Today was the last day of the trimester, we finished with the pharmacology final. On Tuesday was our med-surg final. I've heard from several classmates that they just need ____ points to pass. Some are doing the bare minimum and just aiming for that ...

6 Kids????!!

I am currently taking pathophysiology and in an associates nursing program, I have a year left. Last week, in class (which is a computer classroom so there's a computer in front of everyone) during lecture, I was scrolling through the powerpoints an...

That's so true! I'm not talking about OP though, I just meant a lot of people on this forum. I guess the happy nurses are too happy to spend their time on this little unhappy corner of the web

Very good, but nothing was related on how to manage anxiety and didn't include any ideas on how to be better prepared should the OP decide to go back to nursing. Again, this is why I said she should gain some CNA experience so that she gradually feel...

Side note to your thread: Why is this kind of attitude so prevalent on this website? It seems a lot of people on here are bitter, sarcastic, condescending know-it-alls. I have 1 year left of school and if this is what awaits, I am not looking forward...

Then I'm surprised you aren't more compassionate towards others that struggle with anxiety. Instead of shooting down the OP's entire career aspirations, maybe you can recommend some coping strategies that helped you while in school and at clinical. I...

I think it would be wise to gain experience as a CNA first to get comfortable around patients and accustomed to doing vitals/BP and just generally being around patients. I had a really scary clinical professor once so I know what you went through :) ...

Thank you for the useful and thoughtful comment!

Sorry..but it's true. Welcome to 2017, soon to be 2018. My classes are full of people in their early 20's :)

Thank you for the constructive and kind post! I agree. I have chosen to ignore her. It's sad that there are so many rude people in nursing when it's a profession that involves a great deal of kindness and compassion.

We have assigned seats. I can multi-task And it's hard to pay attention to class when feeling uncomfortable. I try not to use my phone much. Everyone I know occasionally texts during class, not saying it's ok but that's how it is in 2017 I suppose!

Thank you for your useful response! I have chosen not to pay attention to her and pretend like I don't hear anything when she's slamming stuff down. I'm sure she loves it haha!

The instructor of the class is the director of nursing, sorry I failed to mention that in my original post

The girl next to me was texting occasionally too. In fact, everyone texts occasionally during class. Since you are older I'm sure you didn't experience this back then, but that's how it is a lot of the time nowadays. And I have taken classes various ...

The instructor of the course is the director of the program

Does anyone need an MC uniform?? I have a size Medium pants and about a size 10/medium uniform top...I also have the lab coat. Everything is lightly used...I'm selling it for $50!

I'm pretty sure it's good for a year :) I think she said physicals with the urinalysis/cbc should be done annually

Where did you get everything done at? I got all my stuff done at the UMD Health Center and I got it back right away. The uniforms are through Fenton Uniform and they will be at registration so you can try everything on/order your uniform at registra...

For Nov. 21st you need confirmation page of both background check and drug screening :)

Yeah, they walk around the room with a box full of numbers...and you take one out, and that's the lottery system lol. And I only spent about $300 on all my books...I think the school tries to advertise the bundle.

Yup, on the 21st you just need the confirmation of payment printed out for the drug test and background check. Then when you go to register on the 3rd, you will get the Chain of Custody form for the drug test. Then after you get your drug test done, ...

I think you mean low lottery number? Haha.
