Feel like I need to babysit my professors so I get my extra time accommodation

Exactly. I doubt she will ever even attempt a PhD, if she does and finishes one then damn straight she should be referred to as Dr. blah blah.

It does flow up to the workplace, dummy. Clearly you aren't a manager or an important person anywhere. There are laws inlace to allow or the extra time.

There is no law in place to allow a nurse to deliver medications 2 hours later to allow a project manager to deliver the project to his client a week past the clients deadline. Nice try.

Are you bigotedly pushing disabled people out of the workplace

Jesus H. Christ on a Triscuit. Do you want a nurse anesthetist who needs twice as long to figure out the combination and dose of drugs to give you during surgery, knowing that even a tiny error or slip up could mean lights out? What about a fireman who requires an extra 50% time to get to your house and hook up the hose while your home and all your possessions are going up in flames?

It's easy to virtue signal and sound woke about these issues in the abstract and theoretical setting of an anonymous forum. But when it's your life or livelihood on the line, no one wants to put it in the hands of a DEI or special accommodations hire.

You sound unhinged.

100% unhinged. The reality of all of this is people self-select what degree the get, the work they do based on their skill set or boundaries they have to overcome. We all know that my kids will not become doctors or nurse anesthetist. They have neither the inclination nor the skill set. I work with many individuals that need accommodations in their work environment due to physical challenges. I have co-workers that have ADHD and the position they hold is one that works to their strengths. But the Unhinged poster seems to think these folks shouldn't even have a chance.

I agree with the unhinged poster. No way in hell would I want a nurse who needed extra time in school caring for someone I love. I want someone who is as capable as possible caring for those in hospitals. There are certain environments that people with adhd or executive function issues simply should not work, unless medicated and then they don’t need any other extra accommodations in school to earn their degree. I know a person who attempted to go to nursing school and dropped out because it was too hard. Good!

Also, I don't see why all students shouldn't get accomodations.

I looked it up. She's an associate professor. I don't think she's well liked by students.
Unsure if that matters but I hear a lot of student talk badly about her. On the rate my professor website she has very low scores.

Do you realize there are a lot of different types of nurses, right? Some only go to community college. It's probably the one field where a lot of people graduated HS with a GED.

Quick comments from a professor.

1) Smart undergrads call everyone "professor" so they don't need to remember names.

2) As on the T.V show "Big Bang Theory", Ph.D. colleagues use first names, like "Raj" or "Howard". It is then hilarious when they get addressed as "Dr. Koothrappali" or "Dr. Wolowitz" in formal situations. I give a break to Chinese students who write "Professor Mike" or "Dr. Mike" or whatever.

3) That professor is silly for not giving requisite extra time. This could be a major headache or disabilities lawsuit. A quick email to the right student office should fix it quickly. As an administrator, I would be furious to waste my time if the professor did not follow rules. To avoid wasting further time and risking lawsuits, I would even consider allowing the student to retake the same exact test with unlimited time.

True but those low education level nurses are not given the greatest responsibility unless they have proved themselves to be able to be focused, correct, and able to have high level time management skills. I’m not taking about someone who works as an assistant in a doctors office.

Yes but the "unhinged" PP wasn't talking about a bedpan cleaner, they were talking about a nurse anesthetist, a job that requires laser focus, rapid decision-making, and basically the ability to never make even a tiny mistake. I don't think it makes me or the PP and ableist bigot to not want an "extra time" kid to sneak into that profession and end up killing my loved one on the operating table.

Are ok with your frail hospitalized parent getting subpar care because the RN needed an accommodation to have more time to give meds to patients? I mean who cares that the patient is in pain because the meds where given two hours late - the RN has an accommodation!

Are you equally ok for paying twice the billable hours for an attorney, because they demand a disability accommodation for 50% more time than the deadline?

He is now graduated and in the workplace. He is doing amazingly well. Imagine if he went through school without the accommodations. He'd be working in some low wage position after graduating from community college.

Accommodations are amazing.

Wow, imagine how well every kid would do if they all got accommodations!

Exactly this. I even hear it in the workplace. And not for physical issues. It's ridiculous.

You mean your peers? Yeah, that's different. Even in a college setting faculty go by first names with colleagues while being called Professor or Dr Lastname by students.

Nice pedigree display though!

Very strange and utterly false take. It’s true that hospitals in some areas/states don’t really higher LPNs anymore, although many have been grandfathered in, and when they do there are a handful aspects of care they can’t do at all or without supervision. And it has nothing to do with “proving themselves” it’s just a legal scope of practice. But there are many many LPNs doing the same job with an associates as an RN in all other areas of nursing. Assistants in doctor’s offices are typically medical assistants, not nurses at all.

Welcome to the real world.

Students at lower ranked colleges often call professors "teachers." Many of these kids see college as an extension of high school.

Never heard that one before.

NP (new poster and also nurse practitioner). I’m an acute care NP who required a few accommodations, including double time on tests in school, on the NCLEX, and the AANP. I work in a 79 bed ICU. I order meds, intubate, put in central/arterial lines, do lumbar punctures and paracentesis, and run codes. I had the opportunity to go into a CRNA program, and almost did, but I decided anesthesia is too boring and isolating.

Glad I was able to sneak by you
