  1. Just completed my first nursing class....

    grownuprosie replied to ivikatasha's topic in General Students

    @ /username, I love it. someone should have said that to me the way i was acting this week. OP, I know exactly how you feel! I was lazy and went to a b-day party the night before my first test in 2nd...

  2. help with interferring classmate

    grownuprosie replied to SC APRN's topic in General Students

    The issue here is pt safety. whether or not this person is on probation in clinical is not relevant. This reminds me of something that happened in my first quarter. The other students were taking the...

  3. Grade Inflation in Nursing School

    grownuprosie replied to Rhapsody86's topic in General Students

    while it is absolutely not the OP's fault, this just frustrates me. All this accomplishes is that the people who go to schools with inflated grades, get into the masters programs with their "A". I,...

  4. Help with High School courses

    grownuprosie replied to futurenurse1248's topic in General Students

    Looking into universities and CCs in my area, i have never seen one with Physics as a pre-req. Bio, on the other hand, is required for all. Same deal with statistics vs. trig. No where requires trig,...

  5. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    grownuprosie replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    1) Do not preface everyone of your 50 questions with a cutsie version of, "Maybe this is a stupid question" just so the instructor will boost your ego and say that is it not. She is paid to say that....

  6. Quit work for nursing school?

    grownuprosie replied to Luckynumber9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Since the pre-reqs for nursing were probably not the same as your Business asscoiates, i am assuming you will have some to do before applying to nursing school. What i did was worked full time while...

  7. is weeks gestation subjective or objective data?

    grownuprosie replied to loveoutloud's topic in General Students

    It was my understanding that anything that follows the phrase, "Pt states..." or "Per pt..." is subjective. In my head anyway, LMP is one of those statements. There are lots of reasons why mom might...

  8. New nursing student question...what do you use to carry all these books?!

    grownuprosie replied to TiffTiff's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I just pictured carrying all of my nursing textbooks at once. They take up an entire shelf on my bookshelf, about 3 1/2 ft of text books! I would not have a bag big

  9. She actually said it! Yay for my instructor!

    grownuprosie replied to grownuprosie's topic in General Students

    I think the difference for me is that if the instructor is talking about HF, her stories will be concise and relevent stories about HF. When you see a hand shoot up in my class, it is 50/50 whether...

  10. She actually said it! Yay for my instructor!

    grownuprosie posted a topic in General Students

    The other day my instructor asked us to anonymously answer some questions about the class. A few days later she opens class with, "It has come to my attention that there have been many off topic...

  11. Getting into BSN program with existing BA degree.....

    grownuprosie replied to penelope's weave's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Alot of schools have expiration dates for the sciences. They must be no older than 5 years. So, your old Chem grade may not matter anyway just due to age. You should definately check with the school...

  12. She actually said it! Yay for my instructor!

    grownuprosie replied to grownuprosie's topic in General Students

    I know that the class appreciated having a voice. I hope your students appreciate it as much as I

  13. Native American Indian beliefs on childbirth/pregnancy

    grownuprosie replied to tmd963's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    since it is a school assignment, i am going to bet that they just drew that culture from a hat. It may have nothing to do with their regions demographics. We had a similar assignment in my class. The...

  14. are NS admissions really objective?

    grownuprosie posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If a school states that admissions are based solely on an objective set of numbers and a finite set of rules, (GPA, or the TEAS, or a point system, etc.) can you be dennied on any other grounds? **I...

  15. Recording lecture ? HELP :)

    grownuprosie replied to lvnibclc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Two things you can do as i see it. 1) turn off all of the radios to your phone and set it to record like you would a recorder. explain it to your instructor though. They would probably be curious why...

  16. New nursing student question...what do you use to carry all these books?!

    grownuprosie replied to TiffTiff's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I also rarely take my books to school. I only bring my binder. I would wait on buying a pricey backpack until you know if you are going to need to cart them around. I have a $9 basic canvas pack with...

  17. Does your class have a facebook page?

    grownuprosie replied to RedChair's topic in General Students

    I started a google group for my class. It works well for quick questions and the like. I dont intend to friend everyone in my class so the FB option did not sound good to

  18. Does RN-BSN programs have more "old" people???

    grownuprosie replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    1)Not counting pre-reqs, my 2 year ADN program will cost me $9,000. There is no way I could pay that little at a university (in my neighborhood anyway). I will walk out of my RN-BSN program with no...

  19. Things You Know Now (And Wish You'd Known Then!)

    grownuprosie replied to x_factor's topic in General Students

    Dont over think it! Do what the assignment says! Brevity is your friend. If the assignment says, "Make a ten minute or less presentation regarding the following 10 points", Don't cite 15 articles and...

  20. what are you doing during the break?

    grownuprosie replied to SC APRN's topic in General Students

    I have read three books, which i am supre proud of. Also, working 43 hours/wk, so making some money to feed myself over the next 6 months. But, having to wear business casual every day is killing me....

  21. Can a Nursing student cover an MA?

    grownuprosie posted a topic in General Students

    So, here is the deal: I work per-diem at an outpt clinic covering the reception desk. I have worked at this clinic for almost 4 years now and know all of it's systems inside and out. I hold a CNA...

  22. I pay to hear the instructor... not your stories (rant. beware)

    grownuprosie posted a topic in General Students

    How can i get the students in my class to stop telling stories and giving personal examples of every single thing we discuss? It is driving me insane. Our lectures with a particular instructor...

  23. Stupid things said by your non-nurse significant other

    grownuprosie replied to Moogie's topic in Nursing Humor

    The BF and I are settling into bed. he tickles my arm. I giggle and say, "stay out of my antecubital Fossa." To which, he responds, "Quit making up

  24. Do you feel prepared for a suicide threat?

    grownuprosie posted a topic in General Nursing

    I work for a out pt clinic and the policy for a caller threatening suicide is to get the nearest RN or MD and have them talk to the pt. I start nursing school in the fall, so it got me wondering....

  25. Do you feel prepared for a suicide threat?

    grownuprosie replied to grownuprosie's topic in General Nursing

    I just want to add: I cannot figure out how to edit my origional post. I re-read it and it sounded a little condescending. i just want everybody to know that it was NOT AT ALL meant to sound like...
