  1. help

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

    Well, college is like a job....except when you go home you get to do some more

  2. 4.0 in pre reqs difficulty

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

    That sounds more like a case of different courses, than different colleges. I know my CC offered science major courses (the ones that pre-med students took) as well as ones designed for those going...

  3. Concerns about nursing programs?

    CuriousMe replied to TXHoneyBee!'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Each school should let you know what the application deadline is....there's really not much of a choice as to "when" to apply. Your financial aid eligibility will transfer, IF you add the school codes...

  4. GPAs in NS school

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

    4.0 for a BS program. I had a lousy GPA in high school, but that was back when dinosaurs roamed the earth I've learned quite a bit since

  5. All electronics banned?

    CuriousMe replied to betakurt's topic in General Students

    There's a drug book at every med cart I've been to. If it OK to use the drug book? If so, how is the PDA

  6. All electronics banned?

    CuriousMe replied to betakurt's topic in General Students

    Truly, a loud and noisy place can be easier to focus in. It's when it's a quite room, except for that one person sniffling, or clicking their pen, or...well you get the idea

  7. How to study for nursing exams?

    CuriousMe replied to Tamch's topic in General Students

    I'd ask your Prof, because different fundamentals classes cover different

  8. what if trying your hardest isin't good enough?

    CuriousMe replied to nikisashabell's topic in General Students

    I think you're borrowing trouble. You can "what if" yourself to death! There's not time for that, wait until it's actually a concern instead of worrying yourself with "what if's." If these are...

  9. APA Rant by RN

    CuriousMe replied to pedsrnjc's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You're very nice to post this. But, if I had to actually format something in APA by following either the APA manual or something like the OWL site.....well, I'd still be writing my first nursing...

  10. Literature needed to put Nursing School into prespective

    CuriousMe replied to krazykchan's topic in General Students

    That's why you'll continue to do the chores, not because you're not brining in less money.....because you decided it's easier to do it yourself than to expect him to do his part. Nothing will change...

  11. Does anyone get their books unbound?

    CuriousMe replied to my3suns's topic in General Students

    I looked into doing this with my HUGE med surg book.....but it was so many pages that, even with putting the maximum pages per spiral binding..... I would have ended up with 10 books. I just knew...

  12. Well, No Nursing for Me

    CuriousMe replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    You're missing what folks are saying. They're saying that for each nursing class there was a comprehensive final....in other-words, the test was on everything they learned in nursing school up to...

  13. Well, No Nursing for Me

    CuriousMe replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    The exams aren't testing your physical skills. Your clinical instructor did that....if you weren't safe, they wouldn't have passed you. The exams are testing knowledge and more importantly.......

  14. Have to share laundry facilities, washing scrubs?

    CuriousMe replied to krazykchan's topic in General Students

    I have navy scrubs as well, and I share laundry facilities. I just wash my scrubs with my other dark clothes. I even wash them in cold water (I wash everything but my whites in cold)....they get...

  15. Drug sheets or cards

    CuriousMe replied to cjungen's topic in General Students

    Yes, an RN will look up a drug before giving it....but your first goal is to do well on the exam. For that, I'd ask the Prof what facts (and how much detail for each) you're supposed to learn for...

  16. Need a non-certified private loan ASAP

    CuriousMe replied to OneDayAttaTime's topic in General Students

    As long as you get your FA in the first week of school, you should be fine buying your supplies, etc

  17. APA Rant by RN

    CuriousMe replied to pedsrnjc's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    We're required to cite in our blasted forums. We don't get credit for the posting if we

  18. APA Rant by RN

    CuriousMe replied to pedsrnjc's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Before spending money on a program to handle APA for you, check with your library. Often university library's have a site license for these programs that are available to all students. I know my...

  19. What do you eat at 5am for breakfast?

    CuriousMe replied to sandyfeet's topic in General Students

    I grab a string cheese or a hard boiled egg from my fridge and an apple if I'm in a hurry. If I have a bit of time then some oatmeal, or a toasted english muffin with peanut butter and that apple...

  20. Extended MN Nurses Strike Averted

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

    Hang out your own shingle?? Would that would make you........autonomous? You might want to rethink

  21. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    CuriousMe replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    So, no citation for the "fact" you stated and you make assumptions. I am starting to agree with you; you should definitely not practice

  22. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    CuriousMe replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I didn't state anything as fact....you said, and I quote, "I know for a fact that many of them do....." when speaking about a patient WANTING to wait for hours for substandard primary care (because as...

  23. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    CuriousMe replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Well that's closer....I hope you communicate better verbally than in writing. So, yes, I did state my opinion that you are completely disconnected from the day-to-day reality of other socioeconomic...

  24. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    CuriousMe replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'm sorry, I'm not sure what your shorthand means. Could you reply with a complete English sentence

  25. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    CuriousMe replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Many of them...those other bad people huh? Interesting perspective. I don't suppose you have anything behind this but your opinion? I stand by my original assertion, you're very disconnected from...
