  1. Can anyone explain the logic behind nursing exam questions?

    CuriousMe replied to Angitia's topic in General Students

    Then, I advise you not to read it. This being a public board and all... It seems there's progress though as there's recognition of the lameness of the attempt at humor (admitting the problem is...

  2. Really scared Nursing Hopeful

    CuriousMe replied to VannVann2008's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CuriousMe replied to Aceso's topic in General Nursing

  4. Are we sacrificing hands on patient care for academics?

    CuriousMe replied to us2uk4u's topic in General Nursing

  6. Are we sacrificing hands on patient care for academics?

    CuriousMe replied to us2uk4u's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that it sounds like an issue for your program (and the other's in your area from your response). I'll have between 1,300 and 1,400 clinical hours before I graduate from my BS program. We...

  7. help! verification of registered nurse license from other county

    CuriousMe replied to sebastion's topic in International Nursing

  8. Can anyone explain the logic behind nursing exam questions?

    CuriousMe replied to Angitia's topic in General Students

  9. Can anyone explain the logic behind nursing exam questions?

    CuriousMe replied to Angitia's topic in General Students

  12. How do I nicely say "no"?

    CuriousMe replied to SaraSmile3's topic in General Students

    I'm glad you said no. I have two bits to add to this, the first is that No is a complete sentence. So, if someone asks you to solve their problem by doing X, Y or Z. A perfectly acceptable answer...

  13. Can anyone explain the logic behind nursing exam questions?

    CuriousMe replied to Angitia's topic in General Students

  16. How do I approach Daddy?

    CuriousMe replied to LuLutheClown's topic in General Students

    Direct is the only option. I'd be straight and just say, "Dad, thanks so much for offering to pay for the first semester, you & (wife's name)'s help is so appreciated! This is what it's cost so...

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

    CuriousMe replied to lifelearningrn's topic in General Students

    Just to give the other side of the coin on this. You can't be a 4.0 nursing student in my program unless you excel in clinicals because clinicals are 55% of our grades (only the first of 9 terms are...

  18. Here goes nothing

    CuriousMe replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

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

    CuriousMe replied to lifelearningrn's topic in General Students

    Since you asked: I had a 4.0 GPA. I applied to a competitive CC and a competitive BS program; I got accepted at both. My GPA got me in to the CC ( I could tell from their point structure), but...

    CuriousMe replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

  21. For those of you in NS

    CuriousMe replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

    I understand that you said it's a hospital program that has converted to an ADN program....but they have to be tied to a school somewhere for the degree. Is this school a for-profit school? And...

  22. Get the question right and lose a point!!

    CuriousMe replied to cutenurse2b_1's topic in General Students

    How is it that you think you got it wrong? If you got 50 right out of 50 questions...it's 100%. If you got 49 right out of 49 questions....it's

    CuriousMe replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

  24. Do you use Kindle to download school books?

    CuriousMe replied to sincerebliss's topic in General Students

    Nope, I do have some of my texts on my tablet PC. It's important for me to annotate (with a pen/stylus). I had hoped that the iPad would allow for that....but they don't have a stylus
