Nursing Students Shafted

hee heee hee..get used to it, babe...after ya graduate, you will work twice as hard to earn half as much as those professional underwater basket weavers...

Darn:(

I knew I should have gotten my degree in "Underwater Basket Weaving"

It would look so good on my resume.:)

yeah, but I'm going for the "advanced" upside-down underwater basket weaving degree. :rolleyes:

Computers? Are you joking?!

I completed a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. This was real CS, not that phony Computer Information Systems stuff. If you want work, there is FAR MORE of it in CS. Be glad you do not have to suffer through...

University Physics for Scientists and Engineers I and II

Calculus I, Calculus II, Calculus III

Chemistry for Scientists and Engineers I

Discrete Mathematics

Advanced Discrete Mathematics

Biology I

Statistics I, Statistics II

French I, French II

And by the way, I had an average degree program in CS. Some CS degree programs have more prerequisites. Like a full year of Ordinary Differential Equations and other time consuming courses. Or a full year of Chemistry.

Those are the FEW that I remember while just trying to write a quick post. Of course there were many more DIFFICULT courses in the major. Don't even waste your time listing those easy English, social science, and history prerequisites. I completed plenty of them. CS students just spend a few minutes on them and typically get an 'A'. The real work in other courses is far more difficult. I have a long list of those that I will not even attempt to record here.

Accounting can be quite difficult also. You do not know what real work is until you have tried one of these majors. I can tell you plenty of stories, such as spending 8 - 12 hours every Saturday writing a lab report for a Digital Circuits course. Or having to research a programming technique for my class in Introduction to Artificial Intelligence taught by a professor from MIT. Good thing I only went to a state university. I would not want to think about how much work would be required at a private institution.

Compared to what I went through with CS, getting a BSN will be a breeze. Work twice as hard? Sorry, but you have no idea what real work is.

A girl in my class swears she will "drive an ice cream truck" if she doesn't pass:chuckle

Her plans might not work out well at this time of year. Besides, I think all those Good Humor ice cream truck drivers are men, aren't they?

While your list of accomplishments is most impressive, I was comparing 2 year degrees. I agree with you that at a university level computer science is quite rigorous, but at the community college level I could get a degree in computers in my sleep.

Accounting can be quite difficult also. You do not know what real work is until you have tried one of these majors. I can tell you plenty of stories, such as spending 8 - 12 hours every Saturday writing a lab report for a Digital Circuits course.

I don't know of any accountants that design digital circuits.

Sorry, but you have no idea what real work is.

How could you possibly know what I consider real work, you don't even know me. I could post all of the other classes that I've taken which were as equally demanding as any you listed above, but I just listed the ones the pertained to the nursing program.

Have a nice day:kiss
