  1. Wiping off IV ports

    grownuprosie replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    My lab instructor is rabid about keeping our education up with research. Could you point me to those studies to show her? I am sure she would be interested.

  2. Don't know what to do

    grownuprosie replied to kntdoneyet's topic in General Students

    Have you tried the financial aid department? I mean going in and talking to them? There are always loan options out there and they are a great source to find out about them. Also, talk to your school...

  3. Do you feel like a failure when you don't get the job you interviewed for?

    grownuprosie replied to loveoutloud's topic in General Students

    I am nervous about this too. I have never not gotten the job I have interviewed for in my life before nursing. When i graduate next year, I am going to have to learn not to take it personally. I know...

  4. Did you lose any students?

    grownuprosie replied to mscjackson35's topic in General Students

    These people are not necessarily who I am talking about. I mean the ones that fail beyond the second chance window. At my school, you get a second chance. If you fail again, you are out. I think this...

  5. Nursing Diagnosis Label

    grownuprosie replied to calgrrl's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Wow, you got AN royalty here fast! Esme12 and GrnTea, you guys rock. That is all I had to say. Please

  6. Did you lose any students?

    grownuprosie replied to mscjackson35's topic in General Students

    I wonder if any data is collected on the students who fail out. I know this sounds harsh, but it would be better for everyone if they never made it in the first place. It would make room for people...

  8. Failed Fundamentals Clinical.

    grownuprosie replied to studentnursekathleen's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It is too late to change what happened already. Don't fret about because there is nothing you can do about the past. For the future, I agree with classicdame. Fake it till you make it. Instructors...

  9. Group Work

    grownuprosie replied to RNbethy's topic in General Students

    I would talk to your instructor and see if you can get your grade independently. Try to communicate on trackable sources like email. Also, it might be worth it to put your project into something like...

  10. Missed a day of clinical. Feeling like a bum...

    grownuprosie posted a topic in General Students

    I have been fighting a sore throat, cough, and congestion for weeks. This morning, I could barely breath. I called into my instructor that I could not come in. I have never missed a lecture or...

  11. Missed a day of clinical. Feeling like a bum...

    grownuprosie replied to grownuprosie's topic in General Students

    Thank for the responses. I just heard from a classmate that all of our pts were discharged early this morning, so there was nothing to do after 11 anyway. That plus your responses make me feel a...

  12. Did you lose any students?

    grownuprosie replied to mscjackson35's topic in General Students

    WOW some of you lost a lot! I am in the third quarter of an ADN program. we have lost 6/34 originals. I know another three that are about to fail. There is one more test left, but some are already in...

  14. School's hidden agenda, "NCLEX pass rate: Weed out students who will not pass"

    grownuprosie replied to Bala Shark's topic in General Students

    If this conversation is even happening in front of a student, it is probably because the school is in close to that 75% mark. In which case, they should be busting their a$$ to get the score up so...

  15. School's hidden agenda, "NCLEX pass rate: Weed out students who will not pass"

    grownuprosie replied to Bala Shark's topic in General Students

    This is exactly how my school does it. The top 60 TEAS scores are admitted as long as they have a 3.0 or higher in all the

  16. School's hidden agenda, "NCLEX pass rate: Weed out students who will not pass"

    grownuprosie replied to Bala Shark's topic in General Students

    What you are describing here is called nursing school. Also, no sympathy here for missing lecture. There is no excuse, short of loss of life or

  17. Why many new grads don't find jobs....

    grownuprosie replied to MN-Nurse's topic in General Students

    Logic would say that your wife should have taken the woman to the bathroom or at the least gotten a bed pan if for whatever reason she was not allowed to ambulate pt's yet. She went to CNA school. She...

  18. How far do you travel to get to work?

    grownuprosie replied to born2circulateRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Apply! don't under estimate the economy. My classmates and I are talking about commuting over a hundred miles away and crashing on couches through craigslist for our first year just to get experience....

  19. When to ask for letters of recommendation

    grownuprosie posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am a first year student. I am thinking that I should be asking for letters of recommendation from clinical instructors right after they have me as a student, rather than when I start looking for a...

    grownuprosie replied to ittybittynurse's topic in Oncology

    i had to read this twice. The first time I thought, why is she tasting her pts mouths? I get it

  24. A rolling suitcase....really???

    grownuprosie replied to OgreAchiever's topic in General Students

    I don't think a rolling pack is necessary. Get to know the other people in your class. Each one of you bring a book. I do have a bias against rolling packs though. They tend to be too bulky to get...

  25. Word to the wise......do your homework

    grownuprosie replied to TerpGal02's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I know, right? I bet though that the key words their software searches for in resumes are the ones in their mission statement. Anybody know if my guess is
