  1. I need help / advice

    cupcakeluver replied to vintagemother's topic in General Students

    I agree with previous posters. I'm a student too so I know what you're going through. I think it's super important to be especially nice and humble, even if it's not fair. In my opinion, a whole lot...

  2. 3rd semester issues

    cupcakeluver posted a topic in General Students

    Hey guys! I love this site and all the great advice. I'm a 3rd semester student in an ADN program and I graduate in May. I failed my first test ever 2 weeks ago. It has me scared to death. I thought...

  3. Wearing skirts as a nurse

    cupcakeluver replied to purplescrubs15's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I agree with changing once you leave your house. I also understand and appreciate your desire to be honest. It's a difficult decision that only you can make. I guess I would just not mention it to...

  4. What does your school have you wear to the Pinning Ceremony?

    cupcakeluver replied to KathyVandy's topic in General Students

    Oh but yes. My school scrubs are white. I graduate in May. It's been a challenge keeping them fresh. The school did change the color to grey for the incoming freshman class. It does not include us...

  5. I just failed my first nursing exam

    cupcakeluver replied to Student2017555's topic in General Students

    That 80 cut off is tough. My school is the same way. There is not much room for error. The good thing is that you only missed your cutoff by just a few points. At least you didn't miss it by 20...

  6. Having a hard time making friends

    cupcakeluver replied to oliviaapNS's topic in General Students

    I'm by myself a lot at school. I'm a 3rd semester student so it's been going on for over a year now. It bothers me sometimes. Especially when our instructor announces we will be paired up for group...

  7. How hard is nursing school?

    cupcakeluver replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is hard for me. It's not something that comes super easy. I have to put in significant amounts of time and effort to be successful. I read all the assigned chapters. I've done over 4000...

  8. Taking a class in which a lot of people seem to have a background in anatomy...

    cupcakeluver replied to PianoTiles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I never took any kind of intro class. I had been out of high school for a while and was told I needed A&P, so I took it. Looking back, I wish I had been offered something like what you're doing...

  9. Screwed Over by My School

    cupcakeluver replied to Brilton's topic in General Students

    What school is this? Or at least what's your general area? I'm in TN too and this kind of sounds like some issues I've had at my school. Nothing this serious....but issues with financial aid and...

  10. First year nursing student and I'm worried

    cupcakeluver replied to raynae14's topic in General Students

    I agree with the poster who mentioned Nclex questions and writing the rationales. Writing helps me to remember better. The questions help you apply that critical thinking that everyone is talking...

  11. Seeing the Light

    cupcakeluver replied to NurseGirl525's topic in General Students

    It's technically only 9 months until graduation in May. That's when I graduate too. Really it's only 8 months since there's only one week left in this month. I'm keeping the countdown pretty accurate!...

  14. Starting Med Surg in 2 Weeks

    cupcakeluver replied to mnw9412's topic in General Students

    Third semester student here. I start my second Med-Surge course and Peds in 5 days. The first Med-Surge course was tough. I definitely had to stay on top of the reading. I'm a big fan of questions. I...

  15. Nursing school

    cupcakeluver replied to juju0889's topic in General Students

    It's hard. It certainly takes dedication. If you want to be a nurse, then you have to give school 100%. Sometimes the social life or particular family obligations have to take a back seat when you...

  16. Help Me Please!

    cupcakeluver replied to J3w3lz88's topic in General Students

    I'm a weirdo that likes reading for fun. I always have. Nursing textbooks are not so much fun.....depending on what material we are covering for that test. Some of the material is more interesting to...

  17. New Nurse ... not distinguishing myself as brilliant

    cupcakeluver replied to SilverSister's topic in General Nursing

    Hello SilverSister. Lowly student here. I start my 3rd semester of a 4 semester program in two weeks. As graduation looms closer, I've been sneaking over here to the nurses side to gain some further...

  18. clinicals

    cupcakeluver replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    OP....I get where you're coming from about some alone time. I'm starting 3rd semester in August. Lunch breaks have been different each semester for me, based on the instructor. Some instructors wanted...

  19. Do you KNOW what nursing is?

    cupcakeluver replied to Glycerine82's topic in General Students

    I almost jumped out of my chair with a triumphant screech when I saw the "read the book" comment!!!! Several classmates have asked me what my study routine is like and when I tell them that I always...

  20. How did you pass mental health course?

    cupcakeluver replied to Natasha A.'s topic in General Students

    I just finished up my psych rotation prior to summer break. A lot of people had a difficult time with the class. I really enjoyed it and found it interesting which helped me to do well. In my class,...

    Hey guys....I started this thread in hopes of soliciting some honest feedback. I'm about to start 3rd semester of my program in August. One of the very first topics that we covered in the beginning of...

  22. Honest reply....

    cupcakeluver replied to cupcakeluver's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the awesome replies. There's definitely some options in there that I hadn't considered so I appreciate the responses. And as someone mentioned above, white strips won't cut it! My teeth...

  23. Passing cut offs

    cupcakeluver replied to vonricter222's topic in General Students

    My school is 80% as well. Additional assignments or projects are pass/fail. The only grades that count are the five tests we have each semester. It is hard. I'm hoping that it will enable me to pass...
