    CuriousMe replied to Joyfull77's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I don't know anything about MO, but (and you may have this already) here is a link to a listing of all the PN and RN programs in your state. There do seem to be some community colleges on the RN...

  2. ITT Tech's New Program???

    CuriousMe replied to Joyfull77's topic in Oregon Nursing

    No one but you can say if any school is good for you. ITT Tech is very expensive (it's associate degree costs more than my bachelors degree did), and it's credits are not nearly as readily accepted...

  3. Why Do Nursing Instructors Rely So Heavily On PowerPoints To Teach?

    CuriousMe replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    Thankfully, that hasn't been my experience, for the most part, I've had wonderful, knowledgeable, talented and caring Professors. I'm sorry if it's been yours

  4. Why Do Nursing Instructors Rely So Heavily On PowerPoints To Teach?

    CuriousMe replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    So the Professor has no responsibility regarding the quality of their performance? I agree the student is responsible for their learning....but surely the Professor is also responsible for teaching? A...

  5. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

    CuriousMe replied to DesertRN2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't know what CBS said, but last I checked they are not a peer reviewed scholarly source (not sure if the CDC was an approved source for scholarly research in your BSN program or not...). What was...

  6. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

    CuriousMe replied to DesertRN2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So, you choose to do nothing to change a situation you don't want (since no one held a gun to anyone's head, or strapped anyone down to force a medical procedure there was no "forcing")....instead...

  7. Do You Wear a Lab coat?

    CuriousMe replied to L3Janit0r37's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  8. Crap...now what?

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

    The bigger concern I'd have, if I were you, is why I was sitting at a 79 average? Am I not understanding the material? Am I trying to cram for exams? Do I need to brush up on my test taking skills?...

  9. Crap...now what?

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

    True, but not passing the NCLEX means you won't be a nurse (at least until you pass it) Theoretically there is a practical exam.......it's called clinicals. Clinical instructors aren't supposed to...

  10. Any news from RCC fall 2011?

    CuriousMe replied to E2NURSE's topic in California Nursing

    CuriousMe replied to RscodADN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've looked at a number of those sites....all the information was wrong (the closest one of the sites got was where I lived 20+ years ago the rest didn't even have that). As long as you take...

  13. Will you delete your Facebook account of you get into nursing school?

    CuriousMe replied to RscodADN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Censoring is really just about using common sense. There's things you'd say to your friends in confidence, sitting in your kitchen that you may not say at a wedding reception filled with your friends...

  14. any nurses or nursing students who's into fitness?

    CuriousMe replied to liftingbob1985's topic in General Students

  18. What kind of stethoscope should I get for nursing school?

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

    I got a two pack of penlights from wallmart (in the automotive section) for a dollar. I'm not worried about the penlights lasting for years and years as my hospital also provides penlights for

  19. allnurses.com helpful to busy students or an unnecessary distraction?

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

    I'd say it's the other way around. My whole nursing class is on FB, and we help each other out there all the time. I know of folks in my class who created an FB account to stay in touch with other...

    Yup, you got it exactly right, just a "Debbie Downer," who only likes posts about "peace and sunshine" very insightful. Thanks for informing me of my choices...you left one out, I can choose to...

  22. Irritating Classmates

    CuriousMe replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    CuriousMe replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Students
