  1. Is this legal?

    thimba replied to songbird1's topic in Texas Nursing

    This type of system is definitely standard practice. At my school tests/final are worth 80% of our grade. In order to pass the class we need at least a 76% exam average. If that 76% exam average is...

  2. Question for Day Shift Nurses Who Own a Dog

    thimba replied to westieluv's topic in General Nursing

    Doggie door? Or pay a neighborhood kid to let the dog out when they get home from

  3. Accelerated Nursing-Missouri

    thimba replied to dnr7616's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh I also graduated from Truman with a not-so-great GPA. It's so frustrating because nursing schools look at cumulative GPA only, not the difficulty of the school. If I had gone to a different school...

  4. Struggling with an unmotivated clinical group

    thimba replied to nursemeanie's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Here's how it could end badly... The student gets a compliment (like they are a child) then decides from that compliment they are excelling at clinicals and don't need to do anything more. Then they...

  5. Clinical Confusion?

    thimba replied to PoppyCorn99's topic in General Students

    Were you not assigned a nurse to follow? My very first day at clinicals I was at an LTC facility and I wasn't given a nurse to follow, but that never happened again. Usually you should be paired up...

  6. Help with IV flow rate?

    thimba replied to dreamer0x's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    As a general rule, we don't want to just give you the answer, so it helps if you show us the work you have attempted so

  7. I harmed my first patient today.

    thimba replied to starwarrior's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Woahh where was your clinical instructor/a nurse while you were doing this? Someone is supposed to be supervising you whenever you do skills! It doesn't seem like you did anything wrong, but someone...

  8. Being Overweight

    thimba replied to 2014Student's topic in General Students

    Once nurses are actually out on the floor, they will be transferring obese patients. They may as well get some practice

  9. Chamberlain Phx, AZ - BSN Program Input

    thimba replied to KJet5's topic in Chamberlain College

    I'm currently at the Phoenix location. The professors have been wonderful so far-- so much better than my professors I previously had while getting my first BS degree at a different university....

  10. Failed a syllabus quiz already??

    thimba replied to Tinkk's topic in General Students

    You're going to fail if you get in that mindset. Stop doubting yourself and keep trying. In this post alone you have just listed negative things. Stop thinking that way and go forward with a positive...

  11. Reviews of the new Littmann Classic III?

    thimba posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Has anyone tried out the newest Littmann Classic III? I am a nursing student and I am buying my first stethoscope. From what I have read, I should go with the Classic II S.E or the Cardiology III. The...

  12. Getting in with poor grades but high test scores.

    thimba replied to jr307's topic in School, College Programs

    Maybe you could try applying to a few community colleges and take some nursing pre-reqs there. Once you get good grades in those classes then you may be a better candidate for a BSN program if the...

  13. HELP!!! I'm failing Med-Surge!!!

    thimba replied to berna4593's topic in General Students

    Who in your class has been doing consistently well on all of the tests? Find that out, and then meet with him/her and ask them EXACTLY what they are doing to study. Are they reading the book?...

  14. mgmt and pre employment drug screen

    thimba replied to Ozymandia's topic in Nurse Management

    They won't deny employment if you're actually prescribed those meds. If you test positive then you will probably get a phone call asking you to provide proof of prescription, or they will ask for your...

  15. Chamberlain College of Nursing BSN in Phoenix

    thimba posted a topic in Chamberlain College

    Hey, everyone! I am planning on attending Chamberlain College of Nursing in Phoenix this September for my BSN. I have heard that a lot of their BSN classes are online. I am curious as to which ones...

  16. I am ready to LEAVE Chamberlain! Would NOT recommend

    thimba replied to PryingNini's topic in Chamberlain College

    I had no problem talking to our clinical coordinator, she actually emailed me back within the hour on a few occasions. All of my teachers have been wonderful, professional and

  17. Chamberlain Las Vegas, nv campus

    thimba replied to ellebelle's topic in School, College Programs

    I am currently attending there. I already have a bachelors in another field, so I had a decent amount of credits to transfer over. Chamberlain took 100% of the credits I thought they should accept--...

  18. Advanced English composition

    thimba replied to Ashley 84190's topic in Chamberlain College

    I'm actually in the traditional BSN program and I am taking most of my classes on the Phoenix campus. I just started the program in September so I have not had experience with many classes yet. I am...

  19. Advanced English composition

    thimba replied to Ashley 84190's topic in Chamberlain College

    I'm actually in that class right now! It is pretty easy and straight forward, I wouldn't worry about it too much if I were you. Since it is an online class much of the grade is based on your...

  20. Which size scrubs should I get?

    thimba posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Hey, everyone. I am attending Chamberlain and we have to order our scrubs online. Because of this, I have no idea what size to get! It looks like there is only one size for the women's top, but there...

  21. Anxiety is high; potential nursing program in turmoil

    thimba replied to BeachsideRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just read through all your previous posts. I think you made a great choice not picking option A. If they messed up something as simple as sending you an acceptance letter, then their department...

  22. Brown Mackie College

    thimba replied to cbean07's topic in General Nursing

    They're not accredited. None of your credits will transfer to any other school/grad school. You also will most likely not be hired, because hospitals are requiring that applicants attended an...

  23. Chamberlain College of Nursing

    thimba replied to be324's topic in Chamberlain College

    I would encourage anyone reading this to be extremely weary of attending Brookline. Even if they say their "job placement" rate is 90%- this doesn't mean that 90% of graduates found work in...

  24. Chamberlain College of Nursing BSN in Phoenix

    thimba replied to thimba's topic in Chamberlain College

    Thank you for your helpful response, I'm sorry I didn't respond sooner. I am very excited to start classes in a few days! I am coming into school with a decent amount of transfer credits-- so during...

  25. Chamberlain College of Nursing

    thimba replied to be324's topic in Chamberlain College

    Hi Bretsin, I am actually in one of your classes at Chamberlain (you had previously sent out an email to our class and I recognized your name). I was also torn between GCU and Chamberlain as well....
