  1. Infuriating Responses To Questions

    No, actually it's not. You're reading too much into the question. Maybe in the instances that YOU have experienced, this may be the case. But isn't it possible that in my question, it wasn't...

    Wow, projecting much? The requirement of critical thinking is not solely owned by the profession of
  4. Infuriating Responses To Questions

    Answering questions with questions can be a method of soliciting information for which the person asking the question has no way of knowing. In the case of this thread, I was simply asking a question...
  5. Infuriating Responses To Questions

    I think it would be great if the NCLEX exam was a series of questions that we could answer with questions. I think that it would be a great way of allowing the test administrators to guess what we...
  6. Yeah, I know exactly how you feel BUT no matter how many times I yell at the mirror... it never changes! I would if I could, but I can't. I think that balloons might be fun and would definitely...

    Awesome
  8. Infuriating Responses To Questions

    It's extremely awkward when a professor does this in class and then challenges the student's answer. If the student knew the answer and the professor is soliciting questions, then aren't they sending...
  9. Nice...
  10. White scrubs...you have got to be kidding!

    Good survey. I wonder if the results would be different if we included voter profile by age and
  11. Jealous Nurses!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm very impressed by my classmates. It's insanely competitive to get into the nursing program and yet... they take all of the pre-requisite courses and continue to try. It was easier for me to be...
  12. Jealous Nurses!!!!!!!!!!!

    An earlier post described RNs obtaining their two year degrees, but with all of the pre-requisites and breadth requirements, they don't equal 2 years. It might be a California thing. When I received...
  13. Jealous Nurses!!!!!!!!!!!

    None of the RN programs that I'm aware of can be completed in 2 years. They're just classified as a two-year degree.
  14. Jealous Nurses!!!!!!!!!!!

    I think that more than 40 percent of RNs only possess an ADN. One opinion is that people that have worked in a profession for a long time deserve to be paid more. Don't most people want to be paid...

    IMHO: This is a bad thread, I can't very much good coming out of this
  16. what are my chances for acceptance! TCC

    I agree with this entire post. I saw too many of my classmates turned away with B's. On the other hand, it depends on whether there is a lottery or waitlist system that only requires a minimum...
  17. does it get easier? Or am I just crappy at this?

    Practice, practice, practice... don't be too hard on yourself. This is a humbling experience that you can benefit from in the
  18. Because of waitlists and lotteries, the academically strong students are highly encouraged to apply to programs that admit students on a competitive basis. I'm also in CA. Based upon your grades,...
  19. Definitely, the understanding with your boss is the primary requirement. I definitely agree! As a supervisor, it's important for them to know what employees are doing while on the clock. As a...
  20. Yup. Female nurses are more fun. They're soft and squishy and catty. They have endless conversations about tons of irrelevant crap and are the source of endless amusement. This is not to say that they...
  21. White scrubs...you have got to be kidding!

    Didn't I see you post somewhere that "nursing sucks"? Hmmm... let's not wear white so that it can suck less. I think I've seen a Norman Rockwell with a butcher wearing all white.:chuckle I forgot...
  22. It's true, many more men are getting into Nursing schools. Research on gender differences in the past indicate that boys typically performed better in mathematics and sciences than girls. Thus it...
  23. White scrubs...you have got to be kidding!

    Suesquatch, haven't you moved on to informatics and refer to yourself as the geek nurse? Keyboards getting the whites dirty much? (Just kidding) Anyway, it may be a guy thing. I don't like whites...
  24. White scrubs...you have got to be kidding!

    We have to wear all white in the nursing program that I'm attending. It's intended to psychologically put us in a psychologically submissive mindset. This is a throwback from the old diploma school...
  25. Too nice to be a nurse?

    Sorry to disagree, but she does have a problem. The OP is nice enough that this has hurt her feelings and messed with her head. She's also angry with someone that she needs to deal with and if...
