  1. MD Anderson Clinical Residency - Houston

    Stephalump replied to HouTx's topic in Texas Nursing

    Ah, wow! Hopefully someone got to that one before it closed! Here's another one...

  2. Any ADN-BSN programs in Texas (Not RN-BSN)?

    Stephalump replied to CrazyCoconut's topic in Texas Nursing

    Oh, ok. Not so sure about that. I went to an RN-BSN meeting at University of Houston - Victoria not long ago and they did say they allow students to start in June or January and give an 8 week grace...

  4. Book worm vs. skill set

    Stephalump replied to country3's topic in General Students

  5. A lamb in a den of wolves!

    Stephalump replied to Jinx322's topic in General Students

    Hospitals would rather have unsupervised students than 10 students on one floor. Obviously the system of check-offs before performing a skill independently at the hospital is somewhat satisfactory or...

  7. Book worm vs. skill set

    Stephalump replied to country3's topic in General Students

    First of all, I wouldn't worry too much about nurses preferences for students. Floor nurses especially would prefer a naturally skillful student because it makes their teaching job easier. Slow...

  8. Any ADN-BSN programs in Texas (Not RN-BSN)?

    Stephalump replied to CrazyCoconut's topic in Texas Nursing

    I know UT-Houston and UH-Victoria allow you to start your BSN before sitting for the NCLEX, but the early admission is competitive and part of articulation agreements from certain schools. What...

  9. MD Anderson Clinical Residency - Houston

    Stephalump replied to HouTx's topic in Texas Nursing

    I actually just spoke to someone about this (to figure out the time frame for next cycle) and a BSN is not required. Preferred, but not required. The only academic requirement is graduating from an...

  10. Crap, my first test...

    Stephalump replied to RNstudent13renee's topic in General Students

    Congrats! Studying does seem to make tests easier for some strange reason :) I've made A's on every NS test (except the cumulative final last semester. Don't even ask me how I managed to do that) and...

  11. Does my Pre-nursing schedule sound fair?

    Stephalump replied to StudentN123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm confused as to why you're taking organic chemistry for fun? Isn't that counterintuitive to wanting to protect your

  12. Prioritization question - need help with rationale

    Stephalump replied to Crobert's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have friends who know all the information being taught but still struggle grade-wise because they say they over think questions. I finally get it after reading this thread! If you sit and think...

  13. Just Started Nursing School!

    Stephalump replied to YoungNurseInTraining's topic in General Students

    Oh, I don't think the "your focus shouldn't be fitting in" spiel is really accurate in this case. I'm sure we've ALL spent plenty of time with Erikson and his developmental stages. And we've all spent...

  14. first 101 exam: 93%!

    Stephalump replied to RunnerRN2015's topic in General Students

    Good job! Keep that momentum and excitement going!

  15. A&P 1...study habits??

    Stephalump replied to emily12345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I never recorded any of my lectures and never had a problem. I record them in NS, but I never actually listen to them, so I guess I'm somewhat wasting my time. I honestly just read the book and used...

  16. Tetra of Fallot?

    Stephalump posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My patient this week was a peds patient with pneumonia. He had a history of open heart surgery to correct a congenital defect called Tetra of Fallot. I looked up the defect in my med-surg book and on...

  17. Not sure which path to go

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

    I'm going to repeat what a couple other people have said...the LVN programs I've seen would actually be worse for 12 hour shifts. LVNs have to fit way more clinical time into one year than we do, on...

  18. Tetra of Fallot?

    Stephalump replied to Stephalump's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I had an exam today so I had to put my care plan on the back burner for a few days, but I wanted to be sure to that you all for your help! I have had zero pediatrics so far (someone had to volunteer...

  19. I need money for Nursing School

    Stephalump replied to janejanegirl's topic in General Students

    No one is just going to give you astronomical amounts of money. Even hospitals I know off who offer help with tuition are giving tuition reimbursement - meaning you have to pay for it up front...

  20. My future in nursing

    Stephalump replied to Mr.murse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a question! What is an "advanced

  21. Prioritization question - need help with rationale

    Stephalump replied to Crobert's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think the odds of a patient needing a blood transfusion from a nail sized hole are pretty darn slim. One of the first things that would be done with a wound like that would be giving a tetorifice...

  22. NCLEX Questions in NS

    Stephalump replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

    I do questions that pertain to the test I'm about to take as a way to study. I guess I'm also studying for the NCLEX along the way, but I wouldn't actually dedicate time solely for the that purpose...

  23. How do clinicals work?

    Stephalump replied to beccaleigh72's topic in General Students

    We have about 145 hours of clinical per semester, plus another 30 or so prepping in the

  24. Prioritization question - need help with rationale

    Stephalump replied to Crobert's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    OP, are there any you think you can eliminate right off the

  25. Non compliance

    Stephalump replied to delaynenicholson's topic in General Students

    Have you studied the health behavior change model in school? The idea is that you have to meet people where they are on their path to change. If a patient/loved one isn't even considering change,...
