    Urine test

    lifelearningrn replied to TamTam23's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not saying the company can't say- 'No smoking' or even refuse to hire smokers. What I am saying is they shouldn't be able to test for substances other than illegal ones. When we start letting them...

    Good luck on your Stats test... My teacher was awesome.. and as long as you got the formulas correct and did the steps accordangly, she didn't count a lot off for a minor arithmetic issue. So if you...

    Urine test

    lifelearningrn replied to TamTam23's topic in General Nursing

    There really is no 'process' of quitting. The only way to do it is to just do it. I quit 9 years ago and have never looked back. It is NOT hard to quit once you decide just to do it. All I did was get...

    Urine test

    lifelearningrn replied to TamTam23's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see the TESTING as an issue of capitalism, I see it an issue of privacy. Being capitalist does not and should not mean that the corporations control every aspect of our lives in order to give...

    Anyone ever take A&P I and Chemistry together?

    lifelearningrn replied to ahsile's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking it next semester with A&P 2 so I sure hope it's doable! I'm adding Micro to the mix as well so I may be downright insane... FWIW- I say go for it! We can pull our hair out

    Urine test

    lifelearningrn replied to TamTam23's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a smoker nor do I do drugs.. HOWEVER- This is the problem I have with pre-employment urine/blood/hair tests. Things ARE starting to slip down the slope.. The original purpose of these tests...

    Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

    lifelearningrn replied to Copperismydog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know nursing is the goal of all of us.. and anyone who is SERIOUS about going into nursing is going to bust their hump in these classes. But these classes aren't JUST for nursing majors. And a lot...

    Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

    lifelearningrn replied to Copperismydog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Who mentioned anything about randomly increasing grades? It's not like the teacher is saying, 'you know what, you should get an A even though you're giving me C work!' I don't know about your...

    What Do You Find Hardest About A&P I

    lifelearningrn posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    lifelearningrn replied to bonae's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One of the biggest problems I find with online classes is that the teachers don't seem to care much about student success/failure. (generally speaking, I've had a couple a good online teachers-but...

    Possible needlestick injury or just paranoid

    lifelearningrn replied to grace202004's topic in General Nursing

    HIV dies pretty quickly outside of it's human host, so I doubt you could have been exposed to a needle that was sitting in a trash for who knows how long. I kind of think it's a moot point though...

    Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

    lifelearningrn replied to Copperismydog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe doing ALL of these things is a little much.. but I think there are more ways of teaching than just the lecture-student cram-exam method. A take home test that is designed to make the students...

    IS Gluttony a Disease or Choice?

    lifelearningrn replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    Weight problems are not just about eating. Genetics DO play a role. Environment DOES play a role. Physiology plays a role. This is such a dynamic issue that you can not just say, "Oh- this person is...

    Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

    lifelearningrn replied to Copperismydog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't disagree that you get a lot more out of an in person class than an online class. I've taken many online and rarely get a lot out of them. My online tests have always been timed and multiple...
