Completely agree, as a father of three kids: 12, 11, and 9 year olds. The older they get, the more activities (school, sports, organizations, social gatherings) the parent(s) must juggle. At times, it's hard, and seemingly all consuming - there seem...

I just graduated yesterday, 04/06/07, as I had to repeat the final comprehensive HESI in which a score of >= 85% (raw score >= 950) is needed to graduate. So, just to let you know, if you don't pass the HESI the first time, the second HESI test...

Just found out today, via email from a cyber recruiter at the US Army Recruiting Command, that having had RK eye surgery is a disqualifying factor barring entry into the Army; no waiver whatsoever. Can anyone here corroborate this?

Thanks to all who have replied. Just received an email this mornning from the Optometry Consultant to the Office of The Surgeon General, Chief of Army Optometry, and Assistant Corps Chief for Optometry, Medical Service Corps: It is their postion t...

Thanks for the information. Greatly appreciated.

Avex, I'll be starting with you in April! Sorry I did not respond earlier, but I have not been on this board in a while. I normally hang out on the military board. PM me when you can.

Here's hoping to joining such a fine institution and serving with you outstanding patriots!

Please accept my apologies if I've offended you. These type of settings lend themselves to situations in whch people act and behave in a manner in which they otherwise would not.

This is an excerpt from a book I am reading called, "The End of Racism." It describes incidences that have happened that have led some to claim "racial bias": (I do not subscribe to many of the thoughts brought forth by this author because, in turn,...

Reread her post. She was referring to the "nasty" aspects of people's attitudes as applied and experienced in her immediate situation. It was not directed towards you.

How so? Give some examples.

Seek and you shall find. To suggest that scholarships have not been, or are not, available to non-minorities truly highlights how uninformed you are. I have no problem with the merit of your argument that AA is wrong because it inherently discrimi...

You would do yourself well to realize the complete idiocy of such a statement: white males have never benefited from an institutionalized class structure in which only their interests were represented?! So, you are saying that it has never occurred...

I think her point is that it cuts both ways. My nephew, for instance, who's African American, recently graduated from Moorehouse (International Business - he is fluent in speaking and writing Chinese), who upon graduation took a job with a financial...

So what you are in agreement with is its (diversity) implementation, in how it is acheived in certain settings, and that in its application, it is inherently discriminatory against certain groups -- I agree, too, on that point. But, the assertion t...

Diversity is responsible for discrimination? We are responsible for discrimination -- our thoughts and actions.

I do not think that term "diversity" should be construed as a vehicle for which racial discrimination, in any setting, is potentialy thwarted. Rather, it is a term that is meant to reflect our country's demographics -- including all the flaws and id...

CB, This is a concern for me as well. I had asked the following in a thread and this is the response I got -- although it concerns Drexel, as opposed to TJ, it might give you a better idea as to what you may be facing: Can anyone offer any detail...

How so?

Great thread, ladies and gentleman! It definetly provides a cathartic release. Especially when you read the commonality that is shared amongst us as a middle-class, regardless of race, color, creed, gender, or religion.

how true. i mean what does it take to get the middleclass supporters of the bush admin to realize that this adminstration puts the interests of big business and industry ahead of our interests.

Thanks for the info, Piper.

Can anyone offer any details on how clinicals, for the most part, are set up? For example: 1) Are the sites spread out throughout Philly, or in a centralized locale? 2) Do you need a vehicle to get to these sites, or is there nearby public transpor...

Congrats, wtbcrna! Best of luck to ya!

I've read and heard that eventually, 2011 - 2013, the entry level degree into Nurse Anesthsia will be a Doctorate (comparable to PharmD). Can anyone at this time offer any specifics on how this is to be implemented? I was pretty excited about read...
