  1. Expelled once at previous institution...chances for nursing school?

    CuriousMe replied to neareast's topic in General Students

    My institution (and the other two I've attended for prereqs) have the same policy, and you would have met the same fate had it happened here. The policy is as it is, because the school has no way of...

  2. Quit after first day of orientation!

    CuriousMe replied to FLg8r's topic in General Nursing

    Now that was funny :) My sense of humor is just fine ChuckE, but thanks for your concern. I just don't think that cranky, judgmental posts that make sweeping generalizations are

  3. Health Insurance & Nursing School

    CuriousMe replied to JustKeepSmiling's topic in General Students

    My school requires full coverage....I think they're thinking that they don't want to be adding to the country's uninsured population :-) Pretty much, you are automatically enrolled in their group plan...

  4. Health Insurance & Nursing School

    CuriousMe replied to JustKeepSmiling's topic in General Students

    So, I confess my brain is mush currently ( just finished a thirty-something page paper)...but shouldn't $100 quarterly end up to be $400 a

  5. Compact States

    CuriousMe replied to southernbelle4lu's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm...not sure what a compact state is, but at a guess, I'd say you would need to speak with someone from the Board of Nursing in whatever state you're looking to move to....then speak to the SC BON...

  6. I actually suggested to a pre req nursing student to find another profession and fast

    CuriousMe replied to kangamangus's topic in General Students

    Actually, how sad for the poor pre-nursing student you vented stress all over. Come and vent here....leave the poor pre-nursing students be, they're already freaking out about trying to get...

  7. quick care plan questions

    CuriousMe replied to 1234student's topic in General Students

    Was he on oxygen before his admission? If not, the O2 is likely not solely d/t his weight (since I'm thinking he didn't suddenly gain weight before admission

  8. First Semester Fundamentals Student -- Impossible to make an A?

    CuriousMe replied to Anastasiak's topic in General Students

    Grades are posted (anonymously of course) after each exam....it's not hard to have an idea of how the class is

  9. eBooks?? worth the $$??

    CuriousMe replied to jostjlAZ's topic in General Students

    Hmmmm....I wonder if that changes publisher to publisher. I have e-books that I have resident on my computer, they don't expire. I've had online components to text books (like extra study activities...

  10. Whats the deal with all the crying?!?!....

    CuriousMe replied to morningland's topic in General Students

    Wow tough crowd. I'm not a crier in the sense of running out of a room crying kinda gal. I am a sap though, and my eyes well up for something sentimental (like even that Christmas Folgers...

  11. Dosage question

    CuriousMe replied to hiddencatRN's topic in General Students

    The amount the pill displaces is very small, so small it would be very difficult to adjust for. Even in my O chem class, we just deal with volume of liquids, we don't consider the displacement of the...

  12. Biology Major-- Im told nursing school is a lot easier?

    CuriousMe replied to Delta_Notch's topic in General Students

    I do know what you mean (I'm the one with the chem minor, so I've taken a lot of the same classes you're speaking of)....but the tricky thing about nursing school questions is they're multiple...

  13. First Semester Fundamentals Student -- Impossible to make an A?

    CuriousMe replied to Anastasiak's topic in General Students

    I can't speak to your school, but most (if not everyone) had straight A's to get in to my program, and I'd say that less than 10% still have A's after a year of school. So, in my program, it's not...

  14. Health Insurance & Nursing School

    CuriousMe replied to JustKeepSmiling's topic in General Students

    Does your school not offer health insurance? I'd work to see if I could get into a group plan somewhere. Peace,

  15. Whats the deal with all the crying?!?!....

    CuriousMe replied to morningland's topic in General Students

    I think it's interesting that quite a few posts feel the need to clarify "not going into hysterics" when talking about crying. Hysterics, are never proffessional appropriate.... but when someone...

  16. Biology Major-- Im told nursing school is a lot easier?

    CuriousMe replied to Delta_Notch's topic in General Students

    It's not that any specific thing in nursing school is academically challenging.....it's the volume of everything that can be difficult. For example, last term in our program we were taking...

  17. What would you do, if you were in my shoes.....

    CuriousMe replied to amaxiechRN2011's topic in General Students

    Sounds like it's time for a new job. I'd start looking right now...hopefully, you'll be able to find one before the new term

  18. Grading in Nursing School?

    CuriousMe replied to SummitRN's topic in General Students

    I'm in a BS program. 55% of my grade is from clinicals. It's taken from writing assignments (one being a 30+ page paper this term) and clinical performance (graded using a clinical rubric). 45% is...

  19. I actually suggested to a pre req nursing student to find another profession and fast

    CuriousMe replied to kangamangus's topic in General Students

    Wow, if that's what is happening in your program....y'all need to find another program. There's nothing like that happening in my program. Oh and I'm finishing the first term of my second...

  20. Feeling isolated in school

    CuriousMe replied to HelloRose's topic in General Students

    It's only been one semester....cut yourself some slack. While there are always exceptions, it would be unusual to find a best friend with so short a time, real friendships tend to develop over time....

  21. Whats the deal with all the crying?!?!....

    CuriousMe replied to morningland's topic in General Students

    Hmmm...I disagree. We're not all women first off....and what does being women have to do with crying....guys don't get upset? I also disagree about the need to go into his/her room and cry with the...

  22. How do you handle cheaters?

    CuriousMe replied to AllSmiles225's topic in General Students

    I understand that you have a different perspective than I, but please don't tell me what my motivations are. Just because a perspective differs from yours doesn't make it dishonest....it makes it...

  23. How do you handle cheaters?

    CuriousMe replied to AllSmiles225's topic in General Students

    i wish you the best, and hope your perspective doesn't come back to you in a bad way in the future. someone in my program failed a class for her "minding her own business" and not reporting something...

  24. How do you handle cheaters?

    CuriousMe replied to AllSmiles225's topic in General Students

    The difference between your parking example and nursing school is that first of all, I never signed a driver's honor code in which I said I would report traffic violations, and if I didn't I would be...

  25. What if I get a "C" in Patho?

    CuriousMe replied to futuredream's topic in General Students

    It might effect your placement for your preceptorship....which could make it harder to start in a specialty that you want. For example, you're more likely to get a job in an ED as a new grad if you...
