  7. Cheating? Girl tells me to get a study girl so I can cheat

    monkeyhq replied to stunurse2015's topic in General Students

    You are welcome! Best of luck to you. Work hard, study hard. Don't be afraid to ask questions. And always put your academic success ahead of any study group success. Nursing school is a period...

  8. Age

    monkeyhq replied to rewob716's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I started school in my 40's. I think there are distinct advantages to attending nursing school in our age group. We have 'wisdom' and life experience. We have discipline. We generally do not have...

  10. Cheating? Girl tells me to get a study girl so I can cheat

    monkeyhq replied to stunurse2015's topic in General Students

    I did almost all of my work on my own, without study groups. The only time I used the study group was for rehearsing skills, vocabulary quizzing, and mandatory group projects ("you five have...

  11. Cheating? Girl tells me to get a study girl so I can cheat

    monkeyhq replied to stunurse2015's topic in General Students

    I would add regarding the study group: Don't allow anyone to do the work for you! Back when I was in school, we had a take-home style exam. I didn't participate in the study group 'work' on the...

  14. So Frustrated I Could Cry..

    monkeyhq replied to NurseQT's topic in General Nursing

    I believe I stated my opinion, and suggested she at least give timely notice, rather than springing it upon everyone. That isn't a guilt trip. I went in to nursing to care for patients, and I took...

  15. Why is Med-Surg so hated?

    monkeyhq replied to Nola009's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I don't believe it sucks, but it is not a walk in the park. Fresh out of school, you absolutely need to be in Med Surg, in my opinion. This is where you really learn so much about being a nurse, and...

  16. So Frustrated I Could Cry..

    monkeyhq replied to NurseQT's topic in General Nursing

    You bring up a good point...integrity. My father would never want me to do anything to lose my job, or inconvenience a lot of other people. I am so lucky to have an amazing father that I love very...

    monkeyhq replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    monkeyhq replied to NurseQT's topic in General Nursing

    I certainly understand your frustration, and the pain. A lot of great ideas here, and only you know what is best for YOU. I do believe that asking for the date to be moved is a great alternative,...
