  1. Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    living-dead-girl replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    While I hear you and will consider making changes, is it not unethical being so anonymous online? Shouldn't we fight for more transparency and have policies in place that protect people from being...

  2. Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    living-dead-girl replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    I won't give up! lol It's just not in my nature- I'm sure that's pretty evident though.

  3. Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    living-dead-girl replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    You seem to feel very personally attacked by me, although I don't really understand why. I apologize if anything I said sounded patronizing, but you seem to do it well yourself. Everything I said was...

  4. Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    living-dead-girl replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    What an odd question. I've never been in a texting-while-driving car accident, but I still know the rights and wrongs about it. PS- I wouldn't consider myself preaching, just voicing my opinion. Like...

  5. How to study for nursing exams?

    living-dead-girl replied to PrettyNerd's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hi! I'm in an LPN program, and many of the students did not do as well as they'd hoped on their first exam either- but I did pretty well, so I'll tell you what I did to prepare! I love using my...

  6. Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    living-dead-girl replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you're speaking more out of a negative personal experience with a student than as a whole concept? If you had nursing students who followed you into the latrine (which is a private area...

  7. Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    living-dead-girl replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    The "professionalism" I'm referring to spans across ALL professional jobs, so please don't get on a high horse and think that nurses are the only "profession" I'm referring to. Also, saturating your...

  8. I just failed my first nursing exam

    living-dead-girl replied to Student2017555's topic in General Students

    Wow, that 80% is cut-off is a little rough- my school fails you at 75% or less, so I know your pain! My initial suggestion would be to take a step back and look at the questions you missed and what...

  9. Nursing associations?

    living-dead-girl replied to M4rilyn's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Thanks for letting me know- I had no idea!

  10. Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    living-dead-girl replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    ***I am a student nurse, so this is coming from MY perspective given all of the feedback going on in previous comments.*** Here is the tl;dr version of how I think things should be: -Students should...

  11. Nursing associations?

    living-dead-girl replied to M4rilyn's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    At our college, we are a part of the NFLPN (What is the NFLPN? All About the NFLPN) and that is strictly for LPNs and LPN students. Our dues are $25 per year and they offer scholarships, recognition...

  12. Study strategies!

    living-dead-girl replied to nurse2bchrischris's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I am speaking from a slightly different perspective, as all my books are digital (per my institution's policy), so sorry if some of this may not carry over. -I love flashcard apps like Study Blue and...

    YAY! 2016 LPN Graduates represent!! I will be graduating in July of 2016 (I just started my program this August) and am already thinking about the future. So far I have thoroughly enjoyed the skills...

  14. New LPN student

    living-dead-girl replied to 2bNurseashleyh's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Okay, so here's the deal- I prefaced what I had to say by telling everyone that I usually DO NOT write such negative things, and I mean it. However, the only negative things I mentioned were in...

  15. Only the begining and I am so scared

    living-dead-girl replied to crystalgraz's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hey, I just started my LPN program in August. I completely understand! Here's the thing- your instructors WANT you to succeed. It is perfectly okay if you don't immediately rattle off all the points,...

  16. New LPN student

    living-dead-girl replied to 2bNurseashleyh's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I normally wouldn't post something negative, but I feel like this may help someone out in the future, so here goes. I would never, ever try to obtain any level of medical licensing from a "tv college"...

    living-dead-girl replied to kellylil's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  18. Stethoscope help

    living-dead-girl replied to TitanChrissy's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hi! I would definitely recommend checking out allheart.com, as someone earlier suggested. I purchased my Littmann Classic II stethoscope and my BP cuff from them, as well as some other items, and...
