  1. OHSU BSN PDX program applicants - 2010

    CuriousMe replied to jtpdx's topic in Oregon Nursing

    You might consider just going ahead and taking care of your immunizations and such. It can't hurt. Most alternates find out pretty close to the deadline folks have to send their intention to attend...

  2. Question for OHSU Ashland BSN Students

    CuriousMe replied to punkdmunkey's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hi Kwamfan, I'm not sure I understand your question. Clinicals are generally not in Ashland (they might be in Medford or Grants Pass), but the program is centered down here for all three years,...

  3. What is so difficult about nursing school?

    CuriousMe replied to zbb13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm just finishing my junior year of a 3 year program (BS program). I agree with most of what you've said....except for the above part. I'm not sure who told you that material for the Bachelor's...

  4. Called into the office, told I'm a slob.

    CuriousMe replied to danceswithsnakes's topic in General Nursing

    How do you know they didn't say anything to anyone else? In any case, they did say something to you, so it seems that you can take some of the great advice given here, or be spoken to again and/or let...

  5. What do you wear to class?

    CuriousMe replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    We wear our clinical scrubs or professional dress with a labcoat for clinicals, but for classroom we can where whatever we like. That ranges from sweats to dresses in my

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

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

    It wouldn't be in my program, even if you had all your non-nursing classes complete, because each term's classes are dependent on the classes before. So, there's no way to "double-up." Everyone that...

  7. What is so difficult about nursing school?

    CuriousMe replied to zbb13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There's no one thing that is terribly difficult (although pathophys had it's moments) as other's have said.....it's the volume of work. At the end of our sophomore year, we were taking three nursing...

  8. online BSN programs

    CuriousMe replied to aflac381's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Without an extensive clinical background (LPN, paramedic, etc) I don't think that there are pre-licensure BSN nursing programs online. Once you have your RN (with an ADN or diploma), there are...

  9. OHSU BSN PDX program applicants - 2010

    CuriousMe replied to jtpdx's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I sent you a private message....seems a bit mean to have this conversation here while folks are still waiting to hear. Peace,

  10. OHSU BSN PDX program applicants - 2010

    CuriousMe replied to jtpdx's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I'm a junior in the Ashland program. I just wanted to let you know that quite a few of my friends, who are in the program with me now, were alternates. Don't give up hope!! and Congrats on getting...

  11. skirts to work

    CuriousMe replied to eternalbride's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed, that doesn't seem to be the case in this instance

  12. Are online NP programs good for the profession??

    CuriousMe replied to gerry79's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It's amusing how different we all are. My ADD starts firing on all cylinders when I have to watch recored lectures. My brain just turns off and I need to watch the dang thing over and over and over...

  13. skirts to work

    CuriousMe replied to eternalbride's topic in General Nursing

    I'd find out for sure. I know there wasn't a skirt option in our clinical

  14. Applicants to PDX area Nursing Schools 2010

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

    As evidence that different folks have different experiences :) I had the opportunity to go to an OCNE CC or to OHSU. I chose OHSU and I'm so happy I did. We do write papers, but we also have plenty...

  15. OHSU BSN PDX program applicants - 2010

    CuriousMe replied to jtpdx's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I'm a current Ashland student and I was not notified by e-mail or phone call before receiving my letter. Hang in

  16. Applicants to PDX area Nursing Schools 2010

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

    I figured out all the schools I was interested in and then I made a speadsheet with all the Prereqs for each one. That way, I could see which ones were the closest to each other....basically so I...

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

    CuriousMe replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Well yeah, but that goes both ways. I spent close to ten years living in a painfully conservative community. Needless to say, my voice was not heard at the polls. That's just the way the cookie...

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

    CuriousMe replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I voted yes. Many have said that we can't afford this....we can't afford what we have now which is folks getting substandard care for a heck of a lot of money. Instead of folks having insurance and...

  19. Any courses of benefit that I could add to my RN-BSN?

    CuriousMe replied to Bumashes's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know where you're getting your BS, but see if you can get a minor in a non-nursing field. I'm working on a minor in chemistry, classmates of mine are working on minors in psych. You might...

  20. What nursing class at your school has the most failure rate?

    CuriousMe replied to msteresa97's topic in General Students

    I've predominantly seen programs that require two years of prereqs and then two years of program or one year of prereqs and 3 years of program (the program I chose is the latter). Students can do the...

  21. What nursing class at your school has the most failure rate?

    CuriousMe replied to msteresa97's topic in General Students

    Interesting, all the BS programs I looked at didn't admit students in to the program until they finished their prereq

  22. What nursing class at your school has the most failure rate?

    CuriousMe replied to msteresa97's topic in General Students

    Wow, I've never head of a program that had A&P as part of the program, I'm used to seeing it as a

  23. Can diabetic educators be fat?

    CuriousMe replied to Heinz beans's topic in General Students

    Yes, I'm smelling Troll as well...so be

  24. How many of your schools require a pharmacology class?

    CuriousMe replied to Coruscatedgirl's topic in General Students

    I'm sure that all nursing programs which allow you to sit for the NCLEX-RN at the end of it (no matter the degree you attained) require you to learn pharmacology. What differs is how they present...

  25. Can diabetic educators be fat?

    CuriousMe replied to Heinz beans's topic in General Students

    Oh good, as long as we're not being judgmental and mean about
