  1. My frustration with inconsiderate classmates

    Agrippa replied to Two Sheds's topic in General Students

    I had one professor that fixed the cell phone problem immediately. First day of class, he sent around an index card and asked us to write down our names, phone number, email, favorite color, favorite...

  2. Becoming a nurse for the money...

    Agrippa replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    Just because nursing isn't someone's "passion" doesn't mean they wouldn't be a good nurse. My friend just graduated from med school and is going to be a surgeon. His main motivator for this is making...

  3. Mind Boggling - Not going to graduation?

    Agrippa replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Umm. Who cares? Some people go to nursing school because it's their "calling" and they put so much meaning and purpose into their career. Some people don't think its that important - they gin...

  4. Keeping sharp, male nurse finding purpose in job?

    Agrippa replied to Johnnyonthespot's topic in Men in Nursing

    Reminds me of a story Victor Frankl wrote. I think the question of purpose and meaning in one's life is a universal question that most people experience. Our career can be a big part of that. My...

  5. How many hours did you study A&P and what grade did you get?

    Agrippa replied to BreatheFree's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I dont think quantifying hours is going to help. Everyone is different. My advice is study smart. Be efficient in your studying and think about what the prof wants you to know. Maximize your time...

  6. Is It Possible to Work and Still Be Successful in Nusing School?

    Agrippa replied to Seyma's topic in General Students

    Keep in mind that if you want to go onto a graduate level, say NP, then it would behoove you to get good grades in nursing school too. Yes, a C average student will still pass nursing school, but it...

  7. Do you snitch on cheaters?

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

    I would email the professor. If you're too concerned, make an anonymous email, then email her/him. That way the professor will just keep a better eye out and will catch them in the act. At one...

  10. Why does free market economics NOT influence the cost of health care in the USA?

    Agrippa replied to thehcmgorg's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    For a free market to work at it's peak efficiency, the actors in the economy need to have accurate information. This includes how much their service is, how much they will get out of it, how much...

  12. Why do you believe what you believe, concerning your position on health care?

    Agrippa replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My position was based upon my research of how our current healthcare system works and more importantly, how it doesn't work for too many. Theres a plethora of data indicating how inefficient,...

  13. University of Maryland Traditional BSN Fall Program: Any idea when we will hear back?

    Agrippa replied to Agrippa's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Can anyone give us an idea of what the clinical schedules will be like for our first semester? Baltimore campus would be preferable.

  14. Pinching pennies or student loans?

    Agrippa replied to tracyd77's topic in General Students

    Wow, I thought you were going to take out some reaaal loans. But you're worrying about less than 10K total?!! I will be taking out $15,000 in my first year of nursing school for my BSN program. And...

  15. Loud, rude ,disrespectful behavior in the classroom

    Agrippa replied to dblpn's topic in General Students

    We had maaaany in law school.

  16. Loud, rude ,disrespectful behavior in the classroom

    Agrippa replied to dblpn's topic in General Students

    Yea, but it's disrespectful and inconsiderate when you force everyone in class to do so. Going on a personal tangent/anecdote that has little to no relevance to the course material, while also making...

    Agrippa replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

    So I'll be starting my BSN program in the summer. I'm kind of nervous because I am a procrastinator - I don't really have very good time management. What has always gotten me through my pre-reqs is...

  19. Question about Walden University

    Agrippa replied to swirlygirl's topic in School, College Programs

    Keep in mind advisors at whatever school have a primary interest - that is enrolling students. You are not the main concern, especially if the school is a for profit university (Phoenix, Walden,...

  20. University of Maryland Traditional BSN Fall Program: Any idea when we will hear back?

    Agrippa replied to Agrippa's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I really wouldn't worry too much on your letter of rec. I would keep them academic letters, but try to nail your remaining classes and write a good personal statement. LORs are by nature biased and...

  21. Completely mortified

    Agrippa replied to jamal27's topic in General Students

    I feel like people exaggerate in kind of a self deprecating way. Everyone always like to tell ya how hard it was, what kind of toils and snares they experienced.

  22. How time consuming is it?

    Agrippa replied to 2bJoshRN9788's topic in General Students

    I don't believe those who say that they really study for 50-60 hours. If you are, then you really need to learn to study more efficiently. Efficient studying is the key, not the amount of studying....
