  1. How much to study?

    Stephalump replied to beccaboo322's topic in General Students

    Eh, I probably put in about 3 hours per credit hour. Tops. I've found I can study very little and make a solid B, or I can slave over books for days and days to make that coveted

  2. If I fail last semester, can I transfer elsewhere out-of-state?

    Stephalump replied to okiedokie123's topic in General Students

    I've never heard of anyone being able to do that. Of we fail, we can transfer to a sister school with te same curriculum, but nowhere else due to the lack of uniformity in

  3. Working while going to school

    Stephalump replied to Adriana1120's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Very few people work full time in my program - actually, now that I think about it, the one person go was working full time failed out of the program. Most everyone who works, works part-time or PRN,...

  4. Working weekend option (2-16's)

    Stephalump replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm about to dive into that schedule while I'm finishing up my RN program. 7am-11pm Sa and Sun, only allowed to request off one weekend per quarter. I have a feeling I'll be fine on the weekend and...

  5. Opinions on Becoming a Nurse

    Stephalump replied to Career2_BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think being bossy is a great asset - in moderatio , like most things. One of your main jobs as a nurse is to be their advocate. And sometimes being an advocate means being pushy :) I've been told...

  6. Losing respect for nursing students

    Stephalump replied to kjnsweets's topic in General Nursing

    I'm really enjoying all of the generational bashing here. What's funny is my grandparents and their peers were appalled by my parent's generation. And no doubt my great-grandparents felt the same....

  7. What are you getting paid as a nurse student?

    Stephalump replied to gonnaB37nursedoc's topic in General Students

    For me, as well. Most PCAs/CNAs I've met at the hospital have been doing it for years. Few are nursing students. The vast majority of my class have tried to get positions to get a foot in the door and...

  8. My Daughter Graduates May 10 BSN, Already has a job!

    Stephalump replied to Cathylady's topic in General Students

    Congrats to your daughter! The fact that she's been working is definitely important information - in a lot of places that's one of the most important aspects to getting a

  9. What are you getting paid as a nurse student?

    Stephalump replied to gonnaB37nursedoc's topic in General Students

    Things differ in different areas. The poster was probably just sharing his

  10. Are there really no jobs?

    Stephalump replied to stephanie30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The issue is that job openings do not equal job opportunities for new grads. A hospital could have a million postings, but none of those matter if they aren't looking for YOU. There are a good...

  11. Should I keep my Chemistry book??

    Stephalump replied to 7237dallas's topic in General Students

  12. Ebooks

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

    I find Pageburst to be buggy and annoying - I wish I would've bought my books on the Kno platform. I'm a very kinesthetic person, and highlighting with my fingertip doesn't really replace laying out...

  13. Should I keep my Chemistry book??

    Stephalump replied to 7237dallas's topic in General Students

    I'd definitely sell it. No need for it that I can think

  14. Grades or a Job - Decisions

    Stephalump posted a topic in General Students

    I went on an interview today for a non-licensed position in radiology. I didn't actually apply for the job, but they pulled me out of "the file" (Yes, the file is real! I always thought it was code...

  15. Grades or a Job - Decisions

    Stephalump replied to Stephalump's topic in General Students

    Thank you so much for the advice! I immediately looked over at my husband and told him it's time to hire a cleaning service to come twice a week I'm also going to try the pre-packaged meal idea. At...

  16. Grades or a Job - Decisions

    Stephalump replied to Stephalump's topic in General Students

    Ashley, thank you so much for your response! It really brightened my day :) I think nursing school has changed our lives so dramatically, I've been hesitant to bring another big change to the family....

  18. why do good students get beaten down in nursing school

    Stephalump replied to kvyates's topic in General Students

    Remember...what others think of you is none of your business :) Nursing school is tough. People who have never struggled academically find themselves hanging on by a thread. People start to doubt...

  19. NLNAC

    Stephalump replied to futureJRodRN's topic in General Students

    It's really one of the it depends" issues. Some schools are accredited before they graduate their first class and the world is fine and dandy. Some have a harder time. Some know they'll never pass,...

  20. What are you getting paid as a nurse student?

    Stephalump replied to gonnaB37nursedoc's topic in General Students

    I make $10 an hour + benefits. This is NOT a job you do for the money unless it's your only option. Most of my friends who work in similar positions PRN make around $12/hr (no benefits) but they work...

  21. Previous IV Drug User

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

    First of all, congrats on 3 years clean! That's no small feat. More on topic, I absolutely cannot imagine you'll be starting IVs on one another. I wouldn't let anyone in my cohort get near me with a...

  22. helpppp

    Stephalump replied to believe17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree, you need to look at your area. Yes, most hospitals would love to be Magnet facilities (part of which means having 80% BSN nurses) which severely limits the hiring of ADNs, but they can only...

  23. Starting pay question?

    Stephalump replied to Wrangler156's topic in General Students

    That would disturb me as well! I think I'd verify that info. I've been given bad salary information before. The hospital I work for (hoping for a job offer as an RN as well) has some of the lowest...

  24. Is it presumptuous to have your steth engraved RN when you're a student?

    Stephalump replied to ~Melissa~'s topic in General Students

    I'd say it's the very definition of presumptuous, no? It's taking quite a liberty to engrave a title you have yet to earn for no really great reason that I can see. Worst case scenario, you graduate...

  25. How do you get job offers before graduating NS?

    Stephalump replied to StayHumble11's topic in General Students

    I agree, just start applying! Most people I know who graduated into this market had jobs lined up through GN programs, preceptorships, or hospital jobs they held throughout
