  1. To all "medical coverage is a privilege" folks:

    grpman replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My point was not to answer all of your questions, but to give you a "true" BS conserative answer so you could see the difference. The last sentence of my post read, " Now that was BS." Read it...

  2. Dont Know What to Do!!!!!!!!!

    grpman replied to hurditrthere's topic in General Students

    I don't know why you failed, but I can offer insight as to why some have failed at my school. Maybe 20% fail due to not studying enough, 20% are not good test takers (tons of reasons why this could...

  3. how do you feel about group projects?

    grpman replied to SC APRN's topic in General Students

    I rank them with BM's. I'm normally just glad when they're done

  4. If your teacher gets her tests directly off the Internet...

    grpman replied to Melseal's topic in General Students

    If anyone is to blame it would be the instructor for being so naive. Does she think that students only study from the text book?

  5. To all "medical coverage is a privilege" folks:

    grpman replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That wasn't BS or from a political view and I attempted to phrase it tactfully knowing that I have a hard time myself living up to my own ethics. However, I do have an answer: solve the problem by...

  6. To all "medical coverage is a privilege" folks:

    grpman replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I believe that food is a basic right and I give money and food accordingly which buttresses my beliefs. Likewise, those in favor of socialized health care should give of their resources and time to...

  7. Where do they find these clinical instructors?

    grpman replied to theantichick's topic in General Students

    I don't think you have to understand all the intricasies of a job to judge wether someone is good or not. If that were true, none of us should vote in the next

  8. HELP, an RN exam review question

    grpman replied to coldviva204's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks Ashley and Esme12 for the breakdown. It's a good reminder that the stem often provides the

  9. Feeling a bit overwhelmed (actually really overwhelmed)

    grpman replied to sergel02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would say that I haven't found my dream job yet. I wanted to be a mixed martial artist but I couldn't hit or kick very well and sponsors don't like paying people who can't win any matches. I also...

  10. adn or bsn

    grpman replied to dcw132003's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The BSN vs. ADN debate comes up about as much as herpes at a frat house and is just as polarizing. But hey, I'll still bite. More education is always better than less. However, less education is...

  11. My school is notorious

    grpman replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    I'll throw out a reason why some schools are so hard. It's so they can boast an insanely high NCLEX pass rate from their graduates. Nothing is better for business than saying we have a great pass...

  12. Double standard for men?

    grpman replied to grpman's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Lol. I thought of how that sounded but was hoping everyone would get what I was saying. I will elaborate so minds won't wander. The instructor in OB was making sure that everyone knew that sex...

  13. So.....the infection control nurse busted me.....

    grpman replied to mindlor's topic in General Students

    Hmmm...more for show than scientifically. Point taken and actually a good

  14. So.....the infection control nurse busted me.....

    grpman replied to mindlor's topic in General Students

    My answer deviates from many posts. I think the answer is yes and no. Yes, you broke a policy aimed at keeping people from getting illnesses and saving the hospital money. This is why you should...

  15. Double standard for men?

    grpman replied to grpman's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Thanks for the reply. Your experience is that in the workplace this isn't happening. Maybe that is because the penalties could be higher in that setting. Also, it doesn't bother me so I won't be...

  16. I'm going to scream...

    grpman replied to TheAmazingMrsA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I totally agree with the above posts. I studied for about 4 days on the big topics and took the test. Relax and take it. Nursing school will give you plenty to stress out about, but this isn't

  17. Double standard for men?

    grpman replied to grpman's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Thanks for the reply and it is interesting to see other people's insight on the subject. I understand joking about things we encounter and there is a different type of joking in healthcare. We all...

  18. Personalized License plates.

    grpman replied to Pneumothorax's topic in General Students

    I think they should feel silly getting out of the same vehicle with their student lab jacket with stitched school emblem and

  19. Opinions Please!!

    grpman replied to TFos's topic in General Students

    How catty.

  20. Newbie!

    grpman replied to nurse_jv's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It's good to see you here and congratulations on starting the journey. The ocean is big, but we hold our

  21. I May be in huge trouble....

    grpman replied to hlr2752's topic in General Students

    Do you really think all of your instructors have not tried any drug? If you applied your standards to the faculty, many of them would have to step down. Having tried a drug is not illegal. Just...

  22. I hate nursing exams

    grpman replied to RNbethy's topic in General Students

    Most students who use NCLEX study guides will not need to know the sex of the patient but will readily understand the answer becuase of the word "history" in the stem. Perfect example of why NCLEX...

  23. Nursing School Anxiety

    grpman replied to ericaej's topic in General Students

    10 hours part time in nursing school doens't equate to 10 hours in most other majors. Get everything in order to give yourself the best oppurtunity to pass. Nursing school being hard is relative....

  24. I hate nursing exams

    grpman replied to RNbethy's topic in General Students

    "Exam questions are almost exclusively multiple choice and either OVERLY simple (i.e. anyone could get the correct answer even without studying) or OVERLY weird (not hard, WEIRD.... as in you don't...

  25. Test questions taken directly from random NCLEX book. Unfair?

    grpman replied to Kboylan1's topic in General Students

    I've heard that questions at my school sometimes come from NCLEX review books. I don't have the one in particular and I'm not going to go study 3000 questions to hope they put a few on a test. I do...
