  1. I need to post about how proud I am of myself

    Med-Surg 1 was one of the classes that got me kicked out of my BSN program. Congrats on getting a good grade and fingers crossed that we all make
  2. Maternity Class

    Congrats!! and yeah, Peds is another beast of a class as well.....children are not little adults like some people think. For any hard specialty class I usually buy like supplementary guides to help me...
  3. Classmates Using Test Banks

    This!! The instructors at OP's school probably haven't gone through a test-writing workshop. A test-writing workshop helps instructors in developing their own questions and relying less on questions...
  4. Maternity Class

    UPDATE: I've made a 72 on my second exam but managed to rock our Newborn midterm with an 88 bringing my average up by 4 points!! ?????? Did you manage to pass this beast of a
  5. Were you a bully in high school?

    I was severely bullied during my high school years. It probably had to do with my upbringing and lack of strong parental figures. I remember a bully breaking my nose and it bleeding really bad, and...
  6. The only class I've taken that had an SJW-ish, leftist vibe to it was transcultural nursing, and even then, we didn't delve into who's the most oppressed group out there, and whether or not they...
  7. Maternity Class

    I'm going through OB right now FOR A SECOND TIME in a different program after getting dismissed because of Karen the clinical instructor from hell ??. Got an 80 on my first test, hopefully I do better...
  8. Dismissed from Nursing Program...

    You'll be surprised. I was told someone who went through...wait for it.....11 nursing programs and still didn't manage to graduate
  9. Share your study techniques

    I turn the objectives at the start of a chapter in the book into questions and then try to find the answers to those questions and highlight that information in the book. The week of the test I...
  10. The Long Anticipated Wait: NCLEX Scores

    This is one of the reasons I love living in a state where you can get your results in 2 days to find out if you passed. 7 dollars is totally worth that peace of mind. I couldn't sleep those two days...
  11. Unfair Grading

    OP, you would benefit from reading the book "48 Laws of Power." Just a small excerpt from the book: "Always make those above you feel comfortably
  12. Needing an 80 on both final exams

    OP, did you
  13. Failing out of nursing school at the end

    I was in almost the same position as you were. I was one course and one semester away from graduating this year, until I was dismissed from clinicals for some b****** reason. Pick yourself up and...
  14. First Semester Nursing School - Tips??

    I don't know about that
  15. Nursing as a twenty one year old hispanic male

    I'm a cuban nurse and I graduated from my LPN program in 2018. In my 2 yrs of experience, I have not experienced any difference in the treatment I get from nurses from a different ethnic background,...
  16. School and Other Closures to Control COVID-19 Pandemics

    I can't quote articles off the top of my head, but due to the power of the internet and cell phones, lots of people access the internet on a daily basis, and may access bogus, sensationalist websites...
  17. School and Other Closures to Control COVID-19 Pandemics

    If you believe that my post is showing lack of concern, I apologize. I certainly didn't intend my post to come across like I do not care about the lives of fellow Americans. My vast (or very little)...
  18. School and Other Closures to Control COVID-19 Pandemics

    It may be due to the fact that if they run out of tissues and napkins, they can "blow" their noses with toilet paper. Again, people are overreacting to this disease, and the media is fanning the...
  19. Classmates who cheat

    Even if they pass the NCLEX, you still have to know the information taught in school in order to be competent at your job. Somebody who cheated all the way through school is going to make a slip-up...
  20. LPNs Working on Acute Care Floors

    The funny thing is, hospitals here pay LPNs around 16-18/hr, LOL.
  21. In a ASN program as we speak

    Honestly, you only have four more classes to go. If you were to drop out and try a different school, you'll have to start from square one. You could also try an ABSN program since you already have a...
  22. Best men's watch for male nurses

    Armani Exchange. I still have my white watch from
  23. Maternity Class

    I'm currently taking OB at my school. Honestly, asides from NICU, every other areas seems just slow and boring to me. Nevertheless, the lecture part is highly interesting and technical. Compared with...
  24. NCLEX bad pop up !!!

    Usually, the NCLEX results are usually the most accurate after 24 hours. The NCLEX is graded twice, once after you take it including research questions, and then after 24 hrs when the research...
  25. NCLEX in 75?

    If you got a lot of SATA questions, that's often a very good sign. When I took the PN version, half of my test was SATA, and prioritization questions, they even threw a question with a strip asking me...
