Pleas note: all quotations in the following were taken from posts made by Chris at Lucas RN: "I don't quite get why you all are so angry, or why my alleged emotions or affection or whatever have become the issue." Because: "Nice job, though as I said, the character assassination. So if potshots help, I have a pretty strong skin." Yet, you began the character assassinations and potshots... "The director is a frightening little woman who will make your life hell if you aren't young and blond and preferably extremely thin." "There are no emotions here, only facts." "On her watch, the school of nursing at CCCCD went from being accredited to being on probation. Trust me, you don't want this." Not fact, as it is unsupported by evidence. "I'm getting tired of the long winded slurs. Sometimes people who have very strong opinions and emotions and confuse those for facts, or who are easily upset when someone disagrees with them or doesn't share their opinion, have a need to punch down those who represent that." Subjective data: I call that 'rich' "So while you quote statistics, and that's impressive for a freshman or sophomore (I'm serious, it's impressive, even if you did get them from Nell or some other staff person)" The reporting agencies are represented with a link. Additionally, according to other posts by Gregory, I believe he has a least one BS in psychology. "I am talking about how many people who start, finish. Those data are not reported and won't be published. I am not certain what you mean by "retention rate for their grads." Retention rate means retention of students who graduate that are admitted to the program. I recall reading about the grant given to 3 schools including CC by the Texas Board of Education for their NCLEX pass rate and their retention (AKA attrition) rates in the Dallas Morning News. And, the real kicker is... "I've made my points, it seems difficult for people to grasp them, even though I have used pretty basic language and tried hard to make the metaphors simple so they can be understood." "Have you ever wondered why you cannot just toss in your two cents worth and let others do the same? That's a rhetorical question. It means an answer is neither wanted or expected." Ever heard of patronizing? That means you treat people as if they're stupid.
