  14. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    I will be graduating this May with my BSN at 42 years old. I appreciate the OP's opinion, however I want to be a nurse :) Someone mentioned that many new nurses or soon-to-be graduates state that...
  15. I also feel the email was appropriate. You stated that you arrived to clinical wearing the required clothing and that your appearance was professional. Unlike you, some of your classmates didn't feel...

    It's hard to believe that my senior year is about to start! I am feeling a mixture of excitement and horror! LOL I have worked so hard to get where I am. I am a non-traditional student. I am 41, been...
  22. Psych nursing education group activity?

    The group we did during psych rotation involved the season fall. It was last year in October, so we talked about fall colors and showed them large pictures of fall colors, like trees with orange/brown...
  23. Stressed Out, Last Semester, Home Problems

    I am sorry you are going through this. I'm sure your grandma would want you to succeed and do well in school. I understand that you love her but you need to look at your future as well. I'm sorry I do...
  24. Failed MedSurg

    Med Surg II was my most difficult class so far. I am usually an A/B student, but found myself with a C- toward the middle of the semester. That is not a passing grade and I was terrified that I would...
  25. During pre-reqs I NEVER read a page of any textbook and passed with all A's by studying notes and powerpoints. My first year of the nursing program I did the same and passed with all A's and B's. The...
