  1. Grade Inflation in Nursing School

    anonymousstudent replied to Rhapsody86's topic in General Students

    We have grade deflation (skewed down grading scale, lowest A is a 93, etc), and in my entire time in the program, every class accounted for, 3 questions have been thrown out. That doesn't mean my...

  2. Freaked out and wanting to quit

    anonymousstudent replied to Ctay's topic in General Students

    Fundys almost killed me - I was just bored. I had to drag myself kicking and screaming through it. It gets better, for what it's worth. Hang in

  3. stressing- how do you pay for nursing school

    anonymousstudent replied to CNA2day's topic in General Students

    2K for a computer?! What???? Probably a piece of crap too... Work. Pay as you go. If you don't have enough money, go slowly, and save so that when you actually start the nursing portion of your...

  4. Are there any RELIABLE med-surg study guides?

    anonymousstudent replied to heatherhammy's topic in General Students

    I agree about Davis's Med Surg Success book. It's great. GL

  5. Nurse patient relationship

    anonymousstudent replied to BSCNinprogress's topic in General Students

    You are posting in the student forum.

  6. How are the pregnant students doing?

    anonymousstudent posted a topic in General Students

    I'm out of the first tri, so things are much better. I'm still beyond tired, but so far it hasn't been too bad. And have you told people at school yet? I haven't told anybody! I'm 15 weeks with...

  7. How are the pregnant students doing?

    anonymousstudent replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    Under normal circumstances I'd tell them (normal as in we were going to actually get to have access to lots of things) but they place us on super low need units where I'll be giving baths and pushing...

  8. Time management/coordination of cares/med passes

    anonymousstudent replied to pockunit's topic in General Students

    The hard thing for me is that I really do get my stuff done - but I stand around waiting and waiting and WAITING on my instructor who's helping one of our 2 borderline incompetent students figure out...

  9. Nursing teachers being biased?

    anonymousstudent replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Students

    Teachers here NEVER respond. Ever. It's pathetic. But I know that, so I don't bother anymore. As far as exams, I know it's a lot of material, but if it was assigned, it's fair game. I look through...

  10. Medical Missionary Trips.

    anonymousstudent replied to malenurse03's topic in General Students

    Contact the churches in your area. Look for bigger, non-denoms. The group of churches I attend around here frequently send strictly medical teams - I'm sure they'd be more than glad to have a...

  11. Shy Nurse

    anonymousstudent replied to Leobear73's topic in General Students

    I didn't have this type of anxiety from being shy, but I did have it from feeling incompetent (real & imagined). Maybe what I did will work for you too? Every time I went into clinical, I would...

  12. Do case managers make more than social workers?

    anonymousstudent replied to confused256's topic in General Students

    LISW's have enormous earning potential. Contact an advisor at your school to hash this

  13. are you good at taking tests now? (non-nursing tests)

    anonymousstudent replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    I can't really figure it out. I think that after 1.5 years of reading rationales from NCLEX review books about WHY certain answers should be chosen based on question construction, I'm finally getting...

  14. are you good at taking tests now? (non-nursing tests)

    anonymousstudent posted a topic in General Students

    Not nursing tests - tests in other subjects, generally? I think I've been unknowingly trained to pick out right answers even when I don't have a clue what's going on. Example: For clinical, we had...

  15. is weeks gestation subjective or objective data?

    anonymousstudent replied to loveoutloud's topic in General Students

    It's being based on LMP. Why would that be a subjective? If the patient couldn't remember or something, sure. But if they know the first date of their last period, that's pretty straight

  16. Pharmacology -- help?

    anonymousstudent replied to ExodusPaige66's topic in General Students

    I find that time doesn't matter much in studying. You'll see people who spend "hours and hours" and still do poorly. You have to figure out HOW TO STUDY. Effectively. Pharm was never hard for me,...

  17. Are for-profit nursing schools(U of Phoenix, Chamberlain)good or bad?

    anonymousstudent replied to CNL2B's topic in General Students

    I don't know about the master level programming. I do know that hospitals in my area are no longer hiring ADN's because of the poor results coming out of the proprietary schools around here. It's...

  18. define "cardiac math"

    anonymousstudent replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    Yeah, good point. I guess I better also relearn how to read a strip. Sadly that is gone from my mind. Normal shape? Sure. Why is it normal? No

  19. define "cardiac math"

    anonymousstudent posted a topic in General Students

    I was told I will be tested on cardiac math at some point this term. I had cardiac in med/surg last quarter. Everybody acted like it would be hard. I'm not sure I totally understand what is meant,...

  20. First semester math question..

    anonymousstudent replied to nitrospeed16's topic in General Students

    Just for some encouragement here, can anybody in clinicals site for the OP an example of even once where you saw medication occur in grains? Just get through this kind of calculations and know it -...

  21. the "mean girls" of nursing school

    anonymousstudent replied to loveoutloud's topic in General Students

    Believe it or not - we don't have this contingent at my school. Or maybe we do, and it's just a matter of perspective and I don't notice?

  22. define "cardiac math"

    anonymousstudent replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    yeah, i should ask. they just aren't super receptive to things like this - i would end up feeling really stupid - i learned to shut up and use back roads to get what i need a long time ago. if they...

  23. Evolve Case Studies

    anonymousstudent replied to STRUGGLINGRN STUDENT's topic in General Students

    The oddest thing about this entire post is that the publisher puts almost all of the answers to the Evolve case studies on their site - look them up! Nurses need to be resourceful. Asking for...

  24. Starting 5weeks of mother/baby on monday, ill take any advice!

    anonymousstudent replied to icarr757's topic in General Students

    We had 2 men in our mom/baby clinical, and I believe that each of them was only rejected once the entire 10 weeks. Even if you have a mom who doesn't want a male nurse, there is always plenty to do...

  25. Getting all pre and co reqs done before nursing program

    anonymousstudent replied to rys22's topic in General Students

    Here, (also a CC) you can't even apply to the program until all pre-reqs are completed. They used grades in those courses as part of the weed out process for applicants. I took one course at a time...
