  1. Cumulative testing in nursing program

    wahwahgerman posted a topic in General Students

    Just curious about other programs......How many of you have cumulative testing within your nursing program? Does every test you take include questions from any previous tests you have taken throughout...

  2. Things you would LOVE to say to your nursing instructors...

    wahwahgerman replied to Montessori Mommy's topic in General Students

    Could we get some consistency my dear instructors? Puhleeez? Seems like everything is subjective, even

    wahwahgerman posted a topic in General Students

    I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced a similar situation as myself...Here goes: I got docked 5% of my grade because I refused to hold an incompetent group member's hand during clinicals and...

    wahwahgerman replied to erica!'s topic in General Students

    Depends on your program, you will find out more when you go to orientation. Our clinicals are 2 days a

  5. clinicals while working part time job

    wahwahgerman replied to erica!'s topic in General Students

    I've been working 32 hours a week while in school and it has been just fine so far. There are a few days a week during clinicals when you will be unable to work due to clinical prep and such though....

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    That's right dang-it, don't find humor in the ridiculousness, because someone will feel the need to step in and be the higher moral standard. There is humor in every situation; if you lose your humor...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    Yes, let me single-handedly end favoritism. Behold all my amazing powers to stop all wrong-doings in the world and specifically in nursing

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    Thank you! Why people are so he!!-bent on making me sound like some greedy, selfish curmudgeon is beyond me. I am not that type of gal! It is my grade....and let's be real here, grades in college are...

  9. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    Thank you! I was not trying to mislead any readers; again, I did not want ESL students to be the primary focus. I look at my peers/fellow students as my equals and I don't even like to factor ESL into...

  10. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    Um, not blown out of proportion my friend, I'm not lying about one single solitary part of my experience that I have shared. So, let me get this straight. A nurse should be tossed out into this world,...

  11. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    Okay? Because in the end the patient will suffer if this person becomes a nurse who has not learned adequate skills! Thank you for pointing out the obvious. Let's be clear. The CI is doing no favors...

  12. Are grades in your school shared?

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

    Ours are the same, we get our grade and also a graph broken down by percentage and how many students fell into each bracket, i.e. 80-85%, 85-90%, 90-95%, etc. It's really nice to see, it helps to see...

  13. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    I did not mention the second language portion of this issue because I didn't want that to become the main focus of the postings. We all had to take the same prereq courses and obtain a high grade in...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    No, second language. We all get performance anxiety to some

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    nanacarol and jzkfel....I've never claimed to be a star pupil or the smartest in the class. I have lots to learn, I am a nursing student. Unfortunately, the two go hand and hand - my grade being...

  17. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    Again...I'm a student people, I AM STILL LEARNING MYSELF. I have helped this student for hours and hours and so has EVERYONE else. Are you kidding me with this post? Why would it be my responsibility...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    BrokeNewGrad.....Good advice! That's what I worry about. I haven't said anything to any other staff members for those very reasons, and I still may not until I graduate! I might just grind my teeth...

  19. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    I totally understand your point, and also the points Dolcevita made. You're also right that calling someone unsafe is a serious accusation and I am rethinking my approach. I'll give you a few examples...

  20. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    See, that's where the problem came in. Once myself and another student quit doing everything for the NS in question, that's when our grades got docked - for not helping ENOUGH....meaning, not helping...

  21. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    Hmmm, you may want to read this thread a bit more closely. We're not talking about a day's worth of points. Do you suppose I should fail the nursing program because this student is unable to learn the...

  22. Saint Kates BSN program

    wahwahgerman replied to Kamrun's topic in General Students

    Here is a link to the Board of Nursing. Check out the NCLEX pass rates for each college, it might help you narrow things down. St. Kate's got into trouble for having such low rates, I believe they...

  23. Do you think the job market for nurses will improve by the time you graduate?

    wahwahgerman replied to AtACrossRoads's topic in General Students

    Sorry if this has already been addressed but I have a quick question. When I looked into traveling internationally as an RN, it looked like you had to have a BSN. Does anyone know if there are...

  24. Failure of non-required classes 5 years ago?

    wahwahgerman replied to Warrior504th's topic in General Students

    People at my school had similar problems in their past education experience. It would be wise to file a formal petition (through the counseling office) just to be sure those grades are not factored...

  25. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    As an aside, you wouldn't believe some of the experiences I have had with this NS. It would make people sick to know that someone who is so grossly incompetent even got into the nursing program, much...
