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

    CuriousMe replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, whether you're "rich" or not isn't the issue. You could be Bill bloody Gates....it's your money, not theirs and they have no automatic claim to it. It sounds like the kindest thing you can...

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

  5. Can you get an RN degree online?

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

  7. How much math and chemistry do nurses use on a daily basis?

    CuriousMe replied to TheRaven's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You may not be figuring out: (x+4)^2=-36......but you could very likely be figuring out: 8mg x 40,000 units/10mg x 1mL/15,000,000 units= While it's true that automatic BP machines are widely...

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

    CuriousMe replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    So, only the wealthy should have children? Really? Because there are large sections of the middle class that can't afford health insurance. There have been political movements throughout history...

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

    CuriousMe replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmmm....the folks I was speaking of (remember my post just above, the one you replied to) the working poor....yeah, they have a job already. They're using all $8/hr they get paid to do it to pay for...

  12. How much math and chemistry do nurses use on a daily basis?

    CuriousMe replied to TheRaven's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    At the hospitals in my area, the dose is generally calculated in the EMR (electronic medical record), and the correct dose of the drug is in the PYXIS. However, I've caught errors between the MD's...

  15. Recent Curiosities Since ER Visit.

  16. Is HESI a good Judge for the N-Clex success?

    CuriousMe replied to OCD_Mom's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    3 times before graduation.....they start like 3 months before graduation. After graduation, you can continue to take it....at your own expense....and you have a year to pass

  17. Is it possible to earn BSN in 3 years?

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

    Is that including pre-requisites? I think the OP is looking to complete all college coursework (Gen ed and nursing classes) in three

  18. What purpose does the HESI test serve?

    CuriousMe replied to fencikboy's topic in General Students

    I posted this in another thread, but I'll say it again here. While it is of course true that denying graduation to students who don't pass a final HESI does protect the school's NCLEX %. From my...

  19. Which one to take 1st?

    CuriousMe replied to nursingstudent221's topic in General Students

    I don't think it matters a whole lot....but you'll use some chemistry in your biology class (whereas it's unlikely you'll use any biology in your chemistry class). So, all other things being...

  20. Done with my GE now im stuck?

    CuriousMe replied to LadyStudent's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't know your situation, but you only speak of one BSN program. Have you looked outside your area? It might be worth it to move away for 2-3 years and get your

  21. Should I take chemistry?

    CuriousMe replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well geesh, show me someone who isn't scared about the unknown. I think that fear keeps you focussed. The other thing to keep in mind is that you're not the same person who went to school so long...

    CuriousMe replied to TheRaven's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Chemistry is the basis for cell biology and ultimately physiology. So, while you may not be using "chemistry" everyday....it is necessary to understand some chemistry fundamentals in order to learn...

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

    CuriousMe replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    So, for folks who don't have access to anything more than the emergency room....just tell them, "hang on, we're getting to you."? EXACTLY!! The reason they're going to the ER is that they don't...

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

    CuriousMe replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    The cost is not just coming from inefficiency. The cost is coming from keeping the status quo of the system (institutions have to make a profit). We're at a stage of innovation now in which...

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

    CuriousMe replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing
