um, actually, Lethbridge went cbl too...(i know because they announced it the week i looked into thier program as a possible alternative) as for what do you do about missed content--the answer i get is 'don't worry, it'll all come together...those questions on the final exam about content you didn't cover? oh...well...hmmmmm' (think i can't write 'hmmmm' on the nclex?) i wasn't reassured. would you be reassured if that missed content directly related to the care of a loved one?

thanks adrena

peeps--BEWARE and be warned that it is unlikely that any cbl credit you earn will likely count for zilch anywhere you might want to transfer.... i've learned this through bitter experience. every other non-cbl school i applied to said 'sorry, back to first year for you'

feels so gosh darn validated! hey, adrena, if you don't mind me asking, where did you go to school? and why is alberta so obsessed with this cbl crap? (i'm an alberta student too) i'm thinking about quitting...i've done this once already but returned...i just don't know....

repeats self..... it's crap c-r-a-p crap crrrrrraaaappppppppp whew

it is complete and utter CRAP CRAP, i tell you, CRRRRAPPPPPPP!

...hey journeyy....did you miss my last posting? check it out, think it might apply esp. to you...

i'm feeling pretty ancient to be a nsg student at 27 (most of my classmates are in thier early 20s with few exceptions)....but, lol, apparently i am about average, reading these posts....

PMSL people, people, people - learn to relax a little....bend a little or you'll just snap, my friends....frankly, i am a little worried about some of us...

...um, are you without a textbook?

...oh sarah, i hear you! LOL, my general views on CBL have been broadcasted loud and clear here, so i will spare everyone another rant....about the time management issue, i couldn't agree more though. i find it amazing that we are given EVEN LESS time to operate/learn within a group setting than we would be given in a more traditional setting. doesn't it seem logical (call me wacky) that we should have more, NOT LESS, time considering it is just a bulkier, more complex process than "walk into the classroom, sit down, take notes, leave"? ...again, i would like to mention that i do realize i am not particularly suited to this learning style, but i am intrested in what others (not you chaundra, i know what you think, i see you every day, lol) involved in this process honestly think of it, re: both it's strengths and weaknesses, your prediction about what kind of nurses it will produve, etc.......pretty much anything you want to share about your experiences with this infernal program....ooop, i mean, um..innovative program, LMAO. thanks and cheers!

CBL IS EVIL, AWFUL, AND JUST PLAIN WRONG......WRONG I TELL YOU, WROOOONNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG!

CBL? PFFFFFFTTTTTT! i recently just dropped my BScN program in the middle of my second year of a context based learning program...and although i will continue with my nsg education (i have applied to several non-cbl universities) and was not unsuccesful, it will not be in a cbl program. honestly, i cannot say i would be totally comfortable with a cbl-trained nurse looking after myself or a loved one in a critical care setting....in a community health setting, sure, no problem, but definitely not in a life and death situation. i have had and continue to have some serious concerns about the overall effectiveness and even viability of this type of training. ...and, lol, don't even get me started about the non-transferability of the damn program! (hey chaundra, guess who? lol)
