  1. The real reason your failing in school

    I agree. While there may be "bad" teachers, the material to study for the exam exists - and you can't blame the teachers even when they teach a subject which you consider to be poorly done. If there...
  2. it was the same at my school last semester. one of the sites that another 2 groups were assigned to literally turned us down a week prior to clinicals beginning (usually our clinicals start 1-week...
  3. Our conference room was the size of a broom closet - how they managed to fit a refrigerator in there is beyond me. So needless to say, there was no huddling in said conference room for all 10 of us....
  4. Failed BSN Program Junior Year

    I think that's their way of saying you didn't pass the exams, hence you did not make it through & are being denied readmission. It's a numbers game and at the end of the day, if your numbers...
  5. Is it me? Or is it everybody else?

    I definitely want to curse some of my classmates out, but remember, we are stuck with each other and you never know who your next clinical group will be with. I do not recommend getting into any...
  6. Should I let the fear of failing nursing school...

    Fear is healthy, believe it or not. But it shouldn't cripple you. I'm not going to repeat what everyone else has said, but will add that fear should drive you to succeed, not
  7. Simplenursing.com

    This gave me a chuckle cause then I'm thinking 'well maybe if he spent more time studying and less time putting together these lessons...' - but that's just me being a snarky itch with a capital B....
  8. Spinoff thread-A or pass

    I wanted A's but so far I've gotten C and a B, so I fall into the category of happy to be passing. I was a 3.7GPA going into nursing school, I thought I had this in the bag, and the program proved me...
  9. Worst semester ever!

    And honestly, I don't think anyone is naïve enough to think the real world will be any easier than school. So it was just completely unnecessary to be so
  10. I feel I should not have failed this test

    I'm sorry but that seems like a huge loophole for the school to not include a conversion factor anywhere. Are you sure it wasn't in the handbook or given in the text that was part of your
  11. Feeling like an idiot during sims lab... Normal?

    I actually prefer SIM over clinical, too. I feel like SIM prepares me for clinical moreso than clinical itself. I remember listening to lung sounds and I said to my instructor I think I'm hearing...
  12. At my wit's end...

    There's a lady in my class who blurts out the answers - either when the instructor asks one, or when another student asks the instructor - and we all hate her for that. And it's not because we're...
  13. Hep B Booster

    this is a very odd requirement from OP's program. I had 0 immunity when they did the titer so I had to get the booster shots and I actually didn't even finish the series until after Fundamentals was...
  14. Social Life while in School?

    Your social life will be with your nursing students. I didn't believe the other threads on this topic when I was not a nursing student, but once I started school, I saw the reality. Yeah, you could...
  15. Question about this dosage question.

    OMG his screen name changed. I thought I just posted in the wrong thread when it bounced back to the top, I was starting to doubt
  16. Question about this dosage question.

    as previously mentioned, you're losing track of your units. If you set up the dimensional analysis, the units cancel out, and you'd be left with the correct unit even if you can't step back and look...
  17. Worst semester ever!

    +1. Guidance and being condescending are two very different
  18. Med/Surge

    Agreed - med/surg is one of those situations where you read the material, you pay attention in class, you actually get the material, and then the NCLEX style questions hit you like a ton of bricks....
  19. Men shoes - Alegria vs. Dansko

    Danskoes were the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. They hit the arch of my feet just right, actually straightened my poor posture, and made me taller. I've definitely rolled my ankle wearing...
  20. Rolling tote

    i got tired of carrying the heavy nursing books, so i saw a youtube vid where another student nurse broke the spine of the book and just took out the pages. I did that, it was kind of painful seeing...
  21. Nursing Professors: Good or Evil?

    Really? Our feedbacks are pretty genuine, sometimes even nitpicky. I can honestly say my professors, aside from the sometimes questionable exam questions that they come up with, are wonderful ladies...
  22. 10 Study Tips that will Make Nursing School Easier

    I wish my school taught this in fundamentals. Instead of telling us to think actions, not facts, they tell us to "think like nurses" - which to a first sem nursing student as is vague and broad as...
  23. What is a "passing grade" for your nursing program?

    ^ I WISH my school was a 75. I was awfully close to the chopping block at 80 when my school is a 77 minimum. It's nerve wracking to say the least, cause those nursing exams are tough! I've only...
  24. failed foundations of nursing

    +1. I know it's hard for people like OP to stay positive, but things will work out. Nursing school knows people will fail out, they don't shut the doors on them forever. they will allow re-entry if...
  25. 3.9 GPA, cant pass Nursing school tests!???

    ^ I think you need to be careful with that "assessment" of your classmates. I know in my cohort, there are some cutthroaters who say stuff like "I barely studied for that test" when in fact they did...
