Thank you everyone for your comments. And one of you read the post right. She doesn't steal the patient's money. She puts her own dollar in, get the other nurses to do the same, believing that the death process will make the money "lucky". Anyway, st...

I just finished a nursing program but I have to sit for my NCLEX. I have waited for months to post this because of fear of retribution and problems from the school. Basically, I had an unbelievably bad experience with a clinical instructor and I cann...

Hi Everyone: I need some advice... I'm in my second month of LVN school, and I'm completed knackered. I'm so exhausted by Thursdays that I can barely see straight. I get shaky and dizzy from the lack of good sleep and a bad diet. Everything aches. My...

This is a howdunit more than a whodunit. There is a student in my nursing class who is getting 100% on almost all her med surg exams. I'm pretty sure she's cheating, but I don't know how. And I was wondering if anyone who's been through the rigors o...

No worries. Not reporting anything. Just for my own curiosity on how this could be done. No, I don't plan to cheat. :)

Hi there: Guess what? I'm in the EXACT same situation as you. I'm the "loner" in my class because what's happened to you happened to me. And there is a very "mean girl" in my class who will ostracize, blackball, etc. anyone who tries to be nice to me...

Hi Everyone: I've written other threads asking for help from ye wise ole nurses about my predicaments and you've all been so helpful. So I'm wondering if anyone has any advice about yet another crappy situation I'm having with my school... Clinicals ...

Good for you that you didn't go to Gurnick. The PM program is terrible. It's a bit of a ripoff as their clinicals will be problematic. I'm in it. I'm halfway through and I regret doing this program. The admin is nice at my campus but the program is n...

Oh wise nurses. I have a dilemna. Again. And would appreciate your two cents on the matter to help me make some kind of decision. I'm in nursing school right now. I have about 8 more months to go. But this program is a farce. (Or is this normal in ot...

I changed my name legally recently. I know what you mean. I changed an ethnic name to a very blank simple Western name. First and last. My new name bears no trace of my birth name. I like it. I feel so Marilyn Monroe. And I think it's brought me luck...

Hi MoopleRN: No, this was ANOTHER instructor. Our school is rife with unethical people. This was someone else who is also on her way out. A few hours ago, I wanted to drop out. Now I think I'll stick it out, learn on my own as much as I can. I want ...

Hi. Thanks everyone. But I've decided to take a leave of absence at this school and go the long, but proper way and do my prereqs and apply to a proper nursing school at a university. I know I'm suppose to study myself, but when I can't even do vital...

I'm alive, but not comfortable in the class. I sent you a PM, MoopleRN. I have such a problem with this program. I don't know if I should continue.

Hi Everyone: I need some savvy advice from some smart seasoned nurses. I'm in nursing school and a terrible situation has developed.... We are suppose to have clinicals from 3pm-midnight. Our instructor lets us out at 7pm, and we spend about 2 and a ...

UPDATE EVERYONE: Thanks for the encouragement. I told the Dean everything. The instructor was fired immediately and now we have a really tough one who has promised to "be mean to me." Well, at least I'll learn something. And guess what, almost all th...

Okay, people. I grew a pair. And reported everything. Now will someone please tail me with an amp of D50 in case I get accidentally injected with some insulin? :) Thanks. Will keep you all posted on outcome.

Dear all esteemed and moral nurses: The deed has been done. Dean notified. (I won't say how or who or what methods.) Rest assured, the school now knows. Now all I need is one of you to walk around with me with amps of D50... Because I don't even know...

Okay, dear esteemed nurses. I will tell the Dean. But if I end up getting injected with potassium chloride, it's all your guys fault. :) If only I could carry around syringes of antidote for everything...

I feel like a little rat. Oh well, maybe the dean will do something and I'll actually be able to give an injection properly. I can't even do vitals manually. (I'm so ashamed.)

Thanks for the input everyone. (And BTW, I was kidding about the insulin. Yes, it comes in units. But you get the point, I fear retaliation from the other students.) Our group is a strange one. Lots of them are there because their parents are forcing...

Hi there: I'm in the same situation. We are supposed to do 9 hour clinicals and we get out after 4. Class was completely cancelled last night. But I feel like I can't tell anyone because the other students will "kill" me and I won't be able to transf...

My LVN program is 12 months. I'm in month 4. Good luck with your education.

Thanks to all who have replied, but even my MOTHER has told me to keep my mouth shut. She doesn't want the instructor or the other students to retaliate against me. I'm so frustrated and scared. I can't run to the instructor and say, "hey, this is wr...

Thank you, everyone for your comments. I'm still in LVN school and have decided to STICK IT OUT or til the heavens fall. I love it, even though it's hard and full of potholes. I'm scared a lot. I want to cry a lot. I do minor retail therapy a lot. I ...

But the class will hang me. I don't want to get "accidentally" injected with 50cc of insulin. I'm not diabetic and I don't want to die. Anyone know HOW I should tell this terrible secret?
