  1. Horrible Professor!

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

    Ah, I think everyone has at least one of those. That teacher who you never forget...and not in a good way. I have a bright and shiny "C" on my transcript from a fun semester with the micro professor...

  2. This is my story.

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

    I remember you! We were all completely in shock by all that took place so early into your nursing school career! I'm so glad you came back to update, and I'm even more glad you've found your way back...

  3. I'm a procrastinator... Help?

    Stephalump replied to twss2323's topic in General Students

    Procrastinators, unite! I have a few adaptive things I've learned through the years - such as dividing up assignments into small chunks and putting it all in my planner (love my Uncalendar!) and...

  4. There no crying in....nursing school

    Stephalump replied to linzjane88's topic in General Students

    Oh goodness, there is definitely crying in nursing school! And I'm not a cryer. I can relate to your struggle...I ended up applying for Childcare assistance that subsidized a large portion of my cost...

  5. So Happy

    Stephalump replied to Stephalump's topic in General Students

    Thank you everyone! I know we all have things to celebrate...getting into nursing school, finishing any number of semesters, graduating...so "yay" to all of

  6. Chemistry Question - Is it necessary?

    Stephalump replied to Trenata's topic in General Students

    Not a prerequisite for my program. There may have been a few "Hey, I remember this from chemistry!" moments , but not enough to warrant taking the course if you really don't want to. All the conceits...

  7. Devestated, I failed my first semester

    Stephalump replied to tabz4u2's topic in General Students

    It definitely gets easier. Even though the material gets harder, you have a framework built, you're more used to NCLEX questions, and you're basically just in a groove. I hope you get in in the

    Stephalump replied to jena5111's topic in Texas Nursing

  9. How many days till your pinning ceremony?

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

    About 364! It seems like so long when I count in days. I find "13 months" more inspiring

  10. Whats your favorite montra or saying?

    Stephalump replied to Kimynurse's topic in General Students

    I say this to myself a lot...it just becomes a longer and longer time frame lol. I'm telling myself I can do anything for a year at this

  11. Nusing School computer

    Stephalump replied to mcbtny9's topic in General Students

  12. Lonestar Fall 2013 hopefuls

    Stephalump replied to jena5111's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey, sorry! Been busy celebrating being 50% of a nurse :) There's nothing for sale at orientation. You'll get a reading assignment of about 30 chapters in your Fundamentals book, so you'll need to buy...

  13. How many of you...

    Stephalump replied to gabriellegoss's topic in General Students

    I take it every semester! It used to be an exit requirement, but now it's just another test

  14. ADN students...how quickly will you enroll for BSN?

    Stephalump replied to Katie71275's topic in General Students

    I graduate next may and start my BSN in June. Not much of a break, but it's a condition of

  15. Financial Aid Appeal?

    Stephalump replied to evmarie's topic in General Students

    I had a similar problem. I'm complexity ineligible for any financial aid at a community college, and that includes federal loans. Fortunately CCs are fairly cheap, and it made more financial sense for...

  16. Gah! Sick for exam week!

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

    Ugh, that's the worst! A completely unplanned and uncontrollable interruption to life :/ Hope you heal quickly and your family stays healthy! My house caught a GI bug a couple weeks ago and then...

  17. What's on your study desk?

    Stephalump replied to 2LMNOP's topic in General Students

    I can't study anywhere at home. Suddenly, doing laundry seems fun. Washing dishes seems like a vacation. Organizing wedding photos from a decade ago is a necessity! My poor husband set me up a really...

  18. What's on your study desk?

    Stephalump replied to 2LMNOP's topic in General Students

    A lamp. A Big Gulp. A knitting gift basket I won at a silent auction. A plastic fork. A bottle of Tylenol. A copy of Woman Within magazine (no clue what or what) A lip gloss applicator without...

  19. It really annoys me when nurses say they are going to go to med school...

    Stephalump replied to megank5183's topic in General Nursing

  20. How do I know nursing is right for me?

    Stephalump replied to aliciat22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree. Work as a CNA! But in the end, much like most careers, sometimes all you can do is jump in and see what happens. If you start nursing school and hate it, there's no shame in leaving. If you...

  21. What Exactly Is A Point System?

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

    It's basically just a system where you get points for meeting different criteria. Whoever has the most points get in. It's a way to make the admissions decision objective, while still considering...

  22. Good idea or Bad idea for studying for the NCLEX?

    Stephalump replied to Lilpoka's topic in General Students

    Definitely start working on practice questions! The sooner, the better, and it'll make next year so much easer as

  23. Having a bachelors degree in something other than nursing...

    Stephalump replied to m20forshee's topic in General Students

    There is no substitute for a BSN, unfortunately. Employers aren't just gung-ho over bachelors degrees in general - they want that specific degree. Unfortunate for the large number of career changers...

  24. Seriously what are the chances of getting in?

    Stephalump replied to angellove6776's topic in General Students

    It's a Texas thing :) I'm sure some other states have it, too. But everything 10+ years old has to be erased...no picking and

  25. Can old resources still be useful?

    Stephalump replied to Shinnichi's topic in General Students

    Hey, I use my mom's old nursing stuff as resources! Some things don't change. And in reality, you should also be using your required current stuff, so you should notice any changes that have...
