  1. Failed -- unacceptable reason

    gM_2010 replied to yolonono's topic in General Students

    Students should ask themselves why he or she is in that position in the first place. A student can have a bad exam and it typically won't wreck their chances of being successful in the course. When...

  2. Can Acute Care NPs work in Outpatient Specialty Clinics?

    gM_2010 replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm an ACNP and practice in a specialty cardiology ambulatory setting. I like it because I do both episodic and chronic disease management. I am extremely busy and probably see about as many patients...

    Bs are perfectly good grades. I graduated with a 3.2 from my BSN, 3.7 from my MSN, 3.8 from my post-masters NP and my PhD. Keep ticking the tests and assignments off and go get

  4. My Opinion on Simulation Lab

  5. Instructor Issue

    gM_2010 replied to lorias's topic in General Students

    gM_2010 replied to Barmherzigkeit's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We always need new ideas and fresh blood. However-you have to punch you ticket to ride to the NCLEX to be part of the solution. I always enjoyed 2nd degree.career changers for their...

  9. Needlestick yesterday, should I report it?

    gM_2010 replied to I like cats's topic in General Students

    Any needle stick or other injury in the clinical setting should be reported immediately for a few reasons. 1. Students don't have the experience or judgment to make decisions about risk of harm to...

  11. I failed out of nursing school midway, now what?

    gM_2010 replied to Jkliu888's topic in General Students

    Good advice from all the previous posters. I have one more suggestion. If you reapply to your current program or a new one, find that university/school's office for student disabilities. Every college...

  16. Girl in my cohort is cheating

    gM_2010 replied to KitKat2019's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Cheating is not a new problem in nursing schools. I would encourage you to talk to the instructor and let them handle it going forward. Your colleague isn't worthy of the degree if she isn't doing the...

  17. Lousy Professor or lousy student?

    gM_2010 replied to RNFall2017's topic in General Students

    gM_2010 replied to gpnbe1a6's topic in General Students

  22. Starting nursing school at 37...

    gM_2010 replied to LindsayRadun's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the other posters. I've had many students start their nursing careers at your age and older and do well in both class and clinical. Older students bring a maturity and life experience...
