  1. Laptop vs. Pen/Paper

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

    I did both. I have a tablet computer (it's a laptop that is also a tablet computer), so I write my notes with the pen that comes with my computer right the screen. I use Microsoft OneNote, it not...

  2. Nudity?

    CuriousMe replied to tlp514's topic in General Students

    Saw that and wasn't thrilled about it, but at least it wasn't as blatantly creepy. He's at least not old enough to be some of the students'

  3. For those of you who have taken transfer courses before nursing school...

    CuriousMe replied to Just A Wanderer's topic in General Students

    You may want to post in your regional forum, as it often (but not always) works differently here in the states. I know my school doesn't even offer the first year of classes (A&P, micro,

  4. failed nursing students

    CuriousMe replied to vccorscc's topic in General Students

    I did answer, in my first

  5. Failed ADN program, now trying for BSN

    CuriousMe replied to blessed2bfree's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think she was saying the extra prereqs she needed were online: bless2bfree said: I am thinking about taking the extra prereqs starting this summer that are required for the BSN program. They are all...

    CuriousMe replied to vccorscc's topic in General Students

    Good insight about that attitude....you're right, you

  7. failed nursing students

    CuriousMe replied to vccorscc's topic in General Students

    Assumptions are dangerous things. Truly it was the attitude that came off, sounding like "I'd rather everyone else answer my question again than spend my time looking" that was objectionable. k...

  8. Nudity?

    CuriousMe replied to tlp514's topic in General Students

    Here I was thinking that some professional discretion (heck, not even professional discretion, how about adult discretion) was needed before posting. Just because YOUR program has an average of 30...

  9. Nudity?

    CuriousMe replied to tlp514's topic in General Students

    Really???? Even if you were joking (which I'm just going to assume you were).....really? yeah, it's not creepy at all for a 39 year-old man to post that he wants to spend time in a lab with mostly...

  10. Pre nursing vs nursing which one is more difficult?

    CuriousMe replied to European's topic in General Students

    As others have said, nothing in nursing school in of itself is all that difficult (pathophys has its moments, but nothing terrible).....the volume of material is intense. So, the material in both...

  11. Books every nursing student should own?

    CuriousMe replied to Servingshots's topic in General Students

    Sorry, I wasn't really trying to say the books weren't useful....I was more saying that no study aid is going to be a book that every nursing student should own. Peace,

  12. Nudity?

    CuriousMe replied to tlp514's topic in General Students

    What's a singlet? I googled it and all the links were about wrestling uniforms.....and I'm guessing you weren't required to wear a wrestling uniform Oh and we wore loose clothing with a sport's bra...

  13. Question with my concept map...

    CuriousMe replied to aaaa's topic in General Students

    Does she have a fat embolism? If so, where? Prioritization of nursing Dx's is important. Look for things that have the potential to end your patient's life

  14. failed nursing students

    CuriousMe replied to vccorscc's topic in General Students

    So, instead you'd prefer folks repeat themselves. My advice for nursing school, get used to researching your questions.....you'll need citations on just about everything you turn

  15. Books every nursing student should own?

    CuriousMe replied to Servingshots's topic in General Students

    I don't think there is a specific book that every nursing student should read. Study supplements are only useful when they supplement the gaps in a specific student's knowledge.....and goodness...

  16. Associates RN-BSN or straight BSN?? Which route to take???

    CuriousMe replied to RedHeadRN2b's topic in General Nursing

    Need to be careful with generalizations....in my area, the BS programs have more clinical time. To the OP: generalizations about types of programs aren't an effective way to make decisions. Look at...

  17. Help with first nursing skills exam!

    CuriousMe replied to foreverLaur's topic in General Students

    All these skills are for a prereq to nursing school? They seem to be nursing skills....what class is this? For skill checkoffs, the best thing I tried to do was just to slow down. Don't be in a...

  18. How do you wash your scrubs?

    CuriousMe replied to gumby1411's topic in General Students

    I'm tall as well, and my scrubs haven't turned into floods yet

  19. How do you wash your scrubs?

    CuriousMe replied to gumby1411's topic in General Students

    They haven't after 2+

  20. How do you wash your scrubs?

    CuriousMe replied to gumby1411's topic in General Students

    This is what I do as well. My scrubs are a dark color and I don't want them to fade. So I wash in cold with detergent and then dry on

  21. Posting advice: "I can't do this, ...I don't understand you"

    CuriousMe replied to cmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    Catholic school is no guarantee of anything. In my neighborhood, the Catholic school was the one students, who were already expelled from the public school, couldn't get kicked out of as long as...

  22. Posting advice: "I can't do this, ...I don't understand you"

    CuriousMe replied to cmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    It's contextual, those are standard medical abbreviations, and by the way the triangle is a chemistry abbreviation, it's delta, and is used to signify a change. As many different kinds of health care...

  23. OHSU BSN PDX program applicants - 2010

    CuriousMe replied to jtpdx's topic in Oregon Nursing

    There's a good chance that if you're going to be called, it will be in the end of June and classes start the last week of September. So, while it's possible to have a last minute call, it's not as...

  24. Be extra careful! Posting at internet sites: protect your identity

    CuriousMe replied to laynaER's topic in General Nursing

    While what you say is completely true, as someone who used to run enterprise-wide networks and e-mail systems......unless they're specifically looking for something (ie there's been a problem in the...

  25. Be extra careful! Posting at internet sites: protect your identity

    CuriousMe replied to laynaER's topic in General Nursing

    Even in a right to work state, and even when there are lots of nurses looking for work....it costs money to hire a new employee. What I had said is "all other things being equal," if they want you...
