   It's a FACT that some minorities, in particular American blacks, do receive less care in SOME situations than whites. There has been a lot of research done on this lately: Blacks Less Likely Than Whites, Hispanics to Get Evidence-Based Stroke Care: B...

   Why did you identify the race of the black woman but not the pastor?

   alias posted a topic in General Nursing

   Okay, here is my issue. I have very bad insomnia, I go to sleep fine but about 3-4 hours later I wake up, then I am awake for 4 more hours in the middle of the night, then I go back to bed around 6am and sleep for a couple more hours, if I'm lucky. T...

   Hi, I'm also a BOCES student. It's a tough program but the instructors are great and you will learn A LOT. Study hard and good luck.

5. rude classmates

   alias replied to beckyb2201's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I have been following this thread with interest because in my LPN program I had the same problem. Rude, cliquey young women who make a lot of noise in class and generally act like they are still in high school despite being in their 20s. Well, two mo...

   I just started the full-time day program at Ulster Boces. There are about 40 people in my class. Apparently there is a 60% attrition rate so there will only be a few of us left come graduation in June. I hope I'm one of the survivors! I think the tea...

   Another A&P-er checking in here. I had my first lab today, and thank goodness there were plenty of other adults in the room. In my other classes (math, chem) it's just me and a bunch of 20-year-olds. Both my teachers (lecture, lab) seem good so f...

    Hi all, I've been accepted to an ADN program at my nearby community college. I am 41, and when I finish I will be 44. I've volunteered in hospitals, and feel that nursing will be a good fit for me at this stage in my life. However, I'm concerned abou...

    alias replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I have gotten similar responses from people. Not just bc I'm at a CC, but also bc I want to be a nurse. It's gotten so I've stopped telling people unless it comes up naturally in conversation. Not bc I'm ashamed but bc I don't need the negativity. I ...
