  1. "Smart" students make bad nurses?

    joseyjo posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I have heard time and time again from nursing professors and clinical adjuncts that "4.0 students often have a hard time transitioning to the floor, B or C students make better nurses". While I...

  2. Why are some people on here so rude?

    joseyjo replied to Upward_Bound's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Isn't it funny when people call other people dumb, then end up looking dumb

  3. Do I aspirate too violently?

    joseyjo replied to lorelei13's topic in General Nursing

    I don't get it. Either follow evidence based practice, or do what your instructor says. I don't understand about asking more questions about how to aspirate in a different way, when EBP says you're...

  4. Tardiness

    joseyjo replied to Vtachy1's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Current nursing student here. At my school if you're more than 5 minutes late to clinical you are dismissed for the day and must make up that clinical day. If it happens more than twice you fail the...

  5. Dual relationships and duty to care

    joseyjo replied to ShanHan's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Why? For what reason do you need/want this

  6. Do I aspirate too violently?

    joseyjo replied to lorelei13's topic in General Nursing

    Just a nursing student here, but that sounds NOTHING like how we were taught to aspirate. We just pull back for maybe 1 second, and only 1 time. Why would you need to pull back 5-10 sec or multiple...

  7. "Smart" students make bad nurses?

    joseyjo replied to joseyjo's topic in General Nursing

    Can you give an example of a post that says or implies that A students works harder than B or C students? I truly am curious as I have read every post and didn't get that out of any of them. I never...

  8. "Smart" students make bad nurses?

    joseyjo replied to joseyjo's topic in General Nursing

    Why? Why is it borderline offensive? The vast majority of the responses have indicated that grades are not indicative (either way) of the successful transition of new nurses. No one has said that a B...

  9. "Smart" students make bad nurses?

    joseyjo replied to joseyjo's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the articulate and thorough reply. I especially like the bold part, as I agree that people tend not to deal well with adversity until they have experienced it. I think A,C, and D may...

  10. "Smart" students make bad nurses?

    joseyjo replied to joseyjo's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, that's why I didn't

  11. "Smart" students make bad nurses?

  12. "Smart" students make bad nurses?

    joseyjo replied to joseyjo's topic in General Nursing

    In our school our instructors are also our clinical advisors for that rotation. Almost every clinical my instructors have pulled me aside and told me that they are very surprised at how well I...

  13. "Smart" students make bad nurses?

    joseyjo replied to joseyjo's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is a very good point, and something I have been thinking about. I DON'T have a lot of patient experience (tons of people experience, but not so much patient). I applied for a paid...

  14. "Smart" students make bad nurses?

    joseyjo replied to joseyjo's topic in General Nursing

    Lol, I was very tempted to do just this the last time a professor brought it up in class. Some of the students didn't do well on an exam and I think she was trying to make them feel better. I decided...

  15. "Smart" students make bad nurses?

    joseyjo replied to joseyjo's topic in General Nursing

    I agree 100%. I would never disparage someone who got a B or C, but getting a 94-100 is good too. I work hard to learn as much as I can, and retain as much as I can- not for the grade but for the...

  16. "Smart" students make bad nurses?

    joseyjo replied to joseyjo's topic in General Nursing

    This really resonates with me. It's not that I haven't had to overcome, but I have always been able to push hard enough to get what I wanted most of the time. Any ideas on how I can better my chances...

  17. Okay, this is random ... but under-scrub shirts! Specific needs.

    joseyjo replied to Lunah's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Have you tried getting a tagless shirt and turning it backwards? I do that with tank tops under clothing because they show less cleavage that way

  18. Volunteering

    joseyjo replied to Elliot.Kane's topic in General Nursing

    Do you need to be bilingual to get a job near the border? I am sure it is preferred, but is it

  19. Volunteering

    joseyjo replied to Elliot.Kane's topic in General Nursing

    I volunteer at at Pregnancy crisis center. Not nursing specific (don't have to have a nursing license) but the skills used (especially the communication/interview skills) are very compatible with...

  20. Microbiology

    joseyjo replied to km1427's topic in General Students

    At my college Bio 101 is a prereq to A&P and micro. It was possible to take A&P and micro together, but highly discouraged

  21. Help me pass!

    joseyjo replied to Tobenursemj's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    But why? Why would an antidysrhythmic help angina? What trait does this antidysrhythmic have that treats the patho of angina? If you could explain that, then maybe you would have a chance of getting...

  22. Help me pass!

    joseyjo replied to Tobenursemj's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This one is really easy to figure out if you get down to the basics. What is the main purpose of each class of drug? Nitrates - vasodilation. Antidysrhythmics- well...anti- dysrhythmic. What is...

  23. LPN Or RN-BSN program CONFUSED

    joseyjo replied to LondonsMommy13's topic in General Nursing

    You may want to check into the GPA requirements at some of the BSN schools in your area. The ones in my area won't even interview if your GPA is below 3.5. Once you find out what the cut off is you...

  24. Any tips for getting a job after nursing school?

    joseyjo replied to brooks222's topic in General Students

    Have you worked in the field, before or during nursing

  25. Why are some people on here so rude?

    joseyjo replied to Upward_Bound's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LOL, I can almost read this - just not sure what "spr"
