I've decided to take a detour on my path to becoming an RN and going for an AA in Pharmacy Technology (the RN Diploma school I want to go to in Ohio offers automatic admission for anyone who is an LPN or holds an AA degree in any discipline). I currently am taking English and Strategies for success and the guy who teaches it thinks he knows everything there is to know about everything. He teaches Anatomy and Physiology, Medical Terminology, Microbiology and is currently holds a laundry list of degrees. Too bad he doesn't know much about any of these subjects, and actually told the class i am in (yes this is english class we're talking about!) that hemoglobin is toxic to the body when it is outside the red blood cells, and that the major cause of paralysis in most people when they experience a traumatic injury to the spinal cord is the outleaking of hemoglobin into the spinal cord. Gee, could it be because the spinal cord was cut? This guy is a total jerk, and always trys to challenge my knowllege of medicine and anatomy because he wants to see what i know and is quick to tell me that I'm wrong about everything.....never mind the fact i spend the last 2 years studying the subject. GAHHHH the things we have to put up with to achieve in life. :angryfire:angryfire

This is completely different from your original post. Had you posted that in the first place, you may have gotten a quite different response.

I still don't think it's any reason to forego the RN, but you need to do what's best for you.

Like what we were told in school...."afterall we are only human, we make mistakes too"....

I didn't realize I sounded like an a@# till I reread the op. I had just left the class and wrote the op to blow off steam so I could sleep.
