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

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

    I would try to more specifically answer their primary question: why you will be successful as a healthcare provider? You speak about a lot of life experiences, but you never tie it in together to why...

  2. "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

    So, it's not possible the patient (as they felt they were going to fall) wasn't rationally thinking through the physics of the situation....but was instead voicing their fear of falling? I was a...

  3. "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

    Very therapeutic

  4. "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

    And not useful. I can't imagine that anyone in the hospital for uncontrolled HTN, Type II DM, etc. hasn't been told that they need to change their lifestyle. Evidently, they haven't been successful....

  5. Vaccinations

    CuriousMe replied to Jimmah555's topic in Nevada Nursing

    If you're currently a registered student somewhere, I'd check the pricing at the school health clinic for both vaccines and titers. I know our clinics have been a lot less then public health. A titer...

  6. HR becoming pickier?

    CuriousMe replied to want2banrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's a different ball of wax once you're at the interview stage. You're original example of GPA is used as a screener to save the HR departments by excluding the majority of the applicants based on a...

  7. Measles

    CuriousMe replied to nursingishard's topic in General Nursing

    That's all I did to find

  8. HR becoming pickier?

    CuriousMe replied to want2banrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    But it IS an employer's market. There are far more applicants than there are jobs. They CAN be as choosy as they want to be. These are all realities. Are you upset with the specific criteria...

  9. HR becoming pickier?

    CuriousMe replied to want2banrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's a seller's market (so to speak) they get to be as choosy as they

  10. Measles

    CuriousMe replied to nursingishard's topic in General Nursing

    Found this on the CDC website: http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00001090.htm Tuberculosis: Tuberculosis may be exacerbated by natural measles infection. There is no evidence, however, that the...

  14. One bad egg...

    CuriousMe replied to OttawaRPN's topic in General Nursing

    No one has yet addressed whether the students had lab coats included in their dress code. Other then the post above, I've never heard of students being able to wear whatever scrubs they wanted for...

  15. One bad egg...

    CuriousMe replied to OttawaRPN's topic in General Nursing

    None of that would be tolerated in my program today. Why would that only be reported back to the CI back in the day....why wouldn't that be reported to the CI

  16. One bad egg...

    CuriousMe replied to OttawaRPN's topic in General Nursing

    I went back reread the OP and didn't see information supporting the sections of your comment that I bolded. All it said about the lab coat is that it's the kind sold at medical supply stores...which I...

  17. Student nurses: non-science backgrounds

    CuriousMe replied to mpolo's topic in General Students

    At the end of the day, as long as you're meeting your programs requirements.....it doesn't matter what rate you're learning at. So, even if you're not learning as quickly as some others in your...

  18. One bad egg...

    CuriousMe replied to OttawaRPN's topic in General Nursing

    They're available here in the states. I have all of Shaun's DVD's. We discovered "The Wrong Trousers" back in the late

  19. One bad egg...

    CuriousMe replied to OttawaRPN's topic in General Nursing

    Are lab coats a part of the students dress code? I know they are for ours. We don't have to wear them, but they are part of what we're allowed to wear during clinicals (we are required to have 3/4...

  20. Help Design a better Mobile Clinical Assistant device

    CuriousMe replied to Aceso's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, one of my biggest disappointments with the iPad is that it doesn't have a stylus (really now, who's ever heard of a pad that you can't write on?). Even I...a very poor nursing student,...

  21. To keep going on with Chemistry or not?

    CuriousMe replied to TC1087271's topic in General Students

    Well....wouldn't it depend on why she changed her mind? Is the second chem course required? If so, wouldn't it be easier with the first course fresh in your

  22. Put on probation first time administering meds

    CuriousMe replied to lilykiss6's topic in General Students

    LOL:yeah: You read me so

  23. Put on probation first time administering meds

    CuriousMe replied to lilykiss6's topic in General Students

    You're right, what was I thinking:smackingf There's no way not knowing the class of drugs (never mind understanding how the class operates) could possibly cause harm. Expecting someone to know the...

  25. Put on probation first time administering meds

    CuriousMe replied to lilykiss6's topic in General Students

    In my program, not knowing the class of one drug that I'm about to administer will get me put on probation. As has been mentioned, the class is important information. It not only tells about how...
