  4. Are C's really the new A's in nursing school?

    Maladroit replied to nursingstudent2458's topic in General Students

    Do your best. Some can get A's easily, while others struggle just to get C's or B's. Usually the ones who say C's are the new A's are the ones who don't read, study, or dedicate much time to

  13. Feelings about Nursing School?!

    Maladroit replied to samiam4's topic in General Students

    I felt like that every time in Med-Surg, but since then I have been fine. It's easy to think like that with the intense patients that have a lot going on. Just remember that you are still learning...

  19. Being badgered by clinical instructors

    Maladroit replied to perfectpractice's topic in General Students

    CI's are SUPPOSED to be putting you on the spot and guaging where your knowledge is (First so they can pass or fail you and second so YOU know where you are). She's not asking you so you know it the...

  25. Dating and nursing school: Is it best to date another student?

    Maladroit replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students
