  1. Homework? How much in 1st year?

    CuriousMe replied to JWnurse2b's topic in General Students

    Everyone in my program has the same instructors....hence why I said it depends on the

  2. Homework? How much in 1st year?

    CuriousMe replied to JWnurse2b's topic in General Students

    I think you're better off speaking with someone a year a head of you in your program as this will vary wildly from program to

  3. Nursing School Must Haves??

    CuriousMe replied to Servingshots's topic in General Students

    We had an equipment list, including a stethoscope, that we were responsible for having by the first day of lab. They didn't let us try different kinds of scrubs or laptops in lab before we bought...

  4. Calcium, Vit D confusion

    CuriousMe replied to anonymous1919's topic in General Students

    Or a sentence like: You need your vitamins to have strong bones. I sometimes find concepts easier than

  5. Should I take chemistry?

    CuriousMe replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    From my experience, (others likely had different experiences) A&P isn't that hard, it certainly isn't hard compared to nursing school. A&P definitely takes work, and it's not something that...

  6. Should I take chemistry?

    CuriousMe replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you're not taking anything besides A&P, I'd definitely take Chem with A&P1. I know it's not required, but the knowledge will only help you in the future. A&P1 is mostly memorization,...

  7. How do you wash your scrubs?

    CuriousMe replied to gumby1411's topic in General Students

    Well my immune system better step up to the job, because it's been over a decade since I owned an iron.....and I don't anticipate that changing any time

  8. "Traditional" private colleges offering BSN?

    CuriousMe replied to blondielocks's topic in General Students

    Doesn't Yale have a nursing

  9. just finished my first quarter :(

    CuriousMe replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    No, you're not doomed. I agree with guiltysins. The key is to analyse what happened, and I would definitely speak with your professor, they will likely have some insight in helping you figure out...

  10. Dog on the floor, what do you think?

    CuriousMe replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

    The post you quoted was literally the first reply. That question was answered over 100 posts ago. We then started to talk about dogs (as in pets) VISITING. I appreciate your enthusiasm....but holy...

  11. Just Visited a NS: Impressions?

    CuriousMe replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    Are they quarters or semesters? Most of the schools (including where I did my prereqs) are on quarters in my area. So, I had three A&P classes, and two pharmacology classes.....this was for a BS...

  12. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    CuriousMe replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would say that depends wholly on location ? If there are 10 folks, 9 of them speak with a true Bostonian accent and 1speaks perfect midwest American English, I submit that it is the 1 with the...

  13. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    CuriousMe replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well that's not wrong, that's just an accent. If anything as you weren't from there, you likely sounded "wrong." (as a NY'er, I can say that it is a common north east trait to avoid all

  14. Applicants to PDX area Nursing Schools 2010

    CuriousMe replied to Rachel-EMT's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Not generally. You could bring the class syllabus to the school and see if they'll accept it, but I think most students have to take some other kind of biology with genetics. I took BI233 at LCC and...

  15. Dog on the floor, what do you think?

    CuriousMe replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think a life in a purse would be very enjoyable either. I'm really not a dog-hater--in fact I have nothing against the dogs at all. It's the owners who I have a problem with. Dogs are not...

  16. Dog on the floor, what do you think?

    CuriousMe replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

    Of course, life happens and it happens without guarantees, but no one is bringing the spiders in to your workplace to visit someone.....or to a health care setting in which you are a patient, or...

  17. Laptop vs. Pen/Paper

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

    I'm really surprised that you'd recommend a digital hybrid pen after having a tablet! A friend had one of those pens, I tried her's and she played with my computer....I stayed with my tablet and she...

  19. Good grades or CNA experience more important when applying for jobs?

    CuriousMe replied to magn1jes's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe it's a regional thing.....I know the hospitals around here want a transcript for new

  20. Laptop vs. Pen/Paper

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

    I color code as well (on the computer of course), it's always worked well for me. I have a palette of colors set up for each class depending on whether I'll be writing on colored PowerPoint slides...

  21. Dog on the floor, what do you think?

    CuriousMe replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

    Of course I'm not looking to break the law....what a ridiculus idea:uhoh3:.....if you follow the thread of the conversation, this response was about pets VISITING the hospital. Which is entirely...

  22. Good grades or CNA experience more important when applying for jobs?

    CuriousMe replied to magn1jes's topic in General Nursing

    Geeze, touchy much?? She was just trying to understand the job described. We don't have nurse assistants in my state (I'm assuming they aren't in SmartNurse's state either as she hadn't heard of...

  23. I need advice on which route to take

    CuriousMe replied to kate.elizabeth's topic in General Students

    You might want to post this question in the California

  24. For Profit Colleges?

    CuriousMe replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    You may also want to check with area hospitals since in many areas, in order to reach or maintain magnet status, hospitals are preferentially hiring BSN's for their new grad positions. We've seen...

  25. Yale, Columbia, Penn?

    CuriousMe replied to Ashley.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This forum is for pre-nursing students, so you may not get a lot of replies. You may try the regional forums for the geographical location of these schools, or even the nursing student forum for...
