    How to answer this question

    missmollie replied to Newyorker22's topic in General Students

    You may first want to find out why the PCT didn't complete the task. Their answer will dictate how you handle the situation, and also allow you to problem solve and find solutions. I wouldn't...

    Clinical drama-question about personal property

    missmollie replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    I think it's time we share a secret with the younger generation. Chiasmus, you may not like these girls, you may be jealous of these girls, things may happen that do not seem fair, but I'm guessing...

    Most terrifying thing?

    missmollie replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Students

    Skill checkoffs are where you perform a skill in front of an instructor. You have to hit every critical step, or else you won't pass the skill. At my school, we are given remediation if we do not...

    Most terrifying thing?

    missmollie replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Students

    There really isn't anything terrifying about nursing school. I think we've talked up how difficult nursing school is so much that people are nervous about starting. Yes, you will have to study more...

    Nursing Students: What do you think of your instructors?

    missmollie replied to KBICU's topic in General Students

    Most of my professors are great teachers. There are a few things that separate the great ones from the decent ones. 1. They give examples of real-life experiences. This helps us to connect the...

    Stressed out in my last clinical rotation before graduating

    missmollie replied to abcde.cruz808's topic in General Students

    If you want some answers, you may want to go to the dialysis nursing forum and ask what happens if you take a BP on the same arm as a fistula. They will be better equipped to give you sound advice,...

    fear of failing

    missmollie replied to xomanderrzxo's topic in General Students

    I know you're worried about passing skills, but the more you do them, the easier they seem. Many of the steps are just common sense, and some become so common that you immediately say them before you...

    missmollie replied to LoveLife28640's topic in General Students

    Nursing school isn't terrible, it's just different. You'll have times of elation and times when you're really down. Best thing is to take it day by day and do your best. Spend the extra money for...

    What are you doing summer break?

    missmollie posted a topic in General Students

    3 more days until summer break. I am going to cook real meals that do not come from a box and require some time and skill. I'm going to read fun books, and I hope to finish Game of Thrones (the...

    I start in the morning, and I'm kind of bugging out.

    missmollie replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    Your post makes me a little anxious! Take a deep breath, breathe, and relax. Nursing school is hard, but it's not so difficult that no one can complete it. You have a full schedule. Deep breath....

    missmollie replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Students

    This was the response to my "Nursing jobs are everywhere, in a day and age with linkedin" My comment was dripping with sarcasm in my mind. I'm hoping everyone else picked up on it as

    Do you think eating in the classroom is rude?

    missmollie replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Students

    Except the OP didn't. She said it was a class. With a teacher. I can only assume the teacher teaches, regardless of whether it's a lecture or not. Same concept, just a different sized

    Do you think eating in the classroom is rude?

    missmollie replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Students

    I'm terribly sorry this is happening to you and there isn't anything you can do about it. I'm sure all the advice from other posters are things you've tried. I say petition your professors and bring...

    What are you doing summer break?

    missmollie replied to missmollie's topic in General Students

    If it makes you feel better, I get a whole 4 days off from school before I start a 6 week medical micro course. I still consider it a summer break because it's not a nursing course. The test...

    Supporting a friend

    missmollie replied to 504 medic's topic in General Students

    It will be up to her if she wants to become a nurse. Nothing you say or do should change that, as she is the one who has to go back through the program, repeat what she already did, and put in the...

    Do you think eating in the classroom is rude?

    missmollie replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure I follow. I thought you said they were eating during lecture, but now you say that you are trying to study. Are you studying during lecture? Are you just in there to study and people...

    Many students like using questions and rationales to help them understand how to apply the material. It seems you have all the right materials for questions, but if it's not helping you, then I have...

    Do you think eating in the classroom is rude?

    missmollie replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Students

    When school becomes your life and you have to leave early (or perhaps a student left late) with no time to grab lunch, get over it. I hope you never go into a patient's room when they are eating....

    wanting to stay in contact with a retiring prof

    missmollie replied to ravenpuff's topic in General Students

    Ask her if it's okay to email her while you're in school if you have any questions, because you respect her opinion. The worst she can say is "no", and then you're no worse off than you are now. Do...
