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

    Streamline2010 replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    I really am NOT being catty. RN is degree #3 for me. In my first career, my job description changed 4-5 times while I was still in the same job. And the name of my employer changed 4 times, too....

  2. What colleges offer RN - BSN for graduates of ITT Tech?

    Streamline2010 replied to Tj14's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'd say look at any conventional diploma or associate degree RN nursing program, and forget ITT, for the same reasons the others said: You already know that you want to wind up a BSRN or higher. In...

  4. Denied Associate Degree Nursing

    Streamline2010 replied to mommy1017's topic in General Students

    Yay! But if I were betting on the outcome, I'd have bet that school had no legal leg to stand on after having given you written acceptance of your English I as transfer credit. Some Einstein there...

  5. How can I find financial aide for a school that is considered a college?

    Streamline2010 replied to pandahug's topic in General Students

    Downey Adult School LPN is 12 months, and she's saying the total cost for the class she's admitted to is $8995, which is not bad for LPN. Per the website, it goes up to $9995 for the May2011 - May212...

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

    Streamline2010 replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    Powerpoints are used all the time in the business world, and I do mean ALL the time, and are usually very effective screen shows. Maybe it depends on who designs them. As for schools using them,...

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

    Streamline2010 replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    If it's that bad, don't sit there and struggle. Report it to the college. Put it on ratemyprofessors.com (or whatever that site is.) Send your parents and everyone else's parents in there to that...

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

    Streamline2010 replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    LOL, I had to go look up "Millennial Learners" because I didn't know what that was. "may not sufficiently motivate students or inspire enthusiasm or intellectual curiosity": Oh, cry me a river....

  10. How bad is an "F" for a science course

    Streamline2010 replied to cookie91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just reread that. I am not sure I understood, but you only have one actual F now? Then take the C in A&P and avoid another F at all costs. Try to get any F grades removed from your record, is...

  11. What Exactly Is Nursing Fundamentals

    Streamline2010 replied to blueyesue's topic in General Students

    I bought an inexpensive used textbook on eBay, just so I could see what the med calculations were all about, because I heard that it's very difficult. I bought 7th edition "Dosage Calculations" by...

  12. Too many schools?

    Streamline2010 replied to Yuppers21's topic in General Students

    I have, in one instance, seen "the governing body" suspend and threaten to revoke the accreditation of an established associate degree RN program at a university, because of abysmally low NCLEX pass...

  13. Too many schools?

    Streamline2010 replied to Yuppers21's topic in General Students

    Who says that you, the nursing school grad, are or ever were, entitled to employment in the same community that you went to school in? If you can't find a job there, then you can move to wherever...

  14. students please tell me what would you do???

    Streamline2010 replied to keepmovingrn's topic in General Students

    A&P I has no math that I recall, lol. It has lots of rote memorization of human body parts. Can you find another school within commuting distance (that doesn't require any prereq that you haven't...

  15. Advice to nursing students from a hiring manager

    Streamline2010 replied to Linda328's topic in General Students

    LPNs are not usually hired by hospitals. They work in nursing homes and long term care. I would expect employment to grow in both of those industries, because insurance companies are cutting the...

  16. I think nursing isn't for me.

    Streamline2010 replied to workinghardforit's topic in General Students

    What others said, plus there are bad instructors and good instructors, too, no matter what the field. Some just have no patience, hate their jobs, and/or lack people skills or teaching skills....

  17. Chemistry requirement on it's way out?

    Streamline2010 replied to CER022512's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most college programs that don't require it have buried it in the college entrance requirement, as part of the high school college prep classes. If you don't have sufficient HS college training or...

  18. What pay are nurses making these days?

    Streamline2010 replied to BeOne77's topic in General Nursing

  19. Why am I a B student?

    Streamline2010 replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    I have been told to be practicing those NCLEX questions the whole time we are on that particular nursing rotation. Personally, I didn't do study groups for my other degrees nor for my prereqs, and I...

  20. Am I over-thinking, or are these just bad test questions?

    Streamline2010 replied to chicken1's topic in General Students

    Okay, noted, lol. But that question made it sound like the nurse was deficient for not initiating a whole long conversation. If I had a busy nurse, I'd not be demanding much of him/her if I could...

  21. Terrified to go back to school?

    Streamline2010 replied to starfishlpn's topic in LPN to RN

    I would hazard a guess that the RN program will have to (briefly) re-teach whatever applicable skills you need for the RN program, simply to tell students from diverse educational backgrounds how the...

    Streamline2010 replied to shortscrubbs108's topic in LPN to RN

  23. Anyone made career change from engineering to Nursing?

    Streamline2010 replied to lmf2006's topic in General Students

    Not true. The push for "magnet" hospitals (ANCC Magnet Recognition Program® - American Nurses Credentialing Center - ANCC , but I admit I don't know the details) means those hospitals want BSRNs...

  25. *Vent* RN's make toast?!?!?!

    Streamline2010 replied to WickedRedRN's topic in General Nursing

    You forgot accidentally drop the fork or knife into the toaster, and swear you don't know who did it, but you're glad nobody was injured when the fire occurred. Somehow, the mere mention of "toast"...
