  1. Grades don't matter!

    CuriousMe replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, I disagree. I don't just want the compassionate, nice nurse....I want the nurse who knows their stuff! Truthfully, I'd like both....but if I have to choose, I'll take the socially inept...

  2. Pre-Nursing: Swinging school on single salary?

    CuriousMe replied to TinyMuggle's topic in General Nursing

    no problem, misunderstandings happen. Peace,

  3. Pre-Nursing: Swinging school on single salary?

    CuriousMe replied to TinyMuggle's topic in General Nursing

    To be fair, I don't think that OP was offended by the statement C=degree....but by the rally cry of it. I think she was addressing folks who are just looking to get by and justifying it by saying...

  4. Pre-Nursing: Swinging school on single salary?

    CuriousMe replied to TinyMuggle's topic in General Nursing

    For some reason, some people on this board have very strong feelings on this topic. There's the camp that says everyone can work full-time while going to school full-time since they did and that it's...

  5. How many hours should i be studying a day?

    CuriousMe replied to NursingStudent-Tati's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just starting nursing school in fall '08, but I've been told (and did this for my prereqs) to consider it a full time job. So, work from 8-5 at least 5 days a week. If you don't start class till...

  6. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    CuriousMe replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You're right of course, it's not the same for everyone. I don't know that it started that way though.....I'm guessing the percentage of folks who want a tourist visa from Mexico (who don't have a lot...

  7. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    CuriousMe replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I hear what you're saying, but struggle as well. I know to many folks who worked far to hard to jump through the hoops and immigrate legally. Folks who are here illegally make things harder for...

  8. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    CuriousMe replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Just curious.....how did you get to the farmer's market where everything is inexpensive? Do they take food stamps? It's expensive to be poor in this country. No car, well it's tougher to "shop...

  9. AAS vs. BSN

    CuriousMe replied to LWildman's topic in General Students

    I have to take extra classes to stay full-time for my scholarship as well. I'm getting a minor in Chemistry. I enjoy the topic and figured the knowledge will be useful as I go for my masters and...

  10. How do I break up with my study buddy?

    CuriousMe replied to sunchild's topic in General Students

    I would just be unavailable. With your other responsibilities, being unavailable is probably true anyway. I'm all for study buddies when everyone brings something to the table.....but if I'm...

  11. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    CuriousMe replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I appreciate that you've shared this info and don't think anyone's hateful or selfish. I'm so glad that you're parents were able to empower you with the knowledge and values you have.....but what...

  12. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    CuriousMe replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I wasn't assigning blame at all. I was pointing out that we don't all get an equal chance at an educated start. However, since you brought it up....the opening sentence of the article you cited said...

  13. Backpack Advice

    CuriousMe replied to PhysicsBabe's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I had a rolling backpack....but didn't like it because it was so dang heavy empty (I found I did have to carry it at some point....lifting it to and from lab tables, going up and down stairs, etc). I...

  14. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    CuriousMe replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My sister student-taught 3rd grade in North Philly(at an inner-city school). They had one math book for the class of 36 students (teacher's edition) my sister wrote their homework problems on the...

  15. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    CuriousMe replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think the thing that has me leaning towards supporting UHC is that, for the most part, under out current system the only folks who receive help are those who won't help themselves. The hard...

  16. What pre-req classes did you start out with and how many?

    CuriousMe replied to love2nurse4life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took just one class ( a developmental math class) and I took it online before I quit my career back in 2005. I didn't start with one class to ease my way in, I did it because I didn't know if I...

  17. Spring 09 Hopefuls

    CuriousMe replied to TeeRN2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm confused......the deadline is after the acceptance letters go

  18. Better clinicals with BSN program???

    CuriousMe replied to litebrightgirl's topic in General Students

    I wonder if the folks who are attracted to each program have something to do with this. Those who are looking to focus more on the "book work" might be more attracted to the BSN programs and those...

  19. Full-time student. Is there time for a part-time job?

    CuriousMe replied to vovo1978's topic in General Students

    It depends on the individual and it depends on the program. Some folks might not need as much time to study and some programs are more flexible in their time demands. Talk to folks ahead of you in...

  20. Being a tutor, good idea or not?

    CuriousMe replied to Scooter321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If it's a scheduled session and I know what the topics will be, I do go ahead and refresh myself on the material. But again, as a tutor, it's not your job to have all the answers....it's your job to...

  21. Being a tutor, good idea or not?

    CuriousMe replied to Scooter321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I tutor computers at the school and tutor computers, biology, chemistry, A&P and micro privately. I'm also a TA for a 100 level Human Biology class. The tutoring I do at school is drop in...

  22. Here is a crazy question

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

    I'm 39 and have a great big backpack! The rolling ones were popular at my CC but I always thought they were so heavy before I even put books in them. What I did do though is buy a good backpack....

  23. Online CPR course, are they acceptable???

    CuriousMe replied to bobs201's topic in General Students

    I would check with your school. I could see them wanting you to do a class like CPR in a classroom. Peace,

  24. How Long Does It Take To Receive Child Abuse Clearnce and Criminal Record?

    CuriousMe replied to HappyMeNow's topic in General Students

    We have to do our own background check as well. I got fingerprinted at my local sherif's office and then sent the fingerprint card into the FBI with $18. They sent back my fingerprint card with a...

  25. Newbie here, just taking prereqs

    CuriousMe replied to NewPathforKJ's topic in Oregon Nursing

    LOL it's all good, I don't corner the market on being Curious :chuckle We did have to write a proctored essay. I had no real health care experience to speak of, but wrote of other life experiences...
