1. Pissed Off!!!

   snbrcc replied to Melisita's topic in General Students

   I am 27 years old and one of the youngest in my class. We dont have any problems getting along, and there are no "cliques". I think this woman's insecurities just caused her to behave badly towards you. The best way to handle it is to go out of your ...

   snbrcc replied to wannanurse's topic in General Students

   I would strongly recommend Lippincott's Manual of Nursing Practice. I found mine at Barne's and Nobles. It is great, it details a lot of diseases including the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, management, etc. It also gives a step by step on...

   snbrcc replied to crnasomeday's topic in General Students

   OH... it seems everyone has the same problem with group presentations. In our class a group does a presentation for each unit we cover. Our group was four people so our presentation had to last 40 minutes. Three days before our presentation one of...

9. Plagerism

   snbrcc replied to snbrcc's topic in General Students

   I should have been more specific. I do not believe in taking someone else's work and making it your own. When I said taking two words the same I meant if you stated their sentence in your paper and had two of the same words they did AND cited them s...

13. N-Clex Passing Rates???

    snbrcc replied to HPlayBoyU's topic in General Students

    Our classes pass rate is 100% and has been since it began in 1987. The teachers and classes are really tough. Half of the class usually doesn't make it to graduate but you can guarantee that if you graduate you will most likely pass the NCLEX!
