  1. ITT Tech's New Program???

    CuriousMe replied to Joyfull77's topic in Oregon Nursing

    ITT's nursing program here in Oregon is new. However, ITT Tech has a nationwide reputation that is less than stellar. Yes, ITT Tech opened a program up here because there's a lot of folks trying to...

  2. A Good Nursing School

    CuriousMe replied to Future Nurse31's topic in Florida Nursing

    So, you don't think that the nursing program itself brings anything to the table? Absolutely, no matter the quality of the program, one can only get out of a program what they put in. But I do think...

  3. Applicants to PDX area Nursing Schools 2010

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

    PT and nursing take the same patho class? I only ask because the course is generally a Patho for Nursing class....didn't know how applicable it would be for PT (which I'm assuming is physical therapy...

  4. Applicants to PDX area Nursing Schools 2010

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

    It will absolutely be doable, I don't think anyone is saying otherwise. I think folks are just commenting that this year might be a bumpier ride then future years will be at PCC. And that this is...

  5. Applicants to PDX area Nursing Schools 2010

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

    Everyone I've spoken with who has been in the first OCNE class at their school has said that it was turbulent. Even when they had another school's resources to fall back on....because the "other"...

  6. NCLEX 3500: Study software for NCLEX-RN

    CuriousMe replied to tgriffin888's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Isn't that software that costs a couple hundred bucks per license? Doesn't seem terribly legal to e-mail it around. In fact, it seems like software

  7. frustrated with "fluff" in my NP program

    CuriousMe replied to Grnrn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    We used that for my BS program, but I confess I quite liked it. What specifically haven't you been impressed with? Is there another text you like

  8. What do you think of this?

    CuriousMe replied to honeycakes55's topic in General Nursing

    yup, I read the article and The Problem and The Solution. But with hand sanitizer (most are alcohol based) I think it's an Occam's razor kind of thing....the simplest explanation is often the...

  9. What do you think of this?

    CuriousMe replied to honeycakes55's topic in General Nursing

    Have you considered that you just have a sensitivity to hand

  10. Applicants to PDX area Nursing Schools 2010

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

    You generally can't take them from OHSU, you can only take your nursing classes from them. The non-nursing classes at OHSU are generally a part of other programs....so just as the med student's can't...

  11. Applicants to PDX area Nursing Schools 2010

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

    sorry, not IvannabeeRN....but my program sometimes also has 9-10 credits of nursing credits a term.....and yes, for financial aid reasons I need to take an extra

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

    CuriousMe replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    They are testing synthesis and clinical judgement.... prioritization in canned

  13. When do/did you start clinicals?

    CuriousMe replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    Week

  14. Applicants to PDX area Nursing Schools 2010

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

    Actually for clinicals, you can't have more than 8 students for every instructor.....so you theory classes will likely be much larger, but you'll have a clinical group of 8 or

  15. Nurses, are you glad that Obamas Healthcare Bill Passed?

    CuriousMe replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, if you're going to say "by a large % of Americans" you'll need to give me a citation before I believe it's more than you and nialloh. Otherwise, it sounds like your perception of the...

  16. Can anyone give me an idea of how much financial aid I can receive?

    CuriousMe replied to leslie27's topic in General Nursing

    OP: your best bet is to speak with the financial aid office at the school you're looking to go to. The aid package you get is impacted by a lot of things, including when your application for aid was...

  17. Nurses, are you glad that Obamas Healthcare Bill Passed?

    CuriousMe replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Did you read her post? She didn't say she didn't read it, she was addressing the fact that YOU didn't read it, and was offering you a summary in case the original was overwhelming to you. Not sure...

  18. Can you get an RN degree online?

    CuriousMe replied to leamarie10's topic in School, College Programs

    Unless you intend to become a TX resident (so mailing address, taxes, voting, etc) you'd be committing fraud by stating that you were a resident. Not really the way you want to initiate your nursing...

  19. Health assessment HELP!!!!

    CuriousMe replied to cdmartinez09's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Sorry, as it's unlikely you were assigned this today. Best of luck on your

  20. People think you are rich because you are a nurse

    CuriousMe replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Rich is a relative term. When I was in my 20's, I did a lot of international travel to some very "out of the way" kinds of places. I'd often have folks panhandle for money, telling me how rich I...

  21. People think you are rich because you are a nurse

    CuriousMe replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    OP: think of it this way. Giving them money is NOT helping them. The best way to help them, is to make them help themselves. Giving them money might make you feel better.....but it actually hurts...

  22. Am I crazy?

    CuriousMe replied to yogamom's topic in Oregon Nursing

    If you graduated from MHCC (as opposed to the option where you just transfer into OHSU) then you would have a transcript from MHCC and then a transcript for your RN-BS year at OHSU. If you...

  23. Applicants to PDX area Nursing Schools 2010

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

    As someone who's in a nursing program, my best advice to you is to find a Prof who is known to be really challenging and take the full series of A&P again. You are not doing yourself any favors...

  24. Am I crazy?

    CuriousMe replied to yogamom's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Obviously, it's just one element (I've also been asked things like my GPA, etc. --although with a high GPA many schools' are waving the GRE). I'll take any help I can get

  25. Am I crazy?

    CuriousMe replied to yogamom's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I've been told that top-tiered grad schools look at where you did your undergrad. In fact as I now speak with grad schools, where I did my undergrad is often a question that admission folks ask
