  5. Am I TOO emotional to be a nurse?

    I am glad I am not the only one! My biggest dream is to work in labor in delivery, but I am not sure if that is in the cards for me. I cry when I watch "A Baby Story" on TLC, or even when a baby is...
  6. Cheating in Pre-Reqs

    I reported someone who cheated in Physiology and come to find out, I was not the only one to report him, but since I was also a witness the case against him became indisputable. I know that you can't...

  8. What do you do in lab for A&P?

    My school was a little different, Anatomy and Phys were two separate classes. I was fortunate to go to a school that had a cadaver lab!!! We didn't do the dissection (I was done for us), but when we...
  9. Studying

    I have two simple words for you ACTIVE LEARNING. Active learning is when you go beyond sitting there and just reading the same information over and over again. I can not learn something, just by...

  13. NCLEX passing rates

    Another question... this pass rate - is this information well known? Do nursing schools disseminate this information? When it comes times to take the test, I will sleep a little easier knowing that...
  14. NCLEX passing rates

    If you read, I say several times that I have no opinion on the matter, nor am I am expert (let alone even qualified to speak) on this subject as I haven't even started nursing school. I just thought...
  15. NCLEX passing rates

    The town where I live only has 100,000 people, two hospitals (one major hospital and "the ond building" that they use for peds, OB/Gyn and Ortho. My school is a state run college with 250 students...
  16. NCLEX passing rates

    I am not doubting for one second the hardness (mentally and physically) of the test. My hat is off to anyone who has taken it! I agree that the nursing shortage is way blown out of proportion. With...

  19. Misogyny in Nursing

    oh contraire - i neither hate, mistrust or dislike women, i am just stating a fact. anyone who has worked with women, knows this to be 100% true. not saying that it is right or wrong, it just brings...
  20. Why are people so ignorant?

    I think it comes down to one thing... jealousy. I would question if this person is truely a friend, becuase a friend would support you NO MATTER
  21. Misogyny in Nursing

    I don't care what the environment is... you put a bunch of women working together and drama ensues. Womankind's behavior towards each other perpuates the

    NEVER GIVE UP HOPE!!! As a student, after the second bad test score you need to change how you are studying because what you are doing isn't working. I went through the same thing with Organic...
  23. Getting vaccinated for Nursing school?

    After seeing my best friends 2 year old daughter suffer and then DIE because of Whooping Cough (she was against the vaccines too), I will never understand the choice not to vaccinate. To watch that...
  24. Opportunity vs. distance

    If the job that is an hour and 1/2 away has the (3) 12 hour shifts look at it this way...you work 6-6. You get off at 6, drive 90 minutes home. That leaves appx 6 hours sleep before you have to turn...
