  1. Informatics RN vs. Allied Halth Management Degree??

    CuriousMe replied to shugrr22107NA's topic in General Students

    To the best of my knowledge, for informatics you'd still need to get through nursing school. Which could definitely be hard on your back if it's injured. Best of luck as you go

  2. Are Nursing schools hurting Nursing?

    CuriousMe replied to is5512's topic in General Students

    Since I wrote that last post, let me clarify. I didn't suggest that it's ok for schools to pass only the brightest and most competitive; I answered your question: and then the clarified question...

  3. Are Nursing schools hurting Nursing?

    CuriousMe replied to is5512's topic in General Students

    If you're looking for a yes/no...I'm going to say no. Having a 4.0 doesn't preclude an applicant from being caring, compassionate, etc (just like having a 3.0 doesn't preclude the applicant from...

  4. Are Nursing schools hurting Nursing?

    CuriousMe replied to is5512's topic in General Students

    I think that nursing school's are trying to do more with less. Processing hundreds of applications takes time & cash, interviewing or reading the essays of hundreds of people takes more time...

  5. Are nursing instructors really that bad?

    CuriousMe replied to Kyla.ann's topic in General Students

    I just finished my first year and I've had phenomenal instructors. We use quarters instead of semesters, so over the year I've had three different clinical instructors and probably 6 or 7 lab...

  6. Do you bring your laptop to class/lecture?

    CuriousMe replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Students

    Glad to know you're taking responsability for your

  7. Freshmen in Community College

    CuriousMe replied to DEstrada820's topic in General Students

    hmmmm....so, i'm curious why you've decided on the pa route. have you looked at advanced practice nursing (nurse practitioner, certified registered nurse anesthetist, etc)? it just seems that it...

  8. Getting into nursing but have OCD

    CuriousMe replied to Guest717002's topic in General Students

    I took Erika's post to mean not that the OP could will themself to not have OCD, but that (as your post pointed out CalebMommy) that they could work to manage it, so it doesn't manage them as much. I...

  9. how important is microbiology in nursing

    CuriousMe replied to deepurple's topic in General Students

    We also used info from micro in pharmacology when learning about all the classes antibiotics and when we learned about antivirals. So, just like A&P/Pathophysiology....folks who didn't learn it...

  10. Those of you who understand chemistry well

    CuriousMe replied to ccjus123's topic in General Students

    I'll second what DolceVita said. Check with an adviser at SUNY Downstate, they'll likely have a list of course numbers at various schools in the area of approved courses. As far as freaking out about...

  11. Debating between two programs, advice?

    CuriousMe replied to snvplayer's topic in General Students

    Whoops Sorry :-) The other thing to consider is as an international student, is English your first language? Would you have a better shot of success with the pace of the traditional BSN? Peace,...

  12. Do you bring your laptop to class/lecture?

    CuriousMe replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Students

    Absolutely. I'd say that half the time I write my notes and half the time I type....really it depends on the lecture topic (ie are there a lot of diagrams, or symbols like in chemistry or math?) as...

  13. Debating between two programs, advice?

    CuriousMe replied to snvplayer's topic in General Students

    You say that Shenandoah is just a little cheaper? If it's not a big difference, I'd go ahead and choose Michigan. You're right in that their nursing program is very well known. Not only will name...

  14. Do you bring your laptop to class/lecture?

    CuriousMe replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure how to answer your question. Since OneNote is software on my computer, I don't use it at all if I don't bring my laptop to school with me. I also always bring my laptop to lecutre,...

  15. I need your help Allnurses.

    CuriousMe replied to Prettyladie's topic in General Students

    I was in a similar situation Spring of '08, but I needed 4 credits. I took Group Piano for 2 credits and White Water Rafting for 2 credits. It was great to develop fun skills. Peace,

  16. Freshmen in Community College

    CuriousMe replied to DEstrada820's topic in General Students

    My first request is please change your font. It's really hard to read. As for your question, I would talk to advisers at the PA programs you want to apply to. They'll give you an idea of what...

  17. Do you bring your laptop to class/lecture?

    CuriousMe replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Students

    Don't be sorry :-) It's software from Microsoft and part of the Microsoft Office suite. Here's a link to their information page about it:...

  18. Do you bring your laptop to class/lecture?

    CuriousMe replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Students

    Yes, I believe it's made to do that. The other nice thing is that you can share a OneNote notebook on a server. So, say there was a faculty committee that was working on a project, The project team...

  19. Do you bring your laptop to class/lecture?

    CuriousMe replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I don't take it to clinicals, I just take my PDA to clinicals (it has all my resources...ie drug books, iv drug book, Tabers, Dx book, lab values, etc). Laptops will overheat if you don't let...

  20. Do you bring your laptop to class/lecture?

    CuriousMe replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Students

    Very true about learning styles. I also need to write to understand. That's why I write my notes on my tablet laptop (see the link below). The screen of my laptop swivels around and then lies flat...

  21. Do you bring your laptop to class/lecture?

    CuriousMe replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Students

    It all sounds complicated. I'll stick to my tablet laptop. I can still write, it still records, it still does a word search for my handwritten notes and it still synchronizes the audio recording...

  22. Do you bring your laptop to class/lecture?

    CuriousMe replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Students

    Uhm....sorry to be the old grumpy one, but I'd say if you have a "long boring class like pharmacology," then what you should do is pay extra attention! Pharmacology is important stuff and if you...

  23. Insulin onset and peak

    CuriousMe replied to 2011ONCRN's topic in General Students

    I just used flashcards to memorize the different kinds, but for drawing it up, we used RN you draw up Regular, then

  24. Why Are So Many Students Worried About Expensive Tuition

    CuriousMe replied to khiasdestiny's topic in General Nursing

    Just because I'm curious (the name isn't a coincidence ) how much is a university degree? How much is a graduate university degree (equivalent of a Masters or Phd) ? Peace,

  25. Do you bring your laptop to class/lecture?

    CuriousMe replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Students

    That makes sense, I don't bring my laptop to clinicals. I use a PDA there....can still scribble, and it has all my resource books (drug book, Dx book, lab values book, Tabers, etc). Peace,
