  1. How did/Will you pick out your study group?

    Stephalump replied to Mrs.RNindeed's topic in General Students

    I don't recommend going into the year with a goal of starting a study group right away. Everyone is nice in the beginning, and everyone is trying really hard. Just give em a month or two I like...

  2. Marijuana and Nursing School

    Stephalump replied to heather19's topic in General Students

    I thought the same thing when I read the OP - just saying it's natural doesn't create a valid argument for safety. One does of synthetic Zoloft is infinitely safer than one dose of orificenic or...

  3. Easy?

    Stephalump replied to kp1987's topic in General Students

    +1 There are way too many factors for us to know of you "should" be worried or not. For now, just focus on leaning as much as you can. Don't slack off, and don't borrow trouble because trouble will...

  4. How to decied what to specialize in?

    Stephalump replied to turner76's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that constant questions comes from people's confusion about our education (we're generalists....we specialize in everything while we're in school) and the old job market. You could basically...

  5. Doing Well And It Feels Weird

    Stephalump replied to ShadowsGirl101's topic in General Students

    People hit their strides at different points. I do well in the beginning when I'm full of energy and excited and organized, and then I have my struggles toward the end when I'm out of steam. I'm...

  6. Hard to celebrate your awesome test grade!

    Stephalump replied to ames86's topic in General Students

    Don't say it in your super excited voice. Say it in a normal voice and then celebrate when you get

  7. Dismissed from nursing school...fought back and won in court!

    Stephalump replied to 28studentsfailed's topic in General Students

    That would make an AMAZING episode of Judge

  8. Dismissed from nursing school...fought back and won in court!

    Stephalump replied to 28studentsfailed's topic in General Students

    Oh man, I couldn't find a date on it anywhere! I know it takes a while to get through a lawsuit, but two years seems a bit

  9. The student loan bubble is starting to burst

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

  10. I failed to show up for an interview!!! I feel so dumb!

    Stephalump replied to nikkole318's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Same thing happens to me. I got lost trying to find the right building and was about 15 minutes late. I called and let her know I'd be late, but as soon as my short interview was over, I received a "...

  11. NCLEX early?

    Stephalump replied to queso's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Look at your state's BON website for requirements to sit for the nclex. I guarantee the answer is "no" (one of the main requirements is that you COMPLETE an approves program) but it'll give you a...

  12. Dismissed from nursing school...fought back and won in court!

    Stephalump replied to 28studentsfailed's topic in General Students

    My guess would be that this is a recent deveopment. The OP created a screen name just to inform us of this "incident." It could be only one way of spreading the word. Or it's all bologna.

  13. Marijuana and Nursing School

    Stephalump replied to heather19's topic in General Students

    I think the "gateway" is the propensity to self-medicate...regardless of what you medicate with. Anyone who's ever chased a high knows it takes more of whatever you're using or a shift to something...

  14. New grad looking for first job - what could make a hospital do this?

    Stephalump replied to joemomma35's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree. Leave it alone. I had a similar experience this summer, except I actually had an offer and was set to start orientation. The HR department at that hospital was absolutely atrocious and...

  15. Dismissed from nursing school...fought back and won in court!

    Stephalump replied to 28studentsfailed's topic in General Students

    Different details, though. The only similarity I see is that they both failed out??? I love a good

  16. Dismissed from nursing school...fought back and won in court!

    Stephalump replied to 28studentsfailed's topic in General Students

    Because discussion isn't just for people who agree with each

  17. New graduates with no clinical skills.

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

    My hospitals have been very accommodating, but STILL, I can only get so much experience doing ten 12 hour clinicals per semester, especially when you consider that we don't learn every skill in the...

  18. Social help, not fitting in

    Stephalump replied to nursepeaches's topic in General Students

    My study group has been incredibly valuable to me throughout nursing school. They're my NCLEX question buddies, my late-night cram companions, and my support system. We all bring differing strengths...

  19. Marijuana and Nursing School

    Stephalump replied to heather19's topic in General Students

    Even if you know your programs policy...things change! I wasn't required to have a drug test when I started school because none of our clinical sites required it. 6 months later we were all randomly...

    Stephalump replied to 28studentsfailed's topic in General Students

  21. Why do Nurses tell students to go BSN??

    Stephalump replied to besaangel's topic in General Students

    I've never heard of a residency program (in my area at least) that distinguishes. They're for people who haven't worked as a nurse before or are changing specialities. Plenty of people nowadays go...

  22. Dismissed from nursing school...fought back and won in court!

    Stephalump replied to 28studentsfailed's topic in General Students

    I googled it and found the story

  23. Dismissed from nursing school...fought back and won in court!

    Stephalump replied to 28studentsfailed's topic in General Students

  24. Told to get a rolling backpack. Recommendations?

    Stephalump replied to Wannabeeinscrubs's topic in General Students

    I use the Olympia rolling shopper. I love it! $20 at Tj Maxx, but they do sell it online. It's big and open (don't like having a lot of compartments because most of my stuff is BIG and rolls great....

  25. Marijuana and Nursing School

    Stephalump replied to heather19's topic in General Students

    All of our sites require drug screens, so we're tested. If we fail it, we're kicked out of nursing school. Not to mention that ANY accident at our clinical site (as in, someone ran over your foot...
