  1. Student Loans :-(

    CuriousMe replied to May2009's topic in General Students

    I think you're right ccakes....there is no one "right" answer. We all have to balance our lives in the way that makes the most sense for each of us as individuals. Sometimes that is sacrificing by...

  2. bronchodilator

    CuriousMe replied to Amy2005's topic in General Students

    I've had both of those drugs in forms where I had to dilute them and in forms where they were premixed. Does is day on the packaging what % is drug (vs

  3. Lonely College Student

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

    I'm old now, so I don't remember a specific instance, but there are tens of thousands of success stories like you're speaking of.....I think that your story is one of the most common ones regarding...

  4. Do you type you notes on Index Cards?

    CuriousMe replied to SA2BDOCTOR's topic in General Students

    Here's a free template from Mead for index cards. I generally just print them out on paper cut them out and glue stick them on cards....

  5. Back rub program

    CuriousMe replied to jer053171's topic in General Students

    I was taught to give backrubs at hs or bedbath this term in nursing school. So, it's not just something that was only taught before the wheel was invented :) I'd second the question to the OP though,...

  6. Dorming versus not dorming

    CuriousMe replied to xlilchatonx's topic in General Students

    Did your school not offer singles? I know I couldn't share a room at this point in my life, but living in the dorm (in my own room) in the 24 hour quiet hall has been wonderful. Peace,

  7. Dorming versus not dorming

    CuriousMe replied to xlilchatonx's topic in General Students

    I'm living in the dorm right now for my first year of nursing school. For the most part, I really enjoy it. I don't have to deal with very much of "real life." No worrying about bills, or even if I...

  8. considering nursing school at 45 yo

    CuriousMe replied to turtlesrus's topic in General Students

    This perspective comes with to many assumptions. You're assuming that the 19 year-old will stay in nursing for their entire career (I'm not going to find a link now, but the statistical trend is to...

  9. SO nervous - any help here?

    CuriousMe replied to averna's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry to say that I think you're the only one who can answer your question. Even if there's someone out here that has gone through the same exact thing, that would be their decision and...

  10. Are PDA's Really Necessary?

    CuriousMe replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    I'm guessing they're including a lot of software for $700. I found a new (not refurbished) Palm TX for $263...but some of the nursing packages are just as much...if not more than that. Peace,...

  11. Interviewing for Schools

    CuriousMe replied to Gurmo's topic in General Students

    Many, many nursing programs have way more applicants than available seats and don't interview. I heard stats like there were 900+ applicants for 125 seats in my program.....and we were required to...

  12. Interviewing for Schools

    CuriousMe replied to Gurmo's topic in General Students

    I had essays and not interviews for nursing school. But I can't imagine that they're going to ask you nursing content questions.....they have your academic transcript, so they can see your academic...

  13. Sna/nsna

    CuriousMe replied to sunsg32's topic in General Students

    I'm an officer for my school's SNA chapter. We provide NCLEX study resources, sponsor trips to NSNA conferences, provide free printing for nursing students in our nursing computer lab and other...

  14. Barnes & Noble member?

    CuriousMe replied to blessedx2's topic in General Students

    I'm a Borders member. It's free and I still get 20 -30% off of most of my purchases (there's a different coupon every week or so). They also enroll you in their "Perks" program....through that....I...

  15. I don't know what to do.

    CuriousMe replied to Me, SN's topic in General Students

    I think you have to go to the Director of your program and explain everything, including your fear of

  16. Flu Shot and TB test taken 7 days apart okay?

    CuriousMe replied to Annieh1315's topic in General Students

    It might specifiy varicella because varicella is a live (attenuated) virus. The flu shot is not a live virus. If it didn't specify flu shot, I wouldn't

  17. my heart is breaking

    CuriousMe replied to raygun354's topic in General Students

    Congrats on getting in!!! I would talk to someone at either the registrar or admissions (or both) before throwing in the towel. You never know, they may waive the fee or work out something with you....

    CuriousMe replied to Lulellafaith's topic in General Students

  20. Certified Nurse's Aid

    CuriousMe replied to foreverLaur's topic in General Students

    So, as an EMT-B you were taught to do Bed Baths, transfer patients and put support hose on patients? That's the kind of stuff they taught in my CNA class. Seems you would spend a lot more energy...

  24. Do you use your Laptop in class?

    CuriousMe replied to Scooter5's topic in General Students

    Sorry, I should have been more clear. The handouts are posted on our class website and we're responsible for printing them out each

  25. Do you use your Laptop in class?

    CuriousMe replied to Scooter5's topic in General Students

    Yes! Just about every class. I have a tablet convertible though. So, it can either work like a regular laptop, or the screen swivels around and lies flat....then I write on it like a tablet of...
