   Congrats, Flames - I just finished too! Great to know I have a month off before starting at Gonzaga. I got accepted into their PMHNP as of last week, so I'm excited :) Also happy to have a month off from writing papers and studying.

   Solitaire.G replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School Programs

   I do wonder the same. Day after day I see people copy/pasting straight from sources, etc etc - then again, each DQ is worth like 5 freakin points, so the grand total is 50 points, or .5 of a percent! Why they aren't kicked out of the program for plag...

   Solitaire.G replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School Programs

   I figure some of you won't believe this, but in that class that I turned in two students for blatant plagiarism, I then had to turn in the professor as well - I was going to wait until I finished the program, but I couldn't let it go that long. Sent ...

   Actually, that was a fun - and solo,thank goodness - PP presentation. I did mine on "Rainman" but on Tom Cruise's character, Raymond, and his Narcissistic Personality Disorder, his lack of empathy, inability to create emotional bonds with others or r...

   Solitaire.G replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School Programs

   Last day of Intro to Research. I am absolutely livid at the moment! I had noticed that week #5, under grading, didn't add up to 1000 points - had a whole 150 pts missing. So when people started asking questions about how to turn in their PICOT etc, I...

6. People really need to stop coming into nursing

   Solitaire.G replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

   Same here as well. I was working as an orderly, saw what the RNs were doing, and said, "I can do that too," and double my income (from $6 an hour to $12 - gee, thanks Florida RN pay!). Funny now, I make that much in ten minutes here in California, al...

   Yep, I've had several nurse managers who fit that description. Their ignorance of their incompetence is laughable, and dangerous. It can border on delusional.

   Like asking an eagle if he cares what the pigs think . . . . If I make a mistake, which certainly I am quite capable of, I am happy to own it. tokmom: the professor has obviously talked to this particular student, as her answers have gone from copie...

   Solitaire.G replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

   As an orderly who was paid $3-4 an hour the entire time I was in nursing school, I now consider that to be volunteer work Thankfully, the hospital had tuition assistance so at least most of my schooling was paid for.

    Solitaire.G replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School Programs

    I'm saying that I've caught people copying and pasting straight from an article, without quoting it, without citing it, as if they wrote it themselves - and citing a completely different article. It is outright plagiarism. Yes, I've gone through the ...

    Solitaire.G replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School Programs

    In my first week of Intro to Research. Four more classes after that. One thing that is driving me 'round the bend is all the plagiarism that I see - every week, every class, since I started last year. I've had it. I'm reporting every single instance ...

    Glad I'm in Northern California. 99% of OP doesn't apply. Get your nursing unions, other states.

    Coming up on the last week of Stats. Gotta say, based upon the forum posts, I'm glad there's no CLC for this. I do feel empathy for my cohorts that just aren't getting it, but surprisingly more people remain on the roster than I expected. Spiritualit...

    Solitaire.G replied to tokmom's topic in Online Learning

    It's so easy to highlight passages nowadays, in Word, if highlighting stuff is really necessary. I have been printing out stuff that I'll want to actually study in the future, like the adult physical assessment articles or whatnot. Finishing Communit...

    Solitaire.G replied to tokmom's topic in Online Learning

    This is the case for me here in NorCal. I've got 20 years as a psych RN - but many of the decent places to work around here are requiring BSNs now (Stanford, Kaiser, e.g.). I do start with Kaiser tomorrow, actually, at an outpatient chemical dependen...
