    misskayy posted a topic in General Students

  6. 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...

    misskayy replied to faithandfood's topic in General Students

    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....

    misskayy replied to faithandfood's topic in General Students

    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

    Just wondering if this is done at every nursing school. I hear it's a common thing in the nursing school's in my

  10. Question for anyone who takes colorful notes!

    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

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

    misskayy posted a topic in General Students

    So today I took a CPR course. I'm not in NS yet, but I decided to do it ahead of time. I've made amazing grades in all my prereq courses and every single one of my science professors has praised me as...

    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...

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

    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...

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

    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...

    misskayy replied to misskayy's topic in General Students

    Her boss did come inside the room for a minute to check up on us and she still continued acting childish in front of him. He seemed fed up with her behavior, but who knows he may take her side if I...

  18. How do YOU deal with criticism outside of work?

    misskayy posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm wondering how other nurses deal with criticism and insults outside of work. At work, it's obvious that you must remain professional. But what about outside of work when you're not in uniform? I've...

  19. How do YOU deal with criticism outside of work?

    misskayy replied to misskayy's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't happen that often. It just happens to come from people that I have to see often. I also focus on the negative way too much. I'm aware that I shouldn't, but it's hard not

    misskayy replied to rakels05's topic in TEAS Exam Help
