  1. Why can't we all just get along?

    milesims replied to milesims's topic in General Students

    Yes, it really is different.. At the university I'm at, it's only a 70 to get in. They don't seem to let you in unless you have some prior experience. Many of them require 1 to 2 years experience out...

  6. Opinions on nursing students?

    milesims replied to milesims's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I honestly think it depends on the nurse and the type of person she/he is. I've met nurses who see students as simply students, who need guidance and are more than happy to provide it for them. But...

  7. Fitness To Work?

    milesims replied to CanadianRN16's topic in Canada

    That's ridiculous. But I suppose it would benefit you more than anybody. If you're injured on the job, you can refer back to your medical assessment and argue against the company. It's a good back up...

  8. Slander by a student. What would you (or your school) do?

    milesims replied to 4th Act RN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    There was a similar issue at my school regarding slandering a professor. A few students would post on social media bad things about a professor and make fun of him/her throughout the semester. I...

  9. Why can't we all just get along?

    milesims replied to milesims's topic in General Students

    I agree with you, it might definitely matter in your area. Especially if you're from the U.S. However, in the grad schools here, you only need a 70 avg to be considered. If you have 80, you're...

    milesims replied to milesims's topic in General Students

    If it helps you sleep at night, that's fine with

  11. Why can't we all just get along?

    milesims replied to milesims's topic in General Students

    I've made many great friendships in nursing and was voted as representative. I do not think I talk inappropriately at all on this site, and simply voice my opinion. You can choose to ignore my posts...

  12. Struggling with an unmotivated clinical group

    milesims replied to nursemeanie's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Yes, in fourth year we work full time during the school year. I am happy for the experience, but they treat this placement as a "class." We are not supervised 99% of the time unless we are giving...

  13. Job Offer in Home Health

    milesims replied to iowanursemom's topic in Home Health

    I'm in Canada. Over here, the salaries are lower than the hospital by an average of $10 an hour. At least in my province. I believe because this business is still growing. I run a non-medical home...

  14. Struggling with an unmotivated clinical group

    milesims replied to nursemeanie's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    If you actually read my comments, we work 8-12 hours a week during the school year. In the summer, we work FULL-TIME, 8-12 hours a day, for a full month. How would you like to pay somebody $1600 a...

  15. Struggling with an unmotivated clinical group

    milesims replied to nursemeanie's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    It is a Canadian thing. I don't know about the U.S., but I speak from a Canadian perspective and believe me, we ARE workers from the LITERAL definition of worker, which is, "a person or animal that...

    milesims replied to milesims's topic in General Students

    I've never really thought of it from that point of view... Thank you for your

  17. What offends you (nursing related)?

    milesims replied to milesims's topic in General Nursing

    I have already received a grant and my master business license for this company. I already technically own the agency, but am not accepting clients until June 2016. I have the website, brochures,...

  18. Opinions on nursing students?

    milesims replied to milesims's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This will definitely be more constructive than the posts I've been getting Thank you so much! I will definitely check it out!

  19. Struggling with an unmotivated clinical group

    milesims replied to nursemeanie's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    No. It's not your responsibility. But it'd be a nice thing to do to lift students up by letting them know what they did right. Again, positive reinforcement brings about positive actions. These lazy,...

  20. Job Offer in Home Health

    milesims replied to iowanursemom's topic in Home Health

    I currently own a home care agency, and have done quite a bit of research on this topic. It is generally lower pay when compared to the hospital, and you'll have to do a lot of driving around. But you...

  21. Making the Dean's list

    milesims replied to Nurse2bCerebellum's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Who needs Dean's list when you have a transcript with a 3.4 avg? It's very simple. Whenever somebody else asks you if you're on the list, just shove your handy transcript in their face and whisper...

  22. work and school at the same time...

    milesims replied to froggy8's topic in General Nursing

    I worked 40 hours a week in my first year of full-time nursing. I worked weekends, my one weekday off, and after school. I achieved straight As. If you really want it, like I did, then you can do it....

  23. Tardiness

    milesims replied to Vtachy1's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    There was a time when everybody in my group was late to clinical, that included the clinical instructor. My friend and I made it on time because we left two hours early since we had something else to...

  24. Struggling with an unmotivated clinical group

    milesims replied to nursemeanie's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Since when was this about me? I get straight As, received compliments from every clinical instructor I've been with because I do things right, and run my own home care agency while in school. Don't...

  25. Struggling with an unmotivated clinical group

    milesims replied to nursemeanie's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I don't know where you went to school, but where I am, students WORK in clinical placements, for FREE. Actually, I pay the school $800 a semester to work. I don't know what your definition of "worker"...
