    Emotional Rollercoaster

    Certifiable replied to sandanrnstudent's topic in General Students

    You think too much. Sit back and relax... nursing school is in itself a rollercoaster, so I recommend that you try the bumper cars--- sit in the driver's seat before you sit on the REAL rollercoaster...

    Differences between BRUNNER & SUDDARTH'S 11th and 12th editions

    Certifiable replied to corsair's topic in General Students

    12th is much easier on the eyes... the font of 11th is ancient looking in

    Clinical Post Conference

    Certifiable replied to lansgrl123's topic in General Students

    What is a Post-conference? Is that just a fancy name for sitting around and talk about what we did that day? I'm not from the USA, so i'm unfamiliar with this term. We have 8 hour clinicals, and about...

    Which career to chose?

    Certifiable replied to yuyu335's topic in General Students

    I'm curious---Medical missionary? do you mean that when you practice medicine you'll be promoting Christianity, or that you are planning on going to some disadvantaged country and donate your

    Certifiable replied to Lisa1980's topic in General Students

    You are not going crazy. It's a known phenomenon-- it's called "avirat sof kurs-אס"ק"--- it's the end of course feeling- just when you should be going hammer and nails to complete something, you...

    Do you have a day off/free time?

    Certifiable replied to miyhaka's topic in General Students

    I actually think that it's not such a bad thing that she hasn't worked before the age of 18. If her parents supported her so that she didn't need to, leaving her time to focus on her high school...

    My Goodness

    Certifiable replied to Nscorpiored's topic in General Students

    YIKES! I've heard of the fact that some schools in the US ask their students to purchase kits, but yours seems way out there... next thing you know they'll be telling you to supply your own sheets for...

    Cell Phones in Class?

    Certifiable replied to virgo,student nurse's topic in General Students

    There are no official rules--- just that you shouldn't be on your phone during class, it's not smart to be seen handling one during clinicals (grades may suffer if the teacher thinks that you're...

    Community College? You must be stupid.

    Certifiable replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    it's the opposite here---- University costs LESS than CC/voactional schools... it's an attitude of- if you're smart enough to get in, than you get to pay less... thank god for that! (I hear horror...

    Help, My Nursing Cohort Dehisced!

    Certifiable replied to Railgun's topic in General Students

    I don't think it will be any different with your BSN, maybe not AS competitive seeing that not everyone goes to the same hospital to work, but still. I'm starting to feel the pressure of "getting a...

    Dark age testing policy

    Certifiable posted a topic in General Students

    Hello, Most tests in my program are multiple choice (from 4-8 options) tests. At the end of the exam we hand in all our papers- exam questions and our answers. Under no circumstances are we allowed to...

    Students cheating on tests....

    Certifiable replied to dreamer2011's topic in General Students

    Finally! someone agrees with me!-- i'm not from the US, but sometimes the teachers recycle questions. What is wrong with using the previous years test to study? The nursing school that reuses tests...

    So, has anyone ever reported someone?

    Certifiable replied to dreamer2011's topic in General Students

    In my university, proctors are 65+ pensioners, who don't know their uvula from a vulva... you'd be pretty stupid to rely on any of their

    Students cheating on tests....

    Certifiable replied to dreamer2011's topic in General Students

    At my university using previous year's tests to study is not considered cheating. Admin knows about it, and encourage it as a way to prepare yourself for the exam. 7 out of 48 questions on my genetics...

    BSN or BS

    Certifiable replied to ERsn's topic in General Students

    Ha, when I saw the title- i thought this was a humorous post... a BSN can sometimes be a lot of BS- if you know what I mean. Sorry, i'm just letting off steam as I study for exams- and your post...

    need help changing sleep schedule to accomodate clinicals

    Certifiable replied to zoey88's topic in General Students

    The first time going to sleep early is problematic.... but the next day you are so wiped that you find yourself checking your watch at 8pm wondering why it says that when you feel like its 11pm......

    Ever had you body say--- "Ok, now it's my turn to be in charge!"

    Certifiable posted a topic in General Students

    I made it through the whole semester without missing a class, so my body felt like the time was ripe for falling ill-- and it did- during exam time, very considerate body! Weirdest bunch of...

    Is a BSN in the USA different to a BSN in Ireland?

    Certifiable replied to butterfly134's topic in General Students

    I can't think of a reason why it would be different- you learn basically all the same subjects give or take a few... A BSN is a BSN... ask your school if they have any grads that had problems trying...

    Rant: Institutional disrespect of students

    Certifiable replied to canigraduate's topic in General Students

    I have wondered about this myself, as it is the same thing here. I find it interesting that NCLEX prep questions write "the Client" --- as in the patient.... yet to the teachers/proff/instructors etc'...
