  1. Cumulative GPA & PRE-req GPA & which program?

    CuriousMe replied to JustJane2008's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I'm probably just interpreting what I read incorrectly, but I wanted to clarify....OHSU, OCNE is a BS program. PCC is a, non-OCNE, ADN program (at least for another year)....so a graduate there would...

  2. What do you do on breaks from school?

    CuriousMe replied to MaleRNin2010's topic in General Students

    I confess my first reaction to your post title was, "She gets breaks?" But that's just me being a wise...uhm....alleck . For my winter break I'm flying to see my family on the east coast. I haven't...

  3. It seems cruel to keep him alive!

    CuriousMe replied to EscapeTheDungeon's topic in General Students

    Since "vegetable" can mean a lot of different things....You say he can blink, is he responsive? Can he answer yes/no questions? If yes, I'm assuming he's been asked what he wants? If no, does he...

  4. Venting about classmates with families...

    CuriousMe replied to moncj66's topic in General Students

    First of all, I did say I felt insulted...I didn't reason out that I was insulted....people feel what they feel. Knowing what they intended to ask, doesn't make the question less insulting....it just...

  5. Venting about classmates with families...

    CuriousMe replied to moncj66's topic in General Students

    As a happily single woman with no children....my favorite question is, "Do you have any family?" to which I often answer, "No, I was hatched from an egg." I know that they mean to ask if I have a...

  6. grades

    CuriousMe replied to premedturnednursing's topic in General Students

    I tend to ask folks if they did as well as they wanted to...I do this intentially as everyone has different benchmarks as to what "doing well" is. If they hit their benchmark, I want to celebrate...

  7. Chem Spring 2008

    CuriousMe replied to kristi1111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ok, i confess i didn't do the math. but what you need to do is to start with 15 grams of amonia and then do the stoichiometry to figure out how much of h you start with, then do the whole thing again...

  8. No laptops in class, seriously?

    CuriousMe replied to mothersuess's topic in General Students

    To the OP: I'm so glad you're able to use your laptop. I know mine really helps me to stay organized! I do use my laptop in class, but as it's a tablet, there's no clicky sounds since I write on it...

  9. Our government made it so I can't take out private student loans....

    CuriousMe replied to justus4's topic in General Students

    I've never understood the unilateral judgment from some posters when the words "student loans" come up......especially in posts when an OP is obviously already feeling a bit desperate. Comments...

  10. What color scrubs does your school make you wear for clinicals??

    CuriousMe replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    Navy Blue scrubs, v-necked top and regular bottoms. 3/4 length white lab coat. All white leather shoes (can be sneakers if they are only white). Oh and we need to have the school patch on the left...

  11. Am I crazy?? Taking 15 credits??

    CuriousMe replied to Buffy31's topic in General Students

    I think you'll be fine, for most bachelor programs you need to take 15-18 credits a term in order to graduate on time. Peace,

  12. Chemistry & Anatomy help :\

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

    hey there, i made one little change. a positive ion has more protons than electrons this is because protons are positive and electrons are negative so if there are more more +'s than -'s it's...

  13. Nomenclam... WHAT?!!? Calling Chemists...

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

    If you're working on general chemistry nomenclature (not organic-carbon based chem) then really....it's just straight memorization of the pieces (ie polyatomic ions, and the prefixes and suffixes) I...

  14. What kind of study area do you have/use???

    CuriousMe replied to luvmy3kids's topic in General Students

    I like Borders as well....I go and get a pot of tea (yes I do sometimes get funny looks when I explain I only need one cup :) ) and sit for hours sudying and getting wired on caffeine

  15. What kind of study area do you have/use???

    CuriousMe replied to luvmy3kids's topic in General Students

    i've decided i want your study area it sounds perfect! i can't stand computer desks that only have room for the computer. i generally need computer room, writing room and book room. now i'm...

  16. What Happened after you received you Acceptance Letter?

    CuriousMe replied to Sl1011's topic in General Students

    I was accepted to two different schools and each did it differently. The first acceptance I received was from my CC and was an e-mail with a bunch of attached letters that spoke about scholarship...

  17. school with only private loans?

    CuriousMe replied to njdx1205's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing programs can be approved by the state BON and not be academically accredited. If this is the case, it will only matter if you want to try to go on with your education (go from LPN to...

  18. school with only private loans?

    CuriousMe replied to njdx1205's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your financial aid office should know which private lenders they are on "the list" for. Peace,

  19. Possibilities for a Minor?

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

    So the learning is only a waste if it happens to coincide with a minor? All a minor is, is a succession of classes in one topic outside of your major. I'm pursuing a minor because I had to take the...

  20. Possibilities for a Minor?

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

    I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I don't think that learning more is a waste. I think my extra organic and biochemistry coursework will prove helpful in my understanding of both my undergrad...

  21. Possibilities for a Minor?

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

    I'm minoring in chemistry and obviously don't think they are a waste.....how could showing proficiency in a different topic be a waste? My program requires me to complete 13-15 credits of upper level...

  22. Entrance Essay for BSN at University

    CuriousMe replied to OCBreeze4u's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is this for entrance to the University or for entrance to the nursing program at the University? Is there an essay question that you have to

    CuriousMe replied to itsa307's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    it just creates it as an mp3 file...if i'm going over my notes, i just listen to it on my laptop, but i also often copy lectures to my ipod and listen while walking or when i'm at the gym. i don't...

  24. Laptops for Lecture Notes ~ Anatomy

    CuriousMe replied to itsa307's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There's record button on the toolbar :-D It looks like a little microphone. You can also find it under the insert menu (I use 2007). Oh and I've had a Prof who didn't let laptops in his class, but I...

  25. Laptops for Lecture Notes ~ Anatomy

    CuriousMe replied to itsa307's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    :yeahthat: If it's a class I don't record I'll sometimes use Journal, just because it's less complicated. But for the biggies like A&P, I recorded using OneNote so the recording and my notes...
