  1. I flunked out of clinical today..

    Ayala replied to Student2001's topic in General Students

    You have my deepest sympathies. I flunked out of clinical last week. I did very well in the lecture courses, but got nervous and fumbly while being observed. I'm so depressed I can't even begin to...

    Ayala replied to decembergrad2011's topic in General Students

    Bravo! Well done! There is a special place in everyone's heart for people who bounce back from adversity. Thank you for sharing this wonderful story. There are so many of us who doubt and struggle....

    Ayala replied to mitral's topic in General Students

    Don't mess with Arkansans! One of my best (and toughest) nursing teachers is an Arkansan and a ardent Razorback

  4. Last semester but.. I Hate Nursing!

    Ayala replied to mitral's topic in General Students

    ImThatGuy - I don't know you, but I love you. Are you a Razorback? My mom (85 years old and still working) is a school nurse. Some of the stories she tells me are amazing. It's a very tough job,...

  5. BEWARE: Pace University

    Ayala replied to ZionsWrath's topic in New York Nursing

    From what I've seen, there have been many changes in the CDP program since the original poster started this thread. The CDP program is very demanding, but most of my classmates made it through and...

    Ayala replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

    I'm rooting for you, praying for you, sending positive energy to you. Sometimes you need to see a little karmic hand waving at you. You are not alone. Wish there was an emoticon for this. But you...

    Ayala replied to ThePhilster's topic in General Students

  9. Struggling new student, Advice?

    Ayala replied to Pete77's topic in General Students

    Pete - You are a strong person. If you are into "affirmations" think of some and say them every day. Tape them to your bathroom mirror, put them on the fridge door, etc. I chant to myself "I am happy,...

  10. Time for me to quit

    Ayala posted a topic in General Students

    I am at a turning point now. I worked like hell to get into nursing school. (I already have a degree in biology, but I wanted a career change.) I've been miserable so far. Nursing is not what I...

  11. My girlfriend is afraid that I might meet another girl in the nursing program...

    Ayala replied to ThePhilster's topic in General Students

    I really empathize with both of you. I'm female and married. One of the things I failed to anticipate is how hard my being in nursing school would be on my relationship with my husband. Being a...

  12. Time for me to quit

    Ayala replied to Ayala's topic in General Students

  14. Anybody have experience with taking a Leave of Absence during nursing school?

    Ayala replied to heatherhammy's topic in General Students

    Oh, I relate to the bad experiences! I had a serious head injury and had to take a LOA. Fortunately I managed to outlast the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune and return to the program. My...

  16. Test questions taken directly from random NCLEX book. Unfair?

    Ayala replied to Kboylan1's topic in General Students

    At my school, people vie for the biggest collections of NCLEX study books. Also, people find links to review sites and pass them around. As far as the teachers are concerned, it's all fair game. But...

  17. Criminal Background check

    Ayala replied to loo2006's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    That a real pain. Even the most saintly people I know (no parking tickets, no overdue library books etc.) sometimes find out that the FBI or Homeland Security or the local PD have something on them....

  18. Time for me to quit

    Ayala replied to Ayala's topic in General Students

    These are all great comments and questions! You are helping me think the situation through rationally. Right now my emotions are "running the ship." First of all, after a long career in a variety of...

    A classmate of mine just started her Geriatrics clinical rotation. Her instructor is new to the facility and very nervous. My classmate was supposed to inject an anticoagulant into the abdomen of a...

    Ayala posted a topic in General Students

    This is kind of an extension of the "Another One BitesThe Dust" thread. I did not want to monopolize that discussion with my own problems. I am about to fail Fundamentalsof Nursing because I am...

  22. How many people did you lose?

    Ayala replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    At our school, one in five make it by senior year. It goes without saying that the school's NCLEX pass rate is 98%. The school lives and dies by NCLEX pass

  23. Failing, and it'sall my fault

    Ayala replied to Ayala's topic in General Students

    Tomorrow is the big day. The last couple of weeks have been horrible. Many unforseen circumstances have popped up. I've been practicing, studying, working on the anxiety, etc. But each new day brings...
