    Anyone else in a funk?

    Multicollinearity replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    FNP, sorry to hear that. You are not alone. Do you dislike your classes? Hang in

    need help choosing a school

    Multicollinearity replied to vickim's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Only you can decide. I am going to community college and I'll graduate with about 25k in student loans. I'm planning on working for one of the many hospitals which pay for you to get your BSN while...

    How Do You Keep Them From Breaking Your Heart?

    Multicollinearity replied to tencat's topic in General Nursing

    Some people see so much pain in their lifetimes that all they can do is numb themselves to it, in order to cope and

    African American Care

    Multicollinearity replied to CametoitlateTexan's topic in General Nursing

    Could you expand on #1? I cannot imagine not looking someone, anyone in the eye when talking to them. It would feel rude to me, as though I'm ignoring them, or not wishing to talk with them. Can you...

    Mayo Clinic in Arizona?

    Multicollinearity replied to EmeraldNYL's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I had surgery a few years ago at Mayo in Scottsdale. A CRNA did my anesthesia. I remember hearing at the time that Mayo only uses CRNAs for anesthesia. But I don't remember where/who I heard this from...

    Affirmative action for single mothers?

    Multicollinearity replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The fact that I have a 6 page thread on this reveals two things: 1) My intense fear of not getting into a nursing program that I want 2) My vertigo with adjusting to academia from the business...

    Biology and math!

    Multicollinearity replied to tutusandfrogs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I personally would not be able to work a full-time job and take two courses. Especially if I had a family. Do you have a family? Of course some people can do this. You listed 12 hours sitting in class...

    Affirmative action for single mothers?

    Multicollinearity replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree that professors have the right to go by their instinct regarding who will make a good nurse. We all know someone with a 4.0 who cannot live in the real world for anything. How someone...

    Affirmative action for single mothers?

    Multicollinearity replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Basically what I learned from the psych professor the other night (out at dinner with friends) is that college admissions are not fair. She used the example of us at dinner. She said we are all...

    Affirmative action for single mothers?

    Multicollinearity replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think I'd give that answer if I were in the same state as the school. And I might word it differently. I was just thinking off the top of my

    Affirmative action for single mothers?

    Multicollinearity replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are absolutely correct about the made-up organic chem answer. I was again thinking of a job interview, not an interview with an instructor. I need to get job interview etiquette out of my head...

    Affirmative action for single mothers?

    Multicollinearity replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good points. For the 18 year olds, I think they could bring up volunteer experience, or discipline for good grades, etc. I can see questions like why do you want to be a nurse, etc which touch on...

    Affirmative action for single mothers?

    Multicollinearity replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am new to academia. So if I need to adjust my expectations, I'm open. I owned my own business for years. I was an insurance broker for 9 years. This was before I lost everything last year (sob...

    Should I worry that I received a C in Anatomy?

    Multicollinearity replied to lavanda's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    'C' doesn't mean continue at my school. They require a B or better in both A & P I and A & P II. Is that

    Multicollinearity replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    yes!!! this is the crux of the issue (for me). we all have our issues. if i were to list mine, i guarantee it would raise eyebrows of 'oh my god, poor multicollinarity.' but i won't because there's...

    Your Score on the TEAS?

    Affirmative action for single mothers?

    Multicollinearity replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    :smackingf :smackingf I was just so surprised by this student, I was venting. (Note to self, vent in your journal, not on the Internet.) This topic is too touchy and painful because we have so many...

    Affirmative action for single mothers?

    Multicollinearity replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Who knows, it is possible that she could be yanking my chain. I really doubt it though. She seemed so sincere when she was telling me I need to be 'special' in some way to get in. She is also clueless...

    Affirmative action for single mothers?

    Multicollinearity replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went out to dinner last night with a friend, who brought her friend, who is a professor (not nursing, a psychology professor). I vented this story. The psych professor said that college admissions...

    Affirmative action for single mothers?

    Multicollinearity replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Moe, I happen to support AA. I have had the AA arguments before, and I believe in AA. I do not want this thread to devolve into a debate about true AA. My irritation with her is a secondary issue. The...

    Affirmative action for single mothers?

    Multicollinearity replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are interviewed by 2-3 nursing professors. This student is visibly pregnant, and was so at her interview. She seems to bring up her single mother status quite often, as she has done in...

    Multicollinearity replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you. I felt the need to vent. I am working hard (like everyone) and I'm probably going to have to move to another state for nursing school because of the wait lists here. So this just set me...

    Doctorate for Advanced Practice Nursing??

    Multicollinearity replied to bookwormom's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I have to wonder if part of the push behind this that nobody will admit is desire to be a 'Dr.' to have some parity with MDs and DOs. What do you all think? I don't know that's really necessary, but...
