  1. Become Nurse While Working With the Needy

    CuriousMe replied to PeterFromCharleston's topic in General Students

    Are you looking to do your clinical training in an under-served area or are you looking for the volunteering you do in a clinic to be in exchange for tuition? If it's the former, many programs have...

  2. Should I Retake Chemistry/Biology??

    CuriousMe replied to BayAreaCarrie's topic in General Students

    I think that before you take anything again, you should talk to the advisors at whatever nursing programs you're applying to. Some nursing programs only look at the grades from the first time you...

  4. How do you decide which pre-reqs to take first?

    CuriousMe replied to Ted D's topic in General Students

    I think taking some of your sciences without knowing where you might apply will be fine, but going much father than this term without having an idea of who you're shooting for risks delaying your...

  5. Anyone using Microsoft OneNote to take notes during nursing school?

    CuriousMe replied to HopeForMelissa's topic in General Students

    Are you using a trial of OneNote Melissa? It definitely sounds like OneNote's printer driver isn't

  6. I HATE this Doctor! Caution: vent inside!

    CuriousMe replied to Student4Now's topic in General Students

    great info on the patho of what's happening daytonite. it totally makes sense to me that she wouldn't be given narcotics instead of an antibiotic, but as you said, the pain is caused by the...

    CuriousMe replied to Student4Now's topic in General Students

    Wow! I've never heard of a Doc with holding narcotics for pain relief on the outside chance the patient was pregnant. Can anyone else speak to whether this is a common practice? OP: sorry you're...

  8. What is the real deal with lisa arend's notes

    CuriousMe replied to java12's topic in General Students

    Don't know a thing about Lisa Arend's notes.....other than it looks like someone figured out how to help pay for nursing school

  9. Anyone using Microsoft OneNote to take notes during nursing school?

  10. critical thinking

    CuriousMe replied to okpnstudent's topic in General Students

    Maybe you should start with defining to yourself what critical thinking skills are? Might be a place for you to

  11. Anyone using Microsoft OneNote to take notes during nursing school?

    CuriousMe replied to HopeForMelissa's topic in General Students

    I just finished my first year of nursing school (3 year BS program). I've used Microsoft OneNote for two years of pre-reqs and through my first year of NS. I love it!! I do have a tablet...

  12. OHSU B.S. Program

    CuriousMe replied to al_e135's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Ashland (on SOU's campus), Kalamath Falls, (OIT's campus), LaGrande (EOU's campus), Monmoth (WOU's campus). One reason Portland's program is hard to get into (besides the fact that it's in Portland)...

  13. Effective PowerPoint Presentations

    CuriousMe replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Unfortunately this policy also keeps students from taking notes digitally using the PowerPoint file. I'd say that at least 40% of my class takes notes on their laptop. Most folks type their notes...

  14. Celebratory Rituals for acceptance to Clinical Program, Graduating, or passing NCLEX

    CuriousMe replied to AriesPanda's topic in General Students

    I don't know if this counts....but to celebrate surviving our first year of NS, most of my class met an hour after out last final and spend the day white water rafting, then BBQ'ing and topped off the...

  15. Are Nursing schools hurting Nursing?

    CuriousMe replied to is5512's topic in General Students

    I'm trying to follow you, I really am....so because there were students in your freshman year of classes that weren't mature enough to see the value of education beyond their next exam.....now college...

  16. tell me I'm not crazy

    CuriousMe replied to tambea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did all my pre-reqs at a community college and transferred into my BSN without issue. Do double check with whatever university you're looking to attend, but I'd be surprised if there was an issue...

  17. Do you think this was rude?

    CuriousMe replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, nothing rude here. You asked for a transcript, and the woman who worked there told you what you needed in order to get a transcript....nothing rude there. Each school has their own peculiarities...

  18. Type of calculator needed for pharmacology class

    CuriousMe replied to Truth14's topic in General Students

    Actually, not only did we not need a fancy calculator...we weren't allowed to use one. We were only allowed to use a basic 4 function (+, -, x, /)

  19. Are Nursing schools hurting Nursing?

    CuriousMe replied to is5512's topic in General Students

    You've asked a lot of questions (that included sweeping generalizations) and through all of them, you seemed to have the "right" answer in your mind that you were trying to guide folks to get...

  20. Are Nursing schools hurting Nursing?

    CuriousMe replied to is5512's topic in General Students

    I don't know that folks in this forum can really speak to that question. None of us have any experience with the old-style NCLEX. But it does seem that you're pretty determined that nursing is being...

  21. Attn Commuters: What do you always have in your bag?

    CuriousMe replied to AriesPanda's topic in General Students

    Another ADHD'er here. I just keep the info sheet that comes with my meds each month in my backpack (it has my name, the drug name, the date I picked up the script and my Doc's name). I figure if...

  22. Random Thoughts: From a Nursing Student

    CuriousMe replied to VidaUrbana's topic in General Students

    You're just starting out, you're supposed to suck....the important thing is that when you get feedback about how you suck, you use that to grow and learn (your CI doesn't hate you, they're trying to...

  23. Any Interview tips here ? please.....

    CuriousMe replied to shiina,RN's topic in General Students

    I agree with the firm handshake....I'd disagree with the answer right away bit though. I would say to take a thoughtful pause, and answer with a confident, concise response. It's not a paper where a...

  24. Tell me how do YOU study.

    CuriousMe replied to Prettyladie's topic in General Students

    Well that's a big question.....but I'll give it a shot. I always read the assigned reading before class (if I'm short on time I at least skim through it looking at subject headers and bolded info,...

  25. would love to be nurse, but a bit anti-social

    CuriousMe replied to Ms Li's topic in General Students

    Right, but there might be another way to deal with it than to walk away. You can't walk away from your patient. I didn't mean to infer that you were lazy, just that avoiding drama by avoiding...
