  1. Preceptor Programs

    CuriousMe replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in General Students

    I'd still call programs directly and speak to them. I know in my program, for the last 6 months we work one-on-one with the same RN 25 - 30 hours a

  2. What's the deal with anxiety meds for students?

    CuriousMe replied to Strwbrywne's topic in General Students

    I'm not offended, I dislike folks who are already down getting picked on. I never said you made judgmental remarks....so not sure why you are offended. You're speaking about practitioners, this...

  3. What's the deal with anxiety meds for students?

    CuriousMe replied to Strwbrywne's topic in General Students

    I have fully understood your posts. My "harping" is advocating for people who have decided with their practitioner that medication is a beneficial part of their treatment plan. I never said that you...

  4. What's the deal with anxiety meds for students?

    CuriousMe replied to Strwbrywne's topic in General Students

    I understand that you are speaking as someone who struggles with this condition. So, you have a wealth of knowledge about how this condition impacts you. However, you have no more knowledge on how a...

  5. Preceptor Programs

    CuriousMe replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in General Students

    I think your best bet is to just call the admissions office and ask them how their program handles

  6. immigrant nurses

    CuriousMe replied to zeynepasli's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry, I don't really understand what you're asking. You state you're looking for "facts" about an

  7. What's the deal with anxiety meds for students?

    CuriousMe replied to Strwbrywne's topic in General Students

    I think the truth is that for many people, nursing school is the most intensive stress they've had to manage. Through the course of a nursing program, any mild mental health (or health for that...

  8. SIM lab - Do you like it?

    CuriousMe replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    I really enjoy my Sim experiences. Each Sim experience is the same patient, at three different times as they progress through the disease process. Our clinical group breaks in to teams of 2 or 3, we...

  9. The Golden Rule

    CuriousMe replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I want it straight. I don't want someone else's perception of a kinder, gentler version of the truth, I want it straight. I get very frustrated with folks who dance around issues....it takes far to...

  10. Should I tell my nursing school about my disorder?

    CuriousMe replied to Harmony4All's topic in General Students

    OP: I would speak to someone in your school's disability office. They have to have someone who is in charge of arranging accommodations for students with a disability (ADA requirement). The...

  11. Is this cheating?

    CuriousMe replied to BluegrassRN's topic in General Students

  12. I go to ITT-Tech...

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

    Slander is the defamation of a person in spoken word, as we're typing and not speaking and I'm stating truthful statements about an institution (as opposed to a person) nothing I'm saying is slander....

  13. Do I have to take History to be a nurse.

    CuriousMe replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Students

    It depends on what programs you're looking to apply to. Neither the ADN or BSN programs I applied to required history. They did require a certain amount of credits of humanities (which could include...

  14. Capping the Amount of Times You Can Take the NCLEX

    CuriousMe replied to lifeasanewgrad's topic in General Students

    I agree, I think 3 shots is fair. In my opinion, more than that indicates some sort of deficit that needs to be addressed before

  15. Can't be happy with my grades

    CuriousMe replied to pockunit's topic in General Students

    Except they didn't say EVERYONE....they said: I'm pretty sure this is a true statement. They even put a lol at the end. Lighten up. To the OP: If you're working as hard and smart as you can, and...

  16. I go to ITT-Tech...

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

    I'm a critic, but I'm not upset at all....I got in to my school the first time I applied, no wait lists and certainly a whole lot less then 8 years. ITT Tech provides no opportunity that I feared I...

  17. Nursing Students- Were Any of You "B" Students- and Still Got Accepted?

    CuriousMe replied to lifelearningrn's topic in General Students

    Truthfully, I don't really trust this kind of education. My college experience has been about far more then testing out on the content of each course. I agree with mjmoon as well, guaranteed passing...

  18. Nursing Students- Were Any of You "B" Students- and Still Got Accepted?

    CuriousMe replied to lifelearningrn's topic in General Students

    It makes sense to me that they would value English 101 as much as the sciences. You need the sciences in order to understand what is happening, but nursing is also about communication. Without the...

  19. "if you weren't so obese, you probably wouldn't have 1/2 the illnesses you do"

    CuriousMe replied to SNB1014's topic in General Nursing

    You're a young man, so did you mean, that you're not obese,

  20. "if you weren't so obese, you probably wouldn't have 1/2 the illnesses you do"

    CuriousMe replied to SNB1014's topic in General Nursing

    There's a difference between blunt and direct, and there's a difference between the nurses priorities and the patients. As it's the patient that is going to be doing all the work.....asking what it...

  21. Advancing Education with a Learning Disability?

    CuriousMe replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    From the perspective of someone with dyscalculia, Stat's wasn't really math to me. I'm great with mathematical concepts, it's arithmetic I can't do (seriously, I'm a senior in my BS nursing program...

  22. Vaccinations

    CuriousMe replied to Jimmah555's topic in Nevada Nursing

    You're pretty young, so you may have. But often colleges want a recent measles shot. Be really clear what your requirements are for that

  23. yes ANOTHER essay.i don't have much time

    CuriousMe replied to ambersdevi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Obviously, it's your essay and you should do what feels right. If it were my essay I would be sure to have sentences somewhere in there that said. XYZ has really been what has motivated me to help...

  24. yes ANOTHER essay.i don't have much time

    CuriousMe replied to ambersdevi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Two quick things: Everyone is trying to show them why they are not like the rest of the nursing students. The first thing they will likely look for is if you focussed on answering their questions. If...

  25. Dressing up on Halloween... unprofessional?

    CuriousMe replied to agent's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Thank you, and just a clarification: while it is a day that folks celebrate (mostly kids trick-or-treating, or Halloween parties) it's not a a proper bank holiday like Christmas, or Easter. I just...
