  1. Poor GPA :( any RN programs?!

    coco.nut replied to PixiB's topic in General Students

    It all depends on the school. At mine you can retake them and the lower grade does not count against you when calculating the NS admission GPA. But again this varies from school to school, so you...

  2. A rolling suitcase....really???

    coco.nut replied to OgreAchiever's topic in General Students

    Regarding digital copies: great for class, but I would not want to bring my laptop to a clinical site. Sadly things (food, books, stethoscopes) grow legs

  3. How RUDE can you be??

    coco.nut replied to aachavez's topic in General Students

    Sleeping through lecture? Knows it ll already? You might not have to worry about her for very long Also, you haven't started clinicals yet. You can get by with this junk in lecture, but it won't (or...

  4. Poor GPA :( any RN programs?!

    coco.nut replied to PixiB's topic in General Students

    My school only looks at GPA from the required pre-req classes and assigns points ( A=4, B=3, etc). Applicants are then sorted according to GPA, then according too the number of points. While a 2.5...

  5. A rolling suitcase....really???

    coco.nut replied to OgreAchiever's topic in General Students

    Something like these will do : rolling backpack - Walmart.com Personally, to class I take my power point and maybe my book for that class (abt half the time). I think it would be more useful for...

  6. Getting a C in Nursing

    coco.nut replied to Annachu512's topic in General Students

    GPA is important, sure. But, if you think you should quit a career path because you might/did get a C in your very first nursing course, you are not going to get much accomplished in life. Certainly...

  7. 3.9 GPA, cant pass Nursing school tests!???

    coco.nut replied to fleurafor's topic in General Students

    There are books specifically written to explain how to take nursing exams, if you don't have one, I'd suggest getting one asap. I didn't get a book, but we had a short "how-to" class offered before...

  8. I don't get it

    coco.nut replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

    If I could go back in time, I'd get my BSN fresh out of high school, parent funded and all that good stuff Slightly older now, I chose the ADN because my school is in the top 4 NCLEX pass rates in...

  9. My school is notorious

    coco.nut replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    The exams may be overly hard, but I am also curious as to the entrance criteria? Some schools use lotteries if you meet the min reqs, others have high GPAs that are set by the students admitted in the...

  10. Nurses see us coming for clinical and RUN away from us. Irritating!

    coco.nut replied to thawk28's topic in General Students

    In my own program and from others in different one's I've talked with, the instructor has all the responsibility for pulling meds and supervising the students at all times. I don't think it is the...

  11. My fellow nursing students

    coco.nut replied to guest042302019's topic in General Students

    I (and the rest of my class!) would LOVE to have something small to do that would allow us to earn a few points. In my program we only recieve points for exams. We don't have busy work or weekly...

  12. waiting lists at community colleges

    coco.nut replied to ginaw623's topic in General Students

    Mine is also points based. I appreciate this criteria as it means we have a grade standard for admission that increases every year (based on applicant GPAs). This allows for a high NCLEX pass rate and...

  13. instructor says nursing is not for me..

    coco.nut replied to Orlette's topic in General Students

    Fltnrse2, Posting in a public place is eliciting advice from strangers, that was the purpose. She also had feedback from her instructors and those that know her, which I agree is most likely better...

  14. instructor says nursing is not for me..

    coco.nut replied to Orlette's topic in General Students

    This sounds like you are reading them their rights. That is not what pts need. If logic was the answer to curing health problems.... It seems you've been having problems functioning in clinicals for...

  15. instructor says nursing is not for me..

    coco.nut replied to Orlette's topic in General Students

    Try to remember that while it may feel awkward to ask questions about their family, you are asking even more personal questions during your assessment. Also keep in mind that people in the hospital...

  16. How to run a Study Group?

    coco.nut replied to sjmagri's topic in General Students

    In my group we bring our lecture notes, nclex practice books, the text book and the accompaning study guide. We go through each section pertaining to the exam and answer questions. If one of us...

  17. Awaiting a Nursing Decision from Lancaster General

    coco.nut replied to girlswcurls's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    My school had dates listed for when the letters would be sent out on school's web site. My acceptance letter came in a large envelope along with information and forms to fill out. Rejection letters...

  18. Am i fully to blame for this or did my mentor act complacement.

    coco.nut replied to tinkerbell419's topic in United Kingdom

    I'm really quite shocked at your replies to everyone. If you were at my school you would have been immediately taken off the floor, failed clinical and likely removed from the program for several...

  19. Am i fully to blame for this or did my mentor act complacement.

    coco.nut replied to tinkerbell419's topic in United Kingdom

    I don't understand why you would give a med without knowing what it was for. If you are allowed to pass meds alone, then it is entirely your fault that this occured. Even if your instructor was...
