1. Petition to forgive student loan debt!

   AppalachianRNstudent replied to Devie06's topic in General Students

   1. It's not my idea. It's predicated on the theory of permanent revolution founded by Trotsky and the establishment of the ICFI in 1938. 2. To paraphrase Trotsky - the revolution begins on the national arena - it unfolds on the international arena a...

2. Petition to forgive student loan debt!

   AppalachianRNstudent replied to Devie06's topic in General Students

   It's a complicated question because each attempt took place under certain and varying objective conditions. Russia for example was a thoroughly backward country. This dynamic set the stage for Stalin and Bukharin's eventual capitulation to the theory...

3. Petition to forgive student loan debt!

   AppalachianRNstudent replied to Devie06's topic in General Students

   My conception of socialism is not idealist - but grounded in objective reality and informed by the materialist conception of history. The theory of utopian socialism (which actually postulated that communes and moral arguments were the road to social...

   Communism has never been implemented on this planet - so I fail to see how you could say that "it doesn't work". I'm fine where I am. In the future, keep your comments on where you think I should live to yourself. North Korea is not a Communist cou...

5. Petition to forgive student loan debt!

   AppalachianRNstudent replied to Devie06's topic in General Students

   Again, education should be free. And it can be as well if society were founded on a socio-economic system that put need over profit. The world is in an advanced state of imperialist (which is capitalist in an international expression) decay. The on...

6. Petition to forgive student loan debt!

   AppalachianRNstudent replied to Devie06's topic in General Students

   I agree with the OP's position that student loan debt should be forgiven but, I don't think signing petitions is going to accomplish anything. Workers, students and the poor need to look beyond the confines of government and pursue their own interest...

7. Petition to forgive student loan debt!

   AppalachianRNstudent replied to Devie06's topic in General Students

   Don't be fooled, there is actually more than enough money to guarantee K-Phd education for anyone who wants it and has the intelligence to pursue it. This can be accomplished through the expropriation of the big banks and transfer of the transnation...

9. HELP...I don't feel like I'm retaining any information...

   AppalachianRNstudent replied to MarciaBrady's topic in General Students

   Take frequent breaks. If I were you I would read for 30 minutes - then take a five-ten minute break. Use your break to do some deep breathing - or whatever it is that helps you relax. I also agree with drawing - it helps me.

10. Nursing School Not For Me

    AppalachianRNstudent replied to daniellevw's topic in General Students

    It sounds like you are doing the right thing if the thought of nursing makes you that unhappy. I don't think you wasted three years of your life either. Those pre-reqs will count toward something. Keep your chin up.

11. Second Career Nurses

    AppalachianRNstudent replied to DAL2010's topic in General Students

    It's not bad if you are single. I think it takes the right temperment too. I wouldn't recommend it if you are in a committed relationship.

12. What is your "NS new year's resolution"?

    AppalachianRNstudent replied to Certifiable's topic in General Students

    I don't make resolutions. I understand why some folks do - they can be really motivating for some. I just try to keep a good balance. 90 percent study/lecture/clinicals - 10 percent everything else. ;-)

13. Time to get real -

    AppalachianRNstudent replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe. I really don't know the details regarding how current standards were instituted regarding FNP minimum competency and education. If nurses collectively advocated for more control over their profession - and attempted to consolidate power democr...

14. Time to get real -

    AppalachianRNstudent replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    None of us here (as far as I know) make the rules regarding how long a nurse has to be on the floor until s/he can become an NP. I think it depends on the academic institution. For example, there are a few near me that require two years at least part...

15. Time to get real -

    AppalachianRNstudent replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with NurseLoveJoy88 (except for the part where she says that those sorts of OP's probably wish they could be NP's - I don't know what they wish - and I don't care either). Personally, my plan is to be an FNP. Right now I'm an ADN student and...
