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

    CuriousMe replied to JocelynChai's topic in General Students

    I think the OP is from the UK. Is a tutor in the UK like a clinical

  2. Pharm 911

    CuriousMe replied to cjillson7030's topic in General Students

    I agree with the above post, memorizing will make you nuts...there's to much. I found knowing the drug classes to help. The other thing is knowing the mechanism of action and then how it works with...

  3. can i become a nurse if i have a mental disability?

    CuriousMe replied to donnalou86's topic in General Nursing

    No worries :) I don't think that's considered learning disabilities, I think that's more along the line of cognitive deficits. Learning disabilities have no correlation to intelligence, whereas...

  4. can i become a nurse if i have a mental disability?

    CuriousMe replied to donnalou86's topic in General Nursing

    Not necessarily, I have multiple learning disabilities (and if you would have seen this post before my spellchecker got to it, you'd really believe me ) and I'm at the top of my class at a very...

  5. I'm trying nursing, but I'm hardheaded..will I last?

    CuriousMe replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    I did keep it in context...it was your reply to that post that I quoted. I never said you made that comment to everyone, I only used "they" because I didn't know if the person you were replying to...

  6. I'm trying nursing, but I'm hardheaded..will I last?

    CuriousMe replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    Well you originally asked, " Do you think this might be a problem in the nursing field?" And they answered. Then you answered this,"That is not a decison for you to make. Make your own life...

  7. I'm trying nursing, but I'm hardheaded..will I last?

    CuriousMe replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    If you don't like the answers.....you could always stop asking. When you ask questions on a public board....folks are going to

  8. I'm trying nursing, but I'm hardheaded..will I last?

    CuriousMe replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    While the bolded part is unbelievably sexist and offensive.....your belief in it is yet another reason that nursing might not be a good fit for you. While there are more men joining the profession,...

  9. Anyone NOT have trouble getting a job?

    CuriousMe replied to LETRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still in school, but most of my friends who graduated last year (last June) had jobs before they

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

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

    Many nurses with their PhD in nursing, do research (really that's what a PhD degree is, it's a research degree). So, they're looking at how best to meet different population's needs, what nursing...

  11. Do You Remember Your Patient's Name?

    CuriousMe replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    I'm the opposite, I'm lousy with names.....but I tend to be an extrovert so folks often remember mine. I hate when I do

  12. I've got another practice NCLEX question-can anyone help me out?

    CuriousMe replied to Matt285907's topic in General Students

    Even if you think of basic CPR (another time that someone might not be in complete control of their airway), what do you always do before giving a breath? Tilt their head back, because it opens the...

  13. is this considered passing?

    CuriousMe replied to mimi225's topic in General Nursing

    Obviously you should check with your school, but my guess is that if they counted them completely separately, they wouldn't have made you retake both. Since they did, I'm guessing that they require a...

  14. I'm trying nursing, but I'm hardheaded..will I last?

    CuriousMe replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, that's not a lack of attention to detail, that's just not caring enough to do it right. That's a problem. I really hope that you're just trolling for reactions and don't really do this stuff....

  15. Am I overreacting?

    CuriousMe replied to annaRNC's topic in General Nursing

    As others have said, no you weren't harsh. I'm currently a nursing student and I love when I'm fortunate enough to find an RN who really wants to teach. Our instructor is fantastic, but she can only...

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

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

    Each program has their positives and negatives, and each are individual with what they require. For instance, my BS program is three years, as opposed to a the local ADN program which is 2 years....

  17. New nursing program

    CuriousMe replied to zrc2009's topic in General Nursing

    How long is "soo

  18. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    CuriousMe replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Obviously, no one should ever be laughed at. There's no need for that. At the same time, if someone has learning disabilities and is successful in nursing school.....they are well-equipped, they've...

  19. The Public's Doubts About "Western Medicine"

    CuriousMe replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Well of course we don't look up clinical trials every time we dispense meds. We consult the drug book, but....where do you think the information on adverse reactions and time of onset, peak, etc came...

  20. The Public's Doubts About "Western Medicine"

    CuriousMe replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so glad your friends are doing so well with their lupus.....but we both know that there are lots of folks out there who are doing well with pharmaceuticals. As well as lots who are doing well...

  21. Length Of Nursing Program

    CuriousMe replied to nessa_5555's topic in General Nursing

    Ours is a bachelors, RN program. Technically you do one year of general education courses and then 3 years of the nursing program (which consist of both theory and clinical...1380 clinical hours...

  22. The Public's Doubts About "Western Medicine"

    CuriousMe replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that's terribly fair. There will always be risks associated with medicine. People die from taking aspirin! But how well would this young lady be without medication? The medications...

  23. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    CuriousMe replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Even so, having a learning disability just means she has a harder time learning something....not that she's exempt from learning it. Personally if my nurse couldn't pronounce the vocabulary of their...

  24. States Who Have Banned HESI

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

    It's used as our (and many other) school's exit exam. The HESI is supposed to be a good indicator for success on NCLEX. Personally, I like it....what's the use in graduating if I can't pass the...

  25. Question about teaching medical assistance

    CuriousMe replied to missourigirl2010's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure that medical billing, is a skill that is limited to licensed or even certified personnel (but I obviously could be wrong on that). I don't think I understand your concern, is the...
