  1. Public Speaking Anxiety

    grpman replied to nurseforlife2012's topic in General Students

    I'm really curious to hear from you and to see how your day was. Let us

  2. Public Speaking Anxiety

    grpman replied to nurseforlife2012's topic in General Students

    Anxiety disorders run in my family and I so understand what you are talking about. I've had a few issues with anxiety myself. I have one family member who had the same thing happen to her in class...

  3. Failed my OB class. What to do?!

    grpman replied to NOLAgirl2's topic in General Students

    I would consider a good review book. Sometimes the problem can be in how to prioritize material that you need to learn. Most review books do this for you and emphasize what is really important...

  4. Weeding out?

    grpman replied to wantccu's topic in General Students

    I'm surprised this thread hasn't become a diabtribe about "weeding out." Normally instructors can't resist the urge to have a verbal scrap when seeing these two words put

  5. Several things are making me consider dropping nursing school

    grpman replied to samrusrn's topic in General Students

    You either have to learn a skilled trade, take a low paying job with upward mobility, or go to school. Unless you know someone in a high position or marry wealthy, these are your options. I would...

  6. Student Nurse

    grpman replied to HyperHypo1's topic in General Students

    There are some instructors who test from there notes. When I have them I mostly study from their notes. However, I open up that dreaded textbook a lot more when I feel I am not understanding. It is...

  7. Is this a Med Error? I have been kicked from clinical. Help

    grpman replied to nursing?s's topic in General Students

    Why turn in an instructor? This almost never works out for the student's good over time. I try to stay off their radar, do good with grades, and do good in clinicals. Then I stay quiet and worry...

  8. Nursing Student needing ADVICE!

    grpman replied to sarahsather's topic in General Students

    Go to the library and understand that if this is the worst thing you are coping with then all will be well. There are many here who are getting divorced, single with kids, have ill loved ones, work 2...

  9. hi guys i am going to give rn exam in next month ,,, i am doing kaplan qbank

    grpman replied to shergillnav's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Uh...is your glucose a bit

  10. Double standard for men?

    grpman posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    Has anyone else noticed that situations or topics deemed "innapropriate for women" are fair game for men in nursing school? For instance, and I could write for hours, in clinicals the women jokingly...

  11. My first year in nursing school and my first grandchild!

    grpman replied to SC4Nurse2B's topic in General Students

    Congratulations and I hope school goes

  12. Are you Smart enough to be a Nurse?

    grpman replied to ImKosher's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Foolish would be to think I could judge someone on an online forum by anything other than their posts. You were very frank with everyone else, so I was very frank with you. I did not say why I...

  13. Are you Smart enough to be a Nurse?

    grpman replied to ImKosher's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP, your first med-surg class will change your stance or your career choice. But one will change. Judging from your posts...it's 50/50 either

  14. Are you Smart enough to be a Nurse?

    grpman replied to ImKosher's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP, I have a sneaky feeling you are basing your assessment of nursing on A&P I and II, Micro, statistics, algebra, etc. They don't compare to the hurdles or critical thinking that the core...

  15. Are you Smart enough to be a Nurse?

    grpman replied to ImKosher's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The converse of your argument is that entry into the profession doesn't take intelligence or scruples. I do like your sentiment, but I respectfully disagree. I would like to think there is a happy...

  16. Shocked by new grads at job fair

    grpman replied to mclennan's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You seem quite arrogant for someone with only 5 years of experience. I doubt nursing has gone to h*** and lost all dignity and professionalism in the short span of 5 years. How you say something...

  17. How to Survive a Deposition

    grpman replied to VickyRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'll tuck that info in my back pocket.

  18. Shocked by new grads at job fair

    grpman replied to mclennan's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    "He had 10 years experience and was really saddened at how much professionalism and dignity has disappeared from the profession. I agreed." This article has a slight feeling of "I use to walk to...

  19. Clinical Professor From Hell!

    grpman replied to ~Trini~'s topic in General Students

    Trini, congrats on the high scores in the class in spite of what you endured. I imagine all of us come out tougher by enduring the hardships of life. If nothing else, you learned how to handle a...

  20. Oh boy, what was she thinking?!

    grpman replied to uRNmyway's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I thought the post was humorous and thanks for posting. Two people hearing a phone call which ended in a hang up by those that answer many calls seems like enough evidence for me to believe the...

  21. Drop out rate

    grpman replied to JonB04's topic in General Students

    We started with 60 and roughly 20 are left after the first year. However, many of those will retake classes and eventually

  22. Accepted into nursing sxhool, but question about background check.

    grpman replied to kayruhh's topic in General Students

    Not to be a killjoy here, but applying for nursing school with a warrant won't work. Get it taken care of

  23. Diabetic Ketoacidosis??

    grpman replied to garnetgirl29's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Dehydration is an important component of DKA which may lead to dry warm skin. At least that is how I understood

  24. Accepted! Now what?

    grpman replied to mmills63's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Make friends with all of the overachievers and get their phone numbers. I've been bailed out of a few problems b/c of good friends. Oh yeah, study NCLEX books

  25. Reciting nurse's pledge question

    grpman replied to FLNurse2015's topic in General Students

    As a religious person I am trying to place myself in your shoes. I too would find it ridiculous to recite a pledge to something I don't believe in and would leave the phrase out that bothered me....
