    CuriousMe replied to nohika's topic in General Students

    CuriousMe replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Students

  7. What books should I buy?

    CuriousMe replied to guest042302019's topic in General Students

    I loved this one: http://www.amazon.com/Survive-Maybe-Even-Nursing-School/dp/0803618298/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1261000335&sr=1-1 On the other hand, I found the "XXX Made...

  8. How Much is a BSN Worth?

    CuriousMe replied to Jenbabe741's topic in General Students

    The other number to factor in, is two years of RN salary (figuring that you'd graduate two years earlier with the BSN program). Assuming there's no wait list for the BSN program, you'd start getting...

  9. Correlation Between High GPA & NCLEX Pass Rate/Nursing Care?

    CuriousMe replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Students

    Huh? How do you know the pass rates (which I'm interpreting to mean the rate of those who passed the NCLEX) will increase by April

    CuriousMe replied to tagil's topic in General Students

    You can find out what your local RN to BS programs require for non-nursing classes (usually they require some upper level electives).....but the upper level nursing classes usually include the nursing...

    CuriousMe replied to amberthenurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    But wouldn't working through my grad program give me three years working as an

  12. Need Advice on FNP school!

    CuriousMe replied to amberthenurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I spoke with admissions for the University of Pennsylvania.....not "my" school....just one of the ones that I'm looking at. I won't graduate with my BS in nursing until June of

  13. Need Advice on FNP school!

    CuriousMe replied to amberthenurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Whether I go straight to school or work for several years first, either way my plan is to work while I'm in my Grad

  14. Need Advice on FNP school!

    CuriousMe replied to amberthenurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So glad to see this post. My plan had always been to work for 2-3 years as an RN (hopefully in an ER) before applying to a FNP program.....but all of my Prof's are recommending that I go straight...

  15. Chemistry skills relevant to nursing

    CuriousMe replied to futurenurse93's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, the 101, 102 kinds of chemistry really isn't that bad. It takes some work, but the concepts aren't tough. The work comes in because there's a lot of word problems, so it's kind of like...

  16. What (in your opion) is the "hardest" semester of the ADN program?

    CuriousMe replied to seasoned hopeful's topic in General Students

    I'm in a BS program, but....still, I'd say: the one you're currently in

  17. BS Biology or ADN RN? any advice?

    CuriousMe replied to peachy11's topic in General Students

    Are there any BS RN programs in your area? I only say that because you've likely done a lot of the BS requirements already, and it could be 2 years of nursing school either way....one you come out...

  18. stethoscope care?

    CuriousMe replied to LanaBanana's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Honestly, I was real freaked out for the first month or so and only carried it in it's box, but that got really old.....after that, I just put it in the front pocket of my backpack. So far, so good...

  19. Where to Purchase???

    CuriousMe replied to MrsMeg's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have a Cardiology III and love it. I see that you're buying this for a CNA class though....is your plan to go to nursing school? I only ask because as a CNA, the most you'll do with a steth is...

  20. Chemistry skills relevant to nursing

    CuriousMe replied to futurenurse93's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with GilaRN. Physiology at a cellular level IS CHEMISTRY. I took my full year of General Chemistry before I started my program because I'm pursuing a chem minor. I figured that the organic...

  21. best sounding stethoscope?

    CuriousMe replied to k8lyns_mommy's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    What would you gain by using the chest-piece from a Cardiology III and the tubing from another steth? I don't think you can buy just a chest-piece, so you'd need to buy the whole thing anyway....

  22. Long time after High School

    CuriousMe replied to lmsparks's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't it funny how different we all are. I am NOT gifted in math, I have big time learning disabilities in math (they pulled out of math and science classes way back when in high school). Taking...

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

    CuriousMe replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    Well, that's a bit better than just basing it on the post quoted. Truthfully though, I'm ADHD (and a NY'er) as well. It really sounds more like a communication style issue. Meds didn't teach me how...

  24. My school won't let me graduate!

    CuriousMe replied to SummitRN's topic in General Students

    Sorry you're having so many problems right at the end of the term. I'm curious though, why would not having a degree impact your nursing application? Do you get application points for a

    CuriousMe replied to dinah77's topic in General Students

    Wow, I hope you have a good rest of your night. I'll make a mental note to only reply to posts of yours in which I agree with your perspective. Silly me, I thought this was a forum where folks...
