  1. Been asked to help in an emergency because you are a nursing student?

    CuriousMe replied to all4ofus's topic in General Students

    You're a nursing student, not a first responder with a fully stocked ambulance. It's a different skill set. As others have said, calling 911 was the right

  2. Nursing diagnosis: breathing

    CuriousMe replied to xxiangel's topic in General Students

    In your second one, it looks like all your RT's are actually AEB. None of them explain why...they're your evidence that it's

  3. How do you Tackle Chapter Reading Assignments and Make them Stick?

    CuriousMe replied to live&love&heal's topic in General Students

    I think this depends on the instructor. We were tested on our book's level of

  4. Irritating Classmates

    CuriousMe replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    Well yeah, except for that whole online aspect. I'll gladly tolerate irritating classmates, in order to benefit from amazing lecturers and easy face-to-face access with my

  5. Irritating Classmates

    CuriousMe replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    It's unlikely that everyone is irritating except the people in this thread...what's more likely is that everyone is irritating to someone else.....and doesn't realize it. As nursing students we spend...

  6. Adderall and nursing school

    CuriousMe replied to struggles's topic in General Students

    Be upfront with it with the school if you're comfortable...sure, once you're accepted. I would feel uncomfortable disclosing a disability in the admissions process though. There's still a lot of...

  7. ADD in Nursing

    CuriousMe replied to Ftoll24's topic in General Students

    The disability office is legally bound to not share any information with you with admissions, or faculty or anyone for that matter. The school is legally obligated to allow for accommodations for...

  8. Does anyone take adderall????

    CuriousMe replied to KrisRNwannabe's topic in General Students

    I've seen people say this before. It makes no sense to me....we're not talking about the Easter Bunny here. We're talking about a diagnosis. Are you saying that you don't believe that the folks who...

  9. Smokers in Nursing School--How Are You Treated?

    CuriousMe replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    If I can physically distance myself from a person who smells of smoke (they don't need to reek of it, smelling like it is bad enough), then I don't say anything. I only say something if due to...

  10. ADD in Nursing

    CuriousMe replied to Ftoll24's topic in General Students

    The specific process is different from state to state, but an exam is generally only considered failed, if there's a positive screen without a prescription. Some states, they ask just before you give...

  11. Looking to enroll in nursing...couple of questions.

    CuriousMe replied to CRIS_108's topic in General Students

    There are no specific concentrations for a BSN in the US. A BSN, is a BSN. As far as where you should go to school....really the best folks to speak with are the different schools you're looking at....

  12. Can someone explain how a study group is at all effective?

    CuriousMe replied to bhanson's topic in General Students

    To each their own....you can be annoyed if you choose to be. Strongly encouraging isn't mandating....and nothing guarantee's an

  13. Can someone explain how a study group is at all effective?

    CuriousMe replied to bhanson's topic in General Students

    It seems to me that the instructors aren't stating this as Gospel, but more letting everyone know the trend they've seen over the years. There will always be exceptions on both sides. If you're doing...

  14. Do you think it's right for nurses that are going to school do their homework at work

    CuriousMe replied to tobesmartt's topic in General Nursing

    If the unit expectation is for the RN to do all the work on the unit usually covered by other positions, merely to keep busy...then I'd agree with you. However, if that isn't the expectation on the...

  15. Fundamentals of Nursing

    CuriousMe replied to EVLGNUS's topic in General Students

    Common sense for someone who isn't a nurse may not take in to consideration something a nurse would know. I can't think of a nursing example off the top of my head....but another example would be...if...

  16. Fundamentals of Nursing

    CuriousMe replied to EVLGNUS's topic in General Students

    This is a very common reaction to tests in nursing school. Focus on the rationale for the right answer when looking at the questions you got wrong. You may assume you're answering in a "common...

  17. Visitors chasing you down the hallway....

    CuriousMe replied to KSU-SN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just a student....so take my comments with a grain of salt.....but has anyone tried asking them to use the call light? So, say I was pulling meds for my patient and another patient's visitor came...

  18. 2015 DNP

    CuriousMe replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    It is in one focused area. Some common ones are Family Nurse Practitioner (primary care), Adult Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Midwife, or a Certified Registered...

  19. 2015 DNP

    CuriousMe replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    This thread isn't about nurses entering in to RN practice. It's about becoming an advanced practitioner (nurse practitioner, nurse midwife, certified registered nurse anesthetist, etc) which requires...

  20. not working for a year to get BSN

    CuriousMe replied to nursinghopeful1111's topic in General Nursing

    Since you're interested in a specific residency program, I'd call and ask them this question specifically. Most of the residency programs I'm looking at are basing eligibility from the time you take...

  21. Study methods

    CuriousMe replied to zhockeymom77's topic in General Students

    I don't think there is one method. Different colors signify different things for everyone. I know of folks who make the patho of a disease one color, complications to watch for another color,...

  22. Does this math make sense to you?

    CuriousMe replied to CBsMommy's topic in General Students

    I see what you mean. This happens when you need to get rid of both the top and the bottom of the first equivalency ( in this case we're converting the units of both mg and mL). Although of course...

  23. Do you think it's right for nurses that are going to school do their homework at work

    CuriousMe replied to tobesmartt's topic in General Nursing

    depends on where you work. while doing my pre-reqs i worked nights at an adult foster home. once everyone was in bed for the evening, as long as i had my work done (laundry, dishes, etc) i was...

  24. Help solving math problem

    CuriousMe replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Students

    Wow, I didn't see that any of the responses were "eating their young." It's not helpful to just do work for someone....responders just asked for the OP to explain their thought process so that folks...

  25. Does this math make sense to you?

    CuriousMe replied to CBsMommy's topic in General Students

    Where are you getting hung
