  1. Select all that apply...

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to nurselou04's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You're not alone. Our school's NCLEX pass rate has gone down over the years with the increase of SATA on them. So now our exams are loaded with them to help us prepare for the NCLEX. But the...

  2. Some of Us Are Trying to Help You...

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    LOL I wish I had you in my clinical. Our nurses sadly, don't step up to the plate like that. it's like they don't want nursing students so we literally have to be the aggressive go-getter or else we...

  3. 1st medsurg exam :(

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to mag426's topic in General Students

    I found M/S insanely difficult. It's really a two-pronged attack: you need to know the materials, plus you need to conquer the NCLEX-style questions, cuz you thought you conquered NCLEX-ish questions...

  4. Hostility

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to MissRis13's topic in General Students

    Can't say my cohorts are like this. Even the alpha group, the ones who are the top ranking, sit in a cluster, you know the drill - they will help anyone who asks for help. Yeah there are the casual...

  5. First Test Tomorrow, Any Advice?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to frequentFLyER's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yup. ABC's. He's breathing, airway is patent obviously, now you're in the C - circulation. And to think, looking back, I would have struggled with that question in Fundamental. *slaps

  6. If someone is caught plagiarizing, should they be failed on the spot or get a zero

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Little_Bear2013's topic in General Students

    +1 on second chances, and I would suggest you suggest your program to jump into the 21st century. My school uses a website called turnitin.com - it takes a research paper, scours the internet and...

  7. First Nursing School Test-Failed...

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to NRSK's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    THIS. I had such a learning curve in Fundamentals, trying to look into the pathophysiology of the scenarios being asked that I didn't realize I was overlooking the obvious question that was really...

  8. First exam, feeling discouraged :(

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to shells31's topic in General Students

    Get a good night's sleep. Do not cram for nursing exams - it doesn't work. Have a clear head coming in and you'll be surprised how much more efficient that is than coming in with from an all-nighter...

  9. First exam, feeling discouraged :(

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to shells31's topic in General Students

    In my current program so far, the highest I've ever gotten on an exam is a 90...which is not an A, btw LOL. But I am happy with my

  10. What is supposed to be the hardest year?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to lampard's topic in General Students

    my ADN program, med surg was the second semester and I found it the most difficult because the transition from Fundamentals (relatively easy) into M/S was like night and day. I kinda wished my...

  11. What should i do in the health field besides nursing?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to nursing212's topic in General Students

    At my school, dental hygiene actually is more rigorous to get into than the nursing program itself. Apparently that field is quite in demand too, except there are even fewer seats in the program...

  12. Anybody here ever found a GF or a future wife as a "murse" at work?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to PlentyOfMurses's topic in Male Nursing Students

    as my friends crassly put it, you don't crap where you

  13. What's the next step after failing nursing school

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to nursing212's topic in General Students

    Note that ADN programs may be harder to get in because there are probably more people applying to those than the BSN programs. I know in my ADN, there are 90 seats (although when I did the head count...

  14. Study Assistance Advice!

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to MamaMia,RN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Same here, nursing school hit me like a ton of bricks, I found myself struggling with the NCLEX-type questions. My advice is simply to just keep doing them - for some reason, one day, it just...

  15. Making Friends

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to BSNInProgress's topic in General Students

    You are an adult, and it's up to you to make friends. Nursing school cliques happen everywhere, it seems, so your situation is not unique. If you don't reach out, you can't expect other people to do...

  16. Clinicals where you work?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to PrettyPlease88's topic in General Students

    Take it as an opportunity rather than a situation - you already know your way around, be the "go to" person for where things are, how things are done, etc. In my school, we do EVERYTHING - if a...

  17. Nursing student lacking passion?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to misskate098's topic in General Students

    You're not the type of person I was referring to. As highlighted in your post, you didn't see it as a passion until afterwards. I'm talking about the rainbows and unicorns

  18. Did anyone find that their previous degree was harder that nursing school?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Nursetobe25's topic in General Students

    I have a BA in Psych, it was def easier getting that than the ADN program I'm in. I think the material itself for nursing school isn't difficult - certainly not easy, but not impossible - however, as...

  19. how to get a "A" every time

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to kevindgalloway's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    A's require acing the exams, so you should focus on answering those NCLEX-type questions by doing them. In my program the Clinical is required to pass the class, but unlike a lot of the posts here,...

  20. Just need a vent...

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to studentnursemon86's topic in General Students

    Honestly, in my program, we don't even wear our lab coats. I don't know why they made us buy it. We had to wear it ONCE so far when we had a professional nursing day at the college and were required...

  21. The real reason your failing in school

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to studentmalenurse's topic in General Students

    A bad teacher does not equal no teacher. It's as simple as that...medicine is not an occupation that you can pick up a book, read it on your own, and become a doctor, nurse, pharmacist, etc. It's...

  22. Nursing student lacking passion?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to misskate098's topic in General Students

    Before I was a nursing student, I worked as a unit secretary. Let me tell you, the ones who go into the nursing for the purpose of answering a divine higher calling bounce out within 2 years once...

  23. The real reason your failing in school

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to studentmalenurse's topic in General Students

    I think you're confusing the process. Learning completely on your own (which is what you are referring to) and learning through an instructor and then supplementing that learning on your own(what I'm...

  24. Surprise!!!!

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to mmc51264's topic in General Students

    I wish my semester was 3K LOL. It's like 8K for a semester at my school, and it's only an ADN program. I can't even imagine BSN these

  25. I don't think I will make it

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to janiadurl's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You need a roof over your head, and you definitely cannot work those hours while in nursing school. Nursing school itself is a full time
