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

    CuriousMe replied to cmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    Slammed?!??! Ok, I guess we'll chalk that up to a difference of perception. I agree though, that "ya know" and "gonna" aren't terribly appropriate when your communicating with people you don't know...

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

    CuriousMe replied to laynaER's topic in General Nursing

    That's my point though, you wouldn't have to sue them, they would have to sue you. They would have to initiate legal action in order to get a subpoena to find out your screen name, and in order to do...

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

    CuriousMe replied to laynaER's topic in General Nursing

    But they couldn't have a "hunch" it was you, they would have to be able to prove it was you. Short sending a subpoena to AN Administration, there'd be no way to do that. Truthfully though, that's not...

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

    CuriousMe replied to laynaER's topic in General Nursing

    While I don't post my personal information here, there's nothing I've said here that I wouldn't say face-to-face. So, I'm not overly concerned if someone finds out my true

  5. Anyone else stressed?

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

    Playing the "what if" game has it's purposes (I'm a big fan of a plan b, c, d, etc)....however, if you're getting to the point where the "what ifs" are slowing you down....you just need to look past...

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

    CuriousMe replied to cmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    Hateful? That's a strong word. If you feel someone has violated TOS, than by all means report the post. Generalized accusations of being hateful, just seems a way to stir the

  7. WANTED: Nursing student tidbits of advice

    CuriousMe replied to KellRrn2b's topic in General Students

    I like these: REI Midweight Long-Sleeve V-Neck - Women's at REI.com although I often get the men's since I like a crew neck better than a v, under my scrubs. They're a bit spendy, but I've used the...

  8. part-time accelerated programs

    CuriousMe replied to smallwonders07's topic in General Students

    Other than the pace, what makes an accelerated program accelerated, is that only nursing classes are required. If you have a bachelors in something else, most of the non-nursing classes for a BSN...

  9. How much did you pay for books your first year?

    CuriousMe replied to sch1109's topic in General Students

    Books are one of the budget items on my financial aid from school, so I used that money to buy my books. The only negative of this, is that I only get that money the first day of class, so there's no...

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

    CuriousMe replied to cmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    What is appropriate is contextual. Text speak is appropriate when texting. Using abbreviations on a bulletin board (like All Nurses) that are common to bulletin boards (like BB) is also appropriate....

  11. Patient 'found' my number on the internet...

    CuriousMe replied to Da_Milk_of_Amnesia's topic in General Nursing

    That's kind of the point, folks weren't very respectful of the OP, and while he asked for advice....he didn't ask for a criticism of his familial communication

  12. WANTED: Nursing student tidbits of advice

    CuriousMe replied to KellRrn2b's topic in General Students

    While I admire your ingenuity, have you tried a really good quality, long sleeve, hiking undershirt? They often call them base layers. I recommend this only because I'm someone who gets warm very...

  13. please help critique my resume!!!

    CuriousMe replied to SuperStudentNurse's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks for your feedback LaynaER, I've heard the 10 year thing as well and do that. But with academics/research opportunities, honors, and work experience (even cherry picking from the last ten years...

  14. please help critique my resume!!!

    CuriousMe replied to SuperStudentNurse's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm curious, I see that the OP has received advice to keep her resume to one page. How on earth is that possible with a 20 year work history (obviously the OP doesn't have this, just asking a resume...

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

    CuriousMe replied to cmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    No one's perfect, but her post is readable! Too many here aren't. The posts that are the most difficult to read are filled with text speak, so it's unlikely that the reason it's unreadable is a...

  16. Patient 'found' my number on the internet...

    CuriousMe replied to Da_Milk_of_Amnesia's topic in General Nursing

    i know it's out there, but it still surprises me when i see

  17. Patient 'found' my number on the internet...

    CuriousMe replied to Da_Milk_of_Amnesia's topic in General Nursing

    From your comments, it doesn't seem you think much of your gender. Sad, very sad

  18. Patient 'found' my number on the internet...

    CuriousMe replied to Da_Milk_of_Amnesia's topic in General Nursing

    What?!?!??! Because they cursed and didn't confront the caller they're acting like a female?? And, since you think they're acting "worse" than a female....please tell me how a "female" acts that is a...

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

    CuriousMe replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

    They don't charge everyone. Folks are treated in the ED, that are not charged and don't have medicare/medicaid. Many are often non-profit organizations and could be funded (at least in part) by a...

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

    CuriousMe replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

    Is a hospital legally considered a "place of

  21. Patient 'found' my number on the internet...

    CuriousMe replied to Da_Milk_of_Amnesia's topic in General Nursing

    The local hospitals don't require I give anything more than my first name and last initial (which is what is on everyone's badge)....so that's all the information I give. There's no law or policy that...

  22. Patient 'found' my number on the internet...

    CuriousMe replied to Da_Milk_of_Amnesia's topic in General Nursing

    What right do they have to my last name? My badge doesn't even have my last name on

  23. Facebook Policy

    CuriousMe replied to nkochrn's topic in General Nursing

    I guess there could be concerns if your profile isn't closed to everyone except friends. I would have no more concern about putting on my FB page that I'm gone all weekend, than I would if I said it...

  24. Patient 'found' my number on the internet...

    CuriousMe replied to Da_Milk_of_Amnesia's topic in General Nursing

    How on earth did they continue to get your cell number? Cell numbers aren't published in phone

  25. So, im failing chemistry....am i cut for nursing?

    CuriousMe replied to rayne215's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can do it....the first thing you need to do is to stop telling yourself that you're not good in math. Everyone can do basic math (which is most of the math you're likely doing in chemistry). I...
