  1. Second career nurses: Do you like nursing better?

    stefanyjoy replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    Let me clarify, I'm not an RN at the insurance company, I'm just another soulless drone in a cubicle that plugs away at the computer. I'm pre-nursing status right now. I wish I could just quit, but it...

  3. Frustrated by unhelpful advisors :(

    stefanyjoy replied to Loving This's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The university you wish to apply to should have something called a "Transcript Evaluation". At least all the ones I've looked at do. Basically you send them your transcripts and in a couple weeks they...

  4. HELP! 1 class short of my degree!

    stefanyjoy replied to debstmomy's topic in General Students

    You're actually in a pretty good spot, you just need to do a little research. A lot of classes can satisfy a humanities requirement. You're in CA and think of how many community colleges are in the...

  5. Anyone else suffering from burnout?

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

    I totally feel for you. Last semester was like that for me. I had O-Chem, Psych, Computer, and Algebra. I work full time and have a child too. Mid-semester I woke up just bawling one morning because I...

  6. To tell or not to tell

    stefanyjoy replied to mejajo08's topic in General Nursing

    So you want to work full time on the ortho floor, part time on the cardiac floor AND go to school? And you're worried about offending management? If I were you, I'd say, "As you know, I am working...

    stefanyjoy replied to melisgood's topic in General Nursing

  8. African Americans as nurses.

    stefanyjoy replied to Daniel Floyd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ok, this guy's profile states he is in high school in Fort Lauderdale so we all know he didn't grow up under a rock. I am ASSUMING the poorly-worded question he is asking is, "Has the African-American...

    stefanyjoy replied to PaperPencil's topic in General Students

  11. They're Their and There

    stefanyjoy replied to PaperPencil's topic in General Students

    Does anyone else feel that their grammar/spelling skills have gone out the window since high school? I used to be editor-in-chief of my high school newspaper, and now I can barely squeak out a...

  12. Do you have time to give baths?

    stefanyjoy replied to stellaRN1983's topic in General Nursing

    This thread is grossing me out. I understand that everyone has a huge patient load and has little time, but something needs to be done. CDC reports approx 90,000 pts die each year in the U.S from...

  13. Lament of the White Clinical Pants

    stefanyjoy replied to cogath's topic in General Students

    Sorry if this is TMI, but I am dreading the white pants. I have heavy periods, and I really, really, really, don't want to worry about white pants along with clinical stress during that time.

  14. My Great Reality Check

    stefanyjoy replied to rn4me2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You don't need to remove anything. :) A little positivity never hurt anyone. It's always nice to see posts other than "Blah Blah Blah College Hopefuls" seriously...... aren't there regional boards for...

    stefanyjoy posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello, There is an article in this months American Journal for Nursing about nurses showing more encouragement & compassion for obese/smoking patients instead of making the patients feel judged...

  16. Could this work, becoming a CNA and going back to school to become a RN well working?

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

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

    forgive any spelling errors (I'm sure there are many), but this is what I had to learn: cranial and facial bones: frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal, sphenoid, ethmoid, lacrimal, maxillae,...

  20. Learning the Skeletal System

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

    for A&P I, we did not have to learn the names of the carpals and tarsal bones, but most of the other ones. It actually really isn't that much. I'm much more worried about muscles and the nervous...
