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

    CuriousMe replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    By that theory, did they offer alcohol to the alcoholics? Heroin to the heroin addicts? I mean, it's an addiction....why subject a patient to severe frustration, anxiety, agitation, forced medication...

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

    CuriousMe replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    That's great....what about a health care professional who engages in behavior that can negatively impact a patient? Because that's what we're talking about. A health care professional who smells of...

  3. Why Do Nursing Instructors Rely So Heavily On PowerPoints To Teach?

    CuriousMe replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    I've never pretended that I'm an educator....what I am though is a student. I have a lot of experience being a student, I've done it for years. I'm proactive in my learning, and know how I learn...

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

    CuriousMe replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    These changes still wouldn't provide a place for you or staff to light up. When I go to the hospital for an asthma flare-up, my lungs don't only react to smoke from staff members....they react to...

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

    CuriousMe replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    I am so relieved that hospitals have started requiring smoking staff members to smoke off-campus only. I'm even more grateful for the hospitals that require their employees to not smoke at all. I...

  6. Nursing to the Deaf?

    CuriousMe replied to K3ndraR's topic in General Nursing

    ASL isn't a mode of communication, it's a language with it's own grammar, syntax and vocabulary. I have friends who majored in Spanish, because they wanted to mix their two interests....I don't see...

  7. Finally understand the Facebook no-no's

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

    If she has her privacy settings locked down, and is selective with who she "friends" then unless she's posting her social security account number....she's probably fine with sharing details of her...

  8. Nursing to the Deaf?

    CuriousMe replied to K3ndraR's topic in General Nursing

    The two previous posts make a lot of sense as DC and Rochester are the home to the two largest deaf universities: Gaulludet and

  9. Finally understand the Facebook no-no's

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

    What evidence do you have to support this? How private do you think it is? What kind of information do you intend to put on Facebook? I'm in a career change from technology to nursing. A trend I've...

  10. Nursing to the Deaf?

    CuriousMe replied to K3ndraR's topic in General Nursing

    There are often large deaf communities in towns that have residential deaf schools. That may be one thing to look

  11. Finally understand the Facebook no-no's

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

    I check internet sites for my name about once a month. I've never seen any information that I didn't already know was there (profile page from work, other pages that I know are there). If you lock...

  12. Finally understand the Facebook no-no's

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

    I do post a status at least once a day (generally not more than twice a day). One of the real benefits of facebook for me is keeping up with loved-ones lives. I have friends and loved-ones all over...

  13. Excited for psych clinical!!

    CuriousMe replied to decembergrad2011's topic in General Students

    I completely agree....although I confess that, going in to the term, I was not excited that all we'd be allowed to do is talk for the whole term. But as the term went on, and then once we got back to...

  14. Need math help from math genius!

    CuriousMe replied to eoo7l's topic in General Students

    Ok, so let's look at this together. How many units of hemoglobin below 8 is the patient

  15. Excited for psych clinical!!

    CuriousMe replied to decembergrad2011's topic in General Students

    I had a great 10 week Psych clinical in a Psych acute care unit at one of our local hospitals. We rotated between that unit and the Psych subsection of the ED. It was a fascinating term! I don't...

  16. my first C+ :(

    CuriousMe replied to sunnyskies9's topic in General Students

    Take a day or two to be bummed out. Then start taking a good hard look at what you need to improve on. I'd also try to arrange a meeting with your Professor and ask them what they think you could...

  17. APPLICATIONS!!!!

    CuriousMe replied to LoLa.M's topic in General Students

    I'd call and ask the hospitals you're looking to apply to. I graduate in June, so am planning on taking the boards in the begining of July. I called the facilities that I was interested in and got...

  18. Moral/Ethical Advice

    CuriousMe replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    I'm trying to decide if you're just trying to be difficult, or if you really don't see a difference between, "I'll only do the right thing --as defined by my school's honor code-- if I'm not going to...

  19. Why Do Nursing Instructors Rely So Heavily On PowerPoints To Teach?

    CuriousMe replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    I do them on my own and with a study group. I agree, they're great to do with a study group.....which kind of illustrates that it's a very worthwhile activity without a Prof there

  20. Moral/Ethical Advice

    CuriousMe replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    Huh?!?! I said my I don't base moral decisions on whether I benefit from the outcome or not. That hasn't changed. I never said anything about justice...that's not my call. Again, that is faculty's...

  21. Moral/Ethical Advice

    CuriousMe replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    Not even close to "same as the OP." Surely you don't think that hearing something second-hand via an anonymous message board is of the same weight as a fellow student in your program confessing to you...

  22. Moral/Ethical Advice

    CuriousMe replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    The person in question, told the OP that she hadn't been writing her own papers. This was not an over-heard conversation or even a second-hand conversation. The gal told the OP herself. This student...

  23. is Nursing School HARDER than Medical School?

    CuriousMe replied to sunny d's topic in General Students

    If they had time, it would be unlikely that they'd come to AllNurses to share how difficult it

  24. Why Do Nursing Instructors Rely So Heavily On PowerPoints To Teach?

    CuriousMe replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    This is exactly the kind of activity I'd prefer to not waste time in class doing. I gain nothing from listening to others calling out answers....and the tests always have a rationale for why one...

  25. Why Do Nursing Instructors Rely So Heavily On PowerPoints To Teach?

    CuriousMe replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    It's a little remote control kind of device that usually has 4 buttons (A, B, C, D). The professor has a multiple choice question on a Powerpoint, and everyone answers on their clicker, the PowerPoint...
