    A course where no one ever gets an A

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to iteachob's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I assume this is a not a school where there is team teaching? What is the schools policy on reviewing exams, going over item analyses, etc? Do you use a test bank? Is there any peer reviewing going...

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

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Talk about generalizing :chuckle This is absolutely the case for some. But not for all. The problem is, very few will admit that they are NOT trying hard enough. It's easier to blame it on...

    LPN Question?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to 1lollipop's topic in New York Nursing

    It IS too good to be true . The rules have changed. You used to be able to do it, but the state has finally realized that, with so many programs being so different, they are not necessarily prepared...

    What are my options?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to 1lollipop's topic in New York Nursing

    First thing you need to do is read and KNOW your school's policy on failing, repeating, GPA requirements, and terms for dismissal. before you throw in the towel, and assume that this is the end,...

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

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I know most of you do not want to hear this, but more often than not (in the opinion of the professors), the theory grade correlates with clinical. In the schools where clinical is just a pass/fail,...

    Do you snitch on cheaters?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    one of the students in my school was suspected of cheating on an exam, as reported by a student. it was very hush-hush (but not really), so i don't know all the specifics, but i do know other...

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

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Where I teach, C=F . Of the students who failed the course I just finished teaching in, I would say most of them tried very hard, some of them (admittedly) only tried hard after midterm, and a...

    Accredited vs. Nonaccredited

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Vanurselpntorn's topic in General Nursing

    What type of accreditation are you talking about? If the school is not accredited to grant a college degree, this could be problematic going forward. if you are talking about NLN, it really doesn't...

    horrendously long post... read if you dare (and if you have time?)

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to jaysmom's topic in General Students

    Also, as far as your "job", I'm with the ones who don't think it's a great idea. It is a small world, people are judgmental, and there are still very many narrow-minded old school people in nursing....

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to jaysmom's topic in General Students

    I hate to say this, but you ans the OP are very much alike (and that's not a good thing, IMO). I can honestly say this because I have been there myself. My ex husband was very threatened by my...

    Grades- do instructors round up?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in General Students

    Wow, this thread has bitter written all over it :argue: Where I teach, we round up the final grade if it is over 0.5. It is the school policy, and not left up to the individual instructors. 80 is...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ccjus123's topic in New York Nursing

    On paper, your plan sounds well thought out and realistic. You and your husband are planning your future well, and are considering what the other needs to do to accomplish your goals. You are not...

    Strange experience yesterday, feedback please...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    As an instructor, I have to say that for the most part, I agree with Daytonite's points. Did you 'break any rules' per se? Technically, no (of course, depending on what your schools/instructor's...

    What ahould I do???

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to HCRkam's topic in General Students

    IMO, It all depends on two things. 1) where do you live? If you live in an area where LPNs are employable, then do it. You need to see what kind of jobs you can get as an LPN. Where I live, there...

    Too Young?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Jennifer0512's topic in General Students

    I think it is all in the way you act, speak and present yourself. I teach a lot of young students, and I really don't pay mind to their actual age. Then every once in a while when I see their DOBs,...

    MSN in Education vs. NP - any advice?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to bluesnurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    IMO, the pro's outweigh the cons. I love my job. Granted, every day is NOT a picnic (no job ever is), it does get stressful at times, but it is so rewarding. One of the actual work cons is when...
