  1. How does a Straight B student Survive an Accelerated Nursing School World?

    2ndyearstudent replied to RunawayN's topic in General Students

    I think your description is the stated goal but that many programs fail miserably at it. I strongly suspect some lazy or unskilled instructors have leaned on creating deceptive questions rather...

  2. Help! How do I make it through Nursing school even though I hate it?!

    2ndyearstudent replied to steven007's topic in General Students

    For heaven's sake quit RIGHT now and go get your Medical Lab Tech cert! If you really want a degree, switch to biology or something. You think you hate it now? It will get much worse! You are only...

  3. Omg math problems fail

    2ndyearstudent replied to Darkpk55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would suggest you go to your guidance counselor or office and describe the issues you are having in exactly the same terms you describe above. They may very well have some resources to help

  4. How does a Straight B student Survive an Accelerated Nursing School World?

    2ndyearstudent replied to RunawayN's topic in General Students

    The curriculum is designed so everyone has trouble with it. Everyone has to work hard just to get a C (which is a perfectly fine grade in nursing school.) The good news for you is that it ends up...

  5. Overachievers and All Star Students

    2ndyearstudent replied to *4!#6's topic in General Students

    I think this is the key for some of us. We are calm and relaxed because we enjoyed the ride. I get frustrated by some things (exam structure) in nursing school, but overall I really do enjoy it. I...

  6. Please help!!! I am new to all of this!!!

    2ndyearstudent replied to jessicaBSN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "I just read something that said you had to have an RN first before getting a BSN. Is that really the case?" No. "I didnt want to have to go to one school, take the RN state test, then go back to...

  7. AP 100 question..?

    2ndyearstudent replied to windmill182's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What is your professor's name and where does he or she teach? I'd love to have a little conversation with this

  8. AP 100 question..?

    2ndyearstudent replied to windmill182's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The important thing is that you will rely heavily on what you learn in A&P in nursing school. My classmates who took A&P as a, "Get it over with then forget everything about it" exercise pay...

  9. priority nursing questions

    2ndyearstudent replied to Amber0515's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have an instructor who loves making "call the physician" the right answer. But he's kind of a

  10. Nurse Aide Positions Geared Toward Psyche?

    2ndyearstudent replied to Enlightenedchild's topic in General Students

    I worked in on the TCU, Dementia, and Bariatric floors of a LTC/Rehab facility. I got more psych experience there than I ever will in my upcoming Psych rotation. The bariatric floor was basically a...

  11. Just wondering how is the second year of RN school?

    2ndyearstudent replied to chickapea's topic in General Students

    Sorry I cannot give you a pep talk and my comments apply only to my community college program. So far, the second year of my two year program has been a bit hellish. It feels like the instructors are...

  12. Put on probation first time administering meds

    2ndyearstudent replied to lilykiss6's topic in General Students

    Exactly right. And not everyone gets through nursing school. My program was the same way, you didn't know the drugs, you don't get to administer them. Not everyone was perfect in my class, but...

  13. Please don't judge me...I need advice please.

    2ndyearstudent replied to layla100's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First, please tell us you corrected the situation that caused you problems in your other anatomy classes. If you don't address that, there is no use going forward. I was in a similar situation....

  14. Get the question right and lose a point!!

    2ndyearstudent replied to cutenurse2b_1's topic in General Students

    You didn't lose a point; the question was thrown from the test. The question never existed. You never got it right and you never got it wrong. Think of it this way: There are 5 other questions that...

  15. is a BSN going to soon be required?

    2ndyearstudent replied to JeniRN's topic in General Nursing

    I used to wonder about that too - I have a bachelor's in mechanical engineering. However, I now strongly suspect my experience in internships, preceptorships, LTC, and Home Care will strongly...

  16. is a BSN going to soon be required?

    2ndyearstudent replied to JeniRN's topic in General Nursing

    "Get a BSN within ten years - which we will be happy to pay for - or you will be fired." I can live with

  17. Help! Cannot memorize my lab values

    2ndyearstudent replied to roseannking's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The first set of these is daunting but you will get them due to sheer repetition. Try this: Make 6 flash cards with the name on one side and the value on the other. Go through them. Each time you get...

  18. Can anyone explain the logic behind nursing exam questions?

    2ndyearstudent replied to Angitia's topic in General Students

    As others have suggested - you absolutely need to get a Kaplan or Saunders book that has NCLEX strategies. It helps a

  19. ACE Inhibitors - why do they want to increase renin? HELP, please!

    2ndyearstudent replied to Aim2Nurse's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The renin is released for a reason. If you interrupt the process that might inhibit release of renin (RAA), it will continue to be released, increasing plasma levels. It would be nice if ACE...

  20. What is YOUR opinion on nursing school exams?

    2ndyearstudent replied to Frazzled_One's topic in General Students

    Different people are different? Wow, that's

  21. What is YOUR opinion on nursing school exams?

    2ndyearstudent replied to Frazzled_One's topic in General Students

    I found your post to be derogatory and offensive. You love it and it's funny when someone suffers? How nice for you. I also complained about my exam and I also did fine. But I questioned the purpose...

  22. What is YOUR opinion on nursing school exams?

    2ndyearstudent replied to Frazzled_One's topic in General Students

    I should probably wait until I cool off before posting this, but oh well. I just took the second exam of the semester and it left me scratching my head and thinking some of the same thoughts you...

  23. The NOC shift doesn't wake up ANYONE in the morning...is this normal?

    2ndyearstudent replied to emily_ganshert's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The NOC shift at my facilty leaves at 6am. They better not be waking anybody

  24. Clinicals - Is this normal?

    2ndyearstudent replied to Tallync's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You are correct about the OP whining about the CNA leaving the student alone to do a bed bath. If the student felt uncomfortable, he or she can grab the instructor. Besides, you should be able to...

  25. How do you make the statement "I want to help people." sound not so cliché?

    2ndyearstudent replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sure. But you need to describe how you have, or would, or want to help
