I'm a first semester clinical student whose average in Pharm I is a 70. I need at least a 77 to pass. I have 2 more chances to bring that up but one of those chances is a cumulative final. I think I know what my two problems are but I need help in fi...

Thank you but her office hours are only 30 minutes after class. She's not flexible at all but I do sometimes go late to the other class and try to see her. And really for the last time, I'm not blaming her. You need know the cause of a problem in or...

Thank you. I've actually started doing that and I agree. It's very helpful!

1) I’m tired of people on this forum making it seem like I am blaming the professor. In order to solve a problem, you must first findout what is causing the problem. Whether anyone here agrees with it or not,she is a part of the problem. But I a...

Thank you for giving me advice I can acutally use.

She's actually not. I do well on those question bank questions supplied by the textbook. She makes up her own questions.

1) When 7 out of 11 students are failing--two of whom are LPNs & one of whom is in jeopardy of losing her academic scholarship b/c of this one class--then some blame lies on the teacher, especially since she takes pride and brags about the fact t...

Congrats. I am currently failing Pharm I by 7 points and it is scaring me. I don't like my professor and am overwhelmed by the amount of work I have to do in Pharm, which to me is more than any other class. I can't change these circumstances so I am...

I'm just started my clinicals and while I am able to hear heart and bowel sounds, I am having difficulties differentiating between normal and adventitious lung sounds, especially over women who are obese or big breasted. At first I thought it was my ...

I've recently begun the clinical component of my nursing education. My clinical professor is a woman with a very strong personality who gets impatient at any mistakes made. In addition, she's expressed concerns over me because to her I come across as...

I've just begun my clinical at school and I have a Littmann lightweight Ii S.E. stethoscope. I find that while it's fine for hearing heartbeats, I have difficulties hearing bowel sounds unless someone has just that second finished eating and I can't ...

No I definitely need more practice and am looking into getting a tutor to give me more individual attention but I do think the stethoscope I have is just making it worse.

I wish I had time to practice. I'm sure if I did I'd eventually learn the difference but my clinical professor has warned me if I don't have it down by my next clinical day (Wednesday), then she's going to fail me.

The making friends with the floor nurse is really good advice. Thank you. One of the things my clinical professor does that I absolutely abhor is tell us "I cannot show you because I already know but you have to learn." Then she watches us do somethi...

Is it good for just heart and lung sounds? Can I use it for bowel sounds as well.

Thank you. I was wondering, as a nurse, what do you think of 3M Littmann Cardiology III Stethoscope. Although I do think the ultimate problem is me not being able to differentiate lung sounds, I find that the Littmann lightweight II S.E. stethoschope...

I think so.

I'm currently enrolled in an accelerated nursing program on NYC and am in jeopardy of failing out of it. I am in need of help in Health Assessment, Pharmacology, and Fundamentals. Thank you.

I"m having issues in the written exam portion but not the lab. My adviser already spoke to me and just told me to practice more nclex style questions. As far as teachers are concern, the one I have for most of my classes is extremely self-important a...

I'm actually doing well in the performance and math portions. My trouble is that since it's an accelerated program, I am finding difficult to properly prepare for written exams and my classmates aren't much help in this area. In addition to that, I'...

Wish I had your courage. I'm in jeopardy of failing out of my accelerated nursing program and I'm at the point where I don't think anything can be done about it.

I'm in an accelerated program at school and I am taking pharmacology. I've never been a great math students so I am worried. Are there any tricks that i can use to help me?

I've never been a great math students so I am worried. Are there any tricks that I can use to help me, especially since this is an accelerated program that I am in?

I am actually having a very difficult time doing this. So any help would be greatly appreciated!
