    CrazierThanYou replied to dade4l's topic in General Students

    I know what you mean. I'm in a class of some of the most horrid women I've ever met. There is a man in the class who is in his sixties and he is treated like a leper. I mean, they are really horrible...

    Why Do Nursing Instructors Rely So Heavily On PowerPoints To Teach?

    The reading from the PowerPoints is the ONLY "lecture" we get from one of our instructors. I can stay home and get that! Our other instructor doesn't use the PowerPoints very much. Instead, her...

    CrazierThanYou replied to Amber0515's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    In my state, nursing programs are only allowed to base grades on our tests. No papers, no projects, no extra credit as those are considered "padding" for grades. I see that you do have to do papers...
