  1. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

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

    I'm not sure who was trying to dispute that an accelerated BS program is quicker than an ADN program. That's just a given

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

    CuriousMe replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    That is my least favorite lecture style. I'm so freaked out about getting everything down, that I can't pay attention nearly as well. I MUCH prefer a

  3. Moral/Ethical Advice

    CuriousMe replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    What does your school's honor code/code of conduct require of you? Mine says that if I know someone is cheating and don't report it, then I'm guilty of cheating as well. We're all adults, there's no...

  4. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

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

    Sorry, I don't think I understand what you're trying to get across. There are plenty of folks in my program (a very competative 3 year BS program) who have bachelor degrees in other areas, a couple...

  5. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

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

    The year of prereqs I did were what I needed for either my AS or my BS. The BS program I was hoping to gain entrance to (and did) was a three year program....so, same pre-reqs as the ADN programs...

  6. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

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

    So for your program it's impossible for anyone to finish pre-reqs in one academic year? It wasn't for my program. It was challening, but not impossible. Except for the fact that a BSN requires more...

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

    CuriousMe replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    All my Prof's use PowerPoint, but they don't read the slides to us. The PowerPoints are outlines of the lecture, not the lecture. During the lecture they really expound on the PowerPoints. We also...

  8. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

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

    I took my pre-reqs in one year. I had a full course load during the academic year, but didn't need to take pre-reqs over the

  9. who is better trained(clincals) adn or bsn

    CuriousMe replied to mee9mee9's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It depends on the program. My BS program is a three year program, so we have three years of clinicals. I've forgotten the exact number, but we have in excess of 1,500 clinical hours. I've received...

  10. pathophysiology of Prostate cancer concept map please ;)

    CuriousMe replied to luvspuff13's topic in General Students

    A good start would be for you to post what you know already. I suspect you'll get more folks willing to help, if you start with what you

  11. Facebook or Blackboard

    CuriousMe replied to elizhealy's topic in General Students

    Does your school give each student an e-mail

  12. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

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

    More and more states are moving away from the model where you can get your LPN during your RN education. So, that may work in your state, but is not

  13. Calling all 2011 graduating class

    CuriousMe replied to Unique87's topic in General Students

    I graduate this summer, and just found out that I got my IP placement (6 months of 25 - 30 hours a week, one-one-one with one RN) in the ICU! I'm really

  14. nursing pins - yay or nay?

    CuriousMe replied to turnforthenurse's topic in General Students

    I graduate in June, and I'll definitely be getting a pin. Like another poster mentioned, I earned

  15. % of people failing your program?

    CuriousMe replied to woahmelly's topic in General Students

    We lost one out of 54 our first

  16. Degree in the arts vs. degree in nursing

    CuriousMe replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Students

    I think my BSN classes (public health, leadership, more research requirements) really have added to my skillset. Public health gave me a much broader perspective about the many systems our patients...

  17. I go to ITT-Tech...

    CuriousMe replied to TeamSteven01's topic in School, College Programs

    I never said they mentioned ITT Tech, I said: Law suit after law suit shows the predatory behavior of these kinds of schools. Below is a link to yet another article in the NY Times about this issue....

  18. Nursing Made Incredibly Easy books...

    CuriousMe replied to my3suns's topic in General Students

    I confess, and I'm obviously not in the majority here, but I don't find them useful at all. To me, it seems that they make the concepts so incredibly easy....that it's worthless. They simply the...

  19. Is this cheating?

    CuriousMe replied to BluegrassRN's topic in General Students

    It may be a legal term, but we're not speaking about the law and as such not looking for the legal definition. (Here's a link to an article that speaks about the difference between another legal and...

  20. Is this cheating?

    CuriousMe replied to BluegrassRN's topic in General Students

    Again, whether students are allowed to cite themselves depends on their school's policy. In my school, we are not allowed to use our previous work cited or

  21. Is this cheating?

    CuriousMe replied to BluegrassRN's topic in General Students

    Yes, some critical thinking please. I have, of my own volition signed up for a course of study. The school I attend has created this course of study. They outline what is required and acceptable...

  22. Is this cheating?

    CuriousMe replied to BluegrassRN's topic in General Students

    Since the issue is clearly defined in our Student Handbook, and each assignment states that it must comply with the academic honesty section of the student handbook.....I don't think a lawyer would...

  23. Flu shot issue

    CuriousMe replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I hear there's a sale on tin foil at Walmart this

  24. Is this cheating?

    CuriousMe replied to BluegrassRN's topic in General Students

    There's no such thing as self-plagiarism according to whom? To you? It exists according to my professors, and since they'll be grading my work and not you....I think I'll stick with their...

  25. Opinions on 2 majors & a minor vs. BSN

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

    What is it that you want to do in the future? How would this extra degree help accomplish
