  2. Starting A&P I tonight, need tips!

    stefanyjoy replied to pixie976's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't let yourself get behind. Study the material as you go along, not just when a test is on the horizon. Otherwise you'll be completely overwhelmed. In addition to your notes from class & the...

  3. Stories of the worst patient going right...

    stefanyjoy replied to fmAtoZ&backagain's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds like one of those targeted selection interview questions. "Describe a time where an escalated situation had a good outcome, and what you did to resolve it."

  4. Did I miss my chance?

    stefanyjoy replied to PediLove2147's topic in General Nursing

    Sending good vibes your way

  5. Help! I can't decide where to work...

    stefanyjoy replied to Vblub01's topic in General Nursing

    take the nicer job.... In the future it will most likely look better on a resume that you worked at the nice place as opposed to the careless place... if the CNA's there have a "rep" of being lazy,...

  6. Will the nursing shortage ever end?

    stefanyjoy replied to hopeless romantic's topic in General Nursing

    My question is, when is it going to

  7. healthcare cost

    stefanyjoy replied to link51411's topic in General Nursing

    I handle claims escalations and issues at a health insurance company. I've seen pediatric offices charge $75 for a disposable diaper. Thankfully the contract with the insurance company protects...

  8. No burn out....enough is enough!

    stefanyjoy replied to joanna73's topic in General Nursing

    There are over half a million nurses on this website, has there ever been a petition for a federal nursing-to-patient ratio law? For facilities and practices that accept Medicare (vast majority in...

  9. RN-BSN-Midwife?

    stefanyjoy replied to judit4424's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    judit -- look on the website of your local community college and see what the classes needed are to get an Associates in Arts (AA) or Associates in Science (AS). Either of those this 60 credit hours....

  10. I'm affraid im going to fail RN school again..:(

    stefanyjoy replied to Rico84's topic in LPN to RN

    Rico, perhaps maybe this happened for a reason... perhaps if you had originally finished the course by the skin of your teeth, you would have not made a very good RN since your heart wasn't in it...

  11. I'm so excited

    stefanyjoy replied to mamabear4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't start until Fall of 2012 but I feel your excitement! Good luck and don't forget to enjoy yourself!

  12. How many hours can I work - from home?

    stefanyjoy posted a topic in General Students

    Hello everyone, I was fortunate enough for my job to allow me to work from home while I attend nursing school. Now I work 40 hrs/wk on site, but obviously that won't be possible once NS starts. I...

  13. Just a question about associate in nursing

    stefanyjoy replied to Talley_1976's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you need to speak with an advisor. There is no way a college would discourage getting all non-nursing classes out of the way prior to the core nursing courses, even if it meant you weren't...

  14. I didn't know I was pregnant?

    stefanyjoy replied to cali_rusk's topic in Ob/Gyn

    With my daughter she kicked the crap out of me. When I was about 8 months pregnant she would stick out an elbow, a knee, whatever, and it would feel and look like I was an alien host. She got her foot...

  15. anyone taken a break from nursing?

    stefanyjoy replied to nursingisok's topic in General Nursing

    It probably didn't help that working in a call center is satan's ass hole of jobs. Sorry, I have personal issues with this.

  16. Credit checks and employment

    stefanyjoy replied to loveishope's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is so sad that employers are still allowed to check someone's credit. You aren't asking them for a loan, you're asking them for a job.

  17. how to lose weight as a busy new nurse

    stefanyjoy replied to sbostonRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You remind me a lot of my mother. She's an RN, she's always very busy, hardly ever eats, but she's about 60 lbs overweight and it just doesn't budge. I keep telling her it's because her metabolism is...

  18. Speaking Of The Heat Wave - Hospitals Before Central Air Conditioning

    stefanyjoy replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    I'm also in NC and yesterday the heat index was 112. I haven't been outside today (home with a sick kid) but I was told it would be worse. I couldn't imagine working in a place with no central air --...

    Oh my god, I just got chills all

  20. Blue Cross Blue Shield Nurses?? Any??

    stefanyjoy replied to Sl1011's topic in Nursing Career

    Just to clarify... there are currently 39 separate BCBS companies. "BCBS" is not a company. BCBS Alabama is one, BCBS Michigan is another, for examples. All will provide a different work experience I...

  21. Reality hit

    stefanyjoy replied to oklahomagal's topic in General Students

    I don't have anything constructive to add, but isn't it terrible that Cars 2 was so awful you actually had a panic attack in the middle of it? Sorry, but I was disappointed in Cars 2 - I loved the...

  22. On my way to hospital nursing.

    stefanyjoy replied to puttinontheritz's topic in General Nursing

    :ancong!: So exciting to start a new chapter. I don't have any advice but wanted to say

  23. Blue Cross Blue Shield Nurses?? Any??

    stefanyjoy replied to Sl1011's topic in Nursing Career

    Been there... I will not elaborate, but the third sentence you wrote is SO TRUE. 5 years ago I was content, relaxed, easy-going, and felt like an intelligent person. Now I am stressed, underpaid,...

  24. Hate my boss...what a jerk

    stefanyjoy replied to lifein08's topic in General Nursing

  25. Blue Cross Blue Shield Nurses?? Any??

    stefanyjoy replied to Sl1011's topic in Nursing Career

    I am not a nurse for BCBS, but I've worked there for 5 years. Keep in mind that every BCBS is different. But there are two main types of BCBS nurses that I am aware of... mainly, experienced nurses...
