  1. icky question....but

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

    Federal loans aren't much no matter how you slice it. But they are available, even to folks with a prior bachelor's degree. Pell grants generally aren't if you already have a degree, but loans are....

  2. icky question....but

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

    Everyone qualifies for Federal Student Loans....the only exception is if you have defaulted on Federal Student Loans in the

  3. CARDIAC HELP

    CuriousMe replied to RoyalNurse2010's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree, just keep re-drawing it all. The Pumps your Blood song might help some :-) Pup, pump, pumps your blood The right atrium's where the process begins, Where the CO2 blood enters the heart....

  4. Ratted out a co-worker and now feel guilty

    CuriousMe replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I have just one question, just how badly do you think the other nurse feels for putting you in a position where your choices were to lie or turn them in? They're not thinking of you, you shouldn't...

  5. icky question....but

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

    I go call the school you're looking to attend and see if you can make an appointment with a financial aid counselor there. They'll let you know what you need to do to apply for aid and might be able...

  6. Feeling a little lost.

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

    I don't know if you need to be a science junkie....but an RN needs to not only understand normal anatomy & physiology.....they need to understand pathophysiology, what happens to the normal...

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

    CuriousMe replied to yesitslaura's topic in General Students

    Glad to know you can read my mind....or you think you can, since that is not what I was alluding do. I was very clear, and not alluding to anything. I said, it's obvious that her program covers more...

  8. Predicament - Should I quit my job as a CNA while I'm in Nursing School?

    CuriousMe replied to Megan S's topic in General Students

    No shame. You're not struggling to balance school and work.....you're trying to balance school, taking care of your grandmother at the end of her life and work. Cut yourself some slack. It sounds...

  9. Poll: Healthcare Experience Before Nursing School?

    CuriousMe replied to nursein2012's topic in General Students

    If your program doesn't require it, then they're not expecting you to have it. I have very minimal health care experience (took a CNA class, but didn't certify as one) before nursing school and I've...

  10. All electronics banned?

    CuriousMe replied to betakurt's topic in General Students

    And a car requires gas.....should we all walk to work so we don't run out of gas? Of course not, responsible adults ensure they have enough gas to get where they need to go.....they also charge their...

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

    CuriousMe replied to yesitslaura's topic in General Students

    Except that it was you who said I called your program easy. I said it wasn't easy, but different. You're perspective was that you're a nursing wonderkind with inborn knowledge. If you're going to...

  12. bio vs ap

    CuriousMe replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on which biochem course you're speaking of. The one for allied health care? Then A&P is more challenging....the upper level one you take after a year of O-chem....then A&P is far...

  13. what mental health problems/risks does this patient have?

    CuriousMe replied to kcvo's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    In what other body system would you classify

  14. what mental health problems/risks does this patient have?

    CuriousMe replied to kcvo's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Have you considered

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

    CuriousMe replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Students

    Way to stay

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

    CuriousMe replied to yesitslaura's topic in General Students

    Yup, it couldn't be anything else....it must be an extreme that I didn't state. There's nothing in between right....it's either that the program is super easy or that you're the next Florence...

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

    CuriousMe replied to yesitslaura's topic in General Students

    Yeah, our 70:30 isn't they tell us the general concepts and then the 30% is us delving further....we talk about 70% of the topics in class, and the rest is in our textbooks. In our program, the folks...

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

    CuriousMe replied to yesitslaura's topic in General Students

    I didn't say easier....I said more of the material is covered in lecture as well as in the readings. If you're doing well and not studying very much, yet going to lecuture....most of the material...

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

    CuriousMe replied to yesitslaura's topic in General Students

    I think it is fair to say that the exam material might be more from the lecture and less from the books if folks are succeeding without studying as much. I know it's about a 70:30 ratio between...

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

    CuriousMe replied to yesitslaura's topic in General Students

    I'm a chem minor....so I've taken some of the science classes you have. I've found nursing school to be a very different kind of studying. One change is the volume of work covered a week. Even in...

  21. Does anyone else feel like their program starts off slow?

    CuriousMe replied to jennafezz's topic in General Students

    Except that many BSN programs have two years of pre-reqs and the nursing program is then 2 years as well. My BS program is a bit different in that we have 3 years in the program....yet we start...

  22. So you sick yet?

    CuriousMe replied to puravidaLV's topic in General Students

    I guess I'm lucky....all my Proff's are nurses first. We had a strict rule about not comming in to lecture, lab or clinical sick. If you had a fever....you were expected to stay at

  23. Should I forget about nursing?

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

    Many nursing schools only look at the GPA of your pre-req classes. The most important ones to get an A in are your A&P

  24. So you sick yet?

    CuriousMe replied to puravidaLV's topic in General Students

    You went to school when you were that sick? Why?? I know the Prof would have sent you straight home at my school. Not only should you have been in bed.....but you put everyone else at risk of...

  25. How many of your schools require a pharmacology class?

    CuriousMe replied to Coruscatedgirl's topic in General Students

    CityLights said they covered the most common drugs already, and that she wasn't sure if they were going to do more. For the Board of Nursing to approve the curriculum....they must teach
