    Failed a class by 3% my last semester of nursing school

    meanmaryjean replied to Trisherrz's topic in General Students

    Klone makes a valid point. You seem to be doing a lot of projection onto the faculty for this failure, and not really taking ownership of this. Perhaps some work with your student assistance...

    Did we fail the test or were we failed by our educators?

    meanmaryjean replied to shmajo's topic in General Students

    I'm wondering is this for-profit is intentionally trying to avoid staying in business/ making it look like the student's fault when they DO close their doors? The whole concept-based curriculum is...

    Coffee marketed to nurses. Would you buy it?

    meanmaryjean replied to ResumeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I do not drink coffee for the taste or the quality: I drink coffee in self-defense, and as an act of self-preservation. Period. My favorite coffee is the free

    Family members bring us junk food!

    meanmaryjean replied to guycna95's topic in General Nursing

    People gift things that THEY would like. We had a family once bring us the most horrible, grease-soaked 'hamburgers shaped like hot dogs' once. They were AWFUL- but this family was so pleased to share...

    Ca Nursing School and Criminal Background?

    meanmaryjean replied to Socal_EMT's topic in General Students

    OP: IT's not only the school but the clinical sites. And I don't see how it's 'the shaft'. Schools get to determine who enters their program. I don't see any type of civil rights violation by them...

    Paying for Pre-Reqs in Community College

    How much "crap" do you take from people at work?

    meanmaryjean replied to addieoliveira's topic in General Nursing

    There's a lot of crap-taking in nursing. Reimbursement for service is tied, in part, to 'patient satisfaction' scores. Which is a crock of feces. One of the reasons I left the bedside. You can no...
