    Venting and Sub-par Programs

    You got caught up in a poor program. If you can, jump ship!!!! You learned a hard lesson and maybe an expensive

    Same here, they didn't hound me, but he sure had slick sales pitches. I have heard the same pitches when buying a used car, furniture, washer and dryer, and switching my cable television service....

    Oh, and I forgot. The advisor I talked with on the phone made it sound all wonderful and kind of reminded me of a used car salesman. This worried me a lot! I did take the dive and was okay with it....

    Think you are getting lots of great information here, but wanted to add my perspective. First of all it isn't a breeze, but some of us (mostly me) make it harder than it needs to be. I have trouble...

    Venting and Sub-par Programs

    rob4546 replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    I understand that you are venting, but I wanted more information. Is the 60% pass rate drawn from the number of graduates that take the NCLEX and pass or is it from the number who enter the program...

    Silly me, I thought the same thing about professional nurses working and returning to school for their BSN in an attempt to better themselves. Something makes me believe that we might be both wrong....

    I received this email from a professor. I was a little shocked. Opinon?

    rob4546 replied to kdflet's topic in General Students

    Not trying to poke at you, just wanting to pass information along. You need to learn now how to let things go, don't let the small stuff get to you. I agree that the instructor was trying to be...

    rob4546 replied to kdflet's topic in General Students

    So..... where is the unprofessionalism? I will agree that this instructor produced an email that was more "friendly" in nature, but take it this way.... It beats the alternative! In our clinical...

    Need advice about departments

    rob4546 replied to npixie's topic in General Students

    personally I think that you will take any job you are offered, but it doesn't necessarily mean you cannot wish for, ask for, or dream!! I believe that for this assignment they really do not care...

    I start tomorrow!

    rob4546 replied to JACSN's topic in General Students

    Remember that nursing school will be what you make of it. Try to stay positive, even though you may have just blown a test. Once negativity sets in, it is hard to shake. High stress and frustration...

    I hear what you are saying, but there are many more topics I would want to be studying instead of rehashing what I did in nursing school. I have purchased a couple books on perioperative nursing I...

    Starting Nursing School in January and I Got Summoned for Federal Jury Duty!

    rob4546 replied to afowler77's topic in General Students

    After serving on a jury because I felt it was my duty as a citizen, I now will never do that again. The legal system isn't what it was intended to be anymore (topic for a different post). I told...
