  1. Can't afford nursing school

    Stephalump replied to zhightower's topic in General Students

    You can afford nursing school. You can't afford a for-profit school. Do yourself a favor and find a cheaper place. You'll be grateful 5, 10, 15 years from

  2. So ridiculous.

    Stephalump replied to mariaberry19's topic in General Students

    I don't think it's ridiculous, either. Risk for impaired skin integrity is pretty low on the importance list when it comes to someone with something as serious as a

  3. Am I alone Natropathic beleifs...

    Stephalump replied to kplp1111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are a few people in my class who don't agree with a lot of the medical intervention we learn/do. They do just fine, as long as they don't annoy everyone around them (and only one out of the...

  4. Ebooks Required

    Stephalump replied to i♥words's topic in General Students

    My program doesn't require it, but I have two of my books in ebook format, as well as hardcover. I use both pretty extensively (having my med-surg book with me at clinicals is great), but I definitely...

  5. Best way to study in the car

    Stephalump replied to chwcbesteph's topic in General Students

    I don't have as long a long drive, but I really don't like to do anything in the car. By the time I'm heading home, I'm sick of all things nursing. In the mornings I like to go in fresh :) You could...

    Stephalump replied to its_meee's topic in General Students

  8. How should a petite girl prepare for lifting pts?

    Stephalump replied to CaitlinWilliams's topic in General Students

    Get those thighs in shape! I don't think a trainer is necessary, and as the pp stated, you really shouldn't be doing an heavy "lifting." Use lifts and as much help as you need and, of course, proper...

  9. Is it right to pursue nursing if the school is 2 hrs away from husband & kids?

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

    This. Something is obviously broken, and orthopedic shoes and med carts aren't going to be what fixes

  10. Simulation today....advice needed please :)

    Stephalump replied to its_meee's topic in General Students

    Little hint: If you freeze and can't think of anything to do, start back at the beginning of the nursing process and assess. Physical assessment, safety, things like that. It's better than just...

  12. Lonestar Fall 2013 hopefuls

    Stephalump replied to jena5111's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yep, you get three tries to pass both tests or you're out. 90%

  13. Is it right to pursue nursing if the school is 2 hrs away from husband & kids?

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

    Vintagemother, I'm not trying to negate what you've been through, or your message. I 100% believe women should be educated and financially independent, and there are men who actively work to keep...

  16. Louisiana NP's

    Stephalump replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wow! And I thought I was crazy for pursuing NP in

  17. Got first nursing job but can't afford loan payments

    Stephalump replied to venousr3tuRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree, you may end up needing a second job. I know it isn't ideal, but you wouldn't be the first nurse to work her tail off! :-) Hopefully you can get some help with consolidation! Getting out of...

  18. Nursing diagnosis for myself

    Stephalump replied to dewdrop17's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    There is no AEB for "risk for" diagnoses or it would cease to be a risk and become an actual issue

  19. When a friendship turns toxic? Treat or release?

    Stephalump replied to babsy28's topic in General Students

  20. Forced wearing of nursing cap.

    Stephalump replied to onetiredstudent's topic in General Students

    Yes it is. It's all of the above. And a little creepy,

  21. Is it right to pursue nursing if the school is 2 hrs away from husband & kids?

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

    Vintagemother, I'd agree with you if the OP was unable to support her family. She has already been to college and had a career she left to become a stay-at-home-mom. Nothing in her post says she...

  22. Is it right to pursue nursing if the school is 2 hrs away from husband & kids?

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

    Sometimes being a parent isn't all about you. Actually, most of the time it isn't about you In my opinion, you've gotten your "chance" to pursue your dreams, evidenced by the fact that you have...

  23. Sense of Entitlement or Right to "Sample"

    Stephalump replied to Tait's topic in General Students

    Are you saying its appropriate for an allegedly wise authority figure to be rude? The idea that treating people poorly is warranted if you think they did something to deserve it is immature in itself....

  24. I know you should focus on yourself but..

    Stephalump replied to cassi_future_RN's topic in General Students

    Two of my friends were kicked out this semester, one my absolute best nursing school buddy and study partner. I don't care what anyone says...I was devastated. Fortunately my buddy appealed and won!...
