  1. Will I get into nursing school?

    stefanyjoy replied to sweetie23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really depends on your school's requirements. My local CC does not have a minimum GPA but "points" are awarded for number of pre-reqs completeled, and the grades earned in A&P I & II. So if...

  2. What type of school did you choose for nursing?

    stefanyjoy replied to loulou55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Community college - my local one has a high NCLEX pass rate >95%, prereqs able to be done online or evenings on campus, plus it's cheap. I think the big question for most people is, ADN or BSN? A...

  3. They won't stop calling me!

    stefanyjoy replied to optimist's topic in General Nursing

    Boo. This is my least favorite cliche nursing phrase

  4. Prospective Durham Tech Student

    stefanyjoy replied to Tarheelborn's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    That's so great Smokey! I'll have 47 when I apply so I'm feeling much better about getting in for Fall 2012. I'm doing 169 this fall & patho/cna course in the spring. Best of luck to

  5. Desk job or Prison job? Help!

    stefanyjoy replied to christinacub's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly think at a minimum security place you probably would receive more harassment from kids than the inmates :) Sounds like you are using this job as a stepping stone, and want to gain back...

  6. Should smokers be admitted into the nursing program?

    stefanyjoy replied to Elly Aker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hmm... interesting. I smoked for 10 years and quit on March 10th of this year. I don't really have much an opinion but one thing is really clear to me: Nurses (and students) should not be allowed to...

  7. How to decline a wedding invitation because I'm too busy with school!

    stefanyjoy replied to rrz0609's topic in General Students

    "Regretfully, I will not be able to attend. I hope I can celebrate with you another time and wish you a beautiful day. Best of luck" the end. If she really is a friend she will understand that not all...

  8. Singled out nursing student

    stefanyjoy replied to Blacksheep80's topic in General Students

    Personally I find it ridiculous that you think the other students don't find it hard to fit in because they are white. When you throw in generalized blanket statements like "all the white students"...

  9. Does it make sense to get your CNA license before nursing school?

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

    In my state it is required to be on the CNA registry before the start of nursing school... so yes, it is wise to become a CNA first. Even if it weren't required here, I would think it would be foolish...

  10. Weirdest, funniest, grossest male teenager pt. Stories

    stefanyjoy replied to Mtb97's topic in Nursing Humor

    *** @ this thread... I just think the OP is a girl born in '97 and is at the age where she's a little curious about teenage boys... at least I hope

  12. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    stefanyjoy replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    :barf01: I've made it through many of the stories on this thread, but I think this one finally broke me down. My tummy is very

  13. Accepted...but not excited

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

    Remember there ARE nursing positions that do not require to be stretched so thin -- doctor's office, community health, education, etc. try to remember that the nurses you see are only a small slice of...

  14. How I miss my beloved text-paging

    stefanyjoy replied to evilolive's topic in General Nursing

    I work in health insurance and it is not a HIPAA violation ... Does the sun rise and set on this cardiologist's ass? Why wouldn't someone who actually knew HIPAA educate this provider and let you all...

  15. Pre-nursing students: What is your course/credit load?

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

    Do you already have a background in French from high school? Because Spanish is much easier (and more practical in Nursing) to learn, might as well not make things harder on

  17. Taking Anatomy and Physiology 1 in the summer?

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

    Since it's an 8 week session, I would suggest taking something like Computer Applications that wouldn't require papers, intense studying, difficult homework, etc. The general rule is allow 2 hours of...

  18. I'm very guilty...of laziness....gulp....

    stefanyjoy replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    You shouldn't feel bad about yourself just because you have a natural ability for learning and don't stress as hard as everyone else. Your post says "I do get stressed once in a while and study...

  19. Lpn Or Rn?

    stefanyjoy replied to bdlogo's topic in General Nursing

    How does the wait list work? Will she be guaranteed a spot in the RN program next semester (does it start in fall and spring?). If she only has a short while to wait, I would encourage her to wait...

  20. My Microbiology Teacher told me I can't become a Nurse

    stefanyjoy replied to louis345's topic in General Students

    Oh yeah! A story to share.... This Dr. so-and-so at my community college is a psych professor and a student advisor, AND the advisor for continuing education at the insurance company I work at. When I...

  21. My Microbiology Teacher told me I can't become a Nurse

    stefanyjoy replied to louis345's topic in General Students

    That "doctor" sounds like a complete moron! First off, YOU know what you are capable of. And if you think you can do it, you can! Last semester I had Chemistry taught by someone who had a doctorate,...

    +1 for Al-Anon, they are such a wonderful group. Alateen sounds great

    stefanyjoy replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Students

    I agree with the PP. You need to slow the classes down a little and focus on one thing at a time. If you make a bad grade in a required course, it could really haunt you for a long time. You said...

  24. Please tell me things will get better!

    stefanyjoy replied to LadyEJ BSN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Just curious.... so you were charged with these crimes, then they were dismissed? or just reduced from felonies to misdemenors and you were convicted of the

    stefanyjoy replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Students

    I am so sorry that you have so many responsibilities at such a young age. Does your mom realize that you feel it is up to you to lead your family? Especially since she is not going to work because...
