    I live in Alabama and several nurse's where I work clip their nails at the nurse's station and I find that to be horribly disgusting. Has anyone else had coworkers who do this? Does it bother you all...

    BillieP replied to VikeAdelik'sWife'11's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I recommend the Jefferson Campus. I failed 2nd at Shelby (full time days) and am now at Jefferson and it is A LOT easier. Also the students in 5th get to precept where they want on the Jefferson...

    BillieP posted a topic in Alabama Nursing

    Is it really that bad? For those who made it: do you have any advice for new students? Is it possible to get A's? I have a 4.0 currently and would really like to keep

  7. Failed 1st Fundamentals Test

    BillieP posted a topic in General Students

    The highest grade was an 86 and the class average was 72 (passing is 75) 75% failed the test. I'm so upset. Are these typical grades on these type of tests? The test had 45 questions and there are 64...

  8. Failed 1st Fundamentals Test

    BillieP replied to BillieP's topic in General Students

    I made a low c so I can recover hopefully. This was the first of 5 exams to be given in this course. Our test was supposed to cover the chapters on hygiene & vitals only but there were several...

    BillieP replied to Affsana's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Things are even worse now. The level of disorganization is unreal. We were given wrong dates for our validations, about 5 calanders, had stuff (7 chapters) dropped from a test a week before the test...

    BillieP replied to Affsana's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Today was my first week of nursing school at the Shelby campus. The teachers are both great lecturers so that's good. The thing I don't like is that so many (the majority) in my class are total snobs....

    BillieP replied to Affsana's topic in Alabama Nursing

    That's okay :) I plan on losing mine so I can get a new one one day when my hair looks decent lol :) It was crazy to do it like that. I think I spent two hours standing in both of those lines. It...

    BillieP replied to Affsana's topic in Alabama Nursing

    During orientation at Shelby they mentioned that in a later semester we would have clinicals in Anniston? Does anybody know what those would be for?

    BillieP replied to Affsana's topic in Alabama Nursing

    So they take our photo for our ID badge at orientation? Do you remember what the paperwork is

    BillieP replied to Affsana's topic in Alabama Nursing

    @Slturner Do they typically make a student sit out two semesters before letting them rejoin the program? Is Fundamentals super hard? Do you have any advice about the 1st semester

    BillieP replied to Affsana's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I don't think they would have any reason to verify a low score but of course they would verify the scores that put people in the acceptance pile but who knows. Someone told me they thought they did it...

    BillieP replied to Affsana's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Are they done notifying people of acceptance yet? I had good points ( 209) but I just realized that I made a mistake on my nursing application (kept a copy for my records) It asked for points on...

  21. Jeff State Shelby Campus 1st semester nursing

    BillieP replied to BillieP's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Thank you for the advice :) Why is fundamentals so difficult? Is it because of the teacher or the material? Do you only get one chance on the dosage test before clinical? How many questions are there...
