    Cheating (unintentionally and intentionally)

    lifelearningrn replied to lifelearningrn's topic in General Students

    I agree with you.. I think that when it comes to online classes, they need to SPELL out what is considered unacceptable. I've taken online classes in the past where teachers have explicitly said that...

    Can a teacher do this?

    lifelearningrn replied to Dezy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I actually agree with you that it's a cop out when a teacher doesn't teach. That is their job and what our very expensive tuition pays for. I do agree that instructors can't go in depth on every...

    Chamberlain Nursing School

    lifelearningrn replied to Navyprincess0001's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi there! No, I didn't apply-- I couldn't reconcile the price tag! I'm currently in my second semester at TWU.

    Cheating in the Classroom

    lifelearningrn replied to meatballgirl's topic in General Students

    You don't know that she is cheating on these exams. Is it fishy? Without a doubt. And I promise you that if she is as poor a student as you've painted her to be, the instructors are suspicious of her...

    In Over My Head?

    lifelearningrn replied to .Jasper.'s topic in General Students

    We are ALL in over our heads. I know it's rough.. In my first semester, I questioned myself constantly about whether I really wanted to do this. I felt trapped-- and part of me wanted to quit, more...

    Cheating (unintentionally and intentionally)

    lifelearningrn replied to lifelearningrn's topic in General Students

    Maybe I'm naive, but I believe my classmate (student in question) 100% about that particular situation. I don't believe that is spelled out in our rules, either, I've reread them and while some are...

    Cheating (unintentionally and intentionally)

    lifelearningrn replied to lifelearningrn's topic in General Students

    I don't completely disagree with you, especially when it comes to the midterm at my school. With the students in Arizona, I can see where some confusion may have come in, especially since one of the...

    Students, do any of you not want a hospital job after graduation?

    lifelearningrn replied to Skips's topic in General Students

    Bedside nursing is what the majority of nurses in the field actually do-- so I expect that most going into the field are expecting to go straight to the bedside. This is especially true for ADNs, as...

    lifelearningrn replied to mursetudent25's topic in General Students

    I mentioned this earlier and I'll mention it again, just in case you miss it... I guarantee you that your job description will read, "other duties as assigned".. and that is basically saying that they...

    lifelearningrn replied to mursetudent25's topic in General Students

    Have you ever had a job? And if so, have you ever held one for more than a year? It sounds to me like you have no experience in the real world. I'm going to tell you this, and you should take it to...

    is 25-30 too late to want to pursue a nursing degree?

    lifelearningrn replied to mee9mee9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 40 and in nursing school. There are a couple women older than me in my class, one is in her 50s, another in her 60s!

    Considering just taking boards and be a LPN...does that make me a failure?

    lifelearningrn replied to FaithGurl93's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Then get your license and go to work and live life for a little while. You're young, you don't have a lot of bills or responsibilities. Start building your future, save a little bit of money and...

    lifelearningrn replied to mursetudent25's topic in General Students

    Because you're expected to bend over backwards as a nurse. You're going to be tasked with a lot of things you find inconsequential, and you will be expected to do those tasks. I kind of agree with the...

    Will I get in trouble ? ? ?

    lifelearningrn replied to Congababe13's topic in General Students

    I'm so sorry you've been kicked out of school for this lapse in judgement.. It's sad (and scary) that humans aren't allowed to make mistakes anymore. Yes, this was a pretty big mistake, but it was a...

    Will I get in trouble ? ? ?

    lifelearningrn replied to Congababe13's topic in General Students

    I've seen a lot of people say cell phones aren't allowed in clinicals.. in my school, or at least for all of my clinical classes so far, having a cell phone is required. All of us students end up...

    Several things are making me consider dropping nursing school

    lifelearningrn replied to samrusrn's topic in General Students

    I don't know where to begin.. I could be off base but you're coming off as if nursing is beneath you and you can't be bothered with taking it seriously. I have yet to meet one student who enjoys...

    Help... at wit's end with my nursing program

    lifelearningrn replied to meatballgirl's topic in General Students

    I read a little on your past threads and I think you've kind of had a lot of issues with this program from the go. I'm guessing this is one of those for-profit tech schools? Which means you've...

    Considering just taking boards and be a LPN...does that make me a failure?

    lifelearningrn replied to FaithGurl93's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It is your life. I don't see being an LPN a failure in any sense of the word. IMO, it's a HUGE accomplishment. You're 19 years old and already have trade that will allow you to make your own way in...

    Clinical Failure

    lifelearningrn replied to student1919's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    & I see a whole lot of excuses and rationalizations here, and no responsibility being taken. I don't know anyone who gets to choose their clinical time... a wreck is a good excuse.. what about...

    Clinical Failure

    lifelearningrn replied to student1919's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Is this for real? If so, I don't see one iota of responsibility being taken here, for anything. First of all, being late to clinical 'quite a few times' is inexcusable. It reflects badly on you and...

    Crazy Coworker, Drug Abuse, and The Hostile Work Atmosphere

    lifelearningrn replied to NurseJaycee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Is this woman involved in direct patient care? If so, she's endangering the lives of every patient she comes in contact with. Report her, even if it's anonymous--- doesn't your job do random drug...

    How many must make 80% or better on each exam?

    lifelearningrn replied to Stoogesfan's topic in General Students

    Our school is 72% overall. They will not factor in other projects, quizzes, etc. unless your test scores are 71.5 or higher. My school has a great reputation and a super high NCLEX pass rate. I...

    Desparate for advice...or just give up?

    You won't necessarily have to retake chemistry-- definitely double check with the programs you want to apply for. Some schools don't even require
