  1. Did your nursing program require letters of recommendation?

    CuriousMe replied to mell260's topic in General Students

    Are you applying before you've taken your

  2. Did your nursing program require letters of recommendation?

    CuriousMe replied to mell260's topic in General Students

    You've never had a

  3. Did your nursing program require letters of recommendation?

    CuriousMe replied to mell260's topic in General Students

    I don't know if they required a higher GPA or not...but most of us had a 4.0 or pretty darn close. We did have to write a proctored essay though. The other two references are going to depend on you...

  4. Did your nursing program require letters of recommendation?

    CuriousMe replied to mell260's topic in General Students

    Mine didn't require any. But my scholarships did. Do they give you any guidance on who they'd like you to have as a reference? I'd likely make at least one of them your A&P

  5. BSN Programs

    CuriousMe replied to Serena71's topic in General Students

    And some have you complete one year of prerequisites before being accepted into a 3 year nursing

  6. Washington Redskins Cheerleader Suffers Dystonia From Flu Shot

    CuriousMe replied to musiklover's topic in Disaster Preparation

    She might not....according to her status, she's a pre-nursing student. I know my nursing school required all the things you're speaking of and my clinical sites required me to have both seasonal and...

  7. BSN Programs

    CuriousMe replied to Serena71's topic in General Students

    Hi Serena71, Most programs (either ADN or BSN) require about a year of college coursework they call prerequisite classes (some BSN programs require two years of perquisite classes). They usually...

  8. First-semester students taking care of C. diff patients?

    CuriousMe replied to Kringe38's topic in General Students

    First: take a deep breath. You really are over analyzing (this makes sense, in the beginning you don't have a context for how much you need to be concerned about stuff, so over analyze everything....I...

  9. H1N1 vaccine... why it should be MY choice!

    CuriousMe replied to miss81's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Then we

  10. Electronic nursing care plans

    CuriousMe replied to dsstewbee's topic in General Students

    What do you mean by electronic care plans? We create our care plans on the computer....is that what you

  11. H1N1 vaccine... why it should be MY choice!

    CuriousMe replied to miss81's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And I'm not commenting on the person, just the statements. If the OP of that statement wishes to clarify, they are more than welcome

  12. H1N1 vaccine... why it should be MY choice!

    CuriousMe replied to miss81's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm sorry, I'm definitely the nursing student who normally assumes she doesn't know most of what she needs to know in situations. That's why I'm there, there, to

  13. Nursing school double standards?

    CuriousMe replied to Risgirl's topic in General Students

    None, don't have any in astrophysics credits either....but I'm sure it's a safe bet that it's different from nursing school. Are you really trying to make a case that your EE program and nursing...

  14. Nursing school double standards?

    CuriousMe replied to Risgirl's topic in General Students

    Wow, I think now would be a good time to take a big, deep breath. Nursing school is not the same as an EE degree, never has been, never will be. Sorry you're having a tough time of

  15. H1N1 vaccine... why it should be MY choice!

    CuriousMe replied to miss81's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No one is saying you shouldn't have informed consent. No one is saying you have to get an H1N1 shot. You as a patient have the right to refuse a vaccination. There are things that folks are required...

  16. H1N1 vaccine... why it should be MY choice!

    CuriousMe replied to miss81's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Additionally, in the Pandemic Flu forum, someone else reported that in all of the vaccines ever given (so, not just flu shots and not just this year) there have been 63 cases of dystonia reported....

  17. Nursing school double standards?

    CuriousMe replied to Risgirl's topic in General Students

    WOW!! That was one of the biggest leaps of logic I've ever read. So, first nursing school.....isn't it possible that the reason most nursing schools aren't focusing on how white our uniforms are, is...

  18. BSN not worth it?

    CuriousMe replied to nohika's topic in General Nursing

    I think it does depend on the program much more than the kind of program (diploma/ADN/BSN). I'm in a BS program that has right around 1300 hrs of clinicals. Research the programs in your area....

  19. advice for highschool student

    CuriousMe replied to future_nurse_parent's topic in General Students

    I would encourage him to stay with his TAG classes. Getting his academic foundation now will benefit him much more than learning his basic care skills a couple years early. Also, check out your...

  20. Lack of respect for nurses

    CuriousMe replied to nicuRN2007's topic in General Nursing

    My favorite two are actually both from my Dad. The first was just a few days into starting nursing school. I love our faculty...they're really just amazing folks. I was telling him about a Prof I...

  21. southern oregon job prospects

    CuriousMe replied to studenthubby's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Honestly, I don't know. All the new grads I know were looking for New Grad acute care positions. I know hostpital wise, the market is slightly better for RN's who don't need a new grad...

  22. southern oregon job prospects

    CuriousMe replied to studenthubby's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hey there, I live in Ashland and I'm in nursing school down here. I'm in a BS program, and I know that graduates from June, have had a TOUGH time finding new grad positions in the area. A good...

  23. Does this make sense to anyone out here?

    CuriousMe replied to MsLEE2121's topic in General Students

    It seems the only benefit to going the LPN route for you is asserting your independence faster. From someone who's been on the other side of this equation....I do just want to remind you what an...

  24. Hanging onto an extremely thin line right now.

    CuriousMe replied to nneokill175's topic in General Students

    I would change your focus. Instead of thinking that you need to study for the exam, focus on studying after each lecture. So, write down a study session either later the same day from or the day...

  25. Care Plan for Maslow's love & belonging

    CuriousMe replied to cheernurse2010's topic in General Students

    Sorry, I know this doesn't help your care plan, but I'd be thinking that mental health referral might be in order. Tenuous perception of reality, ideas of grandiosity, delusions? Amongst other...
