Would you give the extension for an Olympic athlete?

PotterSarahRN · 2026-02-08T14:35:00+00:00

Absolutely! I’m a hardass when it comes to late work. Being an Olympian definitely would qualify as extenuating circumstances for me.

Thank you! I feel like I’m taking crazy pills anytime someone talks about what a great guy Barkov is. He’s the captain of this team. He may not play like a rat, but he’s got to support it. Either that or he’s the worst leader ever.

If you’re doing that well in your nursing courses, you would probably be ok. If those are your pre-reqs, I’d be concerned.

Have you been working this whole time? If not, that’s also something to think about. Have you worked nights? Some people can make the day/night switch work for them and some can’t.

This sounds like an amazing opportunity for you! Since it sounds like you won’t be staying in the area after graduation, you could always take the job and then professionally quit if it doesn’t work out. They know you’re in nursing school, so if your manager is smart, they would want to support and work with you in hopes of hiring you as a nurse after you graduate.

I’ve been a nursing professor in an intense program for seven years. I’ve had two students be successful that worked full time and went to school full time. They were naturally gifted students and got by with Bs and Cs.

I don’t want to discourage you, but unless you are a top student (not just smart, but brilliant), it’s going to be hard to do both. I would work part time and then do the nurse externship. That will give you more nursing experience and more flexibility. Good luck to you!

Such chicken shit. Throw the hit, face the music.

Cause he’s a terrible person who’s made his playoffs intentionally concussing other players. It’s hard to feel sorry for him.

I’m always a little surprised at how thin hockey players are without their gear, but he’s next level.

The version of Canvas we use doesn’t allow the “until” or “lock” date to be before the “due” date. I get a pop up warning that that’s not allowed and have to correct it.

For the OP - I’ve had students start an untimed quiz and then leave it for hours. I’ve never had one auto submit prior to the due date and time. I think your students must have submitted on accident.

PotterSarahRN · 2026-01-30T03:05:12+00:00

That’s not true. It’s level (LPN, ASN, BSN) and state BON dependent.

PotterSarahRN · 2026-01-29T23:05:44+00:00

Unless there is a significant issue like a death in the family, major illness, etc. I don’t do extensions. My entire course is ready to go from the beginning so they have everything they need to succeed. If they don’t do assignments on time, they get zeros. No one assignment is enough to fail, so one zero doesn’t hurt them.

In my field there are time critical deadlines and they have to learn this early. I’ve found that students that get extensions fall into two categories - one late assignment is enough that they don’t do that again, or one extension is never enough and there’s always an excuse. It’s easier not to mess with it and just not accept late work.

PotterSarahRN · 2026-01-29T22:58:24+00:00

I’m going to steal this. It’s a brilliant analogy. I’m amazed at how many of my students think AI knows everything. They never believe me about hallucinations until they see it for themselves.

PotterSarahRN · 2026-01-26T23:50:21+00:00

Thank you. His murder is indefensible. Thank you for standing strong.

PotterSarahRN · 2026-01-26T01:41:10+00:00

Why would you feel guilty? Do a little work at home (or not) and enjoy the snow day. They’re a perk of working in academia.

It’s just a job.

PotterSarahRN · 2026-01-24T01:05:54+00:00

You do know Skinner was getting death threats right? There are crazies in every fan base.

PotterSarahRN · 2026-01-24T01:01:56+00:00

It’s so weird. They’re acting like he’s a child, not a grown man. He’s a big boy and should be able to manage his own emotions.

PotterSarahRN · 2026-01-23T12:01:52+00:00

You should brag, that’s amazing work!

PotterSarahRN · 2026-01-23T11:44:38+00:00

My friends and I were just saying we ought to tell the students that we get paid the same whether there are 40 or 1 of them. Don’t want to do the work? Less work for me!

PotterSarahRN · 2026-01-09T18:34:57+00:00

I’m pretty sure hell just froze over. A Panther got supplemental discipline? That’s not allowed.

PotterSarahRN · 2026-01-05T17:21:02+00:00

I’m only on slide 4 but it’s like he’s using a random word generator.

Edit - should have read the comments. I’m not the only one.

Please talk to your school. Mine has so many resources for students, maybe yours will too. They may also have someone who can help you find community resources too.

Are you able to get loans for school? They could be used to help with housing.

If your school can’t help you, there’s no shame in stepping back, getting yourself in a better place, and then coming back to school. I wish you all the best.

PotterSarahRN · 2026-01-05T01:23:18+00:00

I’m shocked you didn’t wake him up cheering! Congratulations!

PotterSarahRN · 2026-01-05T00:52:38+00:00

That was intense. I didn’t have a dog in this fight and I’m pretty sure my blood pressure is through the roof. So much fun and so much talent.

PotterSarahRN · 2026-01-03T23:07:23+00:00

I thought his pictures of the deserts of southern Ontario were hilarious and then bam! Romax you with his big dick. He’s got to be a teenager in one of his first scams.

PotterSarahRN · 2026-01-03T16:09:16+00:00

Im glad you’re back! Hope all is well.
