  1. There no crying in....nursing school

    Stephalump replied to linzjane88's topic in General Students

    The OP is not my patient, your patient, or anyone else here's patient, so I'm thinking no...it's not "our job" to do anything. This is a social site. If you want to help someone here, it's done...

  2. There no crying in....nursing school

    Stephalump replied to linzjane88's topic in General Students

    It is absolutely not our job to walk around telling people "how it is" just because we have the letters RN/LPN behind our name. You know that person that tells "harsh truth" to friends, family,...

  3. "Learning a New Language?"

    Stephalump replied to smoup's topic in General Students

  4. Poop in nursing

    Stephalump replied to KATRN78's topic in General Students

  5. Anyone else's local hospitals doing this?

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

    My areas likes to hire new grads in waves via infer shops and residencies. Which means you apply to start in January or May, and that's about it. I was looking at an add for a big job fair coming up...

  6. Advice on When to Have the Baby

    Stephalump replied to kelsey1992's topic in General Students

    I really don't see how it would work out logistically. If you marry in March, the earliest due date you could have would be December. So if you wait to work at 6 weeks postpartum, you'll be almost a...

  7. Teaching AND Nursing. Is it possible?

    Stephalump replied to rmhgy5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree that it's definitely possible, just not practical - you might be able to do everything, but of probably won't do all of well. Odds are as you end up proceeding on your journey you'll find...

  8. readings & notes

    Stephalump replied to zoe92's topic in General Students

    I might skim a little before class, but I do most of my reading after the material has been lectured on. I find myself really bored in class if I read everything already. When I'm reading, I'm a...

  9. Can they give you clinical times on weekends?

    Stephalump replied to nursing_student93's topic in General Students

    Nursinursong programs own us. They can give us pretty much anything. My instructors love their nights and weekends, too, so it would have to be dire circumstances for us to have night/weekend...

  10. How to be honest with employers but still get a job if you only to work 1 yr?

    Stephalump replied to nursing_student93's topic in General Students

    I think it's a non-issue. Until you've graduated, and actually been accepted to an NP program it's all just hoping and planning and no one's

  11. Lonestar Fall 2013 hopefuls

    Stephalump replied to jena5111's topic in Texas Nursing

    I think you have to take it by the time you start second year? I know a bunch of people taking it this summer between years. It could just have to e done by graduation, but I don't think you could do...

  13. Adrenal Fatigue.. so THAT'S what's wrong with me!

    Stephalump replied to Underoo's topic in General Nursing

    Hello! I actually have adrenal insufficiency - I don'tknow much about adrenal fatigue, other than a few things I've read. It seems to still be sort of just a theory - a mild, temporary form of adrenal...

  14. Baby nurses?!?!?!?

    Stephalump replied to LandD_RN_chica's topic in General Nursing

    I'm fairly certain nannies have been referred to as nurses a just as long as medical nurses have, if not longer.

  15. Nurses need water

    Stephalump replied to Heidimc's topic in General Nursing

    Not being allowed to have water on the floor is killer. I'm a big water drinker, but at the hospital it's downright impossible to keep hydrated and I pay the price by feeling run-down, tired, and just...

  16. Lonestar Fall 2013 hopefuls

    Stephalump replied to jena5111's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yep, you need your stethoscope for blood pressures in the summer. As far as a watch goes, I'd just invest in something cheap and easy to clean, like one of those colorful rubber watches they sell at...

  17. Lonestar Fall 2013 hopefuls

    Stephalump replied to jena5111's topic in Texas Nursing

    Mmmm I can't really remember. In the beginning there were a couple Friday classes since there's so much going on those first few weeks Then there are group project presentations and extra clinical...

  18. Scrubs!!

    Stephalump replied to BBB<3's topic in General Students

    Hahahahaaaaa!

  19. Scrubs!!

    Stephalump replied to BBB<3's topic in General Students

    They're cute! Much cuter than mine...I'm stuck in white. You just have very style conscious staff in your program. :) I would advise you, however, not to post photos or other identifying info on...

  20. schedules

    Stephalump replied to superstar04's topic in General Students

    I can't study at night unless there's a ton of pressure on me, especially at home. If I'm at home I'm ready to crawl in bed at 9pm. Very unproductive. So I stay at school and study/do assignment...

    Stephalump replied to us5morts's topic in General Students

  23. Babies during Nursing school?

    Stephalump replied to nhunter8's topic in General Students

    I'm pretty sure you can always find someone whos been there, done that, and succeeded. Those who didn't succeed are a little harder to find, since they're probably not hanging out here. :) With the...

  24. was reported by a nurse... what's going to happen?

    Stephalump replied to Priaz's topic in General Students

    Whoops!

  25. Question?!

    Stephalump replied to us5morts's topic in General Students

    You don't actually have a choice. They'll request all transcripts, and won't admit you without them. If for some reason you get away with it, it's a violation of rules and if it catches up to...
