  1. Why Are So Many Students Worried About Expensive Tuition

    CuriousMe replied to khiasdestiny's topic in General Nursing

    Here are the costs for Duke's SON:

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

    CuriousMe replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Students

    I agree that I sometimes remember things better from writing, that's why I got a tablet computer. I can write or type, depending on the situation. Peace,

  3. Why Are So Many Students Worried About Expensive Tuition

    CuriousMe replied to khiasdestiny's topic in General Nursing

    Well heck.....if I knew about the egg mcmuffin I would have gladly shared my PG Tips (the best tea in a tea bag, IMHO) and my hot buttered toast with you! As far as the quote, I should have said: a...

  4. Why Are So Many Students Worried About Expensive Tuition

    CuriousMe replied to khiasdestiny's topic in General Nursing

    I get that you think me saying a Prof judging her students and then sharing that judgment is over-reacting. I just obviously disagree with that sentiment. I'm not upset, I just think that what the...

  5. Why Are So Many Students Worried About Expensive Tuition

    CuriousMe replied to khiasdestiny's topic in General Nursing

    Well, for some reason you directed your response to Hiddencat, but are obviously speaking of my post...so I'll go ahead and reply. I find it amusing that calling young students at a private school...

  6. Why Are So Many Students Worried About Expensive Tuition

    CuriousMe replied to khiasdestiny's topic in General Nursing

    thanks I got the point, but stand by my comments. I'm an older student going back to school and not an 18-year old in a CC; it's not personal. I just think those comments shouldn't have been made to...

  7. Why Are So Many Students Worried About Expensive Tuition

    CuriousMe replied to khiasdestiny's topic in General Nursing

    ....and in doing so gave a fabulous example of judging private school kids. No matter who she said those things in front of. I'm really glad she's teaching folks she deems worthy of learning

  8. Why Are So Many Students Worried About Expensive Tuition

    CuriousMe replied to khiasdestiny's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! So glad that she was able to model an unbiased attitude for you and your class! I can see the quality you're speaking

  9. Why Are So Many Students Worried About Expensive Tuition

    CuriousMe replied to khiasdestiny's topic in General Nursing

    Sit down & look it up time? Who said that? I was assuming you did check a drug book/PDA of some sort that's all. The MOA, pharmacodynamics, pharmoacokinetics, etc. should be known d/t the class...

  10. Why Are So Many Students Worried About Expensive Tuition

    CuriousMe replied to khiasdestiny's topic in General Nursing

    No, but if we all paid big fees to be a part of it, we wouldn't have to put up with them testing out new versions of their software on the live server. They would have enough resources to run it in...

  11. Why Are So Many Students Worried About Expensive Tuition

    CuriousMe replied to khiasdestiny's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, just had to give a different perspective here. I'm sure there are BSN programs that aren't as competitive or as thorough as your ADN program, but I'm equally sure there are other ADN's that...

  12. Are you a competitive Nursing Student?

    CuriousMe replied to VidaUrbana's topic in General Students

    I agree, not competitive, but I am ambitious. The only person I compete with is myself. But yes, I do work hard and try to keep a high GPA. I know it likely won't matter to employers or anything,...

  13. Why Are So Many Students Worried About Expensive Tuition

    CuriousMe replied to khiasdestiny's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that it's not a clear cut/cookie cutter decision. Everyone's at a different spot in life and has a different set of circumstances. At the same time, that doesn't mean the CC is always the...

  14. Advice to a pre-nursing student?

    CuriousMe replied to RetroReactive's topic in General Students

    My advice is similar to CrunchyMama's, I do swear by flashcards for anatomy....but only the ones I made. I would look at the material and think of a question (either for a factual answer or a concept...

  15. Question about school supplies

    CuriousMe replied to larien37's topic in General Students

    I did go ahead and get a spendier stethoscope, but I also got the dang thing engraved with my name and in a color that I haven't seen on anyone else. So, it hasn't walked

  16. Best and worst part of being a nursing student?

    CuriousMe replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    Great post OP. I do need to disagree with some of the posts though....just goes to show you that different folks have different learning styles. I HATE doing case studies in class. I'd much rather...

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

    CuriousMe replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Students

    I've used OneNote through my pre-reqs and now through my first year of my nursing program. I just use the Print to OneNote print driver to import PowerPoints and haven't had any trouble at all....

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

    CuriousMe replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Students

    I also use a Tablet & Microsoft Onenote. The best best tool I ever bought for school, hands down. Sometimes I write on the slides, sometimes I type on them....it depends on the slides and the...

  19. Working Full-Time

    CuriousMe replied to Fedwork10's topic in General Students

    Like others have said, I think it depends on a lot of different things. Definately your academic abilities, your other time commitments outside of school, what you consider academic success, and...

  20. Can I become a CNA after completing Nursing Fundamentals?

    CuriousMe replied to Felicia327's topic in General Students

    Our state recently stopped that as well. I asked one of our Prof.'s and she said it was because the curriculum in the first year wasn't the same as what is covered in an LPN program. The two groups...

  21. morphine infusion, what will you do

    CuriousMe replied to jchan0425's topic in General Students

    Interesting NCLEX strategy.....I might try a different one

  22. morphine infusion, what will you do

    CuriousMe replied to jchan0425's topic in General Students

    Well, yeah...but, since your answer wasn't a choice which answer would you

  23. morphine infusion, what will you do

    CuriousMe replied to jchan0425's topic in General Students

    I like 4 as well, for the same reasons you

  24. WANTED: Nursing student tidbits of advice

    CuriousMe replied to KellRrn2b's topic in General Students

    Personally, I don't like roller bags. In order to survive the heavy load of books, the wheel structure has to be pretty substantial and I find them so dang heavy empty. Once I fill it up, it's just...

  25. WANTED: Nursing student tidbits of advice

    CuriousMe replied to KellRrn2b's topic in General Students

    I went another way for the same effect. I have a tablet convertible laptop. So, it's just like a regular laptop, except when it's open, you can spin the screen around and then lay it flat (so the...
