  2. Pre-nursing student in need of advising on a few things plz

    CuriousMe replied to TG14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on the area though, the community colleges by me do not have wait lists....they have competitive applications, just like the 4 year

    CuriousMe replied to Classylady85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  4. Am unable to get in Nursing program

    CuriousMe replied to Classylady85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would seriously recommend taking A&P again...not just to make your application stronger, but because if you don't have mastery of A&P, it will be very hard to pass nursing school. You don't...

  5. Do you ask Q's for the truth, or to hear nice things???

    CuriousMe replied to Texas247365's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I read what he just wrote....I far prefer his style to yours. He never attacked anyone else's character....only stated that their performance was below standards. In contrast with your posts which...

  6. Do you ask Q's for the truth, or to hear nice things???

  7. Pre-nursing student in need of advising on a few things plz

  8. Pre-nursing student in need of advising on a few things plz

    CuriousMe replied to TG14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not so, I know plenty of 4.0 students who haven't gotten in to any program they applied to

    CuriousMe replied to TG14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Texas247365's post was far more readable than the OP's. I think that was the intent of their

  11. Do you read the book before or after material is covered in class?

    CuriousMe replied to Izzy11's topic in General Students

    Both. I usually read it fast before the lecture....if I don't understand something, I just write down questions. I then go to lecture (generally questions are cleared up by lecture, or I ask...

  12. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    CuriousMe replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    From your description, you got what you paid for....you got a box checked. I think it's unfortunate that there are check box

  13. How difficult did you find pharmacology?

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

    I found that store bought cards aren't as effective as making my own cards. For one, they generally don't have the exact information my Prof is testing on (not enough of some info, to much of other...

  14. Is Insurance required for Nursing Schools?

    CuriousMe replied to JWnurse2b's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I can only speak for OHSU's plan. It's actually pretty good. Generic's $15/month, name brand's $25/month. If it's a generic on the Walmart/Bimart list....I just buy it without my insurance as it's...

  15. Is Insurance required for Nursing Schools?

    CuriousMe replied to JWnurse2b's topic in Oregon Nursing

    OHSU's insurance runs over the summer as well, it runs from September 1 through to the next Aug. 31. The premiums for the summer are spread out to each term's

  16. HELP!! I need guidance I saw someone cheating

    CuriousMe replied to Brie80's topic in General Students

    The idea of "snitching" and "tattletale" is a grade school one that has no place in the real world. In the real world, it's expected for responsible adults to report cheating. There are even...

  17. What the heck is up with nursing school tests??!!

    CuriousMe replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    I suggest buying an NCLEX book, so you can practice that type of

  19. PCC RN school schedule??

    CuriousMe replied to JWnurse2b's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I know it sounds odd.....but there's not much math in Stats. Most of it is done with your TI-83 calculator or in

  20. Nudity?

    CuriousMe replied to tlp514's topic in General Students

    What in my comment would make you say that I think spending time with your classmates in appropriate ways (ie everyone's dressed) is creepy? That's a completely different scenario than a 39 year-old...

  21. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    CuriousMe replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The programs I've seen are clinical nurse specialists, or clinical nurse leaders. Coursework over and above an RN

  22. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    CuriousMe replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I didn't say entry into the professon, I said kinds of RN school. No matter the path, there are three different educational levels: diploma, ADN, and BSN. Technically, you can add MSN....but they come...

  23. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    CuriousMe replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Right, they alll have different degrees (with the same required prereqs) and then they enter medical school. There is only one version of medical school. That's where it's different. There's two...

  24. How difficult did you find pharmacology?

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

    I like making them myself for two reasons: 1) They have only the material that my Prof is asking us to know 2) More importantly, I think I learn more making them then running through them

  25. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    CuriousMe replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Not sure what you're saying? Do you think this group of folks are unable to get a bachelors degree? I think some second career folks take the ADN route, because it's there.....and if it wasn't there,...
