1. LCC 2013 Applicant Roll Call

   PadawanLearner replied to SopranoKris's topic in Michigan

   Good luck to you all! Don't freak out during orientation, they will run down a list of all the things that will get you kicked from the program. It will seem overwhelming and you'll have a "what have I gotten myself into" moment, but it will pass. ...

2. LCC 2013 Applicant Roll Call

   PadawanLearner replied to SopranoKris's topic in Michigan

   Good luck to those of you starting the program. I graduate the 2 year program in 8 days 9 hrs (not that I'm counting down), and it's been a heck of a ride. Once you're in, don't stress about grades; just do your best. There will be classes you will n...

3. Anyone else apply to LCC's Nursing Program

   PadawanLearner replied to Rnstudent2011's topic in Michigan

   I got in too! I was wondering if I started Fall or Spring, but it says I've been accepted to the Fall 2011 program, so I assume that means I start in Fall! I'm beyond excited and will be celebrating tonight! My congrats to everyone else who got in,...

4. Anyone else apply to LCC's Nursing Program

   PadawanLearner replied to Rnstudent2011's topic in Michigan

   Double check the points you calculated when you sat down with your advisor and compare them to the letter you got. It's possible they made a mistake, if so, follow up with them. I applied too, and although I'm feeling quite confident that I got in, ...

5. Anyone applying for LCC's Nursing program this spring?

   PadawanLearner replied to HomeGrownMichiganRN's topic in Michigan

   I'm not sure if that makes the wait anxiety better or worse :) Good luck to you! Hopefully we'll meet at orientation!

6. Anyone applying for LCC's Nursing program this spring?

   PadawanLearner replied to HomeGrownMichiganRN's topic in Michigan

   Really? The letter I got said not until the end of July.

7. Admission Chances in nursng with a F?

   PadawanLearner replied to DannyA's topic in General Nursing

   First I think you need to find out how they calculate scores for entrance into nursing school. Some programs (like where I'm at), only care about the courses required for the nursing program. No other classes get factored into their GPA calculator,...

8. Health Care Reform

   PadawanLearner replied to Stickyrunner325's topic in Activism

   The government won't be paying anything, every taxpayer will. The mathematics of this bill make absolutely no sense to me. The dollar amount the CBO is saying this bill will cost comes out to around $3 million dollars per U.S. citizen, and that's j...

9. Told I won't get in to nursing school

   PadawanLearner replied to dfj22's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It's not the school that's setting the high standards, not really. The school has X number of seats and probably 4 times that number of students applying. The students know they have to be competitive, since only the highest scores fill the seats,...

10. Health Care is a right

    PadawanLearner replied to headsup's topic in Activism

    Yes, on this I agree. But what is being proposed here goes far beyond regulating an industry, especially where the mandate that business and individuals purchase insurance or face penalties is concerned. Congress could regulate the pre-existing con...

11. Health Care is a right

    PadawanLearner replied to headsup's topic in Activism

    Moral obligation and legal authority are not the same thing. I feel a moral obligation to help the homeless, but that does not mean that I have to bring them home with me.

12. Health Care is a right

    PadawanLearner replied to headsup's topic in Activism

    I fail to see what the 14th amendment has to do with the question. The 14th amendment reaffirms the individual's rights as guaranteed in the Constitution. It clarifies that a person is both a citizen of the United States as well as a citizen of sta...

13. Health Care is a right

    PadawanLearner replied to headsup's topic in Activism

    Yes abortion is legal. What makes it legal is the fact that the U.S. Supreme Court determined that the Federal Government does not have the authority to tell you that you can't. That's the difference.

14. Health Care is a right

    PadawanLearner replied to headsup's topic in Activism

    That's easy. The 10th Amendment. "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." In other words, if the Constitution doesn't say th...

15. Health Care is a right

    PadawanLearner replied to headsup's topic in Activism

    Sounds like you're advocating for a one world government type thing. No thanks! The UN can publish whatever it wants to, we're not bound by it. We have a little thing we like to call sovereignty, and I'd like to think we won't let someone give th...
