Yeah, you're probably reading the title and are thinking: *eye roll* "Another Nursing student who thinks they deserve a better grade than they earned." I promise you, it's not that. I am at a clinical...
Do you think I have a chance at salvaging everything? It may take time to formulate new opinions. I'm definitely going to change, and I am looking forward to
It is a perfect example. I was hoping the Nurse would take interest that I was interested in being active with questioning. I guess it can be interpreted as a challenge, or a nuisance, along those...
Yeah. I probably am coming off like a jerk. ? I don't mean to. It's difficult for me. I am book smart but I guess I am socially inept...And that makes me pretty self-conscious. I ask too many...
I know. I am thankful for it. Seriously, I am. I am not the only student facing similar issues. One Nurse harassed a student's looks, among other things. It's just the way it
I know. She is correct. It's that the Nurses are questioned by my instructor if I do ask questions, if I am interactive, etc. If I don't ask any questions and only ask my instructor, the Nurse will...
I asked the staff if I was defensive or argumentative. They say I am not, and that I take constructive criticism very well. I am trying to maintain peace within the department, and fulfill my role as...
Gee, god forbid I ask for clarification. Isn't that my role as a student? I am paying thousands of dollars for this education. It seems like it's best to not ask questions at all. I also got written...
I am doing my best. Yesterday during clinical, I was asking the Nurse I was with about contacting transport for patients. The patient went to the bathroom (we were done with her) so I told the Nurse I...
Hey guys, here is a friendly update. A nurse told me today something I did wrong, and I immediately thanked her for advice and acknowledged I will improve on a certain behavior. Additionally, I...
Woah, calm down. No one said I 'couldn't handle it'. I am certainly not quitting over people---that's part of life. I have received great reviews from other clinical sites, but experiencing challenges...
I understand your point. I have already decided to no longer offer advice. I was only trying to help. At my previous clinical site, I would offer things very similar to this and they were appreciative...
That's exactly what I said. I said, "Would you like for me to get you a warm compress?" I did not say "should", because that's argument from authority, and that would make me look
It's hard to get over something when I am not getting credit for things I am doing. They reported me to my PD because I even told the Nurse a procedure was done. Like seriously? I really am trying to...
My notebook is very small. It fits in my pocket. It's not large at all. Don't express interest in curiosity in other clinical sites. I was only curious because some Nurses worked at other facilities....
Hi everyone. I have a 4.0 GPA. I decided on Nursing because I love the healthcare field, and medical science. However, two weeks into the start of my Nursing program I feel completely overwhelmed. I...
Thanks for your advice and encouragement. I'm already having an extremely rough start. I have 2 exams, a case study, a quiz, and another assignment all due Monday back-to-back. I hate to say it, but I...
One last question for those succeeding in the program. I just spent 6 hours studying. I finished three chapters in those 6 hours, and I feel as though that isn't time effective since I only finished...
I understand. I did the same thing in my pre-reqs. I aced every exam last year...But I was miserable because I just studied 24/7, had no fun, no breaks because I was always nervous about an exam and...
Thank you! I have one question regarding study habits and time management. Due to the sheer volume of material per chapter, I originally wanted to get done [x] chapter done per day. However, because I...
