  1. Online Pre Reqs?

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

    I think everyone understands that these students were registering early because they're in a program....I think the point being made is that he didn't think it was fair that folks in those programs...

  2. Informal Critical Care Clinical Rotation Survey

    CuriousMe replied to TheSquire's topic in General Students

    I had two clinical days in the ICU (we're generally in Med-surg, but spend several days a term in specialty areas). I was allowed...well expected, to do everything I could for the patient. There...

    CuriousMe replied to onthisjourney4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh sorry....I should have mentioned that this was a couple years ago, I'm finishing up the second year of my 3 year BS program. So, yes I did decide which one :-) Truly, as soon as I got both, I...

  4. How many schools?

    CuriousMe replied to onthisjourney4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My original plan was to apply to all the schools that I could. But, once I started going through the applications and looking at the different programs and saw how much it would cost to apply...

  5. Embarrassed for Having Good Grades?

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

    I know what the OP means, it's not ragging on as much as it is minimizing it. For example statements like, "Well of course you got an A, you're a brainiac." or any statement that implies you lucked...

  6. Why does a college want to know my "local newspaper" name?

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

    A Press Release don't cost them money (other than staff time to write it, and I assume they're templates). What they gain is press. Getting their name out there for positive reasons. Guaranteed that...

  10. Why does a college want to know my "local newspaper" name?

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

  11. Embarrassed for Having Good Grades?

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

    I generally just say, "I'm happy with my grade, how about you, are did you get the grade you wanted?" This way it take the focus off of the actual grades and instead focuses on if they met their goal....

  12. Online Pre Reqs?

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

    CuriousMe replied to sweetieann's topic in General Nursing

    Unless not going on either of these trips would be enough for you to turn down the job, I wouldn't mention it on an interview. If you got hired I would then have a conversation about

    CuriousMe replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    CuriousMe replied to L3Janit0r37's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A 3/4 length white lab coat with our school patch on the left sleeve is part of my school's dress code. Some clnicals require us to wear our scrubs (hospital, etc) but other clinicals require...

  20. Does your NS have and honor code?

    CuriousMe replied to mammac5's topic in General Students

    We do have an honor code and needed to sign it at the beginning of school. I do not think it's a joke. I suppose folks who violate it and get caught won't think it's a joke either. I thought it was...

  21. Have you ever cheated?

    CuriousMe replied to JustYouWait's topic in General Students

  23. Pharm 911

    CuriousMe replied to cjillson7030's topic in General Students

    I'd take a look at the book before buying it. I know some find it helpful, but I've found that series makes topics so "incredibly easy" that the content is overly watered down and basic....so no...

  24. Have you ever cheated?

    CuriousMe replied to JustYouWait's topic in General Students

    I guess folks who are dishonest, expect dishonesty from others. Not a saint....just

  25. how to build a bond between students and Nursing tutor

    CuriousMe replied to JocelynChai's topic in General Students

    Thanks! So not exactly like a clinical instructor as our instructor comes to the hospital with us. We can do skills with the RN who our patient is assigned to as well, but our instructor is always...
