Are test banks allowed if the professor doesn't use them
This is going to make me sound stupid but what is a test bank?

French vs. Spanish
You can see if your school offers credit by exam so that you do not have to take as many french classes. Then you can still explore spanish.

Outrageous Healthcare Proposal
Yep but also with children. No flame throwers but children I think are often incredibly expensive to treat. NICU anyone.... that is really where my mind imediately went. They do not have living wills as minors. It applies to everyone though, young and old. I think viability is a very good marker. We look at viability in organ donation. That would reign in health care as a part of GDP in a heartbeat.

Outrageous Healthcare Proposal
Using more equitable and financially justifiably means to determine who deserves treatment/the extent of it. Ex...is it worth 15 million dollars to prolong a terminal life for a matter of a few months? Although I think this is likely like MSRP.... because insurance companies don't pay that... but it would be the value if someone without adequate insurance wanted the same treatment then they would get a big DECLINED from the hospital.

Appealing a grade
HAve you looked to see what your schools rules are about professors changing grading scales mid way?

Advice on applying to other nursing programs due to clinical failure.
You have to remember the school is going to go by what the school says not what you say. And it still sounds like a lack of ownership phrasing it like that. Nodding off and falling asleep are in the same boat. What if you stop taking medication again? Will your behaviors return? Even if you think there is a slightly different interpretation it doesn't change what the paperwork says.

2nd Year Break?
You know yourself best. I think you have to be honest with yourself as to how this normally goes for you first and foremost and then decide how that factors in to your ability to be a student. You may want to do humanitarian work but if you fail classes because you are spiraling and you stayed you won't be doing humanitarian work anyway and will be worse off then taking a year.

Afraid A&P is Going to Sink Me
Ya... I'm to embarrassed to post my stats they are likely lower than almost everyone's so I try to stay out of those discussions or I get pissy looking at the people with high gpas who are all like I have a 4.0 will I get in?! Omg. Ok soap box over. I wish you luck! I haven't taken my HESI yet. I wish you luck!

Afraid A&P is Going to Sink Me
Oh the irony. Apparently it was the chem I really should have been afraid of not A and P. That test was really hard.

94 or higher is an A?
I think this is so important. GPA does not show knowledge or ability to apply critical knowledge and yet it is a standard we use to prove worth. There should be greater emphasis on skill and application and I think we lose that when we put such heavy emphasis on GPA, especially when GPAs are distributed so unequally.
-
94 or higher is an A?
I'm not in a nursing program but I thought 94, 90 for an A- was normal? I feel like that is pretty standard so that scale is tough but not far off. Maybe where you went to school before was the exception?

Admission essay help
Why do you want to be accountable for someone else? Maybe it is a word choice but to me it seems strange and there are many ways to be accountable for someone else. You could baby sit. I would definitely look at Grammer and syntax. Your diction in general also could use a second glance. Partook is technically a word but it sounds strange in my opinion. I would also just read through sentence by sentence and think how does this arrangement sound? You are a fluffy writer (wordy), I am to. Maybe try to be a little more succinct? That is one of the reasons I asked for length requirements. Do they want this to read sensationally? Or a little more...direct? You also bounce between tenses. First person and second person. Do you know what kind of nurse you want to be? There is a difference between what an ER nurse would do and a nurse in a clinic or acute care would do. I am seeing all kinds of nursing in this? If you have an idea it would make it sound like you have done more homework and have a better understanding of what you want for your career. Does this program produce certain types of nurses? That would be something to consider. I'll stop for now. It's a start. You have something to talk about, that is good. Just have to refine it. Goodluck!

Sorry you are right you did. But still what are their expectations? How long? What level is this? BSN? MSN? AD? I think different levels will have different expectations. Any tips that you have recieved from the program about it?

Shadowing an FNP in the east bay/SF?
Do you mind if I ask what hospital you are volunteering at? Or at least what city it is in?

Accreditation questions
Is it the program or the college that is not accredited? It just occurred to me that if the school is accredited by a body that is recognized that works to. You could then just transfer to another school. U.S. Department of Education Database of Accredited Postsecondary Institutions and Programs The school is accredited. My advice would be to transfer to another school/ apply to other nursing programs that are accredited by ACEN as HouTx said. The website lists their nursing program as ACEN accredited though (and so does ACEN on their website) so idk what is going on.

Is using illegal drugs on the uptick?
If that is referring to increased death rates if I remember correctly they were linking some to prescription drugs but I don't fully remember so I'm not going to try to support that theory. It's just a fun fact and drugs come in all shapes and forms and it certainly isn't mentioned to justify how drugs are classified but it is how it goes. It doesn't make the stat any different. If you would like you can look into alcohol related deaths and identify any trends you may see. I certainly would find it interesting.

New ER nurse, forced to quit just after completing internship for husband's job relocation
Could you consider staying if your pregnancy gets better? You are a new grad and will probably take some time off after the birth? If you stay you could get a little more experience under your belt before being off for a yearish almost or more depending on your timeline. Ignore this, I read it wrong. Ya this is a good time since you are done with the internship. I thought that you weren't done.

Is using illegal drugs on the uptick?
There has apparently been an increase in drug related deaths actually. So I would say so, at least I guess drug related deaths are increasing, that does not necessarily mean drug use is technically. I of coorifice have not gone over the data myself but it is interesting. Anyone hear about that HIV outbreak in Indiana not to long ago? Have you looked at the CDCs data?

Accreditation questions
I think you will have a hard time. A lot of places only hire from accredited programs including the federal govt if you go oversees and want to try and work on base.

Afraid A&P is Going to Sink Me
I GOT A B! I know that isn't amazing but the average was a 71.5% so I will take it. I am kicking myself cuz there was an easy one I know and for some reason I chose the wrong answer. Maybe psyched myself out. I got some guesses right though so I guess I still did ok. Definitely a learning lesson though! Thank you for the support and tips!

Sadly no, I dont. I bought the ebook because it saved me $200. I'm not sure if the hard copy version does. I will look at anatomyGMC. Thanks!
