Beaue

The class is a mixture of both races. It's about 9/9. I said it because she did it to only white people. Think the teacher said something to her, can't prove it. She was nice to me on Friday. I'm glad we are better with each other. I've never bothered her so there is not any reason for her to lash out at me. She and her other friend still lash out at the other three girls. One of them asked a teacher a question about clinical and the African American started yelling at her in front of the teacher saying don't make me angry or etc. I can't remember her exact words now. The other girl never said anything back to her but overheard her saying she's close to going to the dean of the program about the issue. I don't know what she did to make the girl yell at her. I'm just happy I am no longer involved in the issue. I am pretty happy and hope I get through these last two tests on Monday and Tuesday so I can go to clinical on Wednesday.

It could be a personality issue. It still isn't right that she talks over the teacher to answer a student's question instead of letting the teacher answer. Maybe like my daughter said to me. The teachers don't care about the students and/or care enough to get involved in it.

I started school in January of 2020. In our class, An African American lady has comment every time a caucasian person asked a teacher a question. She interrupts the teacher to answer the student's question, treating the person as if it's a dumb question. The teachers never correct her and seem to side with her. During clinical practice, she told me I was going to kill someone in front of a teacher while practicing pulling staples out. I did it back to her and dared a teacher to say something to me. There was no way the teacher didn't hear her. She does this every day when someone asks a question out loud. My behavior was inappropriate but it felt good to stand up for myself. Deceitfulness, liars, and bullies upset me. Along with others, I am tired of her behavior. I am trying to understand why the teachers let the issue continue without correcting her. I cannot find a logical explanation in my head of why the teachers let her interrupt the class and treat others badly. I am hoping someone can help me understand the reasoning behind this.

I can't find my answer on allnurses.com so I am directly asking the question. What happens if a person withdraws between class. what I mean by this is we are taking fundamentals now and in March, we are starting med Surg. After finals in fundamentals, I may withdraw from all classes instead of returning to nursing. Does it matter if I am passing or failing since I withdraw before March 24 which is their last day to withdraw with a W. What do you think of Medical Assisting Associate of Applied Science Degree? one last thing, Does it mean I flunked out of nursing school even if I am passing before I drop? I'm stressed out as you can tell.

Classes started Jan 8 and I hope I get most of the money back. I need to return it to my family member who helped me pay for this semester. Pretty sure the returned check payment will around 350.00 and I paid 1,800. I really wanted to be a nurse for a long time. I decided after failing a test today, It's not for me anymore. It's too much stress and feels more like an elimination game than teaching people how to be nurses. We already teach ourselves anything so what do they do? I'd love to have their jobs and pay for what they do. The answers in the book are wrong and she doesn't have the answers to the worksheet we can print out the practice. These teachers couldn't demonstrate a head to toe assessment for the class without looking silly. Anyways, I am done thinking about this stuff. I want nothing else to do with the health field. Good luck to all the nursing students. Hope your program is better.

thank you. You were very helpful. I added some stuff I didn't need to use. Hugs

250mg in 100cc to infuse in over 1 hour and the 20 gtt/ml.

Do I need that 100 cc/ml?

calculate gtt/min

I'm stressed big time. I don't usually ask for help. after doing the problem over 5 times, I thought I better ask someone to help me. I even tried to find the answer online and didn't find it. Wish me luck on tomorrow's test. If I fail the test tomorrow I'm going to be extremely upset with the program.

I have no idea how to solve this problem. I tried several ways and didn't work out. The last sentence says "calculate gtt/min." That's the exact words. I posted the problem for you as it was written. I don't know what to do with the ml/cc in the problem. They haven't had that in the other problems. I did it this way: 250/60 x 20gtt divided by 100ml/cc. mm and cc are the same things. I'm sure ml and mg are the same too. There still are 4 problems that I can't figure out. Four out of 59 problems aren't too bad. I don't want to wait right before the test to learn how to do the problems, which is what will happen if I wait to ask the teacher. Hope someone can help.

Erythromysin 250 mg in 100 ccD5W to infuse over 1 hour. The I.V. tubing delivers 20 gtt/ml. Calculate gtt/min? I got 83.3 but her answer that she gave us was 33. I am so afraid of failing drug cal tomorrow. We had only 2 days of class where she went over chapter 7 and 8, which is on Monday and Tuesday. Friday she handed out calculation worksheet to us while we were in fundamentals. The test is on Tuesday (tomorrow). We actually were in Fundamentals, not her class so barely got to ask questions. This seems unfair. we needed another day to review.

NCLEX Passage Rate: 2015 83.75% 2016 74.36% 2017 79.22% 2018 75.36% 2019 97.40% The NCLEX Pass rate went up in 2019 after giving students practice nclex questions after each test. I am in the program so no looking back now. I'll be there for a year. I found out I made 84 on my test so I am happy. I get frustrated when I study for 12 hours on a Saturday and feel as if I may fail a test. Trying to figure everything out is frustrating. Some answers in the books are wrong too. Trying to learn nclex type questions and study for tests along with struggling with answers because they are different is a heavy load. I do feel a little better now.

I took my first fundamental test day and haven't received my final grade yet. The choose all questions was marked wrong when they were correct so she is going over the test before giving us our grades. After the test, we went over the test. After reviewing the questions, I got upset with them because I disagree with their answer on a question. In my fundamental book and online view test, the answer was "reported to the supervisor". Here is the question: A nurse witnesses a coworker taking a medication ordered for a patient. The nurse's first course of action is to A) Ask the other nurses on the unit what they would do. B) Tell the coworker that the incident will be reported the next time it happens. C) Offer to care for the nurse's patients until the medication is no longer effective. D) Report the incident to the nurse supervisor. They added the choice of "tell them to stop is the correct answer. It doesn't sound correct at all to me. So they can change answers to the problems? If they are giving us the wrong answers on our test, we will probably get it wrong on the NCLEX. That is my dilemma. Let's not mention they have their favorites in the class. The favorite thing doesn't bother me but missing with my test makes me angry. If I think this is happening should it be reported? I want to stay with this for a year and just get away from this school. It's my only option now since I am in the nursing program. They did a horrible job demonstrating a head to toe assessment to the class. They were all over the place. Keep me in prayers. I know God is behind me which will give me strength. What is your opinion of this? Is every school the same?

thanks
