It obviously is regional because we do take evidence-based research nursing as well the other sciences that I previously wrote about in this thread that I took. No we didn't take a "special" chemistry or microbiology. We had to take the same ones t...

I'm always amazed by this. It must be other states are like this because where I live its not like that. As pre-req's I had to take organic chemistry, general chemistry, REAL microbiology (now the community colleges require a health something no la...

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...

Welll c'mon at least you can choose if you'ld like to look at the wall or computer screen hahahahah seriously????? Thats crazy and sad that even adults are treated that way. Sad that there is that much distrust.......They are kinda like that though,...

That may be... I'm in a BSN program.

Ughhhhh that was the easiest and most boring class I think I took. We looked at informatics in lots of health-care aspects, such as: phone diagnostics for people at home, robotic surgery, virtual learning and lots more super exciting stuff like that...

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.

I can never count because we always seem to gain so many students. I don't know about the class in front of is.....I know we've lost 1 or 2 a semester but seems like we 5 or more from the class ahead of us!

I had a B+, A, A, and B-

I bought a nice lil pair of scissors taht are small and work better then the hospital ones and I love em. I use them all the time at the hospital for wound care which seems to be everyone. They cost me 10 bucks so they're worth it to me. :)I guess my...

I secondf and third the gift cards to starbucks..also nice bandage scissors not the big huge ones that my school had us buy that couldnt fit in ur scrubs but i bought some nice smaller metal ones. I also liked having the little RN notes and drug guid...

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...

We started clinicals in our second semester and we do lots and lots. Med.'s, injections, cath's, tube feedings, wound dressing changes, watched hemodialysis and a hepatic stent placement, central line dressing change, enema, assessments, trach. suct...

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...

not well

Awww, not my place to chime in but I can't help but reminisce. I was reading and writing on these threads this time last year. I remember the anticipation, every week waiting to start like a year :) Then I started and time has just absolutely flown...

ahhhhhh i'm intrigued

We had A and P together but there a few schools by me that do them seperate as well. Even though mine was together they still were taught seperate and I found anatomy to be the easiest because it was just a lot of memorization which I am pretty good...

There is a huge difference between being an instructor being tough on a student and creating an enviroment where students become so intimidated by their instructors that they cannot even ask simple questions. I don't know that you were replying to m...

Wow, I have to completely agree with the post above me. It's not okay and it doesn't help anyone learn better in an enviroment were you are scared to ask questions for fear of standing out and making things worse. IK have always respected authority...

I understand that it is ind of like gossiping but I honestly don't feel like talking to your sister who doesn't even know the people that she's talking about is really gossip. She's not spreading stuff around school just venting to her sister who i...

Hahhaa I was just watching that the other day :) I used to watch it with my aunt when I was little because she would always watch it cause she's a paramedic.

Relax and enjoy! I know it's hard though, I was so excited to start I didn't enjoy my time before starting at all! I wish I had though because it's so stressful I don't have a lot of time to do as much as I used to. Do a lot of fun things and get an...

I hope everything works out for you! I know its hard and it may be a good idea to look around if you have other schools near beause a lot of schools do have that rule about forgiving past grades so if the school you're at doesn't it may be a good id...

Congratulations!!!!!!!! That is wonderful and good luck!! :dncgbby:
