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

    CuriousMe replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    So, I can only pull up three of the full articles (even after using my University's library....my school doesn't carry a subscription to psychiatria danubina). One is a case study on one patient from...

  2. A&P Coloring Book

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

    They were not useful for me at all, however I am a very strong auditory and pretty strong kinesthetic learner. I found making flash cards and teaching...well anyone who would listen the material. I...

  3. I'm so dissapointed in myself; not doing great in Chemistry

    CuriousMe replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    While I know it doesn't feel like it now, chemistry can really help you to understand physiology and pathophysiology. We, as human beings, are really just a big sack of chemical reactions So, your...

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

    CuriousMe replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Food can be absolutely be medicine, or adversely affect a medication ( Foods high in Vit. K and coumadin therapy comes to mind). I guess I consider why it's being taken. So as I said earlier, I...

  5. cheating classmates!

    CuriousMe replied to moma8gma1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess that's where we diverge....I don't think that I'm risking ruining their life.....that was the risk they took. Goes back to my bank robbery analogy, the witness who testifies at the trial...

  6. Organic Chemistry help?

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

    conformations, orbital hybridization, nomenclature (well some nomenclature was and some wasn't), and radicals weren't considered "O Chem" they were considered Gen Chem. My first O Chem class we...

  7. Organic Chemistry help?

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

    Sorry I missed that info in your post. Yes, I covered all that information in my year of Gen Chem. Oh and I'm lousy at visualizing as well. I did a lot of drawing and used model kits to help make it...

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

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

    I was accepted to both a local ADN and to the university BSN program. I chose the University program. I knew I wanted a BSN, I also wanted to minor in chemistry (a difficult thing if I get my BS in...

  9. cheating classmates!

    CuriousMe replied to moma8gma1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also have a good number of years on me :) and agree that life is to short to sweat the small stuff. I think where we diverge though is I don't think cheating is small stuff. I think (especially...

  10. cheating classmates!

    CuriousMe replied to moma8gma1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't forgotten. I didn't succeed in school when I was that age....I did not have very good grades and failed far to many classes.....but I still didn't cheat.....one of my few outlooks that have...

  11. cheating classmates!

    CuriousMe replied to moma8gma1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I disagree, as it's not my job to "police" my classmates, nor is it my job to counsel folks who I witness cheating. My responsibility (as defined my our student honor code) is to notify the Prof. if...

  12. Organic Chemistry help?

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

    That material seems to be a review of General Chemistry topics? Maybe you could go back over your Gen Chem notes? When did you take your Gen Chem....did you do well then? I only ask because if it's...

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

    CuriousMe replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so glad that you've been able to maintain your health so well, that's fantastic. I think we're agreeing on the forms. Herbs (in a natural form, ingested as teas, etc) vs. drugs that are...

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

    CuriousMe replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    But isn't the reason you're taking "herbs" for their pharmacological value? I guess I don't see a lot of difference between taken that pharmacological substance in it's original form, vs. taking it...

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

    CuriousMe replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, and didn't mean to say that all alternative practitioners weren't reputable. My apologies if my response came off that way. I just get concerned with folks stating concerns about western vs...

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

    CuriousMe replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    But isn't alternative or complementary "medicine" a business as well? I guess I feel that at least with western medicine, for most things, I can understand the evidenced based science behind it. I...

  17. Have you ever cheated?

    CuriousMe replied to JustYouWait's topic in General Students

    I guess folks who are dishonest, expect dishonesty from others. Not holier than thou....just

  18. Suggestions plz about Transition from RN to PA

    CuriousMe replied to mjcornnielies's topic in General Nursing

    Well, yes my education contains those things. Although, I didn't have any courses in "nursing diagnosis." Threaded throughout all my coursework (my multiple pharm courses, multiple pathophys...

  19. Suggestions plz about Transition from RN to PA

    CuriousMe replied to mjcornnielies's topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious as to your background....as you seem to lack knowledge of nursing education, yet refer to our

  20. Have you ever cheated?

    CuriousMe replied to JustYouWait's topic in General Students

    Not sure why you feel the need to further explain. I understood the first time. No, not even if I was 100% sure I wouldn't be caught. The point of school isn't grades, it's for me to learn how to...

  21. Have you ever cheated?

    CuriousMe replied to JustYouWait's topic in General Students

    Wondering if this is just a troll, mostly because I can't imagine someone really feels this way. Oh and when you cheat you're cheating your future patients.....because the "A student" won't be sitting...

  22. Do you bring your laptop to class/lecture?

    CuriousMe replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Students

    Yes, but some laptops let you write (as opposed to type) and record (with the audio recording integrated with the hand written notes, so each line you write has a play button next to it, that will...

  23. Old Wives Tale or Nursing Intervention?

    CuriousMe replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

    LOL I confess when I read that, I was thinking, " Just like what would happen to the first gal who fell asleep at slumber

  24. Conflicting test question...

    CuriousMe replied to DirtyBlackSocks's topic in General Nursing

    In a sense, you disagreed with yourself. You stated that, "if the pt is screaming their airway is fine." Well, that kind of is an airway assessment. I run into the same problem, in my mind checking...

  25. Moochers who want to copy your homework or cheat off you......

    CuriousMe replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed, (as I remember) from the OP's comments it seemed to be more of a situation of some folks trying to take advantage, and using guilt as a motivator. The problem was that she didn't know how or...
