  1. Do you call your teachers by their 1st names?

    CuriousMe replied to noyesno's topic in General Students

    Except the opposite of polite isn't casual. You can be polite and casual. Just as you can be formal and rude. So, I can use titles and honorifics and act rudely. Just as I can show respect to...

  3. Do you call your teachers by their 1st names?

    CuriousMe replied to noyesno's topic in General Students

    But it wasn't that hospitals or health care were specifically more formal back then.....the whole country was more formal back then. In every industry, colleagues would call each other a title (Dr.,...

  4. I am an American.

    CuriousMe replied to UnionRN2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Right, if you went to his country....once you got there you'd try and learn their norms. You won't know them as you walk off the plane. As someone who has lived around the world, it can take a...

  5. I am an American.

    CuriousMe replied to UnionRN2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think NocturneRN's point is though, that you'd need to know that it was the norm before you could

  6. Update and advice needed!

    CuriousMe replied to angeloa22's topic in General Students

    Medical terminology isn't really anything that can be taught....it's straight memorization. You just need to put the time in to memorizing

  7. Broke Foot=withdraw from nursing school

    CuriousMe replied to tattooedlilfreak's topic in General Students

    The Professor's at my school are very compassionate, but I'd still need to withdraw for the term (which would be for the year, as each course is only offered once a year) if I couldn't participate in...

  8. Forced Flu Shots

    CuriousMe replied to Tinksrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Right, she can't have a vaccine (medication) because she's allergic to one of it's ingredients. She's not ingesting any food in this scenario, it just so happens folks also eat the ingredient she's...

  10. Nursing journals/articles

    CuriousMe replied to 1234student's topic in General Students

    CINAHL is the resource I always use to find nursing articles. Have you spoken with your research librarian? They often have great ideas and approaches to find what you

  11. Silly question. Urine output per hour?

    CuriousMe replied to 1234student's topic in General Students

    I'm assuming that you've searched through your school's research databases? (CINAHL,

  13. To Work or Not to Work that is the Question.

    CuriousMe replied to Vanessa3's topic in General Students

    If you're under 24 yr-old, it tends to be really hard to prove that you're independent unless you're married, or have a child (and no, I don't suggest either of these paths to get more financial aid...

  14. How to deal with an incompetent classmate?

    CuriousMe replied to CharlotteDarcy's topic in General Students

  16. How to deal with an incompetent classmate?

    CuriousMe replied to CharlotteDarcy's topic in General Students

    Well sure, that would feel good:yeah: but other than that, what would it accomplish? It sounds like the OP is in the beginning of their nursing program, there's a lot to get through yet. I would...

  17. How to deal with an incompetent classmate?

    CuriousMe replied to CharlotteDarcy's topic in General Students

    It's tough with this being the last day before the project is due. In the future, you might e-mail the prof the general question of, "how should we deal with a classmate who just won't do their fair...

  18. How to deal with an incompetent classmate?

    CuriousMe replied to CharlotteDarcy's topic in General Students

    Are you all getting the same grade? In other words, if the Prof see's that everyone is prepared and does a great job with their part of the presentation, yet this fourth team member obviously doesn't...

  19. Giving flu shot to instructors...

    CuriousMe replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, in our first term of nursing school we did give flu shots to our instructors. It was nerve-wracking

  20. Why does my BSN program require health insurance?

    CuriousMe replied to brielle776's topic in General Students

    the new health care bill that was enacted on 9/23 states that for all new policies, adults can remain on their parents (guardian's) health insurance until they are 26 yrs old. Existing policies are...

  21. Why does my BSN program require health insurance?

    CuriousMe replied to brielle776's topic in General Students

    Also, if it's mandatory, your school can add it to your financial aid budget (so you can use your financial aid to pay for it). If it's not mandatory, they

  22. NCLEX 3500: Study software for NCLEX-RN

    CuriousMe replied to tgriffin888's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You mean other than very questionable legality and morality of downloading licensed software without paying for it? I wouldn't take a pair of NIKE's out of a store if I knew I wouldn't get caught...

  23. ITT Tech's New Program???

    CuriousMe replied to Joyfull77's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Folks sharing their experiences (both positive and negative), discussing the real limitations (such as being able to transfer the credits to a limited number of institutions) isn't "hating on" ITT...

  24. Applying Early.. not a good idea?

    CuriousMe replied to KareBear0609's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you have the application fee....why not? The application fee is all you have to lose! The worst that happens is that you don't get in, and then you apply next year after you've finished the rest...

  25. Advice on math

    CuriousMe replied to frogkicker's topic in General Students

    The problem is that the math used in nursing can be kind of like algebra. You're either using formulas to figure out a conversion, or your're doing dimensional analysis to come to the same...
