  1. NEED HELP from a student who got kicked out

    Diahni replied to terabhap's topic in General Nursing

    Did she have clinical experience? Maybe she should check out Excelsior online. She does have choices if she doesn't give up.

  2. Run out of nursing school - what to do?

    Diahni replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    I think some Deans pressure the instructors in lower level classes to pass everyone. Trudy, I can't imagine this, or open book tests. Then, the students who really can't make the grade without team...

  3. Run out of nursing school - what to do?

    Diahni replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, some things are not obvious to somebody who has never worked as an LPN. One of the strange aspects of the program I was in was that absolutely no teaching to speak of happened during clinicals....

  4. Run out of nursing school - what to do?

    Diahni replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Trudy, Yeah, no indication of the troubles, but this is how it is. A person can be doing famously, bomb one test, and out they go. It is a heartless system, yet it's couched in terms of "safety."...

  5. Run out of nursing school - what to do?

    Diahni replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    (fwiw my program tuition alone is 42,000 dollars-big investment to get booted out of ). Gen Gennaver, OUCH! That's a whole lotta money for nothing! There's really something wrong with a system that...

  6. Run out of nursing school - what to do?

    Diahni replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    Tiwi and Sonicnurse, The bottom line is the school is always right - I wouldn't even waste my time in an endeavor that would prompt them to point out all the ways in which I was wrong. As for the...

  7. Run out of nursing school - what to do?

    Diahni replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    While reading your post it reminded me of how angry I was at my manager but in truth I was mad at myself. She told me to practice my presentations but quite frankly I kept winging it because I hated...

  9. How has Distance Learning affected your career/education in the future?

    Diahni replied to The Limey's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi Caliotter3, Will you kindly link me to, or tell me what the new ASN criteria are for Excelsior? Thanks. I'm assuming you mean you must be enrolled by the date you mentioned.

  10. Run out of nursing school - what to do?

    Diahni replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    yeah, we had at least a month of psych clinicals, then a month off for winter vacation. As many have pointed out, that's no excuse. I don't have a problem with catching h*ll for being rusty, my...

  11. excelsior college

    Diahni replied to cacti66's topic in Florida Nursing

    cacti66: I'm in the process of applying to excelsior. I get the feeling you'll get all the training you need, save for clinical, which you already have. There's a 66 or so percent pass rate on their...

  12. Please help

    Diahni replied to shannyn's topic in General Nursing

    TazziRN, Please tell me what "second star to the right" means! I'm curious!

  13. Run out of nursing school - what to do?

    Diahni replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    Trudy, Switched schools, I'm okay. Time spent here was well worth it, no regrets.

  14. Run out of nursing school - what to do?

    Diahni replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    TeleRNer, You speak great wisdom. Not all schools jive with all students. I feel so badly for so many of the LPNs who bombed out of my RN program. I truly believe they flunked out because they...

  15. Need advice on leaving nursing!

    Diahni replied to HealthyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh dear, I can relate. I have not even taken my NCLEX, and I can look into the future and see myself writing a post such as the one you just wrote. Society needs nurses, and I bet there is a place for...

  16. Diversity and Cultural Awareness Rant

    Diahni replied to Pianoforte's topic in General Nursing

    Well, thank you for listening to my rant! These experiences make me feel like a complete outsider in my nursing program and, as a result, I want nothing to do with the majority of my classmates. Rant...

  17. What is the biggest frustration for nursing students?

    Diahni replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    This is a no-brainer. I found nursing instructors to be mean and condescending. I dropped out, and am finishing at Excelsior. Maybe a younger person can put up with it, but it's hard for second-career...

  18. Showing up to work SICK

    Diahni replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    I had an experience working with somebody who had the stomach flu. She finally went to throw up, and everybody was leaning on her to leave. Nurses know how contagious this is! Even after saying she...

  19. Run out of nursing school - what to do?

    Diahni replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the suggestion, LadyNASDAQ, Yes, it's a different world, and there are many choices out there. This is one of the reasons that women now have rates of heart disease comparable to men. All...

  20. Run out of nursing school - what to do?

    Diahni replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    On which planet are men and women treated equally in the workplace? To say that they're not treated equally is not sexist, it's just stating the obvious. Look at the stats. And last I checked, it was...

  21. Run out of nursing school - what to do?

    Diahni replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    To eveybody who bothered to join this thread, Honestly, the folks who write in to allnurses has provided me with more insight, support and information than I have ever encountered from my teachers or...

  22. Run out of nursing school - what to do?

    Diahni replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    Oh Dear! I began this thread for advice, yet there really are so many issues. I have read about universities that are offering nurses trained as educators employment packages that include teaching...

  23. Run out of nursing school - what to do?

    Diahni replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    Good point, Caliotter3. yup, this is the military, the authority is always right, and this is very very important in war to get everybody on the same page and work as a unit. On the other hand, I see...

  24. Run out of nursing school - what to do?

    Diahni replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    My intent is not to be hard on you, but I don't feel as if we are getting all the information here. There are several aspects of your story that just don't make any sense. If I were you I would...

  25. Run out of nursing school - what to do?

    Diahni replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    RB: Actually, I did. At some point I did say that my med-surg skills were rusty. Rusty, but still there. I had been off med-surg for over two months. I wrote to allnurses.com for support and strategy...
