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

    CuriousMe replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    So, we shouldn't try anymore? We should just pick up our toys and go home? Medicare isn't as efficient as it needs to be so there's no way the government can be involved in a working health care...

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

    CuriousMe replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    sure, just as soon as someone comes up with just one thing that private industry has controlled that has worked perfectly? now if we're talking about working, and not working perfectly....well we have...

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

    CuriousMe replied to OCD_Mom's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm not a senior yet (one more year!), but from what I've heard from friends, I think they actually plan for students to need to take it at least twice. I don't know how many pass it after the first...

  4. Curiosity

    CuriousMe replied to KinshuKiba's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm happy to say the curriculum in my school is different (I'm in a BS program). We spent quite a lot of time speaking about the pathophysiology of addiction, the neural pathways involved and even...

  5. A FUMING MAD VENT!

    CuriousMe replied to naenae1979's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you considered that they haven't judged that you "haven't got what it takes" but have just judged that there were other applicants who had a stronger application than you did? I agree with the...

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

    CuriousMe replied to OCD_Mom's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I know at my school HESI remediation is part of the package for the exit exam. So, if someone doesn't do well the first time, they go through the remediation coursework and then take it again....

  7. Should I take chemistry?

    CuriousMe replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Dimensional Analysis (DA) is just a fancy name for unit conversion....but yes do make sure to learn it (although I can't imagine a chem class that doesn't cover it). I completely agree....it is the...

  8. How did you cover your medical insurace requirement?

    CuriousMe replied to puravidaLV's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have the school's plan as well. It's hard to get a less expensive plan with the same coverage since it's a group plan....and as you said, it's part of my financial aid budget....so is covered that...

  9. Acid/Base Balance Question

    CuriousMe replied to Faye1's topic in General Students

    You have the right idea, but your answer was stated wrong. It's not respiratory acidosis.... because the pH is not low enough to be considered acidosis. But, because we can look at the CO2 and HCO3...

  10. What did you take away from your ADN to BSN program

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

    I'm curious (really just curious--there's a very concrete reason I chose my screen name-- I'm in a BS program now, so I'll never participate in an RN-BS program). Those of you that are unhappy with...

  12. Am I crazy?

    CuriousMe replied to yogamom's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I curious about the small group discussion each week? It sounds like clinical seminar (I'm an OHSU student). We have an hour meeting each week with our clinical group (8 people and the professor)...

  13. Am I crazy?

    CuriousMe replied to yogamom's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Additionally, one of my Prof.'s told me that OHSU tuition will not be increasing next

  14. OHSU BSN PDX program applicants - 2010

    CuriousMe replied to jtpdx's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Sorry, I have no experience with specifics to the Portland campus. I think there is a link on the OHSU site that lists clinical sites for each campus....that might help a bit? I agree that it's...

  15. smokers

    CuriousMe replied to getoverit's topic in General Nursing

    Covering up the smell doesn't stop the chemicals that are on your clothing and in your hair from triggering an asthmatic response....in fact, I'm likely to react faster because I'll react to the...

  16. smokers

    CuriousMe replied to getoverit's topic in General Nursing

    Because smelling someone's bacon-cheeseburger doesn't instigate an asthma attack for

  17. OHSU BSN PDX program applicants - 2010

    CuriousMe replied to jtpdx's topic in Oregon Nursing

    CuriousMe replied to jtpdx's topic in Oregon Nursing

  19. How does youe school hold registration for nursing classes?

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

    That's how the rest of out university does it....but with our nursing classes we're sent the CRN's of what we need to take each time. We don't always have a choice of which clinical group we're...

  20. How does youe school hold registration for nursing classes?

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

    We register over the internet and it's first come, first serve. So if we really want a specific clinical slot....we better register at 0400 when the registration site

  21. difference between cardiac tamponade and pericarditis?

    CuriousMe replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    My understanding (and I could be wrong) is that pericarditis is the inflamation of the pericardium. This is most often caused by infection (although can be caused by trauma, drug reaction or other...

  22. Applicants to PDX area Nursing Schools 2010

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

  23. Second year of nursing school harder/easier

    CuriousMe replied to Waiting222's topic in General Students

  24. Question for OHSU Ashland BSN Students

    CuriousMe replied to punkdmunkey's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hi Zatoichi, Honestly, I love the program. I was accepted to an OCNE CC as well, and I'm so glad I came here. I promise, I'm not a paid spokesperson or anything ....but I really do love the program....

  25. OHSU BSN PDX program applicants - 2010

    CuriousMe replied to jtpdx's topic in Oregon Nursing

    First term isn't so bad time-wise (once you move past the deer-in-headlights stage of feeling completely overwhelmed). But I would be cautious about working to many hours during Winter and Spring of...
