  1. Overwhelmed....will it always be like this?

    cogath replied to FLhusker's topic in General Students

    Yes, it will most likely always be like that. I went through each week thinking the next week couldn't possibly be worse, and it did get worse. But you learn to cope with it. I didn't even purchase...

  2. Do I need this for nursing school?

    cogath replied to StangGang92's topic in General Students

    I didn't need a skeleton, clipboard, etc :) Nothing fancy here. I'm using a computer that is 5 years old. Don't even have a smart phone. My basic supplies are pens, highlighters, binders, and loose...

  3. What would you have done?

    cogath replied to digoe74's topic in General Students

    Ratted him out to the teacher right away. That's not ethical behavior, and people work hard to get into nursing school. Just one less person for competition. I'm ruthless like that though. Good for...

  6. May not finish last year of school?

    cogath replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    Can you talk to your school? My school has a form for students with extreme circumstances such as yours that they take into consideration for financial aide. I bet even talking to them might be...

  7. "Students with good grades = not good clinical nurses"

    cogath posted a topic in General Students

    I am SICK of this stereotype. Never in any of my college career, not even my previous degree program, have I ever felt so ostrasized and punished for having good grades. Where on earth did people get...

  8. "Students with good grades = not good clinical nurses"

    cogath replied to cogath's topic in General Students

    I've worked as a UAP for 2+ years, not that that means anything. But it has given me experience working with patients. I love caring for people and have experience so sometimes my newer co-workers...

  10. "Students with good grades = not good clinical nurses"

    cogath replied to cogath's topic in General Students

    I don't care what professors say or think about me, I strive to be respectful and professional in all situations at school. I don't tell anyone my grades anymore because it's uncomfortable, I just...

  11. "Students with good grades = not good clinical nurses"

    cogath replied to cogath's topic in General Students

    This stereotype is just hurting people more then anything. There is a very apparent bias in my program. The program does not want students who do well or get "all A's" on their tests as...

  12. What was your first year of nursing school like?

    cogath replied to linzjane88's topic in General Students

    Congrats, I am finishing up my first year of a BSN program and it is CRAZY. Nothing can prepare you for it. It will change you in ways you can't anticipate. This has felt like the longest year of my...

  14. How do you incorporate faith into your daily nursing tasks?

    cogath replied to orangepink's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I am an atheist, and the way I incorporate my lack of faith is respect, acceptance, caring, and nonjudgemental attitude. I do not make assumptions and I respect all people regardless of their faith. I...

  15. 100% on my exam and it wasn't exciting... :(

    cogath replied to NICURN2013's topic in General Students

    One time I had written a grocery list on the back of my hand and forgotten we had to take a test. Well of course I got accused of cheating later behind my back because I got good grades and the people...

  20. Better Option: Pregnant in nursing school/after

    cogath replied to Pa0428's topic in General Nursing

    I am thinking about this too. I don't want to be pregnant in nursing school but being pregnant and getting a job, or taking maternity leave soon within when you get hired, is something that I'm...

    cogath replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students
