  1. Chances of getting in????

    Well, I have decided to try and apply for the nursing program at North Hennepin Community College after this fall's semester (hoping to get into fall 2006 class). I will have completed all my pre-reqs with the exception of A&P 2. With the competi...
  2. well this being my first post, here is a little background: i am currently employed in a fairly stable position in mid-level management. my problem is that i am not personally satisfied at work. call it an early mid-life crisis i guess (i am 31 yea...
  3. Criminal Record

    Unfortunately, the legal system is not equal. I hear about it every day from my wonderful finace who is a public defender in the juvenile court system here in Minneapolis. If you are from a suburb, white, and wealthy you are treated much differentl...
  4. Atheist or Agnostic?

    Recovering son of a pentecostal minister here (i.e. Atheist)........................................................................ Workers of the World unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains..... Marx
  5. Arrested at 18

    My significant other is a public defender - if the case was thrown out and thus you were not convicted of a crime, I would not disclose. Getting arrested is not the same as being convicted. You should not have to disclose arrests.
  6. What is a union????

    Like the 40 hour work week, child labor laws, vacation, and days off??? If you do, thanks the unions..........
  7. My husband works for me- is this ever going to work?

    This has disaster written all over it. Most places do not allow a spouse in a supervisory role over another spouse. While it can work, it has the potential to be very disastrous.
  8. New BSN program...( Globe College )

    Wow...I am kind of surprised at this. Although, this school has a bad rep as a "private trade school/college".
  9. Need opinions from someone who has taken A&P I

    A&P is very school specific. Someone posted earlier that an A with one proffessor would be a C with another - they hit the nail right on the head. I have taken many advanced science courses (calculus based physics, organic chem), math courses (...
  10. Is this new grad a nut or what? Opinions please !

    I agree, you might be onto something here. Perhaps this grad is onto something. We could introduce a new nursing course - Nursing according to Monty Python. Of course everyone would be required to use a british accent in class and would even be gr...
  11. Nurse NOT among the fastest growing jobs/careers

    No, nursing is not the one of the "fastest growing jobs". But nursing will create a large number of jobs due to its current size. Take a career that currently employs 50,000 people and say it is projected to grow at 50% over the next 6 years - that...
  12. Going to North Hennepin

    A & P is a commitment. The average on our first test was in the high 60's. I did well on that one and the one we had last week but this has been one of the toughest A's I have had to work for. It seems that a lot of people are discouraged due ...
  13. A&P during summer session

    I think it depends on your prof. I have always been an A/B student (through an almost completed engineering degree - calc, physics, chemistry, differential equations etc.) and am finding that A & P 1 is giving me a run for my money. I have an A...
  14. What punishment should this nurse get?

    Why, do you think it is a little harsh?? Ok then how about just a flogging......
  15. Is this new grad a nut or what? Opinions please !

    Does this mean I should not go around quoting political, religous, and soical ideas from the Life of Brian, Holy Grail, and The Meaning of Life in a British accent when I become a nurse??? Darn........I was so looking forward to that.
  16. nursing majors shouldn't be eating donuts?

    I don't agree with a lot of your posts but I think this one is right on the money!
  17. What punishment should this nurse get?

    I say crucifixtion...........
  18. Going to North Hennepin

    At North Hennepin now doing A & P 1 (Dr. Ross - tough class but great prof.), Microbiology, Psych and Soc. - I am curious Sanskeet, do you have any idea of the GPAs of those who were adimitted to your nursing class? I plan on applying in Jan aft...
  19. Medicare Part B Premiums To Rise 13.2% Next Year

    Hey, we need to pay for that tax cut for the wealthy somehow......
  20. I was FIRED today!

    Welcome to "at will employment"........
  21. How is your chemistry and biology? If those are recent, you should be OK. Also, it depends on your A & P prof. as this class can be a tough one. I personally spend about 15 to 18 hours a week on A & P 1 alone.
  22. Do you like Minnesota?

    Like I said, taxes are the price we pay civilizaton. Taxes are an investment in our country, our future and children - I could never figure out why people cannot fathom that........
  23. Do you like Minnesota?

    Hey shellyjellybelly the reason why Minnesota is a great state is because of the investment people have made here!!! I look at taxes as the price we pay for civilization (at least when they are invested and used wisely). Anyhow, I don't think I cou...
  24. Is this a ripoff?

    I agree with chris_at_lucas_RN on this one.....Basic study guides that will show which type of questions will be asked as well as the format are your best bet.
  25. Actually, if you look at the first posts on this topic (mine included) they were all giving legal advice - which is what the original poster was asking. It was not until the second page that some decided to pass moral judgement and take this post do...
