  1. I give up!

    futurepsychrn replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    I have no problem wiping butt lol. I expected that as part of the job. I'm realistic if nothing else. I have no problem with the clinical settings at all. It's just the school atmosphere. I try to say...

  2. I give up!

    futurepsychrn replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    I've been in this program for almost a year. I agree that the first couple of months and the adjustments were stressful. I even gave the school time, thinking that since it was the beginning of a new...

  4. I give up!

    futurepsychrn replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    Well I tried with the paragraphs but apparently there is a technical issue. Par for the course as per my day thus

  5. I give up!

    futurepsychrn replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    If every nursing school was like this one, there would be no nurses. Maybe it's because I come from a family of teachers, but I believe education should be organized and structured. It's easier to...

  6. Nursing school too hard on purpose?

    futurepsychrn replied to fangirl's topic in General Students

    I agree! I got a zero on a quiz because I took 1 day off when my mother and mother-in-law died in the same week. They literally wanted me to come in and take the quiz and go back home. For Real??? My...

  7. Too old for BSN?

    futurepsychrn replied to forever88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am 52 and in my first year of nursing school. You are never too

  8. ATI Schools

    futurepsychrn replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    I have passed all ATI exams thus far. It's just very stressful to have to study all the added material on top of the material you are learning in class! Then there are some class members, who are very...

  9. ATI Schools

    futurepsychrn replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    We spend the whole module (8 weeks) studying ATI and taking the tests. They count as points on our grades. My problem is we are not taught the ATI material properly and it should not be a make or...

  11. ATI Schools

    futurepsychrn replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    The proctored for Fundamentals is Monday. 71.1% to move on. Only 3 people have gotten the 85 needed to take the proctored. Class officers were elected, therefore we got to go to the bi-monthly staff...

  12. Telling the truth on a peer evaluation for a group project?

    futurepsychrn replied to JESSICAAA159's topic in General Students

    I fully understand the concept of group projects, work together, become a team ( as in healthcare). However, the reality is that, in life, there are always going to be people you cannot get along...

  13. Can someone clarify is I passed or fail nclex, tnx

    futurepsychrn replied to arvi's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  14. How to NOT Aid a Cheater?

    futurepsychrn replied to Angeljho's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Agreed! I am 52 and in RN school! I do my own work and help others when I can! So, no your brain does not stop working. You are capable of learning at any

  15. I lack social skills and confidence. Is nursing a possibility for me?

    futurepsychrn replied to DerAustin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree 110%. I have worked as a nurse's aide and it's humiliating enough for some of the patients without people going around talking about having to "wipe someone's butt"! If that's the attitude...

  16. I lack social skills and confidence. Is nursing a possibility for me?

    futurepsychrn replied to DerAustin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't understand. I believe "chitchat" as you call it is a necessary part of nursing. It's called "Therapeutic Communication". I'm not even a nurse yet and I understand that! Talking to patients,...

  17. First Clinical

    futurepsychrn posted a topic in General Students

    Just a small rant lol. This weekend I had my first clinical at a LTC facility. While feeding in the dining room, I noticed a fellow student with a resident, the student had a horrified look on her...

  18. First Clinical

    futurepsychrn replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    Thank you for your kind words and support. I know everyone is right, it's just really hard to deal with, especially on the 1st day of clinicals. It's a hard lesson to

  19. Is 71% in Chemistry enough?

    futurepsychrn replied to linzipinzi's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Wow! I want your grading scale! In my school an 80 is a C! We must have a 3.0 (B average) to continue in the program. Granted it is figured by the semester, and credit hours, but geez with your...

  20. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    futurepsychrn replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    My mother was a teacher until forced into retirement when she was 72. She then ran for and won a seat on the Board of Education. Age has nothing to do with how long you should work. She has so much...

  21. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    futurepsychrn replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a first year nursing student at "one of those schools". It is a very rushed program and you must learn very quickly. That being said, any education is what you make of it. If you go the extra...

  22. Ethics

    futurepsychrn posted a topic in General Students

    So I may be making too much of this, but would like opinions especially from experienced nurses. I was in Fundamentals class tonight and the teacher, who is an RN of course, was talking about ethics,...

  23. Ethics

    futurepsychrn replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    I do challenge, question, and disagree, usually on a daily basis! I'm trying to not disagree too much with this instructor though because she and I do not really click ( why I don't have a clue), and...

  24. Ethics

    futurepsychrn replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    She may be training the rest of the class to be dismissive, but Mental Health is where I have always wanted to work. I've seen the struggle that mentally ill patients go through, up close and...

    futurepsychrn posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was just accepted into a nursing program. I'm a older than the average student,51. I'm nervous as heck lol. However, after I get my AAS, I want to go into a specialty. I'm leaning towards psych...
