  1. What to do in this situation?

    Stephalump replied to missmollie's topic in General Students

    I'm going to step in and say that I don't think it's THAT big of a deal. People in my program frequently work in home care for extra dough, and there's nothing illegal about it. They aren't operating...

  2. Didn't do as good as I hoped..

    Stephalump replied to EmilyEmily's topic in General Students

    I think everything that can be said has been said. OP didn't do as well as she hoped she would. That is

  3. Didn't do as good as I hoped..

    Stephalump replied to EmilyEmily's topic in General Students

  4. Dear Cheaters

    Stephalump replied to RN9742's topic in General Students

    Way too much

  5. Can't get a job in the hospital, even with experience

    Stephalump replied to sweetstrwbrry1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Keep applying! It's a numbers game, unfortunately. DONs can't look at every resume that comes in, so it's just a matter of floating to the top of the stack. Luck and lots of buzzwords. :) As far as...

  6. Nursing or not? Anyone have any advice, wisdom or can relate?

    Stephalump replied to Hannah10's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm a semester away from graduation from nursing school and I feel the same way! I love my job and my unit, but I don't want to work at a hospital. I'm disgusted by hospital administration and the...

  7. Dear Cheaters

    Stephalump replied to RN9742's topic in General Students

    Yeah. Other than people giving each other homework answers, it's nearly impossible to cheat in my program without going to some pretty big extremes (like buying answers from god knows who.) Our tests...

  8. ok whats up with my posts

    Stephalump replied to mvm2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  9. Didn't do as good as I hoped..

    Stephalump replied to EmilyEmily's topic in General Students

    The good news is you've improved so much! I think it would be a borderline miracle to go from failing to As in such a short time, so while I totally get that failing is brutal....you should still be...

  10. Can I wear my scrubs to an interview?

    Stephalump replied to uhohbube's topic in General Students

    I've worn scrubs to 2 interviews and I was offered both positions. One director said "You look like you're ready to come to work!" when I walked in the room. So I have nothing negative to say about...

  11. Worried about paying off student loan debt

    Stephalump replied to metallicaman1031's topic in General Students

  12. Help! Has anyone been kicked out for failing technical standards

    Stephalump replied to interestedparty's topic in General Students

  13. Pay Cut "Because of ObamaCare and Jerry Brown"

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

    I think it's a load of crap to blame it on "Obamacare." Your pay rate is being decreased because your employer doesn't want to decrease HIS (or more likely, their) payrate to make up for extra...

  14. Worried about paying off student loan debt

    Stephalump replied to metallicaman1031's topic in General Students

    Holy moly! I'm sorry, but I can't comfort you about that one. I haven't done the math, but I'd imagine you'd be repaying at a rate of at least $1500 a month. At this point, however, you don't really...

  15. Which semester is the toughest?

    Stephalump replied to BSNinprogress22's topic in General Students

    I think the only somewhat accurate answer you could get from is from people who went through your program. Odds are mine is completely different than

  16. New CNA starting job search...need salary help!

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

  17. Driving an hour to school there and back

    Stephalump replied to SarahStoddard14's topic in General Students

    There are many days when I WISH I had a longer commute. A little recovery time before I get home and go from taking care of needy people at the hospital to needy people at

  18. New CNA starting job search...need salary help!

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

    There is no such thing as a CNA license. Even after you take your certification, you're considered unlicensed personnel. I can't imagine a CNA making starting at $15 an hour. LVNs would only be...

  19. I'm tired.

    Stephalump replied to Julesmama28's topic in General Students

    Add me to the tired list! Nursing is taking over my entire life. I'm working 3 12s in the hospital, in clinicals one dat a week, in school 2 days a week, studying the rest of the time, and I spend...

  20. Anyone doing well?

    Stephalump replied to kp1987's topic in General Students

    Further proof that, no matter what you do or say, someone's going to dislike it.

  21. Getting a CNA job while in nursing school

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

    My resume is almost entirely about my clinical experiences. I have all of my clinical sites and units listed, and a section that includes all of my skills. You may have "nursing student" listed, but...

  22. PCT job interview, going to have a written quiz

    Stephalump replied to MikeDee1234's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I took one once, and it was situational questions. Basically trying to figure out if you knew your scope of practice vs the nurses role and when to notify the nurse of abnormalities and whatnot. I...

  23. Help me calculate my med surg grade..

    Stephalump replied to EmilyEmily's topic in General Students

    You don't own any of these people an explanation for your grades. You asked a question; people can like it or not like it and throw in their unrequested snark (or "advice" as they'd like to call it)...

  24. Dilemma: miss class before exam due to illness?

    Stephalump replied to SopranoKris's topic in General Students

  25. One thing

    Stephalump replied to springchick1's topic in General Students

    I love my classmates. Even the ones that annoy the absolute crud out of me I know, in the end, we haw each other's backs when push comes to shove. I'm so sad that we're approaching the end of our...
