  11. Nursing students and their bad behaviors >:(

    Purple_roses replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Students

    From what you describe of yourself, it doesn't seem like you'll be a "problem student" at all. The students we're talking about usually arrive late and disrupt the class often, and then they use...

  15. NCLEX pass rates

    Purple_roses replied to dinzz's topic in General Students

    I believe you, and that speaks volumes for your work ethic and dedication to learning the material. Last week I spoke with a nurse who was part of the 1/3 of her graduating class to pass NCLEX (this...

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

    Purple_roses replied to misskayy's topic in General Students

    Grad school, resumes, and simply knowing what you're supposed to know to keep patients safe are all good reasons to strive for high grades. Also, do the best that you can on every test and assignment...

    Purple_roses replied to swirlies's topic in General Students

    You're actually the only one getting upset (seems to be a pattern). Notice how people on this thread can disagree without the disagreement actually becoming an argument? Skills to be learned. Perhaps...

  21. Nursing students and their bad behaviors >:(

    Purple_roses replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Students

    I agree with you to a certain extent. What annoys me about the people who show up late in my class is that they'll blame the instructor when they get a bad grade, claim they've never heard the...

  22. Why or why not CRNA?

    Purple_roses replied to AlrightMike's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You'll need to get your 4 year BSN. Then you'll need to work for 1-2 years as an RN in the ICU before applying to the CRNA program. The CRNA program is 2 years, I believe. So yes, it can certainly be...

  23. Patient refusal to shower-neglect?

    Purple_roses replied to MissxPriss's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Purple_roses replied to swirlies's topic in General Students

    I think the real problem is when people expect nurses to be made of soft, 24-carat gold. You seem to be genuinely surprised that nurses are
