    grpman replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Students

    just wanted to say you often help us newbies with your insight. lol...i think of what you said all the time as i see the person has magically stayed consistent at 20 respirations for the last 3

  2. Easy question - number of sexual partners is this objective or subjective?

    grpman replied to tsm007's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Good thinking. I've had many instructors disagree on careplans and how to do them. The trick is learning what your instructor wants and doing it even if it is wrong to every other instructor in the...

  3. For Fun--Kudos 2 Me...The "toot your own horn" thread

    grpman replied to tammy1974's topic in General Students

  4. Worst Day of School EVER..Please help

    grpman replied to Daisie4100's topic in General Students

    RunforFun...you bring up good points and remind me that there are always two ways to look at a situation. However, if I use your scenario of 5 people in a stolen car then you help prove my point. If...

  5. Worst Day of School EVER..Please help

    grpman replied to Daisie4100's topic in General Students

    If your car is pulled over carrying 5 people and one person has prescription pills in their pocket, the other 4 shouldn't be charged with a crime. The same logic applies here, if your group broke a...

  6. About to start nursing school and need advice from all you lovely nurses out there!!!

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

    I'm no nurse but I am waist deep in nursing school. I personally think it is too big of a subject to study up on before school, but I'm no expert on this. I would say that knowing some normal lab...

    grpman replied to cwilliams6's topic in General Students

    grntea, i enjoy hearing the perspective of someone that was an instructor b/c it gives me a bit of insight into what they deal with. so, it helps me deal with the idiosyncrasies that an instructor...

  8. Womens interest in male nurses

    grpman replied to johny1's topic in Men in Nursing

    There will always be those women that don't like male nurses. Also those women that don't like constructions workers b/c they are dirty, or cops because they're jerks, or pilots because they are...

  9. Help...

    grpman replied to JimmyInTheSticks's topic in Male Nursing Students

    When you figure this one out let all of the other married people know because we've been dying to figure out this dilema. But seriously there aren't many options. One of you can go to school at a...

  11. Nursing Instructor Issues

  12. Worst Day of School EVER..Please help

    grpman replied to Daisie4100's topic in General Students

    Hmmmm...and I thought most nurses possessed problem solving abilities and critical thinking. Your instructor has neither. I don't have the experience to tell you what to do from here, but I'd sure...

  13. Am I crazy?

    grpman replied to LOjesjdatVE's topic in General Students

    I can't relate to everything you will be going through, so I won't give any words of wisdom there. I do however, relate to not wanting to study. I don't think that there are many people that enjoy...

  14. Is there a lot of bullying in nursing?

    grpman replied to sakiohma's topic in General Students

    I've never seen any bullying anywhere. As far as school goes, everyone seems to help each other. I can't tell you how many times someone reminded me concerning all the hoops you have to jump...

  15. New Student Nurse Advice

    grpman replied to FutureNurse112's topic in General Students

    I forgot to mention, I downloaded an NCLEX app to my phone and I go through a few questions whenever I have time. It came complete with a study mode, rationales, and a timer. Pretty cool. Even if...

  16. What is the first thing you are going to buy once you are a nurse?

    grpman replied to Living4Peace's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'll buy a pair of normal scrubs to replace the mandatory, see through, bubble pants I wear to

  17. Discouraged about clinicals

    grpman replied to I<3PedsRN's topic in General Students

    I actually run through mock scenarios before every clinical. I obviously can't see everything that will happen that day, but I do know that every day I'll give meds. I practice what I will say, what...

  18. Will I get kicked out for this?

    grpman replied to missa-almost-RN's topic in General Students

    Some of the more experienced nurses will see this as an ethical dilema, but you shouldn't. Do what your clinical instructor says, when she says it "as long as it is within reason." Many experienced...

    grpman replied to on eagles wings's topic in General Students

    I don't want to make light of the situation b/c there are hefty penalties regarding privacy, but it isn't jail. Learn from it and let your actions in the future make up for the past. You can't...

  21. New Student Nurse Advice

    grpman replied to FutureNurse112's topic in General Students

    The above poster was right on about reviewing NCLEX style questions. I've seen a lot of smart people not do well because they can't answer certain types of questions. Looking over the rationales...

  23. How bad does it look to have 4 C's?

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

    7 A's would be a big step in the right direction and is very possible if you live and breathe school. That would shoot your gpa up hopefully and make you more competitive. It also depends on how the...

    grpman replied to cjeber02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Asking what route is best to become a nurse is one thing. Asking what route is best to become a crna is another. You might get better info if you ask the same question in the advanced practice,...

  25. Nursing school frustrates me

    grpman replied to iNsaNiA's topic in General Students

    Wow...I love the logic here. First, wanting higher than an 80 is reasonable and isn't wanting "absolute perfection." Secondly, since when does stressing over grades equate to stressing over the...
