   manofletters replied to mtreyes's topic in General Students

   Great, all the high paying jobs that can be exported are being so...and the one's that can't? Well, we'll move you here. So if there are any organizations here in the US that will give you money to take an American's job, they should be tried for t...

2. Do schools give preference to minorities?

   manofletters replied to Alpha13's topic in General Students

   New Horizons, We'll have to meet somewhere in the middle. You are correct that the person is at least minimally qualified as they have passed the boards. I stand corrected. I am correct when I ask, "Is this person the most qualified", since some r...

3. Do schools give preference to minorities?

   manofletters replied to Alpha13's topic in General Students

   Alpha13, OIC, racism/sexism is justified under the "correct" circumstances. Now I've been enlightened.

4. First week of nursing...help!

   manofletters posted a topic in General Students

   OK, I need some advice. I'm taking health assessment and have no idea how to study for this stuff. There is SO much information. This week I have 20 pages of notes and about 100 pages to go over. Professor says everything is fair game for the tes...

5. Do schools give preference to minorities?

   manofletters replied to Alpha13's topic in General Students

   Geez, I certainly hope not. How would you feel if you went to a doughnut shop and saw a sign with prices for asians and prices for everyone else? What it upset you that asian prices were twice as high as the others? That's how I feel as a white ma...

6. Hypnotic Micro...?

   manofletters replied to KungFuFtr's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Well, I happen to be a hypnotist. The deeper the trance, the more effective it will be. Though it is possible to reach a deep trance state with these CD's, you will most likely reach a very low trance, if one at all. CD's like therse are VERY weak...

7. Anyone else waiting for "the letter" this month for fall admissions?

   manofletters replied to L&D_2b's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Uggghhh!!! I'm waiting too. Our deadline is Jan 31. No where in the literature does it say when we are notified. So I make a few phone calls/emails. They were very rude like, "Don't bother me...I've got better things to do". Why are all the prof...

8. How does Nursing rank in comparison to other majors in difficulty?

   manofletters replied to CRNAhopefulguy's topic in General Students

   I have a BA in elementary education. What a joke!! Education majors (at the elementary level) have very low scholastic abilities. I spent some time in grad school studying theology/counseling in seminary too. There certainly is a difference betwe...

9. You're going to Community College?

   manofletters replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I live in Kansas City and go to KCKCC. Not only do people look down their noses for me going to a junior college, they look down on me for going to THIS junior college. It's in the worse neighborhood in the city. But here is the irony: 1) It has th...

10. Anyone get into nursing as a second career? Was it a good choice??

    manofletters replied to ruby_9c's topic in General Nursing

    BA in elementary education. I was told by the school that there are lots of jobs...especially for males. So I graduate and find out that there are like 100 applicants for every position. And the icing on the cake, HOSTILITY towards men in elemetar...

11. Is this an exaggeration?

    Momto3andNurse2B, Those titles would be great! Thanks!!

12. Is this an exaggeration?

    manofletters posted a topic in General Students

    I keep hearing people talking about the unbearable stress, hypertension, and general distruction of their personal/family life. Can anyone out there say they have gone through/are going through school without all the side effects? I'm not suggestin...

13. Why are you REALLY going into nursing? Honest answers please.

    manofletters replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    I went into nursing for income/security/benefits...that's it. Not for greed, but to take care of my stay-at-home wife and children. What could be more honorable than that? I don't give a hoot about myself. If I could have the same opportunity slau...

14. How are/did you pay for school?

    manofletters replied to manofletters's topic in General Students

    Thanks for all of the replies. You are all an inspiration to me...really!! Sometimes I feel alone in the struggle. I'm a little reluctant to ask such questions of people I see day to day (some people get offended by financial questions). This way...

15. Textbook buyback

    manofletters posted a topic in General Students

    I'm starting the program next semester and wanted to know if I should keep my anat/chem/micro/physio textbooks or sell them back (love to have the cash). Anyone think I need them as a reference in my nursing classes?
