  1. How do you accept the fact you might not get in?

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

    It's not really that they're more lenient because of cost; it's all about the applicant pool. Some private schools have fewer applicants than public schools because of cost. Fewer applicants increases...

  2. Giant Concept Maps - My Kryptonite

    Stephalump posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hello! I'm struggling putting a concept map together, so once again I defer to the genius found here. So here's the deal: 25 year old female pt 5ft 6in and 95lbs Complains of shoulder pain Admitting...

  3. Giant Concept Maps - My Kryptonite

    Stephalump replied to Stephalump's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Goodness gracious, I don't know what I was thinking! I've been working on this thing for 14 hours now. And it's due bright and early tomorrow morning! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I was in the...

  4. High PT, Low INR

    Stephalump posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How is this possible? PT: 12.9 INR: 1.24 Patient's entire life story located in my concept map

  5. High PT, Low INR

    Stephalump replied to Stephalump's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have the norm for PT as 9.3-11.3 and INR as 1.5-3.0 at this particular lab. I'm trying to figure out is this person is at risk for bleeding or embolism since she has hepatitis AND antiphospholipid...

  6. Thought I would never see this day happen :(

    Stephalump replied to barcode120x's topic in General Students

    That's so tough. I'm so sorry I went through a similar situation last semester; I lost my study buddy/support system to dosage calc and I was completely devastated. BUT, she appealed and she's here...

  7. Professor who is too easy??

    Stephalump replied to 7237dallas's topic in General Students

    I would definitely not look for a different professor. Regardless of the professor's style, you are in charge of your learning experience. Tests and quizzes are for the professor to gauge how much...

  8. Technology Advice for Nursing School

    Stephalump replied to goldeeloks23's topic in General Students

    Yes, I love

  9. Technology Advice for Nursing School

    Stephalump replied to goldeeloks23's topic in General Students

    I have an iPad and an HP laptop. Laptop only comes to school with me on the rare occasions that I'm going to be doing serious work at the school (writing a paper in the library, for example). I also...

  10. For Fun--Kudos 2 Me...The "toot your own horn" thread

    Stephalump replied to tammy1974's topic in General Students

    Haha, maybe...except I was wearing scrubs (lab day.) So sad. I've been almost completely ignored by my clinical instructors throughout nursing school. I don't get it. I mean, I guess it could be worse...

  11. For Fun--Kudos 2 Me...The "toot your own horn" thread

    Stephalump replied to tammy1974's topic in General Students

    Holy moly! You win the thread! :)This morning I walked into a test proctored by my clinical instructor and she asked me, "Do you belong in this room? Are you in this clinical group?" Making big...

  15. RN program with no pre-reqs?

    Stephalump replied to SweetHeartRN2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  16. test bank questions

    Stephalump replied to julimom's topic in General Students

  17. Considering ASN now and RN-MSN later

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

    I'd say look at your job market. Saving money is great, but if you won't be hirable in acute care (and that's what you're into) after graduation, then that smaller amount of money is still somewhat...

  18. Ridiculous quote about nurses featured in a sociology book..

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

    Maybe it's just me, but I don't find that statement all that scandalous. Nursing is shift work that comes with a huge amount of responsibility and pay that isn't necessarily commensurate with that...

  19. How different is ASN vs. BSN?

    Stephalump replied to parkj9's topic in General Students

    I've never heard of a much larger salary for BSNs anywhere. I'm astounded when people say they make $1 more an hour - there's zero difference in pay where I

  20. RN program with no pre-reqs?

    Stephalump replied to SweetHeartRN2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My program was somewhat like that. Because it's an AAS, there aren't as many gen ed requirements, and the only classes you had to take to apply were AP 1, Gen Psych, and a semester of English. All the...

  21. Terrrible first day of clincal

    Stephalump replied to Zelda21's topic in General Students

    Hey! I had a similar experience during my first year. My clinical instructor popped by briefly a couple times a day and asked me if I had any questions. Other than skills check-offs, that's really the...

  22. Please listen!!!

    Stephalump replied to snowwhite2002's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Uh, they all look favorably on CNAs. The point is that you've been in health care. You know the environment and you can be fairly certain it's the right place for you. What's up with being so snarky...

  23. Teacher uses a different textbook for tests

    Stephalump replied to smilemore78's topic in General Students

    All the books are pretty much identical...just written differently. I don think it would make a luck of

  24. Teacher uses a different textbook for tests

    Stephalump replied to smilemore78's topic in General Students

    I think you should complain about it and report

  25. What is general skills lab etiquette?

    Stephalump replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Students

    I think you need to keep things in perspective here. Wild enthusiasm doesn't advance the profession. What you do and how you handle yourself is the crux of the matter. And quite frankly, a student...
