    Med test policy?

    Clovery replied to Clovery's topic in General Students

    So if it's before the semester starts, and you fail, you can drop the course for a refund? The problem with how they do it at my school is by the time you're on the 3rd attempt, it's past the point...

    Does anyone feel like giving me any input on my completed homework assignment?

    Clovery replied to jenannebeard's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    it comes across mostly as a *****-fest/rant about your current job. imo you should scrap it and write about a positive experience you've had with someone in a leadership/mgmt position. it's way too...

    this would get my teacher's face all red and my paper literally thrown back in my face. you need an ampersand not the word "and". "et al" is incorrect. it is (bozo et al., 1985) al. is an...

    we always give our clinical instructors a gift. if nothing stands out as something they're into, then we do a nice body wash/bath salts/lotion/hand lotion set. Bath and Body Works always has good...

    We had 2 "lab-based clinicals" prior to our first on-site clinical. We went over basic skills like making beds, feeding, types of diets, bed pans, helping with ADLs, lifts and other assistive...

    Swearing: hugely unprofessional, mildly irritating or a normal part of speech.

    Clovery replied to loveoutloud's topic in General Students

    I don't really have a problem with curse words. Of course I would never use them around patients or my instructors, but around my peers it's the norm to use an occasional profane word. Sometimes my...

    Grade Inflation in Nursing School

    Clovery replied to Rhapsody86's topic in General Students

    My fundamentals instructor would sometimes throw a question out if a certain percentage of students got it wrong (I think 75% or more) and she felt it was an ambiguous question. She would then keep...

    I am doing a critical research project and would be grateful of ideas

    Clovery replied to missvikki's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How about therapies for smoking cessation? I don't have time to do any research into it, but I imagine there are tons of studies on this. You could look at nicotine replacement alone vs. nicotine...

    Admissions Essay Assistance Appreciated:)

    Clovery replied to DarkLotus's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with this except don't try to eliminate the "I" statements. While it's unacceptable for a research paper or even a book report, an admissions essay asks you to talk about yourself so it's...

    "Free" books & CD programs online

    Clovery posted a topic in General Students

    I'm wondering how many nursing students actually go to the web to download copies of books and CD programs, or even share electronic resources with their peers. It's fairly easy to type a search into...

    Clovery replied to foreverLaur's topic in General Students

    We use blackboard too. Or, we did. I was just starting to get used to testing on the computer and now my current instructor uses paper tests for this semester. So now we have to wait for our grades...

    Male nurses student and skipping OB/L&D clinicals

    Clovery replied to Jfarmboy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    You will probably start out your clinicals at a nursing home or med-surg floor, assisting with ADLs. There will be female patients, and hopefully your instructor won't do you the disservice of always...

    Clovery replied to OwlieO.O's topic in Men in Nursing
