   I have to get this off my chest, but it doesn't seem like a common problem with nursing students. I grew up with strict parents who instilled good habits and values in me. I always listened to my...

5. Nursing instructor gave a Warning for being late to first day of clinicals despite emailing her? What should I do?

   misskayy replied to faithandfood's topic in General Students

   This. If I could go back in time, I would not go to nursing school. Sad, but true. They are so extra about everything. It's almost like joining the military. The funny thing is, my nursing school...

   Right! But then they'll also tell you "Please don't come to clinical if you're sick... just stay home, please" *face palm* Luckily, my immune system has strengthened since I've started nursing school....

   Ah nursing school... don't you love it? I disagree with a lot of commenters on here. She shouldn't have gotten angry if you gave an excuse. **** happens. That's the problem with nursing culture, they...

   misskayy posted a topic in General Students

   I'm wondering what you use to take colorful notes. I'd really love to buy gel pens, but I hear they take a while to dry and smear easily. Any

10. Already been told I shouldn't be a nurse (Rant)

    misskayy replied to misskayy's topic in General Students

    Did you not read the last few sentences in my post? I'm not so much hurt, but shocked how unprofessional some people can be, especially towards a beginner. I've had some bad days, but I never took it...

    misskayy replied to misskayy's topic in General Students

    It's better to prepare yourself for the worst. I'd hate to be the student who thinks nursing is all lollipops and rainbows and then finds out it can be horrible at times. I've read the stories here...

    misskayy replied to misskayy's topic in General Students

    Yep. She was a paramedic. She kept asking these difficult questions (things that we, as students, would not know at the top of our heads) and she would look directly at me until I nodded or shook my...
