  1. 1st clinical day!

    CuriousMe replied to CrunchyMama's topic in General Students

    Nope, just sharing :) I agree, it is an adugustment...our terms are 10 weeks long, so it seems like it's just a whirlwind and then it's

  2. 1st clinical day!

    CuriousMe replied to CrunchyMama's topic in General Students

    We're on quarters, not semesters: we have two terms (so 20 weeks) 4 hours a week. Peace,

  3. Are nurses going to be force to take the N1H1

    CuriousMe replied to Holly.G's topic in General Students

    As long as BOTH your school and your clinical site accept a declination letter, then it looks like there won't be a conflict by refusing the shot. As I said above, my school isn't requiring the...

  4. How many of you are on prescription drugs for anxiety, depression, mental health?

    CuriousMe replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious, you mentioned being Dx'd with ADHD as a teen. Do you take ADHD meds? I only ask because before I started on them my moods were out of control, I wasn't sleeping very much at all, I was...

  5. ANA & ONA

    CuriousMe replied to OregonBSN's topic in Oregon Nursing

    At a guess I'd say the reason is that all the schools that participate in OCNE (including OHSU) changed their acceptance requirements (including prereqs), as well as their whole curriculum to conform...

  6. Private BSN

    CuriousMe replied to hellosandyp's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Are you looking to transfer into a nursing program? How far along are you in your current program? Welcome to Oregon :-) There are three private and one kinda public, kinda private school for BS in...

  7. Overcoming fear??

    CuriousMe replied to Nightingale11's topic in General Nursing

    Does your school have a student health center of some sort? Maybe chat with someone there, they might have free/low cost counselors and might be able to hook you up with some kind of medication...

  8. How to pay for Nursing school: Student Nursing Scholarship + Financial Aid Links

    CuriousMe replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Students

    Wow, that's great that you didn't have to go back and do prereqs for your RN-BS. It works differently at my school. Peace,

    CuriousMe replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Students

    Wow, 22 months, was that including

  10. How many of you are on prescription drugs for anxiety, depression, mental health?

    CuriousMe replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    Hi there heehee : (by the way, love your screen name ) I'm a 40 yr-old who has returned to school. I'm in my second year of a three year BS nursing program. I've long suspected that I'm ADHD (and I...

  11. Freezing cold- what can I wear under my scrubs?

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

    I have a pair of baggy fleece pants that I throw on over my scrubs to walk when it's cold out. I also wear a long sleeve shirt that is made to be an under layer for hiking and such (I get them from...

  12. 1st clinical day!

    CuriousMe replied to CrunchyMama's topic in General Students

    How interesting that there are so many different approaches taken by school's. I'm in a BS, major in nursing, program. It's a three year program (with a year of pre-requs done before you're...

  13. How to pay for Nursing school: Student Nursing Scholarship + Financial Aid Links

    CuriousMe replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Students

    I worked with the scholarship office at the community college where I did my pre-reqs and applied for a lots of scholarships. With their help, I found a scholarship that is paying for 90% of my BS...

  14. Stethoscope colors...HELP!

    CuriousMe replied to oguesswhat's topic in General Nursing

    The only problem with that theory is that there's always folks who like odd colors. I know someone in this thread was talking about getting an orange steth with just that thought in mind.....but I...

  15. guilty mom

    CuriousMe replied to kristak's topic in General Students

    You're right, you didn't say the exact words, "she's a bad mom," I apologize if you feel I misrepresented you. However, that is how your post read to me....if that wasn't your intention, please...

  16. Nursing Orders

    CuriousMe replied to 1234student's topic in General Students

    Not combing through your posts....if you notice, I had posted in both of these conversations before you did...so replies end up in my e-mail inbox. Trust me, you don't figure at all on my radar. A...

  17. guilty mom

    CuriousMe replied to kristak's topic in General Students

    Your responses were cruel because they didn't answer the question she asked....you judged what kind of Mom she is. If you had given an opinion on her question....that would have been different. You...

  18. Nursing school double standards?

    CuriousMe replied to Risgirl's topic in General Students

    OK then, short answer is: yes. It's common (and I'd say in most places expected) for nursing instructors to operate as if nursing school was your first and foremost priority. Everything else is...

  19. guilty mom

    CuriousMe replied to kristak's topic in General Students

    Geez, your answer is cruel and unnecessary! There's no need to argue with you, because your answer was nothing but judgmental opinion, not supportive or helpful in any way. If the opposite of what...

  20. Nursing Orders

    CuriousMe replied to 1234student's topic in General Students

    Uhmmm....take another read through the thread, she said that nursing diagnoses and nursing orders were listed separately....as in different

  21. guilty mom

    CuriousMe replied to kristak's topic in General Students

    :) No worries, it's all good :) It probably would have helped you if I had spelled cannot correctly

  22. Overcoming fear??

    CuriousMe replied to Nightingale11's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Diane & Jules, I think it's time to get help (from more than AllNurses :) ). Maybe make an appointment at your student health center with a counselor? Nursing school is tough, it's...

  23. Nursing Orders

    CuriousMe replied to 1234student's topic in General Students

    Ahhh, so now we're getting somewhere. It's a step in the nursing process. I bet it is a nursing intervention. What does your book call the other steps of the nursing process? If it is a nursing...

  24. Are nurses going to be force to take the N1H1

    CuriousMe replied to Holly.G's topic in General Students

    I guess it depends on where you are. It's already mandated in our clinical sites. Our school isn't requiring it, but as our clinical sites are unless we have a medical contraindication (ie allergy...

  25. MY sister "wants" to be a nurse? I don't think she should!

    CuriousMe replied to misspink789's topic in General Nursing

    OP, let's say you're completely right.....so what? What impact will it have on you? Absolutely none. I t's not your job to decide if your sister will make a good nurse or not, that's her job. Your...
