  1. What would you like more training on?

    CuriousMe replied to HayleyHunter's topic in General Students

  2. Prove my Mom wrong, please

    CuriousMe replied to NurseBanana's topic in General Nursing

    Truly, it doesn't matter if others have done this and succeeded. Really it comes down to....Do YOU want to be pregnant while in nursing

  3. Has anyone ever put down your career choice?

    CuriousMe replied to Servingshots's topic in General Students

    A person who puts down any career choice is saying far more about themselves than they are about the career

  4. What would you like more training on?

    CuriousMe replied to HayleyHunter's topic in General Students

    The standard full shift in local hospitals are 12 hours. I'm all for more clinicals....but with 36 hours of clinicals a week, when on earth would you study? For our last six months we do 24 - 30 hours...

  5. Understanding Pathophysiology by Heuther, 4th edition... Any help??

    CuriousMe replied to brbowen9's topic in General Students

    I didn't use very much....pretty much just used it for the extra test questions for each

  6. Understanding Pathophysiology by Heuther, 4th edition... Any help??

    CuriousMe replied to brbowen9's topic in General Students

    We used that book....I LOVED IT! I do have the workbook/study guide that goes with it, but I've never seen "study notes" for the

  7. This is why you should be careful what you post on facebook

    CuriousMe replied to semester1kid's topic in General Students

    I understood what she meant. But from the article, all 4 students were strong students before this incident....if they're suddenly graded harder, it will be pretty easy, in a court of law, to show...

  8. Will you delete your Facebook account of you get into nursing school?

    CuriousMe replied to RscodADN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Please enlighten us on "the ways around the privacy settings." Without substantiation of that statement, it's equivalent to being scared of the boogeyman in the closet. Could someone break in and...

  9. Will you delete your Facebook account of you get into nursing school?

    CuriousMe replied to RscodADN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your post is difficult to understand. Are you concerned about what a Facebook friend would post on your wall? If so, don't be. I can delete any content from my Wall, no matter who posts it

  10. Will you share your favorite Pharmacology formulas with me?

    CuriousMe replied to VioletKaliLPN's topic in General Students

    sorry, i've been busy and didn't see the replies. d/a is pretty simple, the only way to get more comfortable with it, is to do it over and over again. for me, math is not like a history or biology...

  11. Trying to get a second chance at nursing school

    CuriousMe replied to aflac381's topic in General Students

    Working hard doesn't automatically mean you will succeed in class....I know my syllabi don't have a grading entry for "works hard." I agree with roser13, look at what happened and figure out what YOU...

  12. Trying to get a second chance at nursing school

    CuriousMe replied to aflac381's topic in General Students

    That depends on the individual program, not the educational level. My BS program has far more clinical hours than most ADN

  13. ADN or BSN?

    CuriousMe replied to YSL-444's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'd speak with the nursing recruiter at your local hospitals and find out what they're looking for in new grad hires. The national trend won't necessarily impact you. It doesn't matter if they're...

  14. New nurse grad. programs

    CuriousMe replied to OBplease's topic in General Nursing

    In most of the programs I've seen, they post new grad positions just before their residency program starts. Any new grads who are hired, are automatically enrolled in the residency program (although...

  15. having a boyfriend vs. nursing studies

    CuriousMe replied to TamTam23's topic in General Nursing

    That's a lovely Ozzie & Harriet kind of thought....and it worked well when gender roles were well defined....the husband went out in to the world to earn a living while the wife stayed home and...

  16. This is why you should be careful what you post on facebook

    CuriousMe replied to semester1kid's topic in General Students

    Actually, if they're smart, the school of nursing will be very careful with these four students. The students have demonstrated that they will go to court to fight for their rights....without a lot...

  17. This is why you should be careful what you post on facebook

    CuriousMe replied to semester1kid's topic in General Students

    HR or anyone who wants to can search for me on Facebook, they won't be able to see anything except my name and a thumbnail version of my profile picture. This is because there are PRIVACY SETTINGS ON...

  18. IV push administration

    CuriousMe replied to Gottago's topic in General Students

    We're allowed to give IV Push meds from the first year on. First year, all meds need to be given with clinical Prof or RN next to you, by second year, students can give meds independently, with the...

  19. How do I read a nursing textbook?

    CuriousMe replied to SockMonkey.ecb's topic in General Students

    my program also assumes that students will read any and all assignments. anything in the assigned chapters is fair game from the day assigned to the end of the program. the chances of someone doing...

  20. Will you share your favorite Pharmacology formulas with me?

    CuriousMe replied to VioletKaliLPN's topic in General Students

    I use one "formula" for any problem by only using dimensional analysis. This way I never have to memorize a

  21. Not being able to understand...

    CuriousMe replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Students

    What you said in your OP was: You made no mention of a professional diagnosis. I do hope that you are receiving professional help as you finish high

  22. Not being able to understand...

    CuriousMe replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Students

    Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant. By definition, that means it helps most people concentrate. This trait is not indicative or diagnostic of ADHD in any way shape or

  23. Is Insurance required for Nursing Schools?

    CuriousMe replied to JWnurse2b's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I don't think you can be turned down with OHSU's plan (they never even asked if we had pre-existing conditions), it's a group plan...just like you'd get with an

  24. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

    CuriousMe replied to DesertRN2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The point is about vaccination, not cold war Poland or your father's profession. The one-liners have as much to do with the point as your family history...nothing....but they're at least

  25. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

    CuriousMe replied to DesertRN2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Presentation of family credentials have even less to do with showing expertise in epidemiology! I've yet to see any profession of personal credentials....they've all been
