    Grades don't matter!

    DLS_PMHNP replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    What point are you trying to make here? "Jealousy breeds comtempt????" It's a choice whether or not to have children.

    Grades don't matter!

    DLS_PMHNP replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    First off, I don't have kids nor do I plan to. Why would it matter if they used that excuse anyway? It's no one's business what grades they are getting. And I GUARANTEE you they are taking the same...

    Grades don't matter!

    DLS_PMHNP replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    I never mentioned stress in relation to poor test takers. Not sure of the correlation. How in the world could you compare the stress of a life and death situation to a person taking a Med/Surg exam?...

    Grades don't matter!

    DLS_PMHNP replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. I have a 3.77 GPA and I respect each and every one of my fellow students who makes it through school and passes their state boards, regardless of their GPA and how hard they work. Truthfully,...

    Grades don't matter!

    DLS_PMHNP replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    Not all students are good 'test takers,' but some of these same students will be fabulous clinicians. Good grades are not the only measure of how one will perform as a professional nurse in the...

    Misdemeanor OCC

    DLS_PMHNP replied to fetachz's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You are absolutely right. But the point I was making (and it sounded harsh after re-reading it, so my apologies to the OP), is that we are held to VERY HIGH standards as future and current nurses....

    Misdemeanor OCC

    DLS_PMHNP replied to fetachz's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Not trying to judge, buy why in the world would you think it is acceptable to drive on a suspended license after too many traffic violations??? You may have trouble getting into any program because...

    What was the hardest skill for you to learn?

    DLS_PMHNP replied to FutureNurse33702's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    With all due respect, everyone has their areas of difficulty. Not EVERYTHING is EASY for everyone, including yourself I'm sure. If we were all experts in everything, the world would be a pretty boring...

    DLS_PMHNP replied to sunchild's topic in General Students

    This is going to sound really selfish.. but... Nursing school is all about YOU.. it has to be. You have worked long and hard to get to where you are. You will find there is not much time to worry...

    DLS_PMHNP replied to Tony1790's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm a nursing student and worked as a PCA in a hospital while going to school. It is backbreaking (and sometimes) thankless work but it needs to be done in order to provide good patient care. Nothing...

    Your mother must be very proud of you. Seriously. Why post something so offensive and ludicrous? Come on, this is an adult forum. I'll bet most of us aren't in high school
