  1. "Not too bad" nursing school?

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

    Well, considering this person isn't the one who attended the program, I wouldn't worry about the meaning. I don't think my husband - the man who hears every minuscule detail of every up and down I...

  2. Is it wise?!

    Stephalump replied to ari426's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As unhelpful as it sounds, it really does vary person to person. I'm the type of person who throws themselves into things with a ton of energy and force. It's great, but it's hard to sustain over the...

  3. The importance of "staying fit"?!?

    Stephalump replied to futurenursekl's topic in General Students

    Everyone has their own reasons for staying fit. Mine are mostly vain. I like liking what I see in the mirror and wearing the size I want to wear. I lift weights, and I love it. It's my stress...

  4. Fundamentals Success 2nd edition vs 3rd edition

    Stephalump replied to Mrsladysoul83's topic in General Students

    Now I want to know where, but you can't post it! Grrrr. I LOVE, love the Success series. I'm trying to collect them

  5. First week down........

    Stephalump replied to LoriRNCM's topic in General Students

    Hooray! Such an awesome milestone in your education. I'm in the "It DOES get better" camp. The work may not lessen, the projects my pile on, but there's something to be said for adjusting to the...

  6. My Fellow Nursing Students

    Stephalump replied to LoveNeverDies's topic in General Students

    Thank you for posting that, LoveNeverDies. It was much needed. :) What an

  7. How to read and study nursing textbooks?

    Stephalump replied to Vega043's topic in General Students

    I don't read every word. I learned to scan and skim the chapters very early on for things that I need to know. It would be great if we knew every fact, figure, and idea in those books, but it ain't...

  8. Back to school I go...again

    Stephalump replied to SunshineDaisy's topic in General Students

    Ugh, me too! The 26th is creeping up on me and I'm needing another 6 weeks of summer, minimum. I'm stoked to see my buddies make often and - more importantly - GRADUATE! But blah. Not looking forward...

  9. Any app that does import powerpoints and can edit them for ipad????

    Stephalump replied to Kdavina's topic in General Students

    I use noteability. You can't edit them like you can in PowerPoint, but you can write or type on

  10. Is it worth it anymore?

    Stephalump replied to shaniceg's topic in General Students

    I'm putting in a lot of hard work at zero cost to me and for a max of 3 years. If I went the med school route I'd be putting in a lot of hard(ER - I'm sorry, I've done both and pre-nursing isn't as...

  11. Organizee/Planner

    Stephalump replied to mcbtny9's topic in General Students

    I love the Uncalendar! The tactile act of finding the day and writing out my plans manually really gets things sticking... Plus it's fun if you're a freak like me.

  12. can we have an honest discussion about foreign profs?

    Stephalump replied to richardgecko's topic in General Students

    Ugh, professors who read directly from the PPs make me want to poke my eyes out with a hot fire poker. I'm an intelligent woman - I can go home and read to myself 3xs faster if that's all you're going...

  13. Anyone working on "Extra Goals"?

    Stephalump replied to RNinthemaking15's topic in General Students

    I'm working on losing weight, as well. I had an extra 10-15lbs on me when I started NS and I put on an extra 20 in just the first semester. Thanks to lots of wine, Starbucks, and restaurant study...

  14. School appealing loss of NLN accreditation - start over or take a chance?

    Stephalump replied to leekaye's topic in General Students

    Preach! I don't know what kind of shady business is going on here but I agree - do your research out where it counts: employers and prospective future

  15. Having a baby summer before last semester??

    Stephalump replied to JLB1215's topic in General Students

    Baby fever is nature's ace in the hole. It can overpower logic, ambition, and selfishness - pretty darn powerful! In my opinion, it's really not worth the extra stress and time away from your new...

  16. Facebook: Should I Just Give in and Join?

    Stephalump replied to ScientistSalarian's topic in General Students

    Our Facebook is pretty useless to anyone who knows how to use a planner and write things down. No one posts their notes or study guides. It's mostly just people asking...what day is our final...

  17. The Use of Nursing Diagnosis After School

    Stephalump replied to RubberDuckieLove's topic in General Students

    We have full access to the charts. I've seen lists that look somewhat reminiscent of nursing diagnoses, but definitively not NANDA, so I guess that must be it? On the floor it's typically something...

  18. The Use of Nursing Diagnosis After School

    Stephalump replied to RubberDuckieLove's topic in General Students

    I have yet to see any nursing diagnoses used at any of my clinical

  19. Exhausted

    Stephalump replied to BSNinprogress22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd suggest taking a break. We all get burnt out toward the end of the semester (why doesn't the energy ever last a few more weeks?), but what's even worse is burning out 6 weeks into the semester...

  20. Statistics online

    Stephalump replied to Jenjer003's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP, I took it online and I dropped it. I absolutely cannot learn math by reading it. I discovered Khan Academy and it's a great resource BUT it was too little too late and I don't think I could have...

  21. Is nursing school supposed to be harder?

    Stephalump replied to Lucidity's topic in General Students

    I'd say a good indicator would be the distribution of grades - it should be pretty much normal - ie, a few fail, a few get As, and most everyone falls right smack in the middle. If everyone is making...

  22. What Stethoscope for first semesters of Clinicals

    Stephalump replied to larma's topic in General Students

    More than being grossed out, impolite to come to clinicals without tools you know you'll need (and you'll definitely need a stethoscope) because you expect to use other people's. Definitely get one....

  23. My first pharmacology test

    Stephalump replied to mytwoboysmom's topic in General Students

    That's

  24. What if you're still unsure what kind of nurse you want to be?

    Stephalump replied to Certifiable's topic in General Students

    I have no clue what I want to do either. Nothing I've done so far has reached out and smacked me in the face as "the dream" so I'm still one of the few undecideds in my cohort. I'm not too worried...

  25. Organizing Class Work, Handouts, and Binders

    Stephalump replied to mcbtny9's topic in General Students

    I think it's one of those personal-preference, trial and error things. Most of my friends have tried at least 3 different organizational methods during NS before settling on one. Personally, I keep...
