  1. just starting toward nursing a few desperate questions.

    CuriousMe replied to airforcewife2000's topic in General Students

    I have multiple learning disabilities. I do receive testing accommodations through my university. Each school should have a student disabilities office.....contact yours. They'll be able to help...

  2. What the heck is up with nursing school tests??!!

    CuriousMe replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    I'm in a BS program.....and it depends on the term. So, as an example, last spring term, we had 3 classes. Pathophysiology for 3 credits, pharmacology for 3 credits, and Acute Care I for 6 credits...

  3. Schools with Good Financial Aid Packages

    CuriousMe replied to jiwonkim89's topic in General Students

    I think you're smart to be looking at prestigious schools as well and not counting them out for cost. As you know....you won't know the true cost until you see the financial aid package. Best of luck...

  4. What the heck is up with nursing school tests??!!

    CuriousMe replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    I'm entering the last term of my second year (so 6th term). Nursing school exams are tough...no doubt. As far as typos and such that impede your ability to understand the question....are you not...

  5. help with scenerio math

    CuriousMe replied to marytexas's topic in General Students

    Folks might be more willing to share answers if you walked through what you think the answers are and how you got there. That way folks can either confirm your answers....or help you see where you...

  6. If you had a choice between 2 year community, or a university....

    CuriousMe replied to Lala27poodles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When did you

  7. I need advice on building confidence.

    CuriousMe replied to busyallthetime's topic in General Students

    I'm definitely not a "young" college student. But I look at it differently than you I think. I have all the reason in the world to have more confidence than the young'ens. I have loads of life...

  8. Abusive and Cruel Clinical Instructors: Why??

    CuriousMe replied to sallber's topic in General Students

    I agree with marty601. Start thinking less about "liking" or not (because it's really not about whether your instructor wants to sit and have coffee with you to shoot the breeze, they're judging...

  9. If you speak your mind will you get a bad assignment? Come on..come clean!

    CuriousMe replied to Airbrushguy's topic in General Nursing

    none of us live in fairy land, but isn't it common to hear more about when things are going wrong? how many people are motivated to create a post just to state how healthy their work environment is...

  10. If you speak your mind will you get a bad assignment? Come on..come clean!

    CuriousMe replied to Airbrushguy's topic in General Nursing

    So, your girlfriend has issues with confrontation....how surprising is it that she would choose friends who also choose to not confront. There's a reason that anecdotal evidence is the weakest form...

  11. Can a shy person become a good nurse?

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

    Who "suggested" this to you. Did they give you any constructive advice as to how to build up any skills that you might need more practice with? Or did they just hand you a judgement from on high?...

  12. How many times did you have to take A & P to get your "A" grade?

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

    While it is of course possible that you are a very well balanced learner....I'd Google for a different learning styles quiz. There are loads of them out there and they all have a slightly different...

  13. Embarrassed for Having Good Grades?

    CuriousMe replied to •M♥J•'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think anyone worked to get into nursing school to make friends....truly, there are far easier ways to make friends! That being said, if the folks in your program allow both, bonus!! But, if...

  14. How many times did you have to take A & P to get your "A" grade?

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

    Have you ever figured out what your learning style is? There are all sorts of online quizzes that will guide you in the right direction. I only ask because some folks learn well visually, some by...

  15. If you speak your mind will you get a bad assignment? Come on..come clean!

    CuriousMe replied to Airbrushguy's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, can't quite buy that hearing the vent of a loved one for 10 years gives you credentials for being "in the know." You're right, that if we were talking about Mcdonald's it would....but even my...

  16. If you speak your mind will you get a bad assignment? Come on..come clean!

    CuriousMe replied to Airbrushguy's topic in General Nursing

    certainly you can understand the resistance. you show up here, don't know any of us from hole in the wall, and explain that you know that we're lemmings and that we're not sentient (limited as our...

  17. Anyone apply to Linfield, OHSU, LCC (Portland / Eugene) for 2010 start (summer/fall)?

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

    There's a big thread going on in the Oregon forum about acceptances for OHSU.....not sure about Linfield and LCC though. Best of

  18. Would you guys recommend taking Micro or Anatomy/Phys first?

    CuriousMe replied to futureRN-BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd say A&P first as an understanding of the immune system might help in

  19. If you speak your mind will you get a bad assignment? Come on..come clean!

    CuriousMe replied to Airbrushguy's topic in General Nursing

    or....you know about one person's

  20. HELP please! HTN/DM

    CuriousMe replied to krltdy's topic in General Students

    Hmmm, I'll have to look that up. At a guess I'd say it would be tough to say which condition was primary and which was secondary since they both stem from similar lifestyle choices. Edit: Hmmm....I...

  21. HELP please! HTN/DM

    CuriousMe replied to krltdy's topic in General Students

    I've never heard of HTN being a sign of Type II DM. We learned the S/S of DM (I or II) being polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia. (we had to take cell bio and patho :) ) The only sign I know of for DM...

  22. Standardization of nursing students uniform

    CuriousMe replied to ryna's topic in General Students

    What would be the advantage? Professions don't even have a standardized uniform nationally, what would be the use of nationally standardized student

  23. Online Pre Reqs?

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

    Well, not quite. Anyone could work at the hospital (if qualified of course....but they are qualifications that can be earned...not the situation you were born into)....there are specific requirements...

  24. Aspirins and NASAIDs

    CuriousMe replied to prdangelo665's topic in General Students

    Well by the strictest of definitions, aspirin is non-steroidal, and it is an anti-inflammatory. So in that respect, it is an NSAID. However, it also decreases platelet aggregation....which is...

  25. If you speak your mind will you get a bad assignment? Come on..come clean!

    CuriousMe replied to Airbrushguy's topic in General Nursing
