  1. Becoming A LPN While In RN Program

    CuriousMe replied to Ccutie515's topic in General Students

    Best bet is to contact your state BON. They can tell you if it's possible in your state, and if your institution is set up to do

  2. Do you guys see a lot of people saying they are nursing students....

    CuriousMe replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    I understand discussions, it's where folks chime in and give their opinion. I gave mine: I can't understand why anyone would care about this. And wow! LOL You flatter yourself, trust me....you...

  3. Do you guys see a lot of people saying they are nursing students....

    CuriousMe replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    Can't figure out for the life of me, why I would care what kind of student someone would call themselves. If they were claiming a license...that's another thing, but to say they're a nursing...

  4. can you make it all the way through nursing school on dishonesty alone?

    CuriousMe replied to Desire2Learn's topic in General Students

    Congratulations, but that doesn't change my perspective. At it's heart, cheating is looking for that easy way out. I don't believe that's a character flaw that folks just decide to change. People...

  5. can you make it all the way through nursing school on dishonesty alone?

    CuriousMe replied to Desire2Learn's topic in General Students

    With the exception of grade school (where character is still developing), I do believe once a cheater always a cheater. I believe that cheating is a character flaw of someone who is always looking...

  6. Best place to buy a penlight?

    CuriousMe replied to raceman06's topic in General Students

    Hardware stores often have them for like a buck a

  7. For Profit Colleges?

    CuriousMe replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    That is not the least of the problems with the for profit schools. The root of the problem isn't that credits won't transfer....it's why they won't transfer. They won't transfer because the school...

  8. Abusive and Cruel Clinical Instructors: Why??

    CuriousMe replied to sallber's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't necessarily assume that there was abuse. I'm sure your daughter is a great student. However, I know that my school is very careful about who they will place in the ED as a Senior...

  9. How much time do you *really*spend studying?

    CuriousMe replied to yesitslaura's topic in General Students

    Hey that comment looks familiar....but when I said it, I was jumped on for telling her that her program was easy. Yes, I fully understand that wasn't even implied....but logic and facts rarely are...

  10. Group project

    CuriousMe replied to Hospice Nurse LPN's topic in General Students

    I agree, you might just need to take the bull by the horns, so to speak. Maybe take a look at the rubric and then e-mail out assignments, adding that this is what you came up with, who else has an...

  11. Competitive Pre-Nursing Students?

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

    The truth of the matter is that, while it's true getting in to nursing school is very competitive....the only student you can do anything about is you. The only competition that you have any control...

  12. Stethoscope question

    CuriousMe replied to ashleyisawesome's topic in General Students

    My school didn't require a specific steth, but they did require a one with bell and a

  13. Extended MN Nurses Strike Averted

    CuriousMe replied to Intern67's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Another good reason for you to avoid practicing outside of the hospital....that narcolepsy problem you seem to have. Best to have lots of folks to back you

  14. Total Lab/Clinical Hours in different nursing programs

    CuriousMe replied to chendamoni's topic in General Students

    BS Program, 1490 Clinical hours, I didn't figure out how many lab

  15. Extended MN Nurses Strike Averted

    CuriousMe replied to Intern67's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Since you don't consider yourself able to care for patients, I guess you shouldn't have said the

  16. APA

    CuriousMe replied to suni's topic in General Students

    I've tried Word 2007's APA and it's often wrong. I use RefWorks; I've gone through two years of my nursing program so far and have never been dinged for APA formatting. RefWorks hasn't let me down...

  17. can you make it all the way through nursing school on dishonesty alone?

    CuriousMe replied to Desire2Learn's topic in General Students

    I agree with you. Looking the other way because it doesn't directly effect me, is a playground response. My school policy states that if I witness cheating and don't report it, I'm as guilty as the...

  18. West Coast University Nursing Program Questions, Please Help!

    CuriousMe replied to j-lyn's topic in California Nursing

    Just want to point out that there are two different kinds of "Private" schools. There are not-for-profit private schools (think Yale and Harvard) and then there are FOR profit Private schools like...

  19. Class President Problems

    CuriousMe replied to btjaj89's topic in General Students

    Actually, I've been an officer of the SNA all three years in my program. In fact during my first year, I was the class liaison (between my class and the faculty). We've had no childishness. We...

  20. Class President Problems

    CuriousMe replied to btjaj89's topic in General Students

    I agree with llg, the bigger a deal you make of it, the bigger a deal it will be. I'm also our school's SNA Pres. Students have made the Madame Pres comments, but all in good fun. Just smile and...

    CuriousMe replied to teach_hospiceRN's topic in General Students

    yes, both are integrated pain management and hospice are taught throughout our curriculum. some of the students in my class have had clinicals with a hospice agency. oh, i'm in a bs program (it's a 3...

  22. OHSU vs. Linfield accelerated BSN- thoughts?

    CuriousMe replied to Cinquefoil's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I'm not sure, I'm not on the Portland

  23. OHSU vs. Linfield accelerated BSN- thoughts?

    CuriousMe replied to Cinquefoil's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I'm an OHSU student, but I'm in the standard BS program and not the accelerated. I can tell you that the clinical student to Prof ratio can be no more than 8:1 as that's the state BON requirement....

  24. Soooo... Are you at a disadvantage at NS? I think I am.

    CuriousMe replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Students

    Not let it affect you negatively? You mean you get more negative then this? If you manage to stay in the program, nursing school could be really good for you.....it will give you the opportunity to...

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

    30K for a one year LPN program sounds like a lot of loans! Is your school eligible for Pell
