  1. ITT Tech's New Program???

    I don't know anything about MO, but (and you may have this already) here is a link to a listing of all the PN and RN programs in your state. There do seem to be some community colleges on the RN list. http://pr.mo.gov/boards/nursing/schoolsofnursing...
  2. ITT Tech's New Program???

    No one but you can say if any school is good for you. ITT Tech is very expensive (it's associate degree costs more than my bachelors degree did), and it's credits are not nearly as readily accepted as transfer credits by other schools when compared ...
  3. Thankfully, that hasn't been my experience, for the most part, I've had wonderful, knowledgeable, talented and caring Professors. I'm sorry if it's been yours though.
  4. So the Professor has no responsibility regarding the quality of their performance? I agree the student is responsible for their learning....but surely the Professor is also responsible for teaching? A student ultimately responsible for their learning...
  5. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

    I don't know what CBS said, but last I checked they are not a peer reviewed scholarly source (not sure if the CDC was an approved source for scholarly research in your BSN program or not...). What was reported in the Lancet Infectious Diseases articl...
  6. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

    So, you choose to do nothing to change a situation you don't want (since no one held a gun to anyone's head, or strapped anyone down to force a medical procedure there was no "forcing")....instead chose to just to gripe and complain. Actions speak vo...
  7. Do You Wear a Lab coat?

    That may be in your facility. My nursing school dress code required me to wear a lab coat, that went down to my knees, when I picked up my patient information for the next morning. Each place is different.
  8. Crap...now what?

    The bigger concern I'd have, if I were you, is why I was sitting at a 79 average? Am I not understanding the material? Am I trying to cram for exams? Do I need to brush up on my test taking skills? All of these issues will come back to haunt you i...
  9. Crap...now what?

    True, but not passing the NCLEX means you won't be a nurse (at least until you pass it) Theoretically there is a practical exam.......it's called clinicals. Clinical instructors aren't supposed to pass any student who isn't safe. I disagree with lot...
  10. Any news from RCC fall 2011?

    I'm going to guess that there are many, many schools that use the abbreviation, RCC. You may want to narrow it down, and maybe even post this in your state forum.
  11. that may be, but all my classmates are on fb....that's where we share information and get our questions answered. i do have a linkedin account for professional networking, but if the audience you're trying to speak with is not using that tool....it'...
  12. I've looked at a number of those sites....all the information was wrong (the closest one of the sites got was where I lived 20+ years ago the rest didn't even have that). As long as you take reasonable measures with your data as far as giving it out...
  13. Censoring is really just about using common sense. There's things you'd say to your friends in confidence, sitting in your kitchen that you may not say at a wedding reception filled with your friends and family. It's just about remembering who you'...
  14. any nurses or nursing students who's into fitness?

    What time do you have clinicals? We need to be at the hospital at 0630 and I'm already getting up at 0500 for that....your schedule would have me getting up at 0300...
  15. Who pays for your pin?

    We have the option to buy one of several different levels of quality of pins (gold plated on up through 24k). The cheapest option was around $35.
