    CuriousMe replied to blueyesue's topic in General Students

    Is it possible you incurred charges after your financial aid hit last term (library late fees, parking sticker,

  2. Vaccines and nursing school

    CuriousMe replied to cute2's topic in General Students

    The MMR titers are available, but expensive because it's a separate titer for measles, mumps and rubella. I had my full series of Help B 8 or so years ago, but didn't have records (there was a...

  3. Flu shots

    CuriousMe replied to Aisha29's topic in General Students

    There are educated people who believe many erroneous things, it doesn't make them correct. There is no evidence that the H1N1 vaccine is anything but safe. If you have reason to believe it's unsafe,...

  4. Curious..What classes were in everyone's first semester?

    CuriousMe replied to CBsMommy's topic in General Students

    How many credits are those 2 classes? I know most of my nursing classes (except pharm or Patho which were 3 credits each) are 9 credit classes because they include lecture, lab, simulation and...

  5. Test Reviews. Does your progam do them?

    CuriousMe replied to bonestAx's topic in General Students

    Our exam answer sheets are returned to us (we each have a folder in the SON office) and there's a copy of the exam that we can look at in the office. If we want clarification or to challenge a...

    CuriousMe replied to krimicrat's topic in General Students

  7. Much Older People Going Into Nursing

    CuriousMe replied to MissMaryMack12's topic in General Students

    No offense intended....but at 21 yrs-old, you have no idea what you're going to want at 50 yrs-old. You'll likely look back at your 21 yr-old self fondly and shake your head about what you thought...

  8. Getting Conflicting Counsel

    CuriousMe posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm a junior in a very good, nationally ranked, BS nursing program. My intention is to eventually be a FNP. After speaking with practitioners of different specialties (including FNP's) my plan was...

  9. your thoughts on testing

    CuriousMe replied to bennettsmith's topic in General Students

    Not sure what you mean....do you mean the situations you listed in post 7 (Those students who give birth mid semester, have full time jobs and family to help stress things out ,or those who deal with...

  10. your thoughts on testing

    CuriousMe replied to bennettsmith's topic in General Students

    You choose to have relationships with your family, you chose to spend time with them, sometimes live with them. All choices....of course you can't choose who your biological family are.....but you...

  11. your thoughts on testing

    CuriousMe replied to bennettsmith's topic in General Students

    So glad you have methods of coping. I have a lot "tricks" I use as well and yes the meds can really get up there in price. I was really happy this past spring when the generic for Adderall XR came...

  12. your thoughts on testing

    CuriousMe replied to bennettsmith's topic in General Students

    Because all the things you mentioned above (getting pregnant, going to school while having a family, working full time) they are all choices...tragedies are awful and can happen to anyone as...

  13. your thoughts on testing

    CuriousMe replied to bennettsmith's topic in General Students

    The work environment and an academic classroom with xx amount of students in it trying to quietly take a test couldn't be more different. I don't have extra time for exams, but I do use a private...

  14. 5 months to prep for ABSN

    CuriousMe replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in General Students

    I would focus on your home life right now and make sure that you had everything in order (whatever that means for you). That alone can lighten your stress load down the road. Other than that, I'd...

  15. HELP!!!

    CuriousMe replied to erica34's topic in General Students

    The thing to keep in mind as you're doing these problems is what are you trying to find out....so, in this case...if you think the answer might be 30...30 what...mg? mL? Then look at that answer and...

  16. your thoughts on testing

    CuriousMe replied to bennettsmith's topic in General Students

    It is up to the school's disability services office to handle this matter. But if this student has the appropriate documentation, un-timed exams are a really common and accepted testing accommodation...

  17. Rosseta Stone? Anyone ACTUALLY use it?

    CuriousMe replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    I've used Rosseta Stone, but liked another product better (it was a learning lab that I had 24/7 access to, so I had lots of chances to play around with both packages). It's called Tell Me More....

  18. your thoughts on testing

    CuriousMe replied to bennettsmith's topic in General Students

    Not only should they....but if she has a documented diagnosis of ADHD (not just a prescription, but documentation of an evaluation & testing that led to a Dx of ADHD), then they legally have to...

  19. Your favorite "tech" solution to help you in nursing school?

    CuriousMe replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    I didn't link it....it just came that way. Once you're in one of the books (ie the drug guide) then inn the upper right hand corner of the screen, there's a couple icons, one is a house to bring you...

  20. what is an okay GPA to put on your resume?

    CuriousMe replied to nurse441's topic in General Nursing

    My grades include my clinical (55% clinical, 45% theory). If we don't do well at both theory and clinical, we don't do well in the program and our grade reflects

  21. Your favorite "tech" solution to help you in nursing school?

    CuriousMe replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    I have two that I love. The first is my laptop. It's a laptop convertible, which means that it's both a laptop and a tablet. I use Microsoft OneNote on it and between the two of them, I can send my...

    CuriousMe replied to ryangogogo's topic in General Students

    At my school, credits transfer in, not grades....so as long as you passed the class, it counts. Now that works both ways, all my A's from my prereqs didn't count for anything but credit. Anyway, to...

  24. *Shame* Understanding Freshmen/Senior Status- and Loans!

    CuriousMe replied to anclanton's topic in General Students

    Have you applied to other scholarship programs (that aren't given from filling out FAFSA)? As far as needing a co-signer, that will depend less on the loan type and more on your credit rating. Oh,...

  25. Help with a Health Promotion Project

    CuriousMe replied to plumstethoscope's topic in General Students

    I'd do a web search....there are organizations that certify car seat technicians. I'm sure an organization like that could (and would be happy to) help you
