  1. Applicants to PDX area Nursing Schools 2010

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

    I did the same thing in preparing for my OHSU and LCC essay, and it worked for me. I think spending time writing out some of my experiences made it easier to really get my points across on the real...

  2. Taking BP's - Use Diaphragm or Bell?

    CuriousMe replied to j_tay1981's topic in General Nursing

    This is what I was taught as

  3. skirts to work

    CuriousMe replied to eternalbride's topic in General Nursing

    Once you're working with your own licence I can't imagine there would be a problem. But I know that skirts weren't an option for our clinical uniform (specific color scrubs with school patch on left...

  4. Anything less than 4.0 GPA won't qualify for nursing?

    CuriousMe replied to kmdguy's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Another option to consider is to apply directly to OHSU. Unlike the community colleges, you submit your proctored essay along with your application. Don't think that because you were in a different...

  5. immunizations

    CuriousMe replied to Bent's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Have you called your health department? If you're in school this term, or were last term many times your college health clinic will give inexpensive immunizations or PPD's. As an example, the PPD at...

  6. Hugs to you floor nurses

    CuriousMe replied to frann's topic in General Nursing

  7. How important is GPA while in Nursing school?

    CuriousMe replied to AcousticFoodie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    ...and that may be true. My concern is that I want to get a job and then a seat in a grad program after that degree. I'll keep working towards

  8. Annoying and disruptive classmates (vent)

    CuriousMe replied to 2blessings's topic in General Students

    Sorry, you walked in to this yourself....no dragging. If you didn't want to be involved you woudn't have posted the first passive aggressive post. Still don't understand what a "holier than thou"...

  9. is it hard to transfer nursing school from liberal arts major?

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

    Sometimes state schools give preference to in-state students, some don't. I have heard of a few private schools that give an advantage to students who do their prerequisite classes at the school, but...

  10. Test Questions, your thoughts?

    CuriousMe replied to peytonsmom's topic in General Students

    Maybe they were looking for 2 complications that would effect any of the 4 extremities....not just the

  11. Advice needed. I don't know how to fix this.

    CuriousMe replied to wifeandmomoftwo's topic in General Students

    above bolding is mine for emphasis LOL! That's fantastic, I'm so going to use that in the future! Thank you for

  12. When drawing push meds, do you draw the med first?

    CuriousMe replied to anangelsmommy's topic in General Nursing

    This is what we do as

  13. Alternates ..why not just give them a number??

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

    Uhmmm....that's not what livetoserve said. They said, that the number is constantly changing because the folks ahead on the list have decided on another program. So, you might have been #10 for a...

  14. States Who Have Banned HESI

    CuriousMe replied to Decemberblues's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Ultimately I can only see the possibility of the bolded section happening if the HESI was used as a final exam for each course....not as an exit exam. Since all the material that HESI tests on should...

  15. States Who Have Banned HESI

    CuriousMe replied to Decemberblues's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    ...ah.... someone who is obviously prone to making

  16. Applicants to PDX area Nursing Schools 2010

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

    i know that ohsu weights the essay quite a bit....so, i don't think the point system is a clear cut as the ocne

  17. Help needed on analyse health info assessment case study

    CuriousMe replied to MissDilini's topic in General Students

    I don't think definitions of assessment data and nursing interventions are going to be terribly useful for you. What would be more helpful is to find out exactly what information your Prof is looking...

  18. Alternates ..why not just give them a number??

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

    I think livetoserve has the right idea. They can't tell a specific number, because it's a moving target. The number a person is when the letters are sent out, might only be accurate for a couple...

  19. question about CPR certification

    CuriousMe replied to sans33's topic in General Students

    Definitely be careful. I know my school requires either American Heart Association BLS or Red Cross CPR for Healthcare Professionals. None others are

    CuriousMe replied to Decemberblues's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    So, anyone who thinks an exit exam is just a part of the curriculum....they automatically lack

  21. States Who Have Banned HESI

    CuriousMe replied to Decemberblues's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Sorry, wasn't saying that you started the thread. This isn't the first thread complaining about folks having to take an exit

  22. States Who Have Banned HESI

    CuriousMe replied to Decemberblues's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Being annoyed that folks need to pass an exit exam gives you integrity?? We must have very different definitions of

  23. States Who Have Banned HESI

    CuriousMe replied to Decemberblues's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    The HESI I knew about.....the 30+ page psychosocial assessment was a surprise. In spite of my surprise, I didn't create a thread on AllNurses about the unfairness of the assignment.... I knew that my...

  24. States Who Have Banned HESI

    CuriousMe replied to Decemberblues's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Did you ask? They didn't tell me I was going to have to write a 30+ page psychosocial evaluation either...but they would have if I asked. If prospective nursing students really don't want to take an...

  25. States Who Have Banned HESI

    CuriousMe replied to Decemberblues's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    No two programs have the exact same requirements. Some programs include pathophysiology into the curriculum, others consider it a pre-req class others a coreq. Is it unfair that folks who have...
