    Learning Disabled Students

    Multicollinearity replied to dmarie (GA)'s topic in General Nursing

    I guess my take-home message for this thread is: unless you have a PhD in clinical psychology and you have done qualititative and quantitative testing on the student with the LD, you really don't know...

    I do know that there is one LD that requires the use of calculators. I think it is called dyscalculia? I don't know more about it

    Learning Disabled Students

    Multicollinearity replied to dmarie (GA)'s topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what's scary. I meant that it's easier for a student to say they have a learning disability and that's why they have extra test time - to nosy fellow students, etc. It's easier for an...

    Learning Disabled Students

    Multicollinearity replied to dmarie (GA)'s topic in General Nursing

    Learning disabilities by definition have nothing to do with behavior or intelligence. I think you need to be mindful that you don't really know this person's medical/psych status and diagnoses. It's...

    Learning Disabled Students

    Multicollinearity replied to dmarie (GA)'s topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like this student has other problems going on besides a learning disability. I also think it's inappropriate that your instructor is in some way making you responsible for this student. It...

    Multicollinearity replied to dmarie (GA)'s topic in General Nursing

    DMarie, I was referring to you putting learning disability is quotation marks like people do when they don't believe something or they are belittling it. Sadly, so many people don't understand...

    Here's a good thread on nurses with learning disabilities.

    Not sure what to think!

    Multicollinearity replied to Little Panda RN's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like this doc wants you to be a cash cow in his office and he could care less about ethics, your license, and the care of his patients. I'd run far, far

    Dual social work/RN program?

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

    I agree with what the others have said. I have a friend who is a LCSW/MSW. She worked as a hospice social worker for years doing the work of saints. Now she's an insurance agent because she could not...

    Learning Disabled Students

    Multicollinearity replied to dmarie (GA)'s topic in General Nursing

    Test anxiety is not a learning disability. Some schools allow accommodations for test anxiety, but that is not a learning disability. I think the common misconception here is saying that anyone who...

    Learning Disabled Students

    Multicollinearity replied to dmarie (GA)'s topic in General Nursing

    I'm trying to figure out why you phrase this as "learning disabled." First of all, these students have a learning disability. It sounds like because their disability isn't visible that you question...

    Living off student loans smart idea or not?

    Multicollinearity replied to rkim525's topic in General Nursing

    I'm trying to understand what your viewpoint is, Motorcycle Mama. Are you arguing that it is bad to take out any student loans? Let's look at a real-life example. My cousin graduated from law school...

    Multicollinearity replied to Roxy5558's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yikes that is a loooooooooooooooooooooong wait. I'm going to need to do something about this next year, or I may go quite literally insane waiting to find out. I can see myself stalking my mailman...

    Anyone still waiting to hear about spring '07 acceptance?

    Multicollinearity replied to Roxy5558's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What kind of wait are you all experiencing to find out? What I mean is...say your application deadline is September 15th...how long until you get your accept or reject notification? I'm prepping...

    Living off student loans smart idea or not?

    Multicollinearity replied to rkim525's topic in General Nursing

    I think the horror stories I have seen with student loans are with students who get degrees that don't go with a decent paying jobs. Of course there are exceptions, but if you are getting a BA in...

    Living off student loans smart idea or not?

    Multicollinearity replied to rkim525's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with lowering your standard of living. I see other students who are taking out student loans while paying for cable tv, cell phones, designer clothing, etc. It boggles my mind. I can't...

    Living off student loans smart idea or not?

    Multicollinearity replied to rkim525's topic in General Nursing

    There is a different 'right' solution for each individual person. It's pretty predictable here on the forum...answers like "debt is bad, I did it without debt so that means you can"...to "I had...

    Multicollinearity replied to scrmblr's topic in General Nursing

    After the Thanksgiving from hell with my relatives - I look forward to saying "sorry I have to work at the hospital on that holiday. Duty calls." My family is so nuts I'd rather work, and I can't wait...

    Waiting for acceptance/rejection tonight!!!

    Multicollinearity replied to cincin1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are good enough. There are too many applicants relative to the number of spots in the programs. For example, one of the BSN programs I'm applying to previously had 2-3 applicants per spot. Now...

    Volunteer wanting to show some love

    Multicollinearity replied to AMR21's topic in General Nursing

    If you will be asking for a formal recommendation for your nursing school application, I would not bring any gifts. That could be seen as inappropriate. Otherwise, if you are never going to ask for a...

    Most RN's first borns?

    Multicollinearity replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in General Nursing

    I'm an only child. We are supposed to be like the oldest but amplified. No alcoholism in my family, but some mental illness. I was, indeed, a 'caretaker' for my parents while I was growing

    UMC Tucson Arizonza

    Multicollinearity replied to extreme's topic in General Nursing

    I've only heard good things about UMC. Take that with a grain of salt - because I'm a student. But the good things I heard were from nurses. They do have great ratios. Have you been to the website?...
