  1. Got chewed out by my clinical instructor

    Uhh...I fail to see the humor as well. I am in my last year of nursing school and graduate in May... Bottom line, you are in school to learn how to be a nurse. You are an adult and are expected to...
  2. Angry..

    I think the problem is your
  3. Struggling with some doubt...

    Thanks! I think that's a good mindset to
  4. So, I'm struggling with a little bit of doubt. I don't mean doubt in the sense that I'm questioning my choice of nursing. I absolutely love clinicals and I frequently receive compliments from my...
  5. This. Things in the medical world are being updated constantly, and sometimes what's in the current edition of the book is now outdated. Some of my professors have admitted they may be wrong and asked...
  6. Simulation labs and externships

    Thanks!
  7. Hi everyone, I am a second semester nursing student and love it. I'm struggling with simulation labs. I know they're designed to keep us on our toes and help us develop our critical thinking skills,...
  8. I disagree. Perhaps this professor has had previous issues with students not paying attention during her lectures and that's the reason for the rule. I don't think she's "micromanaging" how anyone...
  9. The difficulties of Nursing School. *Rant/Advice*

    Very well said, and I couldn't agree with you more. You would think that by this point fellow students would accept responsibility for their academic success or failure, but sadly that's not always...
  10. I've always wanted to be nurse, but...

    Sometimes you get instructors that you just don't click with, and that's okay. It happens - you're not going to like everyone, and not everyone is going to like you. You're responsible for learning...
  11. Jobs In Nursing School

    Honestly, it really just depends on you. I'm in my second semester of a BSN program right now and have done just fine working a part-time job. I worked 9 hours a week last semester and I'm working 12...
  12. Done with first semester!

    Hello all, I just finished my first semester of my BSN program, and I survived to tell the tale. Lol. I came out with an A in Fundamentals, an A in Pharmacology, an A in my introductory class, and a B...
  13. Done with first semester!

    I have 3 more semesters! I'm a quarter of a nurse...lol. Those grades are awesome, and you should be very proud of yourself! Clinicals were a challenge for me too, even though I'm fairly outgoing. I...
  14. Final Grade D = 74%

    So...did you fail ones of the classes because you violated your instructor's policy on what you can/can't do without their supervision? Or was it your grades? What about the other class, why did you...
  15. Am I making the right decision?

    Only you can determine if you have made the right decision. People choose to go into nursing for a variety of reasons. All jobs have good days and bad days, as well as pros and cons. Most of the time,...

  17. educational value of care plans

    Yes, this is the internet, but I don't think that anyone (in regards to your previous obnoxious comment) was trying to lecture you about life. Furthermore, I do not think anyone asked how many jobs...
  18. educational value of care plans

    I'm in my first semester of nursing school. My program does not include them as part of our grade, but the point of them (from my understanding) is really to get you to start thinking like a nurse. It...

  21. Hi everyone, I'm 2 weeks away from finishing my first semester of nursing school. The semester has flown by, and I'm doing really well, but I feel like I've been hit by a semi. What was your first...
  22. Stupid things that nurses say

    I'm a student. I was changing a patient's dressing the other day, was almost done and taping it up. One of the corners of the tape folded under and stuck and without thinking, I let out an "Oooh..."...

    Windsurfer, Previous posters have stated numerous times that the fears the OP is experiencing are normal, but the level of anxiety the OP is experiencing in relation to those fears is
  24. When did you know you wanted to be a nurse?

    I knew I wanted to be a nurse when I was 15. My grandpa had Parkinson's disease and leukemia. He received hospice care at his home but was later moved to inpatient hospice care. He stayed for 5 days...
