  1. Ethical delema

    direw0lf replied to Cclm's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry if I sound heartless but here goes. Your instructor is "trying to fail you". That means there's some area, personality clash, lacking in a skill, or whatever she's not happy with about with...

  2. Pre-nursing: How to answer NCLEX q's before RN school (or mastering them)

    direw0lf replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Bad attitude to have. With this attitude, you're going to struggle and be unhappy all the way through graduation if you make it that far. It's ok to vent definitely. You are taking it a bit to...

  3. Pre-nursing: How to answer NCLEX q's before RN school (or mastering them)

    direw0lf replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I was the one who told you to practice NCLEX style questions....probably I'm not the only one but I feel a little responsible for NCLEX panic! When I said practice NCLEX style, I meant...

  4. Sent home from clinical :(

    direw0lf replied to marin8campy's topic in General Students

    Sorry I replied to you on the General student forum, I am not stalking you, I just visit these 2 forums. I would look at getting to do head-to-toe in addition to VS's as a great experience, not as...

  5. Expensive stethoscope for student?

    direw0lf replied to hellofish's topic in General Students

    No one in my experience cares whether it's a fancy shmancy electronic or a disposable that one

  6. Sent home from clinical :(

    direw0lf replied to marin8campy's topic in General Students

    The first part of my reply is purely meant for encouragement for you. The last part is suggestion on how to avoid this again if you want to read! I am so glad you aren't failing the semester! That's...

  7. How important is it to get a BSN?

    direw0lf replied to matcha-cat's topic in General Students

    Thanks llg! I guess I was looking at it like, I will have my bsn before this very good nurse and it seemed like her earning the bsn was for nothing, looking at it that way. Thank you for sharing your...

  8. How important is it to get a BSN?

    direw0lf replied to matcha-cat's topic in General Students

    In my local hospitals they are giving the nurses a limited amount of time to start working on their BSN. They are paying a certain amount for their education per year. But the thing is there is a...

  9. Nailed My First Exam!

    direw0lf replied to SunshineNRainbows's topic in General Students

    Great job! And smart not to talk grades with your classmates. I have a huge tendency to get competitive if I hear my classmates talk about grades, but then I have to remind myself I'm studying to be a...

  10. Is Picmonic Worth It?

    direw0lf replied to Rew3n's topic in General Students

    It says when you join with 4 people you get 40% off. If I wasn't in my last year, I'd do it, maybe in the future for NP

  11. Tips for getting a hospital job?

    direw0lf replied to emd096's topic in General Students

    Well..let's see. What do you wear on your interview? Scrubs or business-casual? How would you answer these questions: "What's your weakest and strongest assets?" "Why do you want to work for us?"...

  12. So excited to start nursing school! How to prepare this summer?

    direw0lf replied to dancergirl27's topic in General Students

    Don't make nursing school your whole life...find the balance between work and play. You don't need to sacrifice all your free time in nursing school. I like studying too. Maybe you can double major in...

  13. do my BSN out east, then work in Bay Area - unrealistic?

    direw0lf replied to Priority53's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The facts: You're in your late 30's, maybe 40+ when you graduate? You have a BS in biology already and experience in the field You want to live in San fran. Ever think of going to PA school instead?...

  14. Nurse practitioner specialties

    direw0lf posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi all, Quick question.... when you are looking for jobs and the job listing only specifies Nurse Practitioner (not family or acute care) does that mean the job does not care which one? (I'm still a...

  15. Nurse practitioner specialties

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you lhflanurseNP! I wish they had an NP that could be

  16. Socially anxious nursing student

    direw0lf replied to NZNursingstudent's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is really a journey imo. You won't be the same person as you were on freshman orientation day as you will be standing there at graduation in your cap and gown. You're going to learn and...

  17. Nursing school Q: 1 min/1 question?

    direw0lf replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    There's people who will still complain about the time limit, the limited resources your school/book offers, the unfair teachers, the fault of everyone else's, and whatever else they can find to make...

  18. Nursing school Q: 1 min/1 question?

    direw0lf replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    We couldn't go back to a previous question once answered either. Like a PP said, that's how the NCLEX is. We practiced Kaplan exams, and that's how they are too. The more you do and practice, the...

  19. Smoking

    direw0lf replied to keebler1995's topic in General Students

    Unhealthy foods aren't exactly linked to cancer and asthma exasperation as solidly as tobacco products are. I just don't want to be around it because of the risk to my health, no morality about it,...

  20. Failed a quiz feeling discouraged

    direw0lf replied to nicole95's topic in General Students

    Yeah I would get frustrated in my medsurg1 class when the exams wouldn't have the material the teacher covered. I've said it before on here and I'll say it again! Knowing how to answer nclex style...

  21. eBooks for RN school?

    direw0lf replied to Jyotirachel's topic in General Students

    Can't sell ebooks back? That's the only reason I buy the books. I check to see if I can get enough money back to sell them. Some I have kept though. But if you do a little digging you could find out...

  22. Did you read all of the assigned readings in nursing school ?

    direw0lf replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Students

    If I thought the book was helpful I did all the readings, but that actually only happened in my pediatrics class. It really depends on how the teacher makes her exams and lectures. My medsurg2 teacher...

  23. Nursing school Q: 1 min/1 question?

    direw0lf replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    My OB and peds pharm final, with calculation questions, was just under 1 min per question! Now that was pressure! But we were prepped for it. All our quizzes were 1 min per q, and we had a quiz a...

  24. NP to MD

    direw0lf replied to ClayH's topic in General Students

    No, but that may change in the future...the far future. As I understand it, the state of TN is pushing for Physician Assistants to be able to bridge to a Doctor of Medical Science after gaining...

  25. Not a CNA, LPN, CMA, etc.

    direw0lf replied to RSP.SN's topic in General Students

    Meh. Internship taught me clinicals are nothing like real world nursing. But you have at least 2yrs to go. I waited to become a patient observer until I was done with what was supposedly rated as the...
