    DawnCaprice replied to flying_ace2's topic in General Students

    We had to buy ours from Dove. If I remember correctly for 1 top and 1 bottoms it was $53.00. That included all embroidery and shipping. A lab coat is optional. If we want to wear a shirt under it has...

  11. Clinicals start Monday

    DawnCaprice replied to DawnCaprice's topic in General Students

    I survived my first day of clinicals. YAY!!! The nurse I was assigned to never even said "Boo" to me. I never once spoke to her. When I introduced myself she said hello and then I never saw her...

  12. Non accredited school

    DawnCaprice replied to bargraphix's topic in General Students

    All the job posting that I see in my area say nothing about school, they say "FL Licensed Registered Nurse". Doesn't say anything about an AS degree or BS degree. Sometimes they require at least one...

  15. Appearance?

    DawnCaprice replied to TheBerriGirl's topic in General Students

    I can only speak for my nursing school and we are not allowed to have any tattoos showing. They must be covered. We also have to have our hair colored in a natural hair color, pulled off the face. We...

  16. Normal nursing grades..

    DawnCaprice replied to katestudentnurse's topic in General Students

    In my school a C is failing. You have to have at least an 80% (B) to move on to the next class. Most students are high B's. Good luck to you. Just remember to do the best you can do!

  17. It's getting real!

    DawnCaprice replied to Racer15's topic in General Students

    Congratulations!

  18. I did a dumb thing today and learned a lesson

    DawnCaprice replied to DawnCaprice's topic in General Students

    That is a bit harsh don't you think? I am fully aware that everyone talks to everyone in my school. There is no number to be had. What I guess I left out of the first post was I was NOT offended by...

  19. I did a dumb thing today and learned a lesson

    DawnCaprice posted a topic in General Students

    I confronted one of my instructors today. I was NOT very tactful in the way I handled myself. I have been bothered/annoyed by this instructor for 2 quarters now and today was our final. I received my...

  20. I did a dumb thing today and learned a lesson

    DawnCaprice replied to DawnCaprice's topic in General Students

    This instructor was told/asked to not continually use that language. What he would do is use foul langauage and then agree that he knows it bothers us. Still I agree that it does not make what I did...

  21. Fundamrntals HESI

    DawnCaprice replied to Medic24's topic in General Students

    I made a 877 on my Fundamental HESI. Our school wants a 850. We were told to study a HESI NCLEX-RN Examination book. It helped me a little, but we are fortunate we get some HESI styled questions on...

    DawnCaprice replied to DawnCaprice's topic in General Students

    Thank you MedChica and everyone for your words. I have given what happen yesterday A LOT of thought. I am going to use this as a lesson. I am by far a meek and mild girl. But I do need to learn the...

    DawnCaprice replied to RN_Indya's topic in Florida Nursing

    Nothing to be nervous about. If you just go to class, take notes and stay interested you should do fine. All the instructors seem to be very friendly and available to assist when needed. Good luck...

  24. What do you think about the media portrayal of nursing?

    DawnCaprice replied to sierrag's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I just went the Truthaboutnursing.com website and I have to be honest that I think that I have never thought that much about how nurses are being protrayed in tv shows or commercials. I am not at...

  25. Are you able to see tests after grading?

    DawnCaprice replied to futurenurse2014's topic in General Students

    We can meet with our instructor one on one to see our exam/quizzes. I don't like it either. I want to see what I missed and have time to review what I missed to learn from my mistakes. I think they...
