    Word.

  3. Does anyone enjoy Nursing School?

    Stephalump replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in General Students

    Also, I want to add, that YES, I've enjoyed it. I have made some amazing friends. I've learned more in the last 18 months than I thought possible. I've been challenged and forced to grow. I've gained...

  4. Does anyone enjoy Nursing School?

    Stephalump replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in General Students

    When I first started NS I didn't work. I had a reasonable amount of time to spend with my kiddos. I was gone studying quite a bit (can't get a thing done at home) but I tried really hard to get as...

  5. Can CNA encourage and teach how to use Incentive spirometer

    Stephalump replied to mondee619's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I've always been taught that a CNA can reinforce, basically meaning they can, in fact, teach once the nurse has done the initial teaching. I don't think there's any reason to say they can only go over...

  6. 10 Things You Should Know About the First Semester of Nursing School

    Stephalump replied to LoriRNCM's topic in General Students

    I love your post, too :) Yes, people have varying experiences, but you have every right to share your perspective. Ain't #10 the truth. When my friends and I started nursing school, I think we all...

  8. Planners/calendars for nursing school assignments?

    Stephalump replied to Jfbeck440's topic in General Students

    I switched to an Erin Condren Life planner.

  9. Why does school have to be made to be (seemingly) unneccesarily difficult?

    Stephalump replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students

    I don't think lazy is what's going on here. She seems to be working extremely hard. I think it's more like she cannot pass without being given the answers. Seems legit. But it doesn't work that

  10. Are any of you using an ipad with stylus to take notes?

    Stephalump replied to pmabraham's topic in General Students

    For sure. My laptop died right before nursing school, so I've used my iPad as my main computer, and let me tell ya...it is NOT a substitute. I don't think it was intended to be, though.I couldn't...

  11. Student nurses, what will you different when you have student's?

    Stephalump replied to stunurs08's topic in General Students

    My first year, my clinical site had codes on the doors, so we could punch ourselves in. This eat I moved to a site where you had to have badges to get into everything, and I hate it! So much time...

  12. How do clinical placements work?

    Stephalump replied to erint91DC's topic in General Students

    Our first year it was self-selected, first come, first served. Second year, they took requests for day or location and I believe most we honored. We have a small program, though. The bigger, the less...

    Well...are

  14. Continuing my education after my ADN

    Stephalump replied to bgilstrap's topic in General Students

    It would be all about cost for me. I wouldn't pay a lot more for a degree I have no intentions of using. I know you might want to advance/change your practice someday, but you can't choose a "maybe...

  15. Failed clinicals 2 weeks before finishing the RN program

    Stephalump replied to Blessed Studentin's topic in General Students

    Oh no....I am SO sorry. That's a terrible feeling, I know. To be so close! As much as it's going to stink, you're so close!!! Cross that finish line next

  16. Expired California CNA to Texas CNA

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

    Hmmm, I haven't done it, but since you haven't worked in so long, your license would've been expired here, too. Meaning you'd have to retake your skills and written exam. Give DADS a call...they're...

  17. Student nurses, what will you different when you have student's?

    Stephalump replied to stunurs08's topic in General Students

    I'm going to try to get them more involved with the ins and outs of things. You want a patient or three? Fine, they're YOUR patients. I feel like I was treated more like a gopher than really taking...

  23. Why does school have to be made to be (seemingly) unneccesarily difficult?

    Stephalump replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students

    I think study guides in nursing school would be catastrophic. You may only need to know 50-100 questions worth of material to pass the test, but what about the NCLEX? What about the concepts that will...

  24. What to do? :(

    Stephalump replied to Toaster's topic in General Students

    No. The world doesn't work that way. Just because you can do something doesn't mean everyone can or should. OP, sounds like you've had a rough time of It. Sorry you ended up withdrawing - I'm sure...

    Stephalump replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students

    Emily, I'm sorry, but no. I think you're doing yourself a disservice by blaming your struggles on your program and attributing the success of others to some sort of unfair advantage. Your many...
