  2. Care Plan ...I feel like im missing info so Im lost...PLEASE HELP

    CuriousMe replied to NecieK's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'd be careful about reading to much into it. It's that whole realworld/NCLEX world dilema :) Things that aren't listed: Post-op or not Intubated or not I'm with AggieNurse....I'd stick to your...

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

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

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

    CuriousMe replied to msteresa97's topic in General Students

    I'm assuming the reason it's listed a lot is that it's often the first course in nursing school.....so the first exposure to NCLEX style

  5. Grad Class Celebration

    CuriousMe replied to RescueNinja's topic in General Students

    It wasn't after graduation, but after our first year (precisely one hour after we finished our last final of the year) most of us...well 40+ of us out of just over 50 went white water rafting, then...

  6. Pathophysiology with Fundamental Concepts of Nursing

    CuriousMe replied to nurse4forever's topic in General Students

    If your program doesn't specifically list pathophysiology in the curriculum and doesn't require it as a pre-req....it's likely built into your nursing classes (as is pharmacology). There's no possible...

  7. Can diabetic educators be fat?

    CuriousMe replied to Heinz beans's topic in General Students

    So, is there anyone reading this thread that doesn't know that eating less calories and burning more calories will cause someone's weight to go down? Of course not, this topic is not about...

  8. Hi, I need assistance.

    CuriousMe replied to EduardoLugo's topic in General Students

    There was no mention of whether they only had BSN's or not, just that they at least had their BSN's (so no mention of what kind of programs they got their RN license in).....just what they noticed of...

  9. Hi, I need assistance.

    CuriousMe replied to EduardoLugo's topic in General Students

    OP, you're young and know that you eventually want your BS (and then grad school). I think there's a lot of value in you getting your BSN first and other than the chance of a hospital paying for your...

  10. Should I quit?

    CuriousMe replied to Lsugal731's topic in General Students

    Yes, please do see your school counselor. From your description, it sounds like it's a choice of withdrawal or failure. There's a lot to be said for withdrawing. If you did you could: -- Start...

  11. Please help- Dilemna - should I continue or switch programs

    CuriousMe replied to aurorasky's topic in General Students

    This is so true! After I've done my studying for exams, one of the last things I do is complete the corresponding section of my NCLEX books. It really helps me on my

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

    CuriousMe replied to msteresa97's topic in General Students

    I'd say it's a toss up between pathophysioloy I and pharmacology

  13. Care Plan ...I feel like im missing info so Im lost...PLEASE HELP

    CuriousMe replied to NecieK's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    right, so you'll want to go ahead and prioritize that one. As we don't know for sure that she's post-op, I don't think I'd put down risk for

  14. nursing vs medicine

    CuriousMe replied to kcerwniart's topic in General Students

    I'm also not sure how you attended one semester of nursing grad school if you don't have your RN. I understand that there are direct entry programs, but understood that the grad school part of that...

  15. Care Plan ...I feel like im missing info so Im lost...PLEASE HELP

    CuriousMe replied to NecieK's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Great job, you're on the right track!!! Of the three problems you identified....which, if it got much worse, would impact your patient's ability to sustain

  16. skirts to work

    CuriousMe replied to eternalbride's topic in General Nursing

    OP did you ever find out from the school you're hoping to attend in the Fall whether you'd be allowed to wear a skirt as part of your clinical

  17. Is 53k for school worth it?

    CuriousMe replied to Dragonsmack's topic in General Nursing

    There are school's I would contemplate attending if they had a tuition bill of $50,000 (this is not the same as saying I would take out $50,000 in loans....there are A LOT of ways to get financial...

  18. glut 2 and glut 5

    CuriousMe replied to lucy247's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what class the OP is in, but I was surprised by your comment. We learned about Glut 5 and Type II DM in patho for my BS nursing

  19. OHSU BSN PDX program applicants - 2010

    CuriousMe replied to jtpdx's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Even after I got in, they never updated the application. The system they use to track applications isn't tied to the system you use as a student....so they don't need to update it at

  20. OHSU BSN PDX program applicants - 2010

    CuriousMe replied to jtpdx's topic in Oregon Nursing

    That would be unusual. The Ashland campus generally has about a 30% acceptance rate. They also usually have the largest cohort size of the 5 campuses (over 50)......not sure how they decide to share...

  21. How far did you or are commuting to and from work/school?

    CuriousMe replied to luckystudentnurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'd look at how much that commute will cost in gas, then compare it to the cost of renting a room from someone to stay during the week. It would give you more time to focus on your studies and save...

  22. Is 53k for school worth it?

    CuriousMe replied to Dragonsmack's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, I think this will be difficult with any program that's not designed to be part time. I'd verify what they said with the the other programs in the

  23. Is 53k for school worth it?

    CuriousMe replied to Dragonsmack's topic in General Nursing

    I'd doubt them because I doubt a program would let you graduate to be an RN with just 180 hours of clinicals (I do about 150 clinical hours a term and my program is 9 terms long). Them saying that...

  24. Accelerated A&P at PSU

    CuriousMe replied to RunnerGirl09's topic in Oregon Nursing
