  1. Nursing School Probs

    OcMurse93 replied to nurseboy12396's topic in General Students

    Wow, could you be any harsher? Not even remotely helpful. For the OP: Dont be afraid to ask for help. Sometimes you feel like you are drowning all by yourself but your classmates are going through the...

  2. 99% sure I failed NCLEX

    OcMurse93 replied to soph22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with the poster above. Also, SATA questions arent the end all be all indicator you are doing well. Prioritization questions are also considered high level questions so those are a good sign....

  3. NCLEX help

    OcMurse93 replied to stressedperson's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    From what it sounds like, this isn't an issue of a lack of understanding, but moreso you are psyching yourself out. It doesn't matter how much you study. If you go into the exam thinking you will...

  4. Help!!! What is the priority for a sickle cell crisis.

    OcMurse93 replied to Solarod's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  7. Leaving patient info in a clipboard

    OcMurse93 posted a topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Alright, so I'm starting nursing school in a couple weeks and I'm trying to find a good clipboard to use. During orientation they mentioned a student who left her clipboard out on the sink when she...

  10. Didn't Pass Human Physiology and not I am not sure what to do now!

    OcMurse93 replied to nsmith18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Something you're going to have to learn about plans is that they're just that, plans. They dont always work out. Very few people actually finish in 4 years because of crowded classes and just life...

  11. What things did you need the most as a nursing student?

    OcMurse93 replied to app18's topic in General Students

  13. 19 years old, working full time and pre reqs.

    OcMurse93 replied to FutureSRNA78's topic in General Students

    It is definitely going to be a busy week. My school recommends no more than 6 units per semester if you're going to be full time. If I was you, I'd focus on getting something part time, or...

  14. Sexism in the Workplace

    OcMurse93 replied to Zyprexa_Ho's topic in Male Nursing Students

    All nurses, male or female, are expected to and should be capable of doing the same amount of work. Calling on other male nurses and cnas repeatedly to do the heavy lifting not only increases your...

  15. Are these good nursing school entry scores?

    OcMurse93 replied to lonelyloner2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My program is a pass/fail option. Also, they (and other programs Ive looked into) only take the first score and don't allow you to retake it. I would make sure they would allow you to submit a higher...

  16. Is it bad that I got over failing a class in like 3 days?

    OcMurse93 replied to alie46's topic in General Students

    Hopefully this is more helpful;) : there are 2 scenarios you are looking at. Scenario 1) you got an extra point and ended up passing the class. You still struggled all the way up until graduation...

  17. I hate working as a CNA!

    OcMurse93 replied to shirlj88's topic in General Students

    First of all, CNA work in a SNF is much different than an RN in a hospital. No wonder you hate your job. You're working with lazy and rude people who are trying to do the bear minimum. I can't...

  18. Cypress College Nursing Program 2016

    OcMurse93 replied to wannabe80's topic in School, College Programs

    Don't forget that all those skills were learned a while ago. 8th grade was about 8 years ago for me and I still needed a refresher. Granted, I probably would have passed anyway. People who are in...

    OcMurse93 replied to wannabe80's topic in School, College Programs

    Now that everyone has taken it, that was seriously way easier than I thought. I took it yesterday and got an 84% and I just reviewed for it briefly. Also 4 people didn't show up yesterday so that may...

    OcMurse93 replied to Compassionate22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you read the original post, she was being discouraged about having 2 jobs and was looking for advice on how to manage it, as well as some encouragement. So YES you were rude AND unhelpful....
