  1. Do you need to take the exact class?

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

    Again, I don't think it should matter.....but my opinion doesn't matter. You need to ask the admissions

  2. What is YOUR opinion on nursing school exams?

    CuriousMe replied to Frazzled_One's topic in General Students

    Yup, that's exactly what I said....good work on your reading comprehension! See, what I wrote above is sarcasm....it is a part of a communication style. These styles not only vary greatly from person...

  3. What is YOUR opinion on nursing school exams?

    CuriousMe replied to Frazzled_One's topic in General Students

    Part of being a nurse is realizing that different people have different communication styles....or you can just walk around getting offended by people, it's up to

  4. Do you need to take the exact class?

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

    I could say yes.....but, my opinion really doesn't matter on this. Really, the only folks who can answer that question definitively....are the admission folks at the schools you are looking to apply...

  5. Stuck in a nightmare, Nursing student/Employee

    CuriousMe replied to Jvilla's topic in General Students

    Ultimately, it doesn't matter if the hospital is being unfair. When we do clinicals at any site, we are there as guests of that facility. They get to decide when we're no longer invited to be

  6. Do you need to take the exact class?

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

    My school was pretty specific that it needed to be human development throughout the lifetime.....so, if covered the life span, they counted it. Your best bet is to call the school and see what their...

  7. Failing Patho. Last Day to Drop is Tomorrow.

    CuriousMe replied to Medi-Kate's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Have you identified what you're having trouble with? Are there facts you don't know well enough? Is the question style difficult for you? Are you not understanding the scenario's of the questions?...

  8. audio recording allowed?

    CuriousMe replied to deetrain's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You'd be taking identifiable patient information out of the hospital....a serious

  9. What is YOUR opinion on nursing school exams?

    CuriousMe replied to Frazzled_One's topic in General Students

    Wow, sorry your program approaches it that way. Sounds like the opposite of my

  10. I think I've ruined my chances of getting into a RN nursing program

    CuriousMe replied to antajshalakiag's topic in General Students

    First thing I'd do is talk to the CC where you used to attend. Find out what you need to do to make things right (ie getting rid of financial aid suspension). Retaking the classes and doing well will...

  11. Questions About Nursing

    CuriousMe replied to awildflower's topic in General Nursing

    Hi awildflower, It's great that you're asking questions to find out more about the reality of nursing before working toward getting into nursing school. I would suggest that you ask a moderator to...

  12. Why is Nursing School So Flawed?

    CuriousMe replied to TCASII's topic in General Students

    The more I read this thread.....the more I'm thankful for my program. While it's obvious from all the replies to this thread that there are programs like this....it seems to me that it's not "nursing...

  13. Age of graduates coming out of Nursing School!?

    CuriousMe replied to Blessed S.N.23's topic in General Students

    Started my prereqs at 38 yrs-old, applied and got into my BS program at 40 (well started the academic year at 39), and will graduate 3 years later, this June at 42 yrs-old. I have 54 in my cohort, and...

  14. Hospital Technology Question

    CuriousMe replied to KnightRN's topic in General Students

    The Pyxis/med cart at one of the hospitals I did clincials in had thumb prints instead of user id's. It was super convenient, it took us just a minute to set up and it was one less password to

  15. Hospital Technology Question

    CuriousMe replied to KnightRN's topic in General Students

    I would say that using both a card and a pin would take longer than just typing a user id, hitting tab to move to the password box and typing your

  16. Hospital Technology Question

    CuriousMe replied to KnightRN's topic in General Students

    Depending on a physical item (ie a card) to access the system can be a security risk. It means that if the card is lost, anyone can enter the system. A knowledge-based system (ie a user id and a...

  17. ecg new grad question please help...

    CuriousMe replied to joan.randy's topic in General Students

    There's no way you can know this information unless you either can read the manager's mind or you ask her. There's not a standardized curriculum for the classes you're speaking of, it just depends on...

  18. ecg new grad question please help...

    CuriousMe replied to joan.randy's topic in General Students

    The problem is, that no one but your manager is going to know if the second class is the kind of class she wants you to

  19. What is your policy on discussing grades with classmates?

    CuriousMe replied to aem31's topic in General Students

    I avoid specific grades with all but a few classmates. I'll generally ask them, if they did as well as they wanted to (since that's what I really want to know...some are only happy with an A, and...

  20. Why is Nursing School So Flawed?

    CuriousMe replied to TCASII's topic in General Students

    While you are correct about the definition of palliative care, what folks mean when they say palliative care is overwhelmingly end-of-life care. For instance, I've never heard anyone speak of...

  21. Checked out some programs while visiting...

    CuriousMe replied to christinamuniz's topic in Oregon Nursing

    What local schools do they have bridge programs with? The last I heard, University of Phoenix was their primary bridge program and the local schools wouldn't accept their

  22. Does anyone else feel like NON nursing students don't "understand?"

    CuriousMe replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Students

    Ok...so?

  23. Does anyone else feel like NON nursing students don't "understand?"

    CuriousMe replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Students

    I never said that no one can work full time while in nursing school, I said that it depends on three different factors. You've only addressed one of them. I think that some people can not work full...

  24. Does anyone else feel like NON nursing students don't "understand?"

    CuriousMe replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Students

    I think that whether this is possible depends on three things, the specific program, how much time the student needs to do well, and the student's definition of "doing well." For many people, it's...

  25. Why is Nursing School So Flawed?

    CuriousMe replied to TCASII's topic in General Students

    While it's true that there is often no single right answer to any question, I think some of your frustration is due to your specific program. If we question a test question, and show evidence why our...
