What holds do you all have? I only have one for a background check & am worried that might be a mistake/oversight and wanted to check. Thank you

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 or am I just being fussy?

Thank you all for your responses. What I witnessed was routine nail care not any nail emergencies.

@Canucks RN Caring for sick patients is my job and I love my job. . Cleaning up waste from someone sick or incontinent patients , though not my favorite thing about being a nurse (is it anyone's?) is not comparable to an able bodied nurse coworker si...

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 campus but at Shelby, even though they ask you, you ve...

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 it.

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 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 questions on safety & asespsis. It is those ques...

We had our first Fundamentals test and there were no "A's". Only 15 students out of 64 passed. I think the average grade was a 72.

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 (we'll eventually be tested on it). Our pharm test ...

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. There are several who already have degrees in oth...

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 was during orientation that the mentioned Anniston ...

Which uniform material are you guys going to get? poplin or nanotex?

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? Thanks.

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

How long is orientation?Will they fit us for uniforms then? Do we need to have money on that day?

@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 classes?

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 alphabetically but I'm a "P" and I know someone w...

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 the TEAS V and stupid me, I put my percent correct...

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 and how many can you miss? I have been practicing ...

I'm about to start at the Shelby campus and I'm terrified after hearing so many horror stories about the 1st semester instructors there @ Enigmatic if what people say at ratemyprofessors.com is mild then I'm even more scared
