2. Is professor homophobic or just tough?

   genhen replied to RISC601's topic in Male Students

   Chadley, I am a heterosexual male nursing student. I could really care less about what the sexual orientation of a nurse is. I only care that the nurse provide quality care to the patient and also to be professional with other health care pers...

   genhen replied to lunakat's topic in General Students

   Let me tell you what I think..... You didn't do anything wrong. It is about the nurse you had for that clinical day. Does she remember what it was like to be a student? Just because you had not seen a dressing change does not mean that she had...

4. Clinical Outfits

   genhen replied to Golden_Clover's topic in General Students

   I'm male and we wear white pants, white belt, and white shirt. Above the right breast pocket is inscribed, "COS Student Nurse". People say I look like the old fashioned milk man who used to deliver. Genhen

5. Ethical dilemma about math exam

   genhen replied to Achoo!'s topic in General Students

   IMO, those who already have had the test to practice with need to take another test. Those who did not receive the practice test should have their grades stand as is. But, if the instructor made everyone take the test over again, I would just go wi...

6. Flunked first exam

   genhen replied to blueeyedgoose's topic in General Students

   I'm in 2nd semester. I find it interesting how my perspective has changed. We have to get 72% to pass (close to what you need). I failed two quizzes in my first semester. We have a 20 point quiz every week. Nursing school is unlike any class I h...

   I prayed for good health for you and your husband. I know you feel crappy but do this.......Just open your schoolbook(s) and just look at pictures and don't focus on what you have to do. Do this for a little while and read a little of what you lik...

   genhen replied to DSplendid's topic in General Students

   I'm currently in 2nd semester of a RN program. We started right off with doing venipunctures on fellow students. Then, two Saturday's ago, we gathered four persons (victims) and brought them to class. We inserted the catheter, taped it down, put on t...

    genhen replied to mani3433's topic in General Students

    We used a book called, "Fundamentals of Success". This book had a lot of practice questions for first semester students. A couple of things helped me. I failed two quizzes, we had a quiz every week, in first semester. I changed a few things in t...

12. Shy guys

    genhen replied to narcissistic's topic in Male Students

    I believe that most of us have or have had anxiety over public speaking. I would definitely vote for you to take a public speaking speech class. I'm currently in my 2nd semester of nursing school. I took that speech class two years ago. That clas...

    lol, has anyone ever told you that you are very stubborn. To answer your question, you must pass nursing school to become elgible to take the NCLEX. Nursing school also encompasses clinical rotations as well. Someone who just studied for NCLEX and pa...

15. School's hidden agenda, "NCLEX pass rate: Weed out students who will not pass"

    genhen replied to Bala Shark's topic in General Students

    You ask if a person failing the NCLEX would be a bad nurse. While this is off thread, I'll take a shot at it. Failing the NCLEX does not necessarily equate to being a bad nurse. Some people have test anxiety and some people learn at a slower rate. I ...
