  1. Question for OHSU Ashland BSN Students

    CuriousMe replied to punkdmunkey's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Yes, the bus system is not a realistic way to get to clinicals. It doesn't run early enough or late enough. There's a hospital in Ashland, but most of your hospital-based clinicals will be in...

  2. Private BSN

    CuriousMe replied to hellosandyp's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Your apologies are accepted, but my statement is completely accurate. OHSU is a hybrid of public and private university. It is listed on OUS's webpage as an affiliate of the Oregon University...

  3. Private BSN

    CuriousMe replied to hellosandyp's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Actually OHSU is both public and private. It isn't a regular school in the Oregon University System; it isn't funded in the same ways as schools in the Oregon University System and overall makes it's...

  4. Older Nursing students

    CuriousMe replied to MarieD's topic in General Students

    I'm 40, and my class has about 50 students. I'm in my second year of three, in a BS nursing program, not even close to the oldest student and the majority of my class is closer to my age than to a...

  5. sub-standard nursing opportunities

    CuriousMe replied to olpoohky's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hmm...no sarcasm. Was curious as to how you came to your conclusion. Obviously a student should never feel intimidated to speak with faculty. Our faculty is wonderfully supportive. Our liaisons...

  6. sub-standard nursing opportunities

    CuriousMe replied to olpoohky's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Curious how you came to that conclusion... To the OP, do they have an SNA (student nurses association...like student government for nursing school) at all? As part of our SNA board, we have two class...

  7. How do you pay for school?

    CuriousMe replied to mmh2's topic in General Students

    Prereqs are just college classes...so, sure. Just declare pre-nursing as your major. Best of

  8. Classmates using you as a pincushion?

    CuriousMe replied to xyra's topic in General Students

    Really? You don't know why? At a guess, I'd say that a group of students, without any supervision, doing invasive procedures on each other is likely not the safest of situations

  9. How do you pay for school?

    CuriousMe replied to mmh2's topic in General Students

    I had student loans for the first year, then quit work (with a small private student loan to live on) during the second year. The second year I started getting Pell grants. For years 3 - 5 (BS...

  10. Flu shots

    CuriousMe replied to Aisha29's topic in General Students

    You're right, it's just not possible that we disagree....that would mean there's a possibility that you're... ...wrong about something. Sorry, to hard to contemplate....it must be that I'm dense. Or...

  11. potential student...someday

    CuriousMe replied to mmh2's topic in General Students

    What is

  12. Classmates using you as a pincushion?

    CuriousMe replied to xyra's topic in General Students

    We're not allowed to stick each other...with one exception. We give each other flu shots each Fall. In our sophomore year, we also run flu shot clinics for one day of our clinicals...so we get a lot...

  13. professors?

    CuriousMe replied to sweetiepeas's topic in General Students

    Most of my Prof's do have their Doctorate. I always call them Dr. in a first meeting, they've all asked to be called their first name. My favorite answer was from one of my favorite Profs. He said...

  14. Experience Needed to be NP

    CuriousMe replied to ash122's topic in General Students

    It depends on the MSN program (not even the school, different programs in the same school have different requirements). Some require 1-2 years of experience as an RN before entering the program,...

  15. Flu shots

    CuriousMe replied to Aisha29's topic in General Students

    He was giving information (see bolded below) the overwhelming majority of his post is information about the shot. Sorry he didn't go into a complete microbiology lecture to explain the basis of...

  16. Flu shots

    CuriousMe replied to Aisha29's topic in General Students

    Visitors don't generally go from room to room the way students

  17. Flu shots

    CuriousMe replied to Aisha29's topic in General Students

    Of course, but there isn't "guest law." There is employment law that deals with what employers can mandate of employees, and there is law that deals with post-secondary education that your school of...

  18. Flu shots

    CuriousMe replied to Aisha29's topic in General Students

    Yup nurses were suing the hospitals...as employees there is employment law that outlines what the hospital is allowed to mandate. Students are not employees of the hospital (well they may be on their...

  19. Flu shots

    CuriousMe replied to Aisha29's topic in General Students

    States have vaccination laws for schools and workplaces. Hospitals are private organizations and clinical students are not even employees of that organization. They are there as guests. A hospital...

  20. Flu shots

    CuriousMe replied to Aisha29's topic in General Students

    I do agree that looking at both sides is important. From my research one side seems very heavy with evidence and the other heavy with fear and anecdotal stories of tragedy and conspiracy. Are you...

  21. Flu shots

    CuriousMe replied to Aisha29's topic in General Students

    there may be state regulations about what your school can require.....but clinical sites can require what ever they want of students. students are there as guests, not

  22. Flu shots

    CuriousMe replied to Aisha29's topic in General Students

    Lets look at the numbers of folks who died of the diseases these vaccines prevent before the vaccines were around (not even counting those who were disabled by these diseases) and then look at the...

  23. If you have rec' d the H1N1 vaccine - please report

    CuriousMe replied to CrunchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Assuming, that folks who don't see the H1N1 as a "New" vaccine to be cautious about is because they haven't had a drug reaction before is a Huge Assumption. I have had a reaction (pretty severe) to...

    CuriousMe replied to Aisha29's topic in General Students

    So, what about his information was wrong? You didn't like his tone....I acknowledged that. His information was still
