   The paradigm is similar to that of DO vs MD. The DO's had to invent something "new" to give themselves plausability & credibility. Of course, we all know DO's are folks who couldn't get into medical school. I believe nursing would actually bene...

2. Who is finding nursing school way easier than you were told it would be?

   concernedMD replied to SayNoTo DNC's topic in Arizona

3. For online paper submissions, do you use Word's "editing time" feature?

   concernedMD replied to dudette10's topic in Educators

   Editing time means nothing if a student has copied his/her own file for backup purposes, for example. If the student sends the backup file, it will look like no editing time even if the student has spent many hours editing the original.

8. A Short History of Anti-pathophysiologicalism

   concernedMD replied to jmqphd's topic in Educators

   It appears nursing is turning into feel-good holistic psychobabble with very little real science. It's a shame to see nursing reverting back into the realm of Suzy Homemaker.

   concernedMD replied to bsyrn's topic in Educators

   Here's one for you: my wife was in a class where the instructor FLIRTED with male students. Still can't fathom why that woman still has a job as an instructor. Can only imagine the sexual harassment charges that school may face if complaints are e...

10. Nursing Students Incivility Towards Faculty and Other Students

    concernedMD replied to vbwise2's topic in Educators

    My wife was the victim of a bullying nurse instructor. The instructor was apparently intimidated by my wife's 2 previous degrees in physics and in computer science and, as a result, harassed my wife all semester. I had to talk my wife out of filing...
