    Appealing a grade

    Kuriin replied to Hdrodlady's topic in General Students

    Teachers will often change their minds on how their grading policy works. It doesn't matter; a failed grade is still a failed grade. Some teachers will give an additional point to those who get it...

    Priority Problem for a patient Dx'd with Bacteremia

    Kuriin replied to TheNiceAshley's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Your hospital does not have a sliding scale for patients who are NPO? That is a pretty high glucose and we typically give insulin for those who are NPO if they are above (I believe it is) 160. Aren't...

    Failed prerequisite, what options do I have

    Kuriin replied to mayapple16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The first A&P is still considered as a prerequisite and would be taken into account; not just the entire series. It's tough to say since you've failed the same class twice, and that being the most...

    Its been 3 yrs since I finish nursing. I took the NCLEX 4x with no success.please help

    Kuriin replied to Justme724's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Keep on trying. Sounds like your methods of studying may not be all that effective. I wanted to mention one thing about what I quoted: If you think CNAs have it tough, wait until you get into nursing....

    Help, completely confused (pre-nursing, entry-level jobs, etc)

    Kuriin replied to MomAndSonInMD's topic in General Students

    You could take all of your nursing prerequisites in two semesters. It just means you are going to be very busy. Chemistry, Psychology, Microbiology - one semester Anatomy, Physiology, and whatever...

    Is it pointless to be an A student in nursing school?

    Nursing student after TBI

    Kuriin replied to vryeesfeathers's topic in General Students

    OP, it does not sound like this TBI you experienced is affecting you in any way. You are just experiencing what many, if not all nursing students go through: Anxiety. You will get through it,...

    Discouraged

    Kuriin replied to shermainenevels's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some schools do not require chemistry as a prerequisite. Windsurfer may have been rude, but what he said speaks true. Nursing is certainly not easy. If you want the responsibility of being a RN, then...

    Nursing care plan question

    Kuriin replied to aperry245's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Un-Registered Nurse in Ca

    Kuriin replied to Mdeltagio's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It is different for everyone. If your license was not posted within 2 days, then you will most likely have to wait 4-6 weeks for it to get posted. But, if the PVT is still good even after all this...
