  1. Not doing well in nursing school?

    succinate posted a topic in General Students

    I am completing my first year of nursing school in a university, and I am not doing as well as I would have hoped. I can't believe this is happening to me. In high school, I used to have excellent...

    succinate posted a topic in General Nursing

    succinate replied to succinate's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, such wise words from all of you! Thank you so much. You're right - nursing school is hard and the first we need to focus on is studies. I am lucky that I have one friend but sometimes I would...

    succinate replied to succinate's topic in General Nursing

    Oops, I forgot to mention one thing! Last year I had one speech language pathologist who assessed my speech and said to me, "I'm not concerned about your speech. There were some words I couldn't...

    succinate replied to succinate's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, there are other hearing impaired students at my university but I haven't met them (they are not in nursing; in fact, a faculty member told me that I'm the only nursing student with a hearing...

  10. I feel like ****...

    succinate replied to succinate's topic in General Nursing

    I know I shouldn't blame this on my hearing disability alone, but I believe it's the culprit. I'll explain why: when I attempt to make a conversation with someone, I would notify them about my hearing...

    succinate replied to succinate's topic in General Nursing

    But how long am I going to wait till I get a job to find real friends? Because I am almost done my first year, all nursing students will have a clinical placement once a week and I don't live in the...

  15. Has anyone ever look down on you because you are a nurse

    succinate replied to dulcet's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Whatever, when I told my friends that I've decided to be a nurse, they were like, "ohhh....but in the end, you will be a doctor right?" Well, I have deep respect for nurses and I don't consider...

  16. For the Bowel Obsessed

    succinate replied to jadelpn's topic in Nursing Humor

    LOL this is completely off-track, but I didn't know what constipation was when I was in high school. So when I had constipation, I told my mother about my bowel movement and she confirmed that it was...

  17. Really need your advice from experienced nurses?

    succinate posted a topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I know I sound like an extremely indecisive nursing student but my story behind becoming a nurse is really long, so I will not go into details. But I am having another doubt about becoming a nurse...

  18. Really need your advice from experienced nurses?

    succinate replied to succinate's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    My fellow nursing peers do act sometimes rude. They are idiots - they are like "what what what what what what" when they are really lazy to put in effort to understand my speech. Sometimes I would say...

  19. Really need your advice from experienced nurses?

    succinate replied to succinate's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    It sounds like I'm very sensitive to how people react to me when I open my mouth to say a single word. When I see people get frustrated, I become sensitive, primarily because I haven't come to terms...

    succinate posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm only a student but have decided to post in this section since you have more experiences with night shifts than I do. It's challenging for me to keep up with the workload and commuting (15 miles...

    succinate posted a topic in General Students

    I want one clarification about heart sounds...I cannot find anything on the Internet, so I thought it might be best to ask here. Is Erb's Point referred to the sound of the closure of both aortic and...
