    Certifiable replied to trainee's topic in General Students

    Sounds like you have the same coping method as I: when drowning, do nothing. I KNOW it's really unhealthy, but what can you do... when things pile up, i find other things to keep me busy :) But I'm...

    test bank

    Certifiable replied to jsr210's topic in General Students

    So let me get this straight--- If the teacher uses questions from the studyguide for the textbook, and you've seen them too--- than you're cheating?! That is exactly the same as looking at an old test...

    Academic dishonesty? are you kidding me?! The staff KNOWS that we do this--- there is nothing dishonest--- we're being very honest about it, we've brought up the point to the faculty that it's a...

    Certifiable replied to jsr210's topic in General Students

    Do you get to take your exam questions with you after the exam or are they whisked away, never to be seen again (b/c the faculty are to lazy to invent more questions)? If you get them, ask the ppl in...

    Certifiable replied to Felicia327's topic in General Students

    Did getting into nursing school seem like a life altering event?

    Certifiable replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

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

    Certifiable replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    When you see that i've come early to the classroom and am reading notes, don't come up and ask "what are you doing", and when I say "studying" don't brush it off and call me crazy, that we have ages...

    Certifiable posted a topic in General Students

    What do you always have in your scrub pockets?

    Certifiable replied to Lilbit's topic in General Students

    I also only use my two shirt pockets... using the pants is just asking for trouble. I have two bottom pockets: 1. Penlight, red and blue pen, yellow highlighter, small notebook and a A-Z pocket book...

    Does your nursing school/hospital provide scrubs/uniforms?

    Certifiable posted a topic in General Students

    I can count at least 5 different kind of fluids that splashed my uniform (white) while during clinicals (i'm only at the beginning, i know there's more). Yet the next day I'm expected to show up with...

    Is overkill possible for nursing student curriculum?

    Certifiable replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    Can student administer medication without RN supervision?

    Certifiable replied to AnneN's topic in General Students

    Does your nursing school/hospital provide scrubs/uniforms?

    Certifiable replied to Certifiable's topic in General Students

    Maybe I was unclear. I was merely stating that med students get scrubs, even though they are not on payroll. And I wouldn't mind paying a little extra tuition in the name of

    Certifiable posted a topic in General Students

    12 hour shift clinicals

    Certifiable replied to angelah11's topic in General Students

    I don't think we have 12hr shifts as students-- the only nurses that work 12hr shifts are ICU nurses- the rest are on 8
