  1. NOT going to the pinning ceremony

    CuriousMe replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Students

    Wouldn't you be walking across the stage with the same folks who you are getting pinned

  2. Class President Problems

    CuriousMe replied to btjaj89's topic in General Students

    It's pretty simple. We automatically enroll all first year students and ask for volunteers from the upperclassmen. Once we have enough upperclassmen, we just match folks up. We do tell...

  3. test question!

    CuriousMe replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

  4. Southern Oregon nursing program questions

    CuriousMe replied to Lilsweetpea's topic in Oregon Nursing

    OHSU actually has more clinical time than RCC....it's just spread out in multiple areas, instead of only being in the hospital. It evens out a bit though because OHSU gets two terms of Integrative...

  6. Irritating Classmates

    CuriousMe replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    LOL I have no superhuman powers, it's just a choice. Everyone has behaviors that are annoying to somebody, we get over it...we move on. Life is

    CuriousMe replied to mangopeach's topic in General Students

    That was agreement....hence the

  8. Dealing with the emotions

    CuriousMe replied to mangopeach's topic in General Students

    Exactly, you don't deal well with folks who have a different outlook than you. I'd venture a guess that they couldn't care less what your expectations are of them. Good thing your opinion isn't a...

  9. Irritating Classmates

    CuriousMe replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    Good to know it's just them "talking about other people." Pot,

  10. I'm always nervous talking with people who's in high position. Help!

    CuriousMe replied to Datu's topic in General Students

    Think of it this way, what's the worst thing that can happen? They find out there's something you don't know? A) You're a student...you're not supposed to know everything. B) No one knows...

  11. Irritating Classmates

    CuriousMe replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    The hubris in this thread is really amusing. Everyone's so sure that it's those other students who are so annoying....not anyone who is complaining in this thread of course. The truth is likely that...

  12. Dealing with the emotions

    CuriousMe replied to mangopeach's topic in General Students

    That's a good thing, it shows that they are being dismissed on merit....and not based on personalities you (self-admittedly) don't deal with

  13. Dealing with the emotions

    CuriousMe replied to mangopeach's topic in General Students

    It's not a bad thought to have....keeps you honest! But I wouldn't stay there

  14. test question!

    CuriousMe replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    My first thought: is the patient is bleeding out? Of the choices listed I'd take vitals (ie, do they have a perfusing BP?) One day post-op....I wouldn't take the bandage off to assess the wound...if...

  15. For BSN Students - What is your time commitment?

    CuriousMe replied to imapsychrn's topic in General Students

    During first year, we're in the classroom 2 days a week for 6-7 hours. Lab for one day, clinical for one day and Sim lab for one day. In second year, it's only 2 days a week for 4 hours in classroom,...

  16. Study Guides & GPA's-Do you get any Guides in Nursing Program?

    CuriousMe replied to proudmommy's topic in General Students

    No study guides....someone asked for one during first year and was told that to the best of their knowledge, there wasn't one for the NCLEX, so there wouldn't be one for nursing school

  17. Checked out some programs while visiting...

    CuriousMe replied to christinamuniz's topic in Oregon Nursing

    That sounds less like an articulation agreement and more that, if ITT gets accredited and meets Linfield's standards, they'll accept students who graduate from ITT in to their RN-BS program, just as...

  18. UGHHHH dosage

    CuriousMe replied to MsGreenBeauty's topic in General Students

    Is that the answer you're getting, or the answer you think you should be

    What answer are you getting and what answer do you think you should be

  20. ICU visiting hours.. What is reasonable?

    CuriousMe replied to TigerGalLE's topic in MICU, SICU

    We don't have visiting hours as much as we have hours that visitors aren't allowed. The ICU is closed to visitors 0600 - 0830 and 1800 - 2030 for shift change, it's also closed to visitors for MD...

  21. Do You Regret Nursing School?

    CuriousMe replied to ladylou88's topic in General Students

    Could the pattern you've noticed also be attributed to folks who love nursing pursing further education and leadership roles in

  22. Blood pressure drops upon standing?

    CuriousMe replied to bewitched's topic in General Students

    The question didn't say that the blood pressure dropped and then readjusted after standing....it said it dropped upon standing. Assuming that it then adjusted is reading in to the question....these...

  23. Irritating Classmates

    CuriousMe replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    Evidently it's harder for some than others. Personally....it's not that hard, sorry you find it so. There are actual problems in the world....this isn't one for me, looks like it is for

  24. Irritating Classmates

    CuriousMe replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    I've taken and even taught online classes. I know of what I speak. I'm glad it works for you. Because it's a complete mismatch to my learning style doesn't mean I don't know what I'm speaking...

  25. do your teachers make u sign in for class?

    CuriousMe replied to Pneumothorax's topic in General Students

    I hate this method... predominantly because in every class I've had that used it, the assignments were pure busy work (ie write a summary of something we read....give me a break, my reading...
