  1. Asthma Attacks

    CuriousMe replied to antidote's topic in General Nursing

    I have to tote around a neb when my asthma is flared. I have an Omron, Microair. It's super small (in it's case it's about the size of a big eyeglass case) and super quiet....I love it. Peace,...

  2. Asthma Attacks

    CuriousMe replied to antidote's topic in General Nursing

    Once I'm in the midst of an attack, keeping calm doesn't make it better....but it can slow down the process of it getting worse. Fresh air is also very important for me....even strong perfume can...

  3. Best study advice for A&P

    CuriousMe replied to coopman712's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you tried just getting a big piece of butcher paper and drawing it all out? I know that helped me a lot with the cell. Peace,

  4. vocational school or reg College??

    CuriousMe replied to MaMaJ9804's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    $7.45/hr and getting hired without certifcation sounds more like a CNA (certified nurse assistant) not an LPN/LVN (Licenced Practical Nurse/Licenced Vocational Nurse). Peace,

  5. College algebra??

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

    I think math is less about understanding and more about practice (check your answer), practice, (check your answer), practice (check your answer). The check your answer part is important, because...

  6. ANP 102 harder than ANP 101?

    CuriousMe replied to jackson145's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you mean A&P (anatomy and physiology)? If so, I didn't find the second half harder than the first, just different. It's heavier on the physiology than the beginning was. So, less...

  7. Help!This just isn't fair.

    CuriousMe replied to tigress_8207's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If the school accepts teachers with American credentials, it would be a great opportunity for someone to work and live in an amazingly beautiful place in the world. I used to work on a cruise ship...

  8. Aspiring Nurses: Why not Med School??

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

    I think the intent of Barbiegirlnurse's comment was that they weren't pre-med majors, in contrast to nurses who do major in nursing. Wow, biomedical engineering huh? That actually sounds like it must...

  9. Aspiring Nurses: Why not Med School??

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

    Gentle, I don't know you at all, but I would say that you are living up to your screen name On the other hand, I'm a cynical New Yorker, and think the OP was a big ole:troll: Seriously though, it's...

  10. Help!This just isn't fair.

    CuriousMe replied to tigress_8207's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The OP is in Barbados. While it's a beautiful island (with amazing diving!)...it's not a big island. I'm guessing that the number of nursing school's on island are very limited. Tigress, do you...

  11. *microbiology Summer 07*

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

    I haven't taken Micro yet (I start at the end of June) but when we were covering histology in A&P I found images of the slides online and then put them on my flash cards.....the reality is I draw...

  12. vocational school or reg College??

    CuriousMe replied to MaMaJ9804's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think it's a question of better or worse, it seems like you're talking about two different licenses. The vocational school will prepare you to be a LVN and the city college an RN. If it were...

  13. vocational school or reg College??

    CuriousMe replied to MaMaJ9804's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sorry, I'm a little confused. What degree/certification would you get at each school? Would you be trying to be an LPN at vocational school and trying to get your RN at the college? Peace,...

  14. Should I take Chemistry for the more "Prestigious" school??

    CuriousMe replied to Alert&Orientedx0's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Only your college catalog will tell you that....just check the prereqs for Ochem and speak to an adviser to see how what you've taken matches up with what is needed. Good Luck!! Peace,

  15. Question about Chemistry classes...?

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

    I understand that you want to focus on the biological side of chemistry.....but I've never seen an organic or biochemistry class that didn't require you to take General Chemistry first. You'd be lost...

  16. Should I take Chemistry for the more "Prestigious" school??

    CuriousMe replied to Alert&Orientedx0's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're better off taking Ochem either way. As someone else said, it keeps your options open and the reality is, that it won't hurt your understanding of pharmacology later on. As far as programs, the...

  17. ABSN program survey question

    CuriousMe replied to CRNA2BKY's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd be interested in seeing your source for the demographics of "most" schools. Peace,

  18. A&P II Club, 2007

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

    Congrats on finishing Catzy!:balloons: And thanks for the good news about micro! Peace,

  19. *microbiology Summer 07*

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

    You might want to take a peak into the Spring Microbiology thread and see if they mention anything specific....or just ask them since they're just finishing up. If you find good stuff, come share with...

  20. woman dies in ER waiting room (article)

    CuriousMe replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    It's inflammatory statements like the one above that made me question your experience. You're doing nothing to make folks want to take you seriously with statements like this. Well OK, I can't...

  21. woman dies in ER waiting room (article)

    CuriousMe replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks Tazzi, I'm just trying to find some context for the varied opinions and make sure I treat each with the respect they deserve. Back to studying for my A&P final Peace,

  22. woman dies in ER waiting room (article)

    CuriousMe replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, I don't pretend to have any experience at all. I'm curious though chuck1234, I see you have Med/Surg and ICU experience. Have you had an oportunity to spend any time working in...

  23. woman dies in ER waiting room (article)

    CuriousMe replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I'm legal.....but sure, you were the one to go diving back in history to begin

  24. woman dies in ER waiting room (article)

    CuriousMe replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    i guess the problem is that we are not speaking about who was illegal a few hundred years ago. the problem is complicated enough to address in a modern context. if we confound the issue with prior...

    CuriousMe replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    Didn't say it was a myth....just said that mine hasn't changed color over the years. Peace,
