  1. Any Sam Houston State University Spring 2013 prospective students out there?

    Stephalump replied to OpheliasWings's topic in Texas Nursing

    No, they didn't. They're holding their first site review today for the accreditation. They're candidates, meaning they've applied. If you ever want to see which schools have been accredited in TX,...

  2. I'm not going to lie...

    Stephalump replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    I can agree with that. It's the nature of the argument. People arguing in favor of BSN entry have or have had access to BSN programs. They receive no benefit from more access to the profession - less...

  3. Speaking About Nurses Who Moonlight As Dancers

    Stephalump replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Nursing News

    When people go against social norms there's a sort of, I don't know...push...for you prove you aren't ashamed of what you're doing. Frequently that push means being as public as possible, consequences...

  4. Jealous much?

    Stephalump replied to jakefromstatefarm's topic in General Students

    I think we have

  5. Jealous much?

    Stephalump replied to jakefromstatefarm's topic in General Students

    For my intents and purposes, internship does equal job. Our med center has realized it's cheaper and easier to hire and train all their new grads at once, so I GN residencies are turning into the only...

  6. Struggling to meet the bare minimum in one class...need support

    Stephalump replied to EmilyEmily's topic in General Students

    It's hard to give really awesome advice from this side of the computer screen because we can't really know you or your bag of tricks or your situation. We can just blindly throw out ideas and hope one...

  7. Struggling to meet the bare minimum in one class...need support

    Stephalump replied to EmilyEmily's topic in General Students

    This may seem dumb but...if your problem is just changing answers can't you just stop changing your

  8. What if we had to tell the real truth when asked about our weaknesses?

    Stephalump replied to RNperdiem's topic in General Nursing

    I, no lie, had a section in my post about my bad habit of interrupting. I deleted it because my post just kept getting longer and longer.

  9. Speaking About Nurses Who Moonlight As Dancers

    Stephalump replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Nursing News

    I always catch a burlesque show when I go to Vegas. Sexy, fun, and usually some great dancing. Low on the "dirty." While she is taking her clothes off, burlesque is a bit different than working a pole...

  10. I'm not going to lie...

    Stephalump replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    It's no different than any other profession. As more people reach a certain educational level, the "value" goes down, and employers find new ways to be selective. Once upon a time a high school...

  11. I'm not going to lie...

    Stephalump replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

  12. A question about questions.

    Stephalump replied to Beautiful Mind RN's topic in General Students

  13. Jealous much?

    Stephalump replied to jakefromstatefarm's topic in General Students

    Depends on who you ask. There isn't a GN internship around that will take a student with less than a 3.0, and it's competitive from that point

  14. You're so smart, you should be a doctor.

    Stephalump replied to i♥words's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All the time. And not just family/friends, but classmates! Because I do well in my current coursework, I suppose that means I should be doing something more rigorous? The world of nursing needs...

  15. LSC - Spring 2013 - Acceptance Information (dates, scores, etc...)

    Stephalump replied to root.user's topic in Texas Nursing

    Block pretty much just means you study one subject at a time. You'll have an entire course on OB. You'll have a separate Mental Health class, and you'll learn all your Fundamentals type things at...

  16. "Can't be a nurse if you suck as a waitress."

    Stephalump replied to bonjournurse2b's topic in General Students

    My guess is yes, the experience will probably translate to nursing. You'll probably start out feeling like you're doing a million things and looking like a dumbass. And then, just like waitressing,...

  17. I'm not going to lie...

    Stephalump replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    I didn't make a sweeping statement. I used an anecdote, and I will not be submitting evidence to corroborate my personal experience in one tiny section of the world, because it isn't the crux of the...

  18. I'm not going to lie...

    Stephalump replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

  19. I'm not going to lie...

    Stephalump replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    The MINIMUM number of clinical hours is set by the BON. It's entirely possible for one program to get more clinical hours than other. Before the surge of BSN students came to town, the ADN programs...

  20. I'm not going to lie...

    Stephalump replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    I don't dispute that buy point is that the list of changes that need to be made to the educational system is not a Hirt one, I don't think BSN-only even ranks at the top. We don't just need bachelor's...

  21. What if we had to tell the real truth when asked about our weaknesses?

    Stephalump replied to RNperdiem's topic in General Nursing

    My weaknesses are pretty much identical to yours, OP. Work smarter, not harder is one of my lifelong mottos, and it stems from that ever present lazy streak I have that will probably never go away....

  22. Not a real nurse huh?

    Stephalump replied to kkrlaa5512's topic in School

    Oh, don't let people's opinions get ya down. We all have our own ideas of what nursing "is," and all that matters is you're living up to your expectations. I did a school nursing clinical rotation and...

  23. Any Sam Houston State University Spring 2013 prospective students out there?

    Stephalump replied to OpheliasWings's topic in Texas Nursing

    The most important thing I've been told is to stay on top of their accreditation. You can't undo graduating from an unaccredited program, and every Texas grad school requires that you graduate from an...

  24. I'm not going to lie...

    Stephalump replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

  25. Medical missions as a student nurse

    Stephalump replied to Cclamb16's topic in General Students

    I haven't done one yet, but I am headed to Tanzania this summer! We're going through the organization ISL. Our team is specifically nursing students from our program, but they do allow solo...
