   shock-me-sane replied to brittney140's topic in General Students

   I don't know to be honest. Not a single person in my class made it through with a 4.0. Our first quarter the highest grade was a B+, so that pretty much made that not possible for everyone. I hope you...

2. HOPKINS: 20 minutes into the show

   shock-me-sane replied to HopeItWorksDNP's topic in General Nursing

   I had high hopes about this show. But they fell short. The only reason that I did like it was the real life situations of the patients. And I don't think this will make it in the general public. Not...

3. selling ATI books?

   shock-me-sane replied to shock-me-sane's topic in General Students

   ATI was helpful in testing, yes. What I hated about the program was the fact that we got graded based on the tests rather than it just being a tool. We did not do virtual

   shock-me-sane posted a topic in General Students

   I was just wondering if anyone had success selling their ATI books/DVDs on ebay or elsewhere? I don't want to keep the things and really need a couple bucks.

6. Are you scared of a dead person?

   shock-me-sane replied to gwapalicious's topic in First Year After Licensure

   when you see dead people it isn't in the morgue (you take them there), so it isn't like movies you see of pulling bodies out of the fridge and such. I don't mind dead people. A lot of times it is...

7. My hands shake!

   shock-me-sane replied to Ang_RN's topic in General Students

   I used to shake a ton. Once I somehow managed to "throw" a syringe when I was trying to draw up a med in front of my instructor. Thankfully it was at the med cart and she didn't give me a hard time. I...

8. Student Athletes Nursing

   shock-me-sane replied to jst81161's topic in General Nursing

   I would say that it would be close to impossible. One of my friends was a part of the D2 softball team and had to quit so she could complete NS. The time and travel involved in sports will be a...

   shock-me-sane replied to gaajr1's topic in General Students

   we had to take that. I looked at my ati results and the areas it graded on was Evaluation Inference Explanation Analysis Interpretation Self-regulation It was 3 years ago since I took it, but I do...

10. Clinical supervision by instructors

    shock-me-sane replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    For me I wouldn't say it was the norm. I had a bad clinical instructor first year who would hide in the conference room and grade papers. Other than that I don't have many complaints about clinical...

11. west coast vs east coast

    shock-me-sane replied to shock-me-sane's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry I should have been more clear. The dean of our nursing department told the student that they are much more progressive on the east coast and she will have some work to do to "catch up". I...

    good luck! I took it last August and got a 1330, but I am applying to different programs. If you have been studying since april you should be fine. My only suggestion (which I didn't do) is look over...
