I posted back in October or November about being accused of cheating in my pathology class. Well, After 3 appeal hearings, I was suspended from the school. Ultimately they took the teachers word over mine. I am still devastated about it, but I am ...

hi everyone. I got pulled out of class on Friday and was told that the girl sitting next to me cheated during our test last week. The teacher wants me thrown out of school also...he says that I did not do enough to prevent her from looking at my pap...

Part time is so much easier than the full time!! It just takes longer.

Thank you all so much for your support....I just posted in a new thread about what happened.

met with the dean this morning...she has ruled against me. Legal Aid and Student Association poured over the college policies to find a way out of this mess, but there is nothing. The other student claims that I was involved (and I was not!!). I h...

I have to get a background check done (to work in LTC) and i'm wondering what exactly it is that they check? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

My Bio exam is next week...I figured if I didnt schedule it, I'd never write it I would like you to share your study/prep tips with me and your test taking tips with me. I am a nervous wreck already! I have to pass the exam in order to pass the c...

I've been a part time student for the past 2 years, and have applied to go full time for my last year. Well....i'm still waiting for that letter!!! Its driving me beyond crazy!!! I have a 4.0 GPA for my classes and have no idea why its taking so ...

i'm still waiting....

what gets me motivated is my long term goals!! If i'm struggling to study, I will take a few minutes and think about WHY I am going through all of this. For me, I want to work in Africa one day, but I cant be a nurse over there unless I finish here...

I have issue with the students who dont participate in class. In fact, we get assigned more readings if no one speaks up! So...I do my homework and know the answers. Others dont bother. Should I sit back and keep quiet just so I dont annoy them??...

sitting at a 98% in computers and 97% in math.

i'll be working about 25 hours a week while in school full time. i've got a husband and 2 kids. its not a matter of "is it possible"...its a matter of "I have no choice".

the hardest part for me is keeping up with school assignments/readings and my family! The actual content of the program is not difficult.... Round up a good group of people for a study group. This helps. Find a super great confidant/friend in your...

congrats to you! we get a pass/fail for clinicals and workshops. all other classes are counted towards GPA.

we had to practice on each other during labs. For each skill we had 3 check offs and at least 1 of them had to be with someone of the opposite sex.

our school has just made changes because too many people were failing the math portion. in pharmacology we need a 90% to pass the class. they have since broken the entire class into 2 more intense classes, one math and one pharmacology. we just h...

so an upsetting situation has come up at work. a friend of mine applied to a job posting, but it was awarded to another person based on senority. my friend is terribly upset because almost everyone agrees that it should have been based on performan...

In this case, my friend has been a nurse for 22 years, but in this job only for 3. The other girl has been a nurse for 5 years and in this job for 4.5 of those years. Everyone knows my friend is the right one for the job, but she lost it only becau...

does anyone have any experience with them? I'm interested in this avenue of nursing, but would like to hear more about it. I will be bridging to get my RN when I graduate from RPN. thanks!

wow. i'm stunned by some of the comments on this thread!! I am a married mother of 2 kids (ages 5 and 6) and I started nursing school back in the Fall of 2004 (kids were 3 and 4!!). I had some family members call me selfish for wanting to go becaus...

Is this legal? What does it have to do with my being suitable for employment? I have nothing to hide, however I am very squeamish about having all of my financial records out there for anyone to see! I understand about a background check...but why...

I guess i'm a grade freak too! I work very hard to earn those grades though. I try not to get upset if I get a lower mark, but generally I just ask why! I want to learn from my mistakes (call me a nerd....) I also have major test anxiety...but I t...

well, at my previous job, I took a 3 day training course and was able to pass meds to residents. I never gave an injection though. This was a private facility and this is totally legal. I was considered to be under the supervision of an RN during ...

My sister has been telling us for about 4 years that she has fibromyalgia. She does not work or go to school. She is 27 years old. She is on a variety of meds....from valium to methadone to paxil to regular tylenol/advil and others that I dont eve...
