    Buyer beware replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, that is was the way it was back then in many instances. But call it what you will, it was always a matter of training the young ones. (social ineptitude syndrome) Anyway, the least they could...

  11. "NETY" and Other Fallacies

    Buyer beware replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

  13. ADN to BSN or straight BSN?

    Buyer beware replied to Nurselizbeth's topic in Aesthetics

    Why the confusion? No problem as far as I can see. You know what you want to do and I am assuming you're hooked up with a plastics concern in some way. So, since you're not in school yet, take the...

    Buyer beware replied to tboulos's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  18. ITT Tech closing ALL schools nationwide

    Buyer beware replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    I don't think there are many people of good will that want anyone excluded from becoming a nurse. It's just that the net is replete with horror stories of minorities, vets and atypical older students...

  19. ITT Tech closing ALL schools nationwide

    Buyer beware replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    I'll tell you how. It's about social Darwinism. If you start with cohort class #1 of 100 students and 4-6 years later only 20 students actually graduate and the majority of them pass the NCLEX, then...

  20. Making Nursing Education More Universal

    Buyer beware replied to AutumnApple's topic in General Nursing

  24. I'm an idiot. How difficult is it to get into Hunter's nursing programs?

    Buyer beware replied to okokok456's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
