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

    CuriousMe replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    As most states in the country have some kind of legislation about where people can and can not smoke in public areas, I'd say that your opinion of the validity of the research on second hand smoke is...

  2. What do you get from BSN?

    CuriousMe replied to DC Collins's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    That makes more sense, I think that US programs strive to educate nurses to be generalists....so, there are not majors other than

  3. What do you get from BSN?

    CuriousMe replied to DC Collins's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Interesting, is this program in the

  4. Would you marry a Doctor?

    CuriousMe replied to fleurafor's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You seem very young, it would be interesting to hear your perspective in 10

  5. Another nurse bites the dust due to facebook

    CuriousMe replied to siringe's topic in Nursing News

    Why do folks keep saying that the "internet is not private?" Of course the internet isn't private, but we're not talking about posting this on an open website somewhere...we're talking about posting...

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

    CuriousMe replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    Actually, most posts haven't spoken about the "example" set by health care providers....they're talking about smokers taking breaks to go and smoke, then coming back smelling like smoke. You still...

  7. What do you get from BSN?

    CuriousMe replied to DC Collins's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    As I said, I go to a standard BSN program. I have no other degrees. The point of my post is that the traditional BSN student may not be of traditional college student

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

    CuriousMe replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    I don't understand the either/or situation that you're putting forth. No, I don't want my nurse to be hung over or high or anything else on your list. Those are actionable behaviors that will get...

  9. What do you get from BSN?

    CuriousMe replied to DC Collins's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I hadn't thought of it this way (there are no choices in nursing credits, for the most part, each course is offered once a year), so just counting the credits in my head....126 nursing

  10. What do you get from BSN?

    CuriousMe replied to DC Collins's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Our BS program starts the beginning of Sophomore year...basically, students need to know as they start their Freshman courses that they want to be in the nursing program...there's no way to finish the...

  11. What do you get from BSN?

    CuriousMe replied to DC Collins's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Hmm...isn't your major nursing? How are you doing clinicals if you haven't declared nursing as your

  12. Would you marry a Doctor?

    CuriousMe replied to fleurafor's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There's also the family life aspect...when nurses are done with work and go home...they're done with work. This isn't true for

  13. What do you get from BSN?

    CuriousMe replied to DC Collins's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    These are differences that vary from region to region. For example, my BSN program has an additional year of clinicals (3 years of clinicals) and it's preceptorship is twice as long when comparing...

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

    CuriousMe replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    You're operating with the same misinformation that many smokers are. It's not about the aroma....it's about the chemicals that cause the aroma. Because of that, it's not about not enjoying the...

  15. What do you get from BSN?

    CuriousMe replied to DC Collins's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Where did/do you go to school? I'm in a BSN program and I'd say that less then 10% of our class are traditional college age students. I'd say 20% of the class already has a Bachelors degree in...

  16. ADD meds while on diversion?

    CuriousMe replied to jnks's topic in Nurses Recovery

    They can stop you from using your ADD meds? That doesn't sound legal....wouldn't it violate the

  17. What do you get from BSN?

    CuriousMe replied to DC Collins's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    LOL Thanks, I need to share that with friends....something is very wrong if I'm the "less blunt" version of a

  18. What do you get from BSN?

    CuriousMe replied to DC Collins's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    From conversations with friends, I'd say that the experience of doing a BSN program from the start, is a very different experience from getting and ADN, and then doing an RN-BSN program. So, folks who...

  19. Ridiculous, overbearing restrictions on volunteers

    CuriousMe replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your posts continue to display a lack of understanding. To me, it seems to be the most dangerous kind of ignorance.....you don't know, what you don't know, and you're not willing to listen to those...

  20. Finally understand the Facebook no-no's

    CuriousMe replied to raebabelvn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm not sure where the FB generation gap would be. I'm in my 40's and have 500+ FB friends.....most who are my age or older. Oh, if there's a pattern of me feeling the need to hide a friend's...

  21. May 2011 graduates..nervous for last semester?

    CuriousMe replied to gaspasser2b's topic in General Students

    In my program, our preceptorship is the last two terms of our program (so, 25 - 30 hours a week from Jan 3 until June). We work one-on-one with an assigned RN. We were asked what our top three...

  22. Rolling backpack?

    CuriousMe replied to newstudent2010's topic in General Students

    I have a rolling backpack that I never use. I found that I hurt my back more with the rolling backpack, due to having to haul the thing up & down stairs. I prefer my good quality backpack with...

  23. Finally understand the Facebook no-no's

    CuriousMe replied to raebabelvn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The only people who can see what I post on Facebook, are my friends on Facebook. I know all my friends (they're not aliases or anything like that....they are friends, that I know). Some may choose to...

  24. Annoyed by nursing commerical they keep running

    CuriousMe replied to Missy77's topic in General Students

    The truth is that the numbers tell us that we will have a huge nursing shortage. That is a national problem. So short term, it's tough for new grads to get jobs right away.....but long term, we're...

  25. May 2011 graduates..nervous for last semester?

    CuriousMe replied to gaspasser2b's topic in General Students

    We have two quarters left of my 3 year BS program, and it's predominantly a 500 - 600 hour (20 weeks, at 25 - 30 hours a week) preceptorship. I'm totally stoked that I was placed in the ICU :-) We...
