    Taking advice from advisors

    ReinventingMyselfAgain posted a topic in General Students

    this may not be a very popular thread, but it involves something that has been bothering me for a few weeks now. it is my hope that maybe it'll change the way some students may feel, and help them if...

    Taking advice from advisors

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in General Students

    Excellent addition!! I can't believe I forgot that aspect. I serve on the admissions committee as well, and it breaks my heart to see people rushing through pre-reqs and getting C's, which make them...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Our school used to have that policy, but b/c every single student took advantage of it, it needed to be revised. Students would then try for 3, even four, b/c they had none left for "true'...

    Is it unprofessional for instructors to do this?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to kgh31386's topic in General Students

    Another concern I would have (as the instructor) is that her "friends" will be the first one to turn against her if they ever face a problem in the future. If they are called out for not knowing...

    Is it unprofessional for instructors to do this?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to kgh31386's topic in General Students

    Wow, there really is no lower life form than us instructors, huh? Anyway, to the OP: If I even one of the things you say this instructor is doing, I'd be fired and blacklisted from any other school...

    My comment was a broad generalization. My workplace right now is all women, and we happen to ework very well together, for the most part. There si one who is not as cohesive with the ret of the...

    Unprofessional nurses/power tripper's/ trouble makers

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to chicsurfs's topic in General Students

    Yes, you ARE missing something here. I don't mean it to say we are domineering, but when 90% of nurses are female, it is a 'female dominant profession'. It was not meant to suggested any sort of...

    Taking advice from advisors

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in General Students

    I guess your advisors are not faculty members then. Or not even nurses? Interesting. I also guess if you were my advisee you wouldn't trust me then? You know, sometimes they are not pretending to...

    Does SUNY Downstate accept pre-reqs more than 7 years old?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to sawana's topic in General Students

    I'd bet my paycheck that it is. As an educator who serves on my schools admission committee, we have the same rule, as do many other schools. While the parts of the body and their functions usually...

    I'm sorry you are having such a difficult time in clinical... yet again. May I ask what the problem was the first time you took the course? As far as who is giving your instructor the feedback, I...

    "Atypical" Nurse? How discouraging...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Darjeeling22's topic in General Nursing

    I think the key thing (and this is for life in general) is being comfortable in who you are, and what decisions you have made. Whether you chose to be single, married, gay, straight, a parent or...

    Quick Question, please advise...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to USN2UNC's topic in General Students

    Not sure if this helps, but I think it depends on what's more important to the school(s) you are applying to. If they are looking at GPA alone, then you might want to repeat it. But if they are...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to miksyrak3's topic in General Students

    Excellent analogy, Idaho. It is SO true!! I am currently an active poster on two other forums (non nursing related), and the atmosphere is such that it is just so much easier to complain. Don't get...

    What does it mean to be put on a waiting list?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ysosa1's topic in General Students

    It really depends on the school's admission policy. For the most part, it's what Idaho mentioned, but you also need to find out what happens IF they don't call you up (if people drop out or decline...

    Reading alot of posts discussing "A" nursing students vs "C" nursing students

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Agreed. And it cannot be enough, it is virtually impossbile to squeeze it all into 2 years.I'm still really having trouble with this assumption that A students have no common sense. I said it about...
