  1. What color are your school uniforms?

    CuriousMe replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    I'm in my psych rotation now and it's professional dress...which is basically what they call business casual (nice slacks or khakis, and a conservative top...no jeans, sneakers, or revealing...

  2. Leadership

    CuriousMe replied to Lanessa Bah's topic in General Students

    My guess is that you have been in leadership roles....just not official ones. But anyway, you've definitely been a member in a group who had a leader.....so, what did you appreciate from your leader?...

  3. Please share your thoughts on this matter.....

    CuriousMe replied to amaxiechRN2011's topic in General Students

    It sounds like your nursing Prof is concerned that you're getting distracted by the NCLEX books. I think NCLEX books can get you in trouble in first or second term, if your trying to learn content...

  4. PLEASE HELP!!! ASN to CRNA??

    CuriousMe replied to crazybumblebee's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Since you know where you want to end up (CRNA), have you spoken to any CRNA programs that you're interested in and asked them what kind of preparation they want their applicants to have? (ie, do you...

  5. Pharmacology study tips for new nursing student

    CuriousMe replied to cunchurch2's topic in General Students

    I'm lousy at straight memorization, so while I do make flash cards to boost my lousy memorizing skills. The way I learn is to connect the info to stuff I know already. So for me, I really focus on...

  6. What color are your school uniforms?

    CuriousMe replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    I like ours, navy blue scrubs (v-neck top, with school patch--blue white & green--on shoulder), white shoes (all white), white socks. We can wear blue, black or white t-shirts or long sleeve...

  7. Which route should I go- ADN or BSN?

    CuriousMe replied to litchi's topic in General Students

    If clinical time is important to you, I'd check out how much is in each program and the quality of it. I know one of the things that I love about my BS program is that I have clinical experiences...

  8. My hospital is going SMOKE FREE!!

    CuriousMe replied to CCLOUD9's topic in General Nursing

    Speaking as a (nonsmoking) patient, I SO appreciate hospitals that have nonsmoking campuses. I HATE having to run the smoker's gauntlet when my asthma flares to the extent that I need to go to the...

  9. ethical issues in nursing practices

    CuriousMe replied to maryam lakhdir's topic in General Students

    I'm doing my clinicals on an acute-care, locked Psych unit this term and just wanted to let you know there is a LOT of literature about the benefits of NOT using restraints. Maybe chat with your...

  10. Do you have to be smart to be a nurse?

    CuriousMe replied to ladynurse266's topic in General Students

    Have you ever been evaluated for test anxiety? Talk to your Office of Disability Services at your school. They can tell you what you'll need to get something called testing accommodations....

  11. First Semester Clinicals--anyone else need to vent?

    CuriousMe replied to ZenStudent's topic in General Students

    Ok, so how good at "book learnin'" would you be if you had one short shift of it.....ever! At a guess, I'd say you wouldn't feel very confident. Give yourself a chance!! I'm sure you're not...

  12. autistic patients

    CuriousMe replied to chloe1602's topic in General Nursing

    If he has family or caregivers who you can speak with, maybe find out if there's something from home that he likes which might keep his hands busy. You'd get a two for one by keeping his hands...

  13. Colleges spitting out new nurse without any training?

    CuriousMe replied to fulzgold's topic in General Nursing

    That's what we do now. Need to go in the afternoon before to get PT info from chart.... & need to have all the info incl. 3 nursing dx, (highlighting the priority Dx), interventions for each Dx,...

  14. Double majoring in Nursing and either Nutrition or Exercise and Wellness?

    CuriousMe replied to blondielocks's topic in General Students

    Have you looked at the minor requirements for those concentrations at the university where you'll get your BSN? That's really the only way to see if it's feasible. As each school will have a...

  15. Text Messaging During Lecture

    CuriousMe replied to SRK77's topic in General Students

    Texting is disrespectful of the person who took the time and work to create a presentation. There's really no way around that. Telling someone ahead of time that disrespect will happen, doesn't...

  16. Text Messaging During Lecture

    CuriousMe replied to SRK77's topic in General Students

    I couldn't agree more. Could you imagine a business meeting/presentation where someone texted their way through it? Not in any meeting I've ever been to, and these are folks with big...

  17. Parent having surgery soon

    CuriousMe replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Students

    The truth of life is that you truly have control of very few major things in your life. The only thing you truly have control over is your actions. Anyway, I'm not a person who advises not speaking...

  18. I feel completely lost....

    CuriousMe replied to Nursingstudent2188's topic in General Students

    I have a secret for you, you might not be the only one feeling this way. You're comparing your insides to their outsides, just because folks look confident doesn't mean they are. No one in your...

  19. Text Messaging During Lecture

    CuriousMe replied to SRK77's topic in General Students

    I'm glad you did well on your exams, but I'm curious...you say that you did your best to be respectful by not texting during a guest speaker.....didn't your regular Prof.'s deserve that same respect?...

  20. Need Help on an instructor who helped me fail Hesi

    CuriousMe replied to natalieonaje's topic in General Students

    Sorry, if my preceptor told me to do X and I knew X wasn't right, I wouldn't do X. I might say...I'm not comfortable with that, could I watch you do it? Or, "we learned to do Y in this situation,...

  21. Study supplements ...Please answer ASAP

    CuriousMe replied to jayjo's topic in General Students

    I agree, unless you're not understanding the concepts, I found the extra books to be a waste. I bought the A&P flash cards, but found I learned far more by making my own flash cards. Not only...

  22. Need Help on an instructor who helped me fail Hesi

    CuriousMe replied to natalieonaje's topic in General Students

    It seems that your choice is to take this supplemental class or get kicked out of school for cheating.....because unless the teacher had a gun to your head...you weren't forced to change your...

  23. HELP!! I need guidance I saw someone cheating

    CuriousMe replied to Brie80's topic in General Students

    I'm so sorry that you had a bad experience while doing the right thing. It's not always like that though and, at least in my school, it's really not a question of "if" you should tell. It's laid out...

  24. My God....the politics....

    CuriousMe replied to burberrylover's topic in General Students

    What's an LNA

  25. Motivation

    CuriousMe replied to 1234student's topic in General Students

    I hate to break it to you, but at this point, it's not motivation you need....it's discipline. You just have to make yourself do it. It sounds like you're tired....motivation doesn't get you past...
