Why do you assume that we were the issue? Our discussions with the Director never had anything to do with "attitude." Everything else that follows that first sentence are things you made up. They were never said by me. Reading that was exhausting. Stretch next time before you reach like that. You mentioning pity is especially interesting given your posts are for the sole purpose of garnering pity. Falsifying information and asking if you should still be a nurse just so someone will tell you "We all do it." Complaining about a teacher being rude but shifting blame from yourself for invading someone's privacy. You can't diminish a group of people's experience simply because of what you THINK. Unfortunately, you may be someone's nurse in the future. And I pray that you don't allow your ego and ignorance interfere with your care.

Hi! So, what I'm getting is you had 2 absences, and they said you had one left. You didn't use it but they dismissed you, anyway. Anyone upset that you made your race a factor, obviously isn't black and has no clue of our everyday experiences. My sister and I were in the same nursing program. She was #1 and I was #2. The director and a couple of classmates tried to make it hell for us. Back to you being dismissed, I've not heard of a nursing program dismissing a student for two absences. When you're sick, you're sick. I think it would be worth a shot to appeal it. If you didn't have that third absence, that is wrong.

I love being a pediatric homehealth nurse. The strides you see them make because of you really does make you smile. I work with 9 months - 5 year olds and I love it. I'm in school for my bachelor's now so that's also a plus. I've attempted to do the visits vs private duty but it's not enjoyable the least bit to me. Especially because visits are usually adults and I'm a pediatric nurse through and through. It's very rewarding to see progress.

I just graduated last year so I know the feeling. At the beginning it was fairly easy but as someone pointed out it only gets harder. The thing that worked for me was what AvaRose said. Another thing I did was try to apply what I was learning to some sort of scenario or some sort of quirky way I'd remember it. Another thing I'd say is don't second guess yourself. Most of the time you chose the right answer because it made sense and then you think to far into it. Which brings me to another point...don't think so much about it. Don't think of anything except what the questions are asking you. Hope this helps!
