    If your teacher gets her tests directly off the Internet...

    lifelearningrn replied to Melseal's topic in General Students

    Wow- I'm pretty clumsy but I've never stumbled over a test bank before, let alone the one my instructor was using. It's cheating if he says it's

    I got what everyone wanted and now, I'm unsure that "I" want it.

    lifelearningrn replied to mallory4's topic in General Students

    I know how you feel. I was pretty convinced that I wouldn't be accepted into nursing school either, and I had picked (and was excited about) laboratory sciences (a 4 year degree too) as my back up. I...

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

    lifelearningrn replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    I have a great class. And while I'm sure some dislike me, I'm not going to let that affect my overal opinion of our program. I'm not a competitive person, so don't feel the obligation to compete with...

    Practicing NG Tube on each other?

    lifelearningrn replied to pjharrelson's topic in General Students

    No way on earth I'd have done the NG tube on my partner or allowed it to be done to me. We have mannequins for ALL of the invasive procedures. (NG, Foley, injections, IV)... we did practice...

    Do you think I could get kicked out?

    lifelearningrn replied to w.ross1990's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    In a way it's nice, but on the other hand, you can sometimes spend a long time trying to pick the 'perfect' one. Having one assigned allows you to just jump in, get your info, and get working on that...

    Do you think I could get kicked out?

    lifelearningrn replied to w.ross1990's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I noticed the OP is 21 years old. I think it's easy to forget how young some students are and still learning the ideas of professionalism and ethics. It is completely inappropriate for her to bring...

    Do you think I could get kicked out?

    lifelearningrn replied to w.ross1990's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    "That was another question I had---just where WAS some kind of instructor for these students? (I use plural b/c OP says another student "turned her in") When I was in school ANYTHING you did in a...

    Where do you sit in lecture

    lifelearningrn replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Back row, left side. I can see the power points better from the back than from the front, and I can see everything in the classroom. I HATE having people sitting behind me- I like my back against the...

    What should I do? help!

    lifelearningrn replied to mnurse2345's topic in General Students

    How do you know for sure others that didn't get the 95% got through? Did they tell you first hand or is this a grapevine kind of thing? If it's true, I'd be livid too and consider an attorney. It is...

    LPN. or RN

    lifelearningrn replied to gapeacheykeen's topic in Nursing Career

    This doesn't seem out of the norm for many professions though.. an asscociate's degree has lost it's value in almost every other field.. it seems to me that this is a normal progression. I remember...

    LPN. or RN

    lifelearningrn replied to gapeacheykeen's topic in Nursing Career

    I cant help but think that if people were dogging on ADNs the way people do are are with BNS nurses that there would be a massive uproar. But some how BSN students are fair

    BTW- I think a building super is a great trade and there is just as much potential to make a good living as anything else. If that lights you up, do

    Why did you want to become a nurse/ My Story/Rant

    lifelearningrn replied to jasonc1254's topic in General Students

    One thing that sticks out for me is that you haven't actually said WHY you wanted to go into nursing.. I'm not sure how a second day in chem class told you that denistry wasn't for you but obviously...

    BSN Moms/Students

    lifelearningrn replied to Lola34's topic in General Students

    I just started my BSN program and I have 2 boys, 6 and 8. They are both in elementary school so I don't need all day care. My husband puts them on the bus in the mornings and my neighbor gets them off...

    Grade Inflation in Nursing School

    lifelearningrn replied to Rhapsody86's topic in General Students

    In my BSN program less than 2% of the class got an A in Assessment Across the Life Span- the hardest class in the first semester. My point- BSN programs are just as hard core as ADN programs.. I...

    lifelearningrn posted a topic in School

    In my area BSN is required for a LOT of school nursing jobs. I realize the difference in the scope of practice for LVN/RN at the bedside. What I don't understand is why schools are requiring BSN for...

    Can I be a nurse with a criminal history?

    lifelearningrn replied to recentLPNgrad's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    That will definitely have full access to your records- I had to get Texas BON clearance for nursing school which was a full state and federal background check. I'm not saying don't try, but the...

    Lee College ADN Program

    lifelearningrn replied to cast22's topic in Texas Nursing

    Are you talking about Lee in Baytown, Texas? I've heard through the grapevine it's an excellent ADN program with an easy articulation to BSN through the university in Beaumont. I haven't found any...

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

    They opened a campus in Houston a couple of semesters ago- I heard the ads on the radio every day so I looked into it and immediately crossed it off my list when I saw the pricetag. The tuition for...
