3. Your first semester/quarter grades

   MU Nursingstudent replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

   I know I wrote I had A's, B and B- lol and I'm sure people that got D's obviously are not in nursing school anymore. Also at my school an A is hard to get, a B has an abnormally large range, and a smaller range for C and the way our grades are calcu...

6. Anyone taken Informatics

   MU Nursingstudent replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

7. Attendance policy at your school

   MU Nursingstudent replied to lelafin's topic in General Students

   Wow thats nuts! You're adults in college..My school could care less if you attend, I mean they say students do better if attending but that we're adults and its our choice. Clinical and lab are different story, those you have to attend.

    MU Nursingstudent replied to maanggohs's topic in Student Assist

    Not sure what you mean..Pain is still pain.. Anyhow if you're asking about charting it then every place is different a little. The hospital I'm at now has a place were you chart your pain assessment and it is in the same area where the vital signs a...

14. My worst fear come true.

    MU Nursingstudent replied to decembergrad2011's topic in General Students

    I'm so sorry for what you're going through. I can see how easy it is to make a mistake during clinicals, the enviroment itself makes it easy. Anyhow, I am thinking in my head about your med error because it seems strange since I don't think we've e...
