  1. Moral/Ethical Advice

    CuriousMe replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    As the OP has no "proof" there's no way that she'll need to testify (there's nothing to testify to)....secondly, court?? Do you think the cheating student is going to take the OP to

  2. Moral/Ethical Advice

    CuriousMe replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    What does the OP need to "prove?" Her responsibility is to report the information she was told, not to investigate what she was told....that's faculty's

  3. Moral/Ethical Advice

    CuriousMe replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    It's not a strawman argument. What has been said over and over throughout the thread is that since the OP doesn't have "Proof" that the other student was cheating they won't get punished....so the OP...

  4. Moral/Ethical Advice

    CuriousMe replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    I don't need proof because I'm not trying to prove anything. It's not my job to prosecute, it's my job to report what I know. After I do my part, the faculty decide what they need to do. I would...

  5. Expired Epinephrine?

    CuriousMe replied to Factory Ten's topic in General Nursing

    Found this at : http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/559512 Specific to your question, there is a warning note in Remington's to "not to use any epinephrine dosage form if it is brown or pink in color...

  6. asking for meds?

    CuriousMe replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    Please point out the post where I said anything contrary to that article. No where in that article did it say RN's should automatically bring PRN pain meds Q4

  8. asking for meds?

    CuriousMe replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    It will be interesting to see the OP's change of perspective after some

  9. Moral/Ethical Advice

    CuriousMe replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    As I said earlier in the thread, moral relativity

  10. Moral/Ethical Advice

    CuriousMe replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    The result isn't punishment for the student involved....you have no say about that, it can not be a "result" of your action. The result of reporting cheating is that you did the right thing. The...

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

    CuriousMe replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    As there's no objective measure on "well done." What you consider to be a "well done" presentation, may still leave me cold (and finding the information I need in other places). We do plenty of case...

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

    CuriousMe replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    Of course being read to is a poor substitute for a Prof giving a lecture and I don't think anyone in this thread is saying that is what should happen. I think Streamline is more speaking about all...

    CuriousMe replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    Hallelujah and AMEN!! Thank you for your

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

    CuriousMe replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    My apologies, the carnival comment wasn't meant to be disrespectful....but more one of frustration. I completely understand that Prof's are trying to do their best. Sometimes it really feels like...

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

    CuriousMe replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    You may be speaking but guiding and moderating aren't providing content. I don't want to have to wait for the class to get around to the point through a guided discussion. I'm not paying to listen...

  16. Does it matter what nursing school you went to?

    CuriousMe replied to Unique87's topic in General Students

    I don't know that ranking necessarily matters (although it can't hurt of course), and I don't know squat about the program you mentioned....but all you need to do is read a bit on AN and you'll...

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

    CuriousMe replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    I'm a very active and participative learner. I do all my reading before coming to class (and take notes on my reading), often finding other sources so that I can delve further. In fact in my...

  18. Ridiculous, overbearing restrictions on volunteers

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

    The problem is that the OP wants more responsibility, with no training and doesn't even know enough to understand why that can't

  19. Student caught stealing....

    CuriousMe replied to RaggedyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Forgiving someone doesn't mean that they don't have to face the consequences of their action. Reporting the theft to the police, and me personally forgiving the individual are completely different...

  20. Moral/Ethical Advice

    CuriousMe replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    No, I'm saying I don't "pick my battles" by judging the outcome. If I know about cheating I report it. That is my responsibility (not to prove a student did anything, not to judge and sentence a...

  21. Nurse with Body Odor

    CuriousMe replied to prettyinblu's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I just quietly told them that that their deodorant wasn't working anymore. I'm not sure their exact response, because it was not a huge deal, but they were happy to know and dealt with the...

  22. Nurse with Body Odor

    CuriousMe replied to prettyinblu's topic in General Nursing

    I am putting myself in the other person's position. It would be far more awkward to think that my coworker was lying to me. If a coworker, privately, and in a matter of fact way let me know that BO...

  23. Nurse with Body Odor

    CuriousMe replied to prettyinblu's topic in General Nursing

    Jeez! I thought nurses were the health care professionals with communication skills. Just tell them. Don't create a scenario, don't drop hints, don't tell them a story about someone else, don't tap...

  24. Nurse with Body Odor

    CuriousMe replied to prettyinblu's topic in General Nursing

    Direct doesn't mean harsh though. They are very different concepts. Directness is a kindness, being harsh is

  25. asking for meds?

    CuriousMe replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    It's entirely possible that you received a prescription for home that said that. However, the orders that the docs write in the hospital aren't written that way. There are Scheduled Meds (ie take...
