  1. Getting out of nursing school alive

    KiggyPupPuff replied to Namaste883's topic in General Students

    I just want to offer encouragement. You certainly don't have to discuss grades with classmates but don't feel weird. And don't think that there is no way to overcome. In going through the process of...

  2. Follow Your Gut Being Productive and Choosing to Withdraw

    KiggyPupPuff replied to NeoNatMom's topic in General Students

    I wish you could have been there to hear my huge sigh of relief after reading your article. I am in a similar situation where I face withdrawal or risk an F. To have an F will bring my GPA way below...

  3. Good grades, substandard clinical performance

    KiggyPupPuff posted a topic in General Students

    Putting this out there to see if anyone has had some experience or have known an RN student similar to myself. I’d appreciate any impressions you have about the scenario I describe below. Be...

    KiggyPupPuff replied to KiggyPupPuff's topic in General Students

    Invaluable advice. Posts like these make me wish I had sought advice earlier. But I am willing to do whatever it takes to fix my mistakes. Thank you so

  5. Good grades, substandard clinical performance

    KiggyPupPuff replied to KiggyPupPuff's topic in General Students

  6. Good grades, substandard clinical performance

    KiggyPupPuff replied to KiggyPupPuff's topic in General Students

    nurseI56, your encouragement means so much. It feels so wrong to "quit" and I had to tell myself that its not "quitting" if I plan to return and remedy my challenges for when I come back. You words...

  7. Any ideas on what would help your clinicals?

    KiggyPupPuff posted a topic in General Students

    So quick background - anxiety disorder counts as a learning impediment and qualifies for learning accommodations at my school (never knew i never knew!) Special needs counselor asked me to think of...

    Agreed.

  9. stinky patient pet peeve

    KiggyPupPuff replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    Yes! This is what I meant to convey in my post. Census dictates if we are allowed to delegate but full care is always our student RN

  10. Any ideas on what would help your clinicals?

    KiggyPupPuff replied to KiggyPupPuff's topic in General Students

    Agreed, I can certainly accept the reality of this. However, it brings to my mind this question:- should I be able to function at the level of a trained and licensed RN, with regard to assuming...

  11. Any ideas on what would help your clinicals?

    KiggyPupPuff replied to KiggyPupPuff's topic in General Students

    Yeah I feel funny about that too. I need help but I hate to be carried and can just imagine the look on my classmates faces - I do not need to be "teacher's pet" on top of everything else. Thanks...

  12. What to do about a hyperverbal classmate?

    KiggyPupPuff replied to spaghetina's topic in General Students

    And enforce it too? In an ideal world here is what I would say: me: how are you today [hyperverbal classmate]? it seems to me that you have lots of ideas on your clinical experience? What are...

  13. student shortcuts

    KiggyPupPuff replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    PBJ dogs - pbutter and jelly on hotdog bun. easy to make and too convenient to handle when eating. also, I take a few minutes to transfer my pbutter into a pastry bag with nozzle so that I just glop...

  14. How can I be taken more seriously?

    KiggyPupPuff replied to Scuba_NurseBSN's topic in General Students

    My apologies, I was carded for rated R movies well into my 20s - a flattering but patronizing curse, and still don't know how to be taken seriously; I wish I could be more useful. What I can offer is...

  15. Good grades, substandard clinical performance

    KiggyPupPuff replied to KiggyPupPuff's topic in General Students

    *gasp! I practice head to toe exams on my 12 year old all the time! Why didn't I think of bed bath? Although my kid would have to keep boxers on and do his own pericare (LOL - sorry if...

  16. Knitting during class: ok or not?

    KiggyPupPuff replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    RNsRWe - its the only name I could think registering. One of my joys after a long day of studying is to baby talk to my fluffy little maltese/shitzu pup, its his nickname. BusyBee - this has...

  17. When do you know it's time to give up? :/

    KiggyPupPuff replied to StudentN123's topic in General Students

    :oMy sincere apologies akulahawkRN, sir . I definitely should know better. Also post-it noting "renew vigor" on the side of my screen - definitely a great goal. StudentN123, just to add - our...

  18. Knitting during class: ok or not?

    KiggyPupPuff replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    my instructors would NOT like it for sure. I'm kinda the same way, I need something to do with my hands as to not distract my ears focusing on lecture. Just throwing it out there - Our lectures are...

  19. stinky patient pet peeve

    KiggyPupPuff replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    In our RN program, routine care (hygiene, feeding, etc) is the student's responsibility on top of ADPIE simply because we don't always have more than 1 patient (due to census). But the CNAs on our...

  20. Good grades, substandard clinical performance

    KiggyPupPuff replied to KiggyPupPuff's topic in General Students

    NurseLateC. I appreciate your thoughts.so much! Its very encouraging to know. But I have 6 more weeks and dont think I can change my instructor's impression before its too late to withdraw. I am...

    KiggyPupPuff replied to StudentN123's topic in General Students

    Agree with akulahawkRN and LOVE her statement "licenses to LEARN". I don't pretend to have an answer for you but for whatever its worth, let me share my experience if only to try to empathize ID'ing...

    KiggyPupPuff replied to melissagj's topic in General Students

    First of all I am glad you have a chance to make it up next January although I know its not ideal. I am facing failure of clinical rotations with the possibility of restarting next August for which i...
