  1. What to do about a classmate that is a pathological liar?

    Stephalump replied to Brilton's topic in General Students

    I don't think you need to "do" anything about it. Be annoyed. You have every right. But that's about it. I agree with esme - stay out of the way so this person doesn't drag you down with him! You...

  2. West Coast University

    Stephalump replied to 1sildiaz's topic in California Nursing

    The estimated book cost is equivalent to my entire tuition! Mind.

  3. Nursing School Uniforms And Their Fate After School

    Stephalump replied to RunBabyRN's topic in General Students

    I know our local woman's shelter always needs scrubs. When they meet women at the hospital (especially rape victims) they provide them with scrubs since their clothes are taken. Not sure if that's...

  4. Working as a CNA help with RN employement in future?

    Stephalump replied to MikeDee1234's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm going to go against the grain and say YES, being a CNA can help you get a job. It's March, I graduate in May, and I already have a job lined up at the facility where I work. I was speaking to a...

  5. Work Smells

    Stephalump replied to mstearns09's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm not horribly bothered by smells, but there have been a couple times when I've felt like an odor haunted me long after the mess was cleaned up. Last semester I had a suicide patient who was...

  6. BSN to APN?

    Stephalump replied to OB-wan's topic in General Students

    Aren't all MSN programs techs ally BSN-MSN? The ones that are ADN-MSN or direct entry are the exception to the

  7. When it rains, it pours. Job decisions.

    Stephalump replied to elizabethmeiereRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Take the OR job. You're a nurse - work as a nurse

  8. Im so burned out

    Stephalump replied to palamino98's topic in General Students

    So burnt out as well! People like to mention that I only have Xyz weeks left, and I just want to scream that I don't CARE! I still don't wanna! So much to do in those weeks, and no motivation to do...

  10. Nursing School Uniforms And Their Fate After School

    Stephalump replied to RunBabyRN's topic in General Students

    We have a party at the end of the semester. This semester's final party will be a bonfire. Burn, scrubs.

  11. Hospital Job???

    Stephalump replied to rawilso1's topic in General Students

    I started as a tech 6 months before graduation. I was shocked when someone hired me knowing I had an expiration date rapidly approaching, but I'm glad she went out on a limb for me. In my case,...

  12. Graduating May 2014! :)

    Stephalump replied to laKrugRN's topic in General Students

    May 8th here! I can't believe it! I'm trying to focus on the excitement of being finished and not the terrifying prospect of what comes afterwards.

  13. Does everyone get this but me?

    Stephalump replied to leekaye's topic in General Students

    Hello! I have a similar problem - lack of confidence in my abilities, which is of course exacerbated when I have an audience or I'm uncomfortable. I suck at clinicals because, well...I have an...

  14. Telemetry info

    Stephalump replied to melcolbstorm's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I work on a tele floor, but I don't have much to add to the PP. We do vitals q4 (unless ordered more frequently) ADLs, blood sugar checks, and basic patient care. We can take out foleys and IVs, and...

  17. Concept Maps

    Stephalump posted a topic in General Students

    I dislike them. Strongly. Just had to get that off my

  18. first job!

    Stephalump replied to katiemisskatie's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I don't know if any of the nurses on my unit look down on me because of my title - if they do, they keep it to themselves, and that's all that matters. :) I hope you get the

  19. Is my nursing school too selective?

    Stephalump replied to aquamoon713's topic in General Students

    I don't know how losing 2/3 of your cohort would mean your program is too selective. If anything, your program needs to be more selective. People will always leave/fail, but the purpose of picking...

  20. No lunch for lunch break?

    Stephalump replied to sakiohma's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Y'all need to work together! I wouldn't allow every CNA to take their lunch at the same time, either. It just doesn't make sense. If there are only 3 of you, you should be able to stagger your breaks....

  21. A selfish nurse

    Stephalump replied to infexious's topic in General Students

  22. Overtime for PCA's/PCTs in hospital setting?

    Stephalump replied to PVCCHoo's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I could work 7 days a week at my hospital if I wanted to - but I don't. Even if our shifts were all covered, we can float to fill spots on other

  23. Work in the cardiac unit? What's that like? Help!!!

    Stephalump replied to CarlyBelle's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Eh, I'm a a PCA and one of my roles is as a monitor tech. I took the same EKG course everyone who works in tele/cardiac care had to take and trained with an experienced MT. Any place worth a grain...

  24. Class of 2014

    Stephalump replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    Senioritis! I have no desire to do anything, y'all. I just want them to hand me my license. Why won't they just hand me my license?????? I've been in school for a week and I haven't even looked at...

  25. How long do you study each day?

    Stephalump replied to VAgirl247's topic in General Students

    Me either! I think I would've lost my mind a long time ago if I studied 8 hours a day, every
