    Tattoos in Nursing School

    I wouldn't do it until you graduate. I have 4 tattoos below my elbows -- I will be wearing a lab jacket to clinical. I love my tattoos and plan to get half a sleeve soon and do not regret them BUT I...

    GPA for nursing school

    Depends on how competitive the school your planning to attend it. Call the college and asking them the average GPA of student's accepted in to the clinical seat (if they will tell you? not sure) that...

    Advice background check

    oh man, yes contact your advisor. Hopefully he can get your domestic violence charge brought down because I don't see many people wanting to hire you as a nurse with that. How in the world did you get...

    Nursing Student Disability

    The best advice I can give as a current student is that you have to give it all you've got. I have been through a few ups and down in my personal life while trying to get my RN degree. You can't make...

    do you think this is rude?

    I totally agree but I wouldn't take it personally. Many people in life, even in nursing, are very lazy...just gotta keep doing you and brush it

    Anatomy and Physiology grades this semester.

    Ah, I just spent this semester getting my soul sucked by A+P 2 - no exaggerating. I have been a 4.0 student the last 2.5 years and I had been sitting on an 85% most of the class until I scored high...

    Never wanna take students again.

    Off topic but I have noticed the fighting for clinical spots here as well, wonder whats fueling that, the student population now (not asking sarcastically)?? I actually picked my program based on the...

    Are we doing good for our patients?

    Although not in a hospital, the one and only time I have performed CPR, was on a 80 something year old LTC patient, confined to a bed, in pain all the time, and confused -- who was a full code per her...

    Nursing student frustrated by CNAs...

    Ugh, I feel for you. You seem very receptive to feedback which is great -- that has been one of the things that has always separated me from other students/co-workers - I welcome it, I am not offended...

    College books are the biggest scams ever

    I have really tried to get into using an e-textbook. I have learned how to do notes on the power point instead of writing on paper ones so I figured I could do the same with the e-book. I cant!! I...

    Never wanna take students again.

    I am an LPN-RN student and I totally empathize with you. We are completely separated from traditional RN students and the class always gets slashed 50-75% after the first semester. Many LPNs think...

    College books are the biggest scams ever

    I just got my final A+P 2 grade: A -. You know many times I opened that book this semester? Zero. Professor didn't like the book. It's one of those unbound books too so can't sell it back : (. I also...

    College books are the biggest scams ever

    I figured that out just this year lol I didn't print out one power point -- not sure why I did it before. Now I just type directly onto the power

    Do any of your teachers give out final exam study guides?

    UM NO. And after my comprehensive 13 chapter A+P 2 final tonight, I would have paid for one. I still have stomach cramps from it 4 hours later...it was rough dude and I have done well in that class so...

    College books are the biggest scams ever

    I have NO idea what the book is. My advisor alerted me to it so I could be prepared to pay for it when I start in July. Apparently, it was a big shocker when your told in May that your starting in...

    LVN new grad needs advice please!

    Playing devil's advocate a bit here: 4 weeks is actually quite a bit of training, even for a new grad. I can see preparing the vaccines before the doctor leaves the room if the MD relays to you he/she...

    College books are the biggest scams ever

    Yeah, I need to start looking into different options, this is getting ridiculous. I just always wanted to be prepared so I always buy the book a month before the class. Kinda regretting that now. We...
