  1. Grades don't matter! Are you sure??????

    CuriousMe replied to dinah77's topic in General Students

    Let's be fair though, med students aren't only taking a year of pre-reqs for that 3.3 or 3.4. They're usually taking a full year of general chemistry, a full year of organic chemistry, biochemistry,...

    CuriousMe replied to amymina's topic in General Students

    True but ethics (or a lack of them) are ethics no matter the venue. It seems unlikely this student would lie to take shortcuts that make her life easier (and actually has a system to do so) in one...

  3. Grades don't matter! Are you sure??????

    CuriousMe replied to dinah77's topic in General Students

    Sure, but whether she didn't have the time to put to studying because of other responsibilities in her life, or because she was out partying....I'd still rather someone who understood the material...

    CuriousMe replied to amymina's topic in General Students

    It's a simple matter of checking the signatures To the OP: How big are your classes that the Prof's don't notice who's

  5. Is it advisable to live in the dorms during nursing school?

    CuriousMe replied to TJ_vladin's topic in General Students

    I lived in a dorm for my first two years....I thought it was great to be that close to everything I needed. I did live in dorms that had established quiet hours so noise wasn't an issue for me. I'd...

  6. Do you have your clinicals in the hospital?

    CuriousMe replied to SummitRN's topic in General Students

    We were in the community during our first term, which I thought was a good thing. We didn't have any skills yet, so going someplace and working on one skill was really useful....so we'd work flu shot...

  11. Friends cheating.. what to do?

    CuriousMe replied to ajeanpants's topic in General Students

    Glad you see my point. One point of clarification....this exact situation hasn't happened to me of course, but I was involved in a similar situation and I reported. I wouldn't recommend anything I...

  12. Friends cheating.. what to do?

    CuriousMe replied to ajeanpants's topic in General Students

    I of course don't want to see my friends get kicked out of a program, but if I was in this situation... A) how much were they thinking about my friendship when they told me what they were up to?...

  13. is oxygen considered a medication?.. what do you think?

    CuriousMe replied to lvnnars1's topic in General Students

    I wonder if that's a Canada vs. America thing.....because I've never had to wait for a Doc's order to give a patient Oxygen when I'm working in a hospital. We have protocols in place already, so...

  15. ITT Tech's New Program???

    CuriousMe replied to Joyfull77's topic in Oregon Nursing

    One of the problems in OR, is that many CC's dropped their LPN to RN bridge programs when they went OCNE, so there are just less options than there

  16. Friends cheating.. what to do?

    CuriousMe replied to ajeanpants's topic in General Students

    Evidently, it's the friend who is cheating who doesn't care about being expelled from school and being out thousands of dollars as that's the consequence of their actions. I would likely speak with...

  17. is oxygen considered a medication?.. what do you think?

    CuriousMe replied to lvnnars1's topic in General Students

    Most hospitals have a protocol, or standing order (depends on your hospital) to give oxygen if sats are below 92% or there is increased work of breathing (or it could be part of another protocol like...

  18. Friends cheating.. what to do?

    CuriousMe replied to ajeanpants's topic in General Students

    I don't understand this perception: If I report someone else's cheating and they get kicked out....they're getting kicked out because they chose to cheat, not because I reported them. That's like...

  19. Friends cheating.. what to do?

    CuriousMe replied to ajeanpants's topic in General Students

    Reporting cheating doesn't get someone kicked out....cheating does. In fact, the opposite of your statement is true in my school....my honor code states that not reporting cheating will get you...

  20. Friends cheating.. what to do?

    CuriousMe replied to ajeanpants's topic in General Students

    Reporting cheating doesn't get someone kicked out....cheating does and snitching is a schoolyard concept, in the adult world if you don't report things like this, you're considered an

  21. Friends cheating.. what to do?

    CuriousMe replied to ajeanpants's topic in General Students

    You put a lot of faith in one exam. They could still pass the NCLEX. My concern is not what they do or do not know, it's that they'll be nurses who are showing that they have no ethics. If they were...

  22. Friends cheating.. what to do?

    CuriousMe replied to ajeanpants's topic in General Students

    For two reasons: A) as you said the cheaters MAY not make it....but they may... B) For the silent accomplice, what else is it OK for a nurse to witness/know about but not report? There's to much at...
