  1. personal question re platelet donation and potential side effects

    CuriousMe replied to LiveYourDream's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's more likely you had a reaction to the anticoagulant they give when they do returns cycles (makes my lips numb and tingly). In places I've donated they give you under 500cc's of NS at...

  2. How important is GPA while in Nursing school?

    CuriousMe replied to AcousticFoodie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Wow! Good thing you didn't use any sweeping

  3. Is It Bad To Ask For Help When Caring For a Heavy Patient?

    CuriousMe replied to HappyMeNow's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I think it's bad to NOT ask for help to move a patient who is to heavy for you. Trying to move someone who is to heavy can definitely result in you getting hurt....but depending on how...

  4. Just a rant

    CuriousMe replied to cicatrixx15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know it seems anal now.....but you're going to be very happy that you know the definitions to all those words in nursing

  5. Gearing up for NS

    CuriousMe replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Students

    That makes a lot more sense. I misunderstood and thought that you were just taking upper level liberal arts courses in year 4....hence my confusion. It actually is pretty close to our curriculum....

  6. They are closing my nursing program

    CuriousMe replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    The OP graduated last year (stated in her first post). But I am curious what they're going to do for the current

  7. Math Disability

    CuriousMe replied to my4helpers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did the full year of Gen Chem and it seems that more often than not, our homework and exams were all equations. So, with a base line of doing some dimensional analysis before doing most of this,...

  8. Gearing up for NS

    CuriousMe replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Students

    Interesting....so you don't complete any more nursing classes in your 4th year? It's interesting to see other programs. Mine is a BS in nursing program, and we have one year of pre-reqs then 3...

  9. States Who Have Banned HESI

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

    Is there independent research at all though? It just doesn't seem to be the kind of thing folks are clamoring to study... How common is it really for a student with a high GPA to not pass the NCLEX?...

  10. question about CPR certification

    CuriousMe replied to sans33's topic in General Students

    AHA Online CPR is just the didactic portion of the class. In order to get the card, you need to demonstrate the skills for an AHA instructor

  11. They are closing my nursing program

    CuriousMe replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry your program is being cut, that's lousy. I just wanted to say that while theater art isn't going to save anyone's life.....it's far cheaper to run a theater art program than a nursing...

  12. Stem Cell: Nursing Case Study----Please Help...:(

    CuriousMe replied to dobletruble's topic in General Students

    There's generally a feeling here that folks don't want to do an assignment for someone else....but are happy to help. Which is likely why Silverdragon asked for your thoughts on this....if you shared...

  13. Is it too late to become a nurse?

    CuriousMe replied to Alexbor's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have a nursing program in your area that has classes/clinicals evenings and weekends? Don't worry about the age thing, with prereqs (I'm assuming that you didn't take Human Anatomy &...

  14. feeling so stupid....

    CuriousMe replied to LuvPedsNrsg's topic in General Nursing

    I'd also spend time, outside of the PICU, studying the topics that you feel she asks about and work on being more prepared for her

  15. Quick tips for nursing students

    CuriousMe replied to annaRNC's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, I'm in the second year of a three year program and most of those behaviors would get us sent home from clinical. I'd talk to the clinical instructor so they can have a bit of a "Come to...

  16. What do you hate the most about nursing school?

    CuriousMe replied to Jewl's topic in General Students

    Why on earth would someone else not taking a break bother

  17. Can someone please help me answer this question?

    CuriousMe replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in General Students

    So, is this question from an exam you've finished? Or from an online exam you're still working

  18. So do you think this is fair?

    CuriousMe replied to sneakymom2011's topic in General Students

    What do you think would have been a more "fair" way to handle it (keeping in mind that you do need to finish the term with X amount of clinical

  19. how to report a teacher to the BRN?

    CuriousMe replied to scibruin's topic in General Students

    Yet you obviously did think you "could get away with it." If there was a reasonable reason for the exception...it seems like it would have been a simple thing to speak with the instructor at the...

  20. oxytocin and dehydration

    CuriousMe replied to hvnzangel99's topic in General Students

    Off the top of my head, I don't know of dehydration as being a contraindication for oxytocin (I'd have to research that). However, I would assume that someone admitted 2 days ago, who is otherwise...

  21. oxytocin and dehydration

    CuriousMe replied to hvnzangel99's topic in General Students

    The patient is still dehydrated after being admitted for two days? Has she not been on IV fluids? If not why was she

  22. Nurse Practitioner or Physician's Assistant?

    CuriousMe replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in the second year of a three year BS nursing program. If I ever answered my Prof's question of, "What is meterprolol?" with, "it's a blood pressure pill"...I can only imagine I'd be writing a...

  23. How important is GPA while in Nursing school?

    CuriousMe replied to AcousticFoodie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm not upset (I'm assuming that's what you were speaking about with the taking things personally comment). But I do speak from my personal perspective. I didn't know that you're post was a...

  24. How important is GPA while in Nursing school?

    CuriousMe replied to AcousticFoodie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't think that there is cheating in my program (yes, I know...you think I have blinders on....we'll have to agree to disagree....since I'm in my program and you're not). Well, there was a...

  25. How important is GPA while in Nursing school?

    CuriousMe replied to AcousticFoodie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Just to make sure I understand your point.....GPA's shouldn't be used because you think people in your program
