  1. PLEASE HELP Before they kick me out!

    Stephalump replied to FutureRNKat's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I hate inconsistency. I'm like a toddler - I need clear expectations! I agree with all the yadda yadda about responsibility and policies and all that. But I still think it sucks when people who didn't...

  2. non accredited CNA program

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

  3. NCLEX Review before nursing school...

    Stephalump replied to doublehighcman's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I don't think it would be helpful or hurtful...just time that could've been better spent elsewhere. Nursing school is like building a house of cards; EVERYTHING you do depends on the foundation...

  4. Muslim nursing students

    Stephalump replied to mtcowgirl's topic in General Students

    I've never noticed any issue with Muslim students in my

  5. Giving away grades - unethical?

    Stephalump replied to bravera's topic in General Students

    Our BON apparently doesn't allow extra credit in nursing programs to prevent grade inflation, so that's not an issue for us. Our instructors do sometimes allot a certain number of points on a our test...

  6. Should I Go For It?

    Stephalump replied to lala203's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Things aren't looking all that bright and shiny for a lot of new grad nurses right now, either. I would be very careful about going into debt for another degree. When the economy crashed, suddenly...

  7. Jealous that I have no life

    Stephalump replied to futurenursedd's topic in General Students

    You're allowed to grieve the loss of your past life. My husband and I have kids, so I'm not exactly in the same situation - my husband is usually saddled with munchkins when I'm busy - but I felt...

  8. CNA to LVN

    Stephalump replied to jaclyn13's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It's not too late to go back to school! If you don't have the minimum experience, you don't qualify. Limited experience 10 years ago doesn't give you the knowledge and experience you need, and...

  9. Reference from Professor Time Limit?

    Stephalump replied to latebloomer74's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  10. Reference from Professor Time Limit?

    Stephalump replied to latebloomer74's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The polite thing to do when someone asks to use you as a reference is to evaluate whether or not you can be a GOOD reference. It's possible she felt she couldn't rave about you because her...

  11. Does a Sitter need a license or certification to work in a hospital?

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

    The sitters at my hospital are unlicensed and don't perform any patient care. As techs, we're floated as sitters when there aren't enough, as well. So your best bet is to check out job postings in...

  12. I am so frustrated and angry with my school

    Stephalump replied to loveSBK's topic in General Students

  13. chronic illness and the dreaded school physical

    Stephalump replied to wayward_pitbulls's topic in General Students

    I don't know if it's how it works everywhere, but my program states that our medications and health history are protected information that we are under no obligation to share (thanks HIPAA.) There are...

  14. I am so frustrated and angry with my school

    Stephalump replied to loveSBK's topic in General Students

    Wow, I'm so sorry you're dealing with all that garbage. It must be extremely frustrating! We've had situations that warranted regrading, but NEVER like that. Even without all the details, I think...

  15. 5 More Weeks!

    Stephalump replied to Stephalump's topic in General Students

  16. How will grading work if i take anatomy at two different schools?

    Stephalump replied to msmith34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They'll both show up on your records and be part of your cumulative GPA. How a nursing school uses them depends on the school.some only care about the highest, some look at all

  19. Correct grammar

    Stephalump replied to chutley76's topic in General Students

  20. Correct grammar

    Stephalump replied to chutley76's topic in General Students

    Yes, you choose "a" or "an" based on the SOUND of a word, not the actually letter. The letter M is pronounced "Em" so you precede it with the word

  21. What am I doing wrong?

    Stephalump replied to sassynerd's topic in General Students

    I think (and I feel hypocritical for saying this, but it's true) you're being too hard on yourself. People screw up. They fail tests. You even said you've failed tests before, so you know how it...

  22. What to wear for job interview

    Stephalump replied to rubato's topic in General Students

    I stressed SO much about what to wear on my job interviews. I wanted to wear something like a pant suit, but I wasn't in a position to buy one. So, and don't laugh... I wore scrubs. Got job offers...

  25. Getting paid to go to shool?

    Stephalump replied to rse3's topic in General Students

    I have a scholarship from the workforce commission. They pay for my tuition, books, supplies, scrubs, gas - anything school related. It does require me to have an attendance sheet signed weekly. But...
