  1. Ridiculous, overbearing restrictions on volunteers

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

    Hmmm...I'm not sure that you understand what nurses are required to know before they're allowed to give meds. Before I give any drug, I'm required to know, the name of the drug, how it works ( ie what...

  2. Moral/Ethical Advice

    CuriousMe replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    :up::up::up: exactly! it's hard to conceive why this is such a difficult point for folks to

  3. Moral/Ethical Advice

    CuriousMe replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    Just what I thought, some things never

  4. Moral/Ethical Advice

    CuriousMe replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    So you "pick your battles" based on how it would benefit someone else? What other criteria would you use to "pick your battles?" If I misunderstood, please enlighten us... It's pretty clear cut to...

  5. Moral/Ethical Advice

    CuriousMe replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    I guess that's the difference, I don't pick and chose depending on how it might benefit me. I just do the right thing. To each their

  6. Moral/Ethical Advice

    CuriousMe replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    So, just to be sure I have this right.....folks are only supposed to do the right thing, if the other person will be punished? If we're not sure they'll be punished, then we can take the easy way...

  7. Moral/Ethical Advice

    CuriousMe replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    The reason it will bother her, is likely because she knows what the right thing to do is. It's not her responsibility to "get the lady kicked out." It's her responsibility to do the right thing and...

  8. Moral/Ethical Advice

    CuriousMe replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    ParkerBeanCurd (just two posts above yours) details out what can be done quite well. It's not the OP's job to prove anything, it's the OP's responsibility to report what she knows. After that it's...

  9. Moral/Ethical Advice

    CuriousMe replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    It's so sad how many folks on this board choose to take the easy way, instead of doing the right

  10. Should I do the Honors Option in my nursing program???

    CuriousMe replied to wilso114's topic in General Students

    Graduating with honors and graduating with honors from an honors programs are completely different things. Anyone who you are trying to impress with your honors work (grad school admissions, etc)...

  11. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    CuriousMe replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    There's no conversation here because there is no looking at other perspectives. All of your posts have essentially stated that all nursing programs across the country are exactly like the ones in your...

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

    CuriousMe replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    We do all learn differently. I dislike when Prof's try and get creative with presenting information. I don't want to play games, join small discussion groups and emote about the topic, or...

  13. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    CuriousMe replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Are you stating that it's a fact that EVERY bachelors program in the country is four years long (assuming that it's a full time program with no interruptions)? (you may want to consider your answer...

  14. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    CuriousMe replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    This also depends on the program (sensing a theme here yet??) In my area the ADN programs tend to be more competitive than the BS programs. You need at least a 3.7 to get in to most BS programs, but...

  15. Moral/Ethical Advice

    CuriousMe replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    Wow! How would reporting exactly what happened be ethically wrong? I don't think I've ever read a more ridiculous statement. If someone tells you that they robbed a bank, is it ethically wrong to...

  16. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    CuriousMe replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Wow, you really do think that since your local programs operate a specific way, all programs nationwide must operate the same way. You should look at a few more programs before making such unilateral...

  17. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    CuriousMe replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm sure that all my former classmates will appreciate your generosity considering their three year ADN's. When did I ever say someone could complete an ADN in two years? In post number 104 you...

  18. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    CuriousMe replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Again, that would depend on the

  19. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    CuriousMe replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You spoke to EVERYONE who that attends your local CC? Wow you have been busy. Maybe at YOUR local CC, it's impossible to complete and ADN in three years. I don't think that's the norm. I chose a BS...

  20. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    CuriousMe replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Most of the students I did my pre-reqs with at a CC completed their ADN in three years. We went through our prereqs together, and started our programs at the same time. I chose to get my BS. They...

  21. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    CuriousMe replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm not implying anything. I'm saying that the programs in my state are designed to be completed in three years. Maybe the programs in your area aren't designed to be completed in three years. But...

  22. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    CuriousMe replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    There is more than one semester difference between a person who has no college trying to get an associates or a bachelors degree. I'm not sure why you keep saying this. A bachelor's degree requires...

  23. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    CuriousMe replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Where did my comment say that someone got their RN in two years flat? I said the BSN is one to two years more of schoolwork than and ADN

  24. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    CuriousMe replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You quoted my two comments. I never said that the Accelerated program wasn't

  25. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    CuriousMe replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It's more like 3 (one year for prereqs and two years of the program). There's at least one year difference of coursework between the two degrees. For many programs there are two year's difference in...
