   I should have added that she is quiet by nature, which also seems to hurt her. And no, she's very quick to take blame on herself, not to point it. I on the other hand certainly am biased for my daughter, but also know that no-one should think they ...

   Thanks Elkpark. Its really a different world. I'm surprised that there is so much difficulty getting clinicals setup. An outsider would think that there is some free labor to be received, understanding that supervision is needed. She knew she nee...

   Thanks llg, to clarify I didn't mean to insult you guys. The point I was trying to make is that if you have a certain basic level of intelligence, you should be able to be taught and master things. I know engineers that struggled to get through, an...

   SuetheStudent, Your comment as a helicopter parent is rash, incorrect and rude. She had a 4.0 GPA after the freshman year and 3.7 after the sophmore year. She is a great student with a sister that has Down Syndrome which is one reason why she wants...

   OK, so I'm the stressed father of a nursing student who is sinking. They have a 3.7 GPA and is doing fine with classwork, but is having difficultly with med/surg. I can't believe they grade pass/fail and the pass seems to be stringent. Her first c...
