Life-Span class is shortening mine.

[Peeps Mcarthur]

I'm just whinning........certainly to a group of intellectuals that can somehow utilize this contradictory load of crap.

I'm certain this will be the only useless part of school, but I just can't get "up" for this.

I've been staring at it since early this morning. I can't see any content when I read it. It's like one of those pictures that you're supposed to look at and kind of let your eyes go out of focus and out pops a spaceship or some other such image that's not apparent by just looking at it. It's as if it's just someone talking about how thier day went or making casual conversation. When it does try to make a point, it only speculates, never settling on one thing, but presenting a range of possibilities.......all possibilities.

So they can never be wrong.....................how convienient.

I'm supposed to be writting a bibliography. I have to read and summarize ten papers.

I have to summarize speculation................beautiful.

Morons.

well we still didn't have to take a course with any of those names...thank goodness! just another class to add to the long list of classes that i'd never remember much about anyways.

thanks...

{color=darkble]i like it so well, that i took abnormal psychology (psy 230) too and it was not required either.

the only psyhcology that is required for the asn program where i attend school is , general psychology (psy 200).

by the way peeps mcarthur, "lifespan" is a 210 psy course where i am.

The gist of it was that he was treating his boss's 14yo daughter, who was an hysteric.

I wonder what we could dig up on the rest of those clowns:rolleyes:

Does everybody that becimes a psych major just kinda look past all this garbage?

How could they not see that this developmental stuff is off in dreamland in the Oprah meets Jerry Springer category?

NOSE JOB!!!!:roll

Future,

I start Gen. psych on-line tommorow.

Then I have to do sociology sometime after LPN and that will be my humanities classes for the RN.

I think they ought to skim a simple 100 level course for nursing and be done with it. Microbiology was a 100 level course with lab!!!! Now, how lame is that for someone who works directly with disease?

They should leave psychology for the students that want to major in it. I can just call a psyc consult if I don't know how to handle a patient.

I'm glad that you enjoy it, but it just doesn't apply to the hectic pace of a general floor unit. I would love to work in a facility where a nurse had time to ponder such abstractness, but I don't think we'll ever be asked our opinnion on it myself.

i used to agree with you about why all the classes until i realize that each class we are having to take "fits" with another class we have already taken or will take.

for instance, the pyschology, anatomy, biology, micro, all "fits" together and each level of one course helps you in another. if you get the "lower" class you can carry that information to the next class and this will be taken to your med surg, your clinical experiences in one way or another. if it does not directly effect what you do, it will help you to understand some what of what's maybe going on with some one or something.

sociology, as you will see, will also talk about some of the same people and issuse that you are taking in your psychology, therefore, fraud, and others, you will already know something about and it will be a little more "easy", if you will, for you.

i like learing and though, all subjects are not taught from each instructor with excitment as others, the class is worth it.

i took english lit this pass spring and it was intersting but time consuming becuase of the other classes that were just as demanding of my time, but i stuck with it and saw some light at the end of the tunmmel. lots of love by the way, my general micor class is a 220 bio course.

i caught my spelling errors to late, sorry.

[Peeps Mcarthur]

Spelling is not important as you will see that the writing in a chart is not legible anyway so you may spell words any 'ol way you like.

Nobody can read them any way!!:chuckle

I see what you are saying. I think I will change my Bachaelors to Biology since I will already have the psyc requirements.

What program do you attend? It sounds like it's all 200 level.

[Love-A-Nurse]

i should have summarized by saying, "nursing" is about caring for the whole body/person and not just part of the body/person.

i am (fall 2002) in a asn program. it has taken over 10 years as an lpn and a nursing assistant to finally make up my mind to go back. after the asn degree and passing of rn boards, i will get my bsn.

what was the deciding factor for choosing nursing as a career? you will do fine, peeps, some how i think you know this!

[Peeps Mcarthur]

Future,

Maybe I'll see a realworld application for this someday but I have worked in a hospital setting and had a few close RN friends both male and female and can't see a possible reason for learning the stages of a persons life.

I don't need to know "where" a person is in thier life to care about them.

Nobody fits a model of the life-span, we are all unique. 8 million possible combinations of ONE gene(allele) for ONE set of parents who also have 8 million possible combinations for ONE gene through each sets of parents over time back to the original two Eukaryotes!!

I only see an individual that needs my care. I don't need to learn about cohorts(age groups......aren't they so cute!). I can tell the difference in needs between a teenager and a LOL.

It is true that I may need to know some of this for later classes. It's easy money for the college and sooooooo easy to find psyc majors to teach as many classes as the market will allow.

[Furball]

Is this lifespan class the same as developmental psychology? If it is....that class lost my attention when the prof tried to make a sexual connection to why women drink their soda's with straws and men don't.....huh???

[Peeps Mcarthur]

All psychologists are "grasping at straws"

So to speak.
