  1. Help..fellow RN breaking into co-workers E mail

    CuriousMe replied to iluvivt's topic in General Nursing

    Which is exactly why most corporate technology usage policies hold the owner of the account (not the perpetrator) responsible for any suspect activity on account. The person the account is assigned...

  2. Help..fellow RN breaking into co-workers E mail

    CuriousMe replied to iluvivt's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in nursing school now, but spent the past 10+ years working as an IT professional. Just a couple general points. 1) IT staff should NEVER, as in under NO circumstances, need your password (you...

  3. Will I be a "full time" student

    CuriousMe replied to O'Ryan's topic in General Students

    Honestly, it depends on your program. At my school, 12 credits is considered full time. There are certain terms where there's only 9 credits of nursing coursework, if I want to be considered full...

  4. Can Nursing be a Co-major??

    CuriousMe replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Students

    I don't have a double major, but I am working on a minor in chemistry. It requires a year of General Chemistry, a year of Organic Chemistry and a term of Biochemistry. I'm currently in the second...

  5. Huge let down from one of my profs

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

    Well of course, but truly...it's kinda her job to "judge" your progress. What I'm wondering as I read your posts is, are you in treatment for your anxiety and ADD? I'm also ADHD (combined type...I...

  6. need help with critical thinking assignmeny

    CuriousMe replied to becky0124's topic in General Students

    Most folks aren't keen about flat out doing your homework, but are happy to help out. Maybe if you gave an idea of what your thinking process is so far, folks could help guide you on the right

  7. I didn't know this could happen!

    CuriousMe replied to MsLEE2121's topic in General Students

    Well yeah, if those were my only two choices I'd prefer slow to a mistake as well....but I'd also hope for a door number 3. The truth is that we don't know the heart of the instructor's

  8. Should I argue this? about IV push test

    CuriousMe replied to lalalalexi's topic in General Students

    Here's what mine says: Famotidine IV Administration Direct IV: Diluent: 0.9% NaCl, D5W, D10W, or LR.Concentration: 4 mg/ml.. Rate: Administer at a rate of 10 mg/min. Rapid administration may cause...

  9. Should I argue this? about IV push test

    CuriousMe replied to lalalalexi's topic in General Students

    Hmmm....I'm not a math genius, but it's seems to be that 5 - 10 means between 5 and 10. 5, 10 means 5 or 10. So, it seems to me that 7mL is between 5 and 10. Also, they only had 3mL syringes but...

  10. I didn't know this could happen!

    CuriousMe replied to MsLEE2121's topic in General Students

    Maybe the instructor interpreted the slow pace as, the student didn't know the meds well enough? I'd advise the student to make an appointment to speak with the instructor to find out the instructor's...

  11. School's hidden agenda, "NCLEX pass rate: Weed out students who will not pass"

    CuriousMe replied to Bala Shark's topic in General Students

    Not in my state they can't. The state Board of Nursing requires that you graduate from an accredited nursing program. The reason for this is that nursing is more than just book work. The NCLEX...

  12. School's hidden agenda, "NCLEX pass rate: Weed out students who will not pass"

    CuriousMe replied to Bala Shark's topic in General Students

    Well, I think that failing NCLEX means they aren't a licensed nurse. The reality is that it doesn't matter who well any of us did in nursing school if we can't pass the boards. Now, if the question...

  13. I didn't know this could happen!

    CuriousMe replied to MsLEE2121's topic in General Students

    Was she late or slow? Because they're different things (granted that being slow can make you late...but they are still different issues). Did she give the meds outside of the prescribed time? Or...

  14. nursing class website

    CuriousMe replied to larien37's topic in General Students

    You could create a google group....but I would double check with your school first. A group representing them (your class, represents them) on the internet, could make them unhappy. There could...

  15. Wong-Baker FACES pain rating scale

    CuriousMe replied to lynzjo12's topic in General Students

    There are a lot of tools that help a person describe what they are feeling....only the Wong-Baker FACES rating scale uses the cartoon faces. D is a much more specific answer....that makes it more...

  16. Advice with offer of 'blended learning'...

    CuriousMe replied to nimchimpskii's topic in General Students

    How comfortable are you with online classes? I think that if you're comfortable with using technology as a delivery device, go for it. One of the challenges of nursing school is just...

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

    CuriousMe replied to Brie80's topic in General Students

    In the real world there's a name for folks who know that someone has killed someone and doesn't report it....the name is accomplice. Could get you a bunch of years in prison. Yes, if a family member...

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

    CuriousMe replied to Brie80's topic in General Students

    I'm just curious, does your school have an honor policy? I ask because every school I've attended has had a policy that basically states that knowledge that someone is cheating and not reporting it...

  19. Please Somebody! I need advice ASAP!

    CuriousMe replied to BrittanyMOSmith's topic in General Students

    Work over the summers (if you don't have class) to gain experience. Quit your job and focus on school during the school term, I think you'll be much

  20. help with defining strength and weakness

    CuriousMe replied to tashasue's topic in General Students

    I guess I'm confused....strengths and weaknesses? For our care plans we have a nursing diagnosis, the outcome criteria or goals for the Dx, what nursing interventions we'll perform to reach those...

  21. Failure rate of nursing schools.

    CuriousMe replied to merrywhiterose's topic in General Students

    My BSN program started with 54 students and after the first year we lost 6....but gained 6 from the year

  22. This is gonna be one heck of a semester!!!!!!

    CuriousMe replied to amaxiechRN2011's topic in General Students

    Sorry you had a tough day. I will say that I'm surprised that your nursing school didn't approach your friend re: her tattoos before the nurse did. The schools in my area require all tattoos to be...

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

    CuriousMe replied to Brie80's topic in General Students

    OP I'm really glad that you decided to go to your professor. Reporting what you saw realistically has nothing to do with the student you witnessed cheating; it has everything to do with your...

  24. Burnout right before finals??

    CuriousMe replied to MattiesMama's topic in General Students

    Congrats on starting earlier :-) One thing I've done with friends when we're all fried and just can't study anymore is play trivial prusuit but use the flash cards we've made to study with as the...

  25. Why is LVN to RN a waste of time?

    CuriousMe replied to Divest's topic in General Students

    Well yeah, but is your area in CA? Because that person you quoted was and so was the OP. OP: No education is a waste of time. You've obviously decided that LVN is the route for you....no matter...
