  1. Nursing Tuition off the Chain!! Need Help!!

    CuriousMe replied to JoI8815's topic in General Students

    No, I don't think that an undergrad degree from a prestigious school will overcome bad grades or test scores, an unimpressive essay and a lousy interview....but if there are multiple candidates who's...

  2. Nursing Tuition off the Chain!! Need Help!!

    CuriousMe replied to JoI8815's topic in General Students

    However, where you got your undergrad, and how well you did, might help you get into a better grad school program if that's something you're interested

  3. What should i do about college and how does it work?

    CuriousMe replied to findingmyway's topic in Nursing Career

    You can transfer anywhere you want. Although I don't really see the advantage of doing your GE at Cal State and then transferring to an ADN program. You speak of wanting the best of both worlds, but...

  4. Should students be penalized due to Instructors Mistake ?

    CuriousMe replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I read it the other way around....the test was mis-keyed, so folks who marked the wrong answer got credit and the folks who marked the right answer didn't get credit. This wasn't discovered for 6...

  5. Should students be penalized due to Instructors Mistake ?

    CuriousMe replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    You're right, there are cut offs for a reason. If they didn't get the question right, they shouldn't get points for it....there are cut off's for a reason. Seems to be the most fair thing in the...

  6. Should students be penalized due to Instructors Mistake ?

    CuriousMe replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I agree that this is an effective way to address concerns of the class....however in this case, I'd be surprised if the whole class would stand up for this situation. The original grade was unfair...

  7. Question...what's your HONEST opinion?

    CuriousMe replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Students

    Well yeah, but skinny and fit aren't the same thing either. So, yes I think we can agree that nurses should be able to physically work their shift. The problem is, that you can't tell that by...

  8. PCC Nursing class of 2011, thread Anyone find out?

    CuriousMe replied to Motivatedtolearn's topic in Oregon Nursing

    No worries, congrats on your acceptance! I'm sure Linfield is a fine school, I'm actually just finishing my first year in OHSU's OCNE curriculum and I think it's a great program. Peace,

  9. First Semester NS

    CuriousMe replied to dcRn2b's topic in General Students

    I only know my program....it's just plain more work. More reading, more assignments, more responsibilities....just more material and that's just the theory classes...then you throw lab, clinical and...

  10. Anyone attend NGCSU?

    CuriousMe replied to %63theend's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I've never seen a university actually say it's a year wait...they just say apply by Dec to start in the Fall.

  11. Anyone attend NGCSU?

    CuriousMe replied to %63theend's topic in General Students

    I don't go to that school, I'm in my first year of NS in another state....but I will say that that applying in November for the following September is pretty common. Best of everything as you figure...

  12. PCC Nursing class of 2011, thread Anyone find out?

    CuriousMe replied to Motivatedtolearn's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Thanks, that's what I thought....was just confused by the statement saying they were part of OCNE, but no guaranteed

  13. First Semester NS

    CuriousMe replied to dcRn2b's topic in General Students

    Do relax and enjoy your summer....if you're inclined to pick up a book or two though...I'd review developmental stages (Erikson, Piaget, etc) and refresh yourself on your A&P. Congrats! Peace,...

  14. I think i'm making a huge mistake

    CuriousMe replied to luckystudentnurseRN's topic in General Students

    It doesn't sound like you're ready to apply to a program? Once you apply you then have to wait to hear whether you get in. Why not finish your LVN while going through that

  15. I think i'm making a huge mistake

    CuriousMe replied to luckystudentnurseRN's topic in General Students

    Again, there are a lot of variables. How much longer is the program, how much money would you be out? Why don't you want to finish, what changed? What would you do instead, have you been accepted...

  16. I think i'm making a huge mistake

    CuriousMe replied to luckystudentnurseRN's topic in General Students

    Sorry, I'm confused....is the Accerlated BSN or MSN route the route you don't want to go or is the LVN the route you don't want to go.....also, why did you decide it wasn't the way to go? I ask...

  17. What should i do about college and how does it work?

    CuriousMe replied to findingmyway's topic in Nursing Career

    Consider going to Community College for your pre-reqs...but at your age, I would definitely just go ahead and get my BSN. You don't don't what you'll want later on, and at your age the "college...

  18. PCC Nursing class of 2011, thread Anyone find out?

    CuriousMe replied to Motivatedtolearn's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Are they part of OCNE yet? I thought they had one more year before joining OCNE. Congrats on your acceptance! Peace,

  19. How many clinical hours does your school have?

    CuriousMe replied to nursing8648's topic in General Students

    BSN - 1440

  20. eczema and latex allergy

    CuriousMe replied to gorgor's topic in General Students

    They're better than vinyl gloves....but I think Nitrile gloves are pretty comparable. Really, I wouldn't stress. Hospitals have to provide employees with gloves that they're not allergic to....it's...

  21. Reading alot of posts discussing "A" nursing students vs "C" nursing students

    CuriousMe replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I should mention as well that we need to pass both clinical and theory to pass the class...you can't use a good grade in one, to pass in the other.....so that's similar to what you're talking about....

  22. Reading alot of posts discussing "A" nursing students vs "C" nursing students

    CuriousMe replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Mine aren't. They count for half my grade, so I'm in Acute Care II and it's 6 credits. 50% of my grade is from my theory class and 50% of my grade is from clinicals & lab...mostly clinicals....

  23. HESI question: Please Read all the way.

    CuriousMe replied to jollydogg_RN's topic in General Students

    I think what folks are trying to get across is that if you weren't so close to the pass mark, the issue of a problem on one (possibly two) of the 4 times you took your exams would never have been an...

  24. Do you snitch on cheaters?

    CuriousMe replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    nope, don't feel slighted by folks cheating....truly they are just cheating themselves....i think they'll find it much harder to cheat through the hessi or nclex and then where will they be? i've...

  25. Why is Nursing School so cut throat and competitive???

    CuriousMe replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    I think it depends on your program. The one I'm in isn't cut throat competitive at all. In fact, I think most of us look at the next few years as, we're all in this together so the more we can all...
