I sensed some snarkiness and not sure

  23. RN school, wanting to get CNA..

    Despareux replied to Jules0609's topic in General Students

    Check out your state's website and look up certification/licensure information. There's some kind of waiver/exemption notice you will have to fill out and send in. I hear the cost is minimal,

  24. failed my clinical rotation? very worried..

    Despareux replied to mursetudent25's topic in General Students

    That kind of behavior is considered unprofessional and is grounds for dismissal from our program. As a nursing student, you are held to very high standards of professionalism. While you may not see...

  25. has anyone ever missed/skipped clinical?

    Despareux replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't miss my first clinical day, but I would try really hard to either get my clinical days switched or even that first clinical day switched. If you receive student loans or other aid, not...
