    Grade venting!

    SopranoKris replied to elijahvegas's topic in General Students

    I hear ya! I've been doing very well on my nursing school exams (98%, 100% & 94% so far :) ) It's hard work and you certainly don't want to run around the room saying "woo hoo, I did it!", but...

    1st Semester Nursing Student FAILED my first exam

    SopranoKris replied to mcpvilchis's topic in General Students

    You also need to remember that nursing school tests require you to synthesize information, rather than just answer knowledge-based questions. You have to think about what the question is asking and...

    Dismissed from nursing school...fought back and won in court!

    SopranoKris replied to 28studentsfailed's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry, but I hope these "passed but failed" students can't pass the NCLEX because it frightens me to think someone with subpar knowledge could be a functional nurse. And if OP failed even with a...

    UGH!!!!! Leave me alone, I'm trying to study!!!!

    SopranoKris replied to LoriRNCM's topic in General Students

    Print out a weekly calendar with your study time clearly delineated on it so he can SEE when you have time blocked out for school & studying. Go over it with him and hang it on the fridge (or...

    Dismissed from nursing school...fought back and won in court!

    SopranoKris replied to 28studentsfailed's topic in General Students

    I highly doubt this supposed "monumental" case is true. That being said: OP failed. I don't see how that "entitles" him/her to monetary damages. You need to EARN your grade to pass! I'd be upset if...

    SopranoKris replied to Nurse2b7337's topic in General Students

    Our program just offered a Study Skills & Test Taking Strategies seminar and I really learned a lot from it. I was a 4.0 student before starting nursing school, so I consider myself to be a good...

    Dropping out of Nursing School.

    SopranoKris replied to Stephalump's topic in General Students

    Steph, first of all, I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through. I certainly hope your doctor can get your thyroid functioning at the appropriate level to alleviate some of your Addison's...

    Do you think that this is a good idea?

    SopranoKris replied to na-na's topic in General Students

    If you want to be in a particular BSN program, why would you take LPN courses only to retake them in a BSN program? I just started nursing school and I couldn't imagine having to repeat Fundamentals!...

    SopranoKris replied to MommaTy's topic in General Students

    Week one is done and....wow!!! I don't think I've studied that much in my life. Even when I took 17 credits of pre-reqs in a single semester. Holy cow I think once we get a few weeks under our...

    SopranoKris replied to BSNinprogress22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Get a planner to manage all your exams, quizzes, homework & reading assignments in one easy-to-read place. It makes a world of difference. I took 17 credits last year to finish my pre-reqs (just...

    Am I going to be able to make this relationship work?

    SopranoKris replied to Jaymesz's topic in General Students

    The best thing you can do is talk openly and honestly with each other about your future. Isn't it better to get it all out in the open and know exactly what's going on than to feel tortured about...

    ADN.

    SopranoKris replied to palamino98's topic in General Students

    In my area, the ADN from our community college is very well respected. In fact, our nursing school has a better reputation than some of the bigger schools out there. I think it all depends on what...

    Thanks, PadawanLearner :) I've been thinking about getting a recorder. You're the 3rd person that has told me to do this. Guess I know what I'll be shopping for this

    Need advice about a dishonest teacher!!

    SopranoKris replied to ipour14u's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First of all, community colleges CANNOT offer Master's level courses. They can only offer undergraduate courses. The course description you posted is a common description of any 200-level A&P...
