2. Failed nursing class need help

   laurellestars replied to mecha-sorah's topic in General Students

   Hi Mecha-sorah, sorry my answer is a little late, 2 years too late, but here it goes. What ended up happening was that I became a TA for a nursing instructor and graduated in 2016 with my BSN. I hope that you also graduated around that time and if n...

   Sure, that's fine. I go to UCI. I hope you don't mind me asking, but how are you dealing with it? I'm trying to deal too, but need some ideas... :-( (Sorry if it's a too personal question, maybe we can take this to fb or gmail? thanks)

7. Failed nursing class need help

   laurellestars replied to mecha-sorah's topic in General Students

   Hi Mecha-Sorah, would you by any chance be in a UC? I had a similar problem, got sick in the fall of 2013, then came back to study during fall of 2014, then failed a clinical during this winter quarter. Small world... . I also hope to get a job rela...

8. Is 71% in Chemistry enough?

   laurellestars replied to linzipinzi's topic in CA Programs

   Usually every class has to be a C or better to get into a program, not a C average on all of the pre-reqs combined. If it becomes an issue for admission then just retake it, I'm sure you'll do better next time. Best of luck.

9. Fed-up: Admin will not even meet with me so I can withdrawal. A warning to others.

   laurellestars replied to reluctantrn's topic in General Students

   I totally understand, after a certain point students need permission from a director, counselor, etc. to withdraw. You just have to see her in person and explain the situation, get a doctors or a therapists note that you need to withdraw if the clas...

    Maybe switch to another unit? OB is a very happy place to be in. Or maybe become an NP and specialize in one specific area. Take care :)

13. I am NOT a Nurse...

    laurellestars replied to GoofyBlondeChic's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in nursing school and have a CNA license, but I don't consider myself a nurse yet. lol, your patients are very cute. If it really bothers you then gently let the patient know that you're an aid.

14. I'm starting to feel like I'm done

    laurellestars replied to TheOldestNurseOnUnit's topic in General Nursing

    I can kind of relate. I'm in nursing school right now and I'm not liking the bedside aspect of nursing at all. Sometimes it's nice, but at other times it's very stressful and some nurses don't know much about their patients and then give terrible re...
