Starting to think there should be some limits...

....on what a new AN member can do. For instance, you must be a member for 6 months before you're able to post a question. The homework issue is really getting out of hand!

Students don't even beat around the the bush or try to camouflage what they're doing. They just flat-out demand homework answers. Somewhere, it must be written that AN.com is the place to get your homework done.

I hear you. The other thing that I think people forget is that it's extremely hard to convey context and sarcasm through text. There's no tone of voice in a conversation through text. You might be being matter of fact and to the point and people take that as being negative and jerky when that's not the way it was meant at all.

That's what I worry about haha. I try to be blatant but in nicest of all terms because I don't want to be the a*****e of AN.

There was no Google when I was in nursing school.

Lol, I hear ya. But it is the way of the world today and l'm pretty sure it's the go to for most people in school.

On a side note.....I knew instructors tell students to post on AN!!!! I just wish they'd assign the projects as groups so we don't end up with 50 new posts on how we feel about nursing ethics and EMR's every other week.

I asked for, and received, help understanding the cardiac cycle a while back. Not only were my questions answered, I was given very helpful links that solidified the topic for me.

It would be a shame to be blocked from asking questions when you're actively trying to learn.

This is the whole thing. Some people just need something explained to them a different way and so come online for help. It makes a difference if someone is just trying to get out of the work or if they're wanting to get a better grasp on what they're studying.
