  1. Entire class failed 1st OB exam

    PickMePlze posted a topic in General Students

    And the majority of the student scores were in the lower 70s, upper 60s. To pass an exam at our school, you must make a 80%. Even some of the students with stellar grades failed. We all studied...

    PickMePlze replied to PickMePlze's topic in General Nursing

    It may have been my old unit, but the culture I remember from almost a year ago has changed quite a bit, which is why I was shocked to see this happening. To see inexperienced people over a unit of...

    PickMePlze posted a topic in General Students

    Today I went in to do an assessement of a patient. I knocked, didn't get a response, and peeked in. The room is completely dark and I ask to turn the light on. The patient turns the light on and he...

    PickMePlze replied to jamonit's topic in First Year After Licensure

    PickMePlze posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new grad and I've been working where I am for almost a year. I work 7-7 days. One of my main reasons I'm throwing in the towel on this job is be because of the 6:00 admits, ER, or some other...

    PickMePlze replied to PickMePlze's topic in General Nursing

    PickMePlze replied to OURN83's topic in General Students
