  1. Am I the only one that feels like this? I need help!

    Stephalump replied to BWillison10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The financial aidissue isn't the fact that you have a bachelors, but how many credits you have. Look up the Satisfactory Academic Requirements of Fed financial aid. You can only receive aid if you...

  2. Pre Nursing with cosmetic medical condition?

    Stephalump replied to anng303's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's hyperbole, not an inference about the OP. OP, don't let it stop you! You deserve the career you dream of, and you can help countless people regardless of your complexion

  3. Be patient with my indecision

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

    Never fear. Any career is what you make of it. Whether it be plumbing, nursing, or dog walking, I believe an intelligent, resourceful person can find a way to be happy and successful. I sense what I...

  4. Insane Course Load ?

    Stephalump replied to mms97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would like to like this at least a dozen times. Nursing school is just like taking multiple sciences at one time. Might as well get used to it before you're fighting for survival. 18 year olds all...

  5. Getting my degree later than many and in not the most traditional of circumstances...

    Stephalump replied to Destiny'skid's topic in General Students

    Eh, most of the students in our class range from 25-40. There are a few closer to 20 and some all the way up to 60, but nursing has become the career of the older and more experienced it seems. No...

  6. Fundamentals

    Stephalump replied to Nicole1354's topic in General Students

    We don't have a designated Fundamentals class. It's spread out across the first year. We do have a Fundamentals textbook we use, though, and it basically covers all the basics of nursing. No specific...

  7. Scrubs cost WHAT???

    Stephalump replied to flying_ace2's topic in General Students

    What in the world?? Why does that even

  8. Tetra of Fallot?

    Stephalump replied to Stephalump's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    On, very cool! I'll put it on my "to watch" list!

  9. Tetra of Fallot?

    Stephalump replied to Stephalump's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ok, so the pulmonary stenosis means there's less deoxygenated blood returning to the lungs to be reoxygenated. The extra work causes the right ventricular hypertrophy. The VSD means there's a hole...

  10. Tetra of Fallot?

    Stephalump replied to Stephalump's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you! You were actually a lot of help. The piece I was missing was the mixing of the blood in the heart, which explains the cyanosis. I don't think he's at higher risk for pneumonia, but the...

  11. Nursing School "Special People"

    Stephalump replied to nolanewb's topic in General Students

    When school first starts, everyone is a little lonely and tries to bond together before they really know each other. The reality is that as time goes on, people gravitate toward each other, form...

  12. I have a concept map due this afternoon on 'unstable blood glucose'

    Stephalump replied to edmond1969's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  13. Second Thoughts..???

    Stephalump replied to msmarcia's topic in General Students

    I'm sure your feelings are pretty common. I think nursing is like teaching. You can have all the coursework in the world, but you won't actually know you like it until you do it. We haven't lost...

  14. How do you learn nursing skills at your school?

    Stephalump replied to loveoutloud's topic in General Students

    For each skill we're assigned reading out of our clinical book. Then we do some activities and quizzes on the companion website. And finally, we go to lab. We spend 2 hours in lab a week. Usually half...

  15. Ebook file sizes

    Stephalump replied to WoundedBird's topic in General Students

    No problem. Yeah, they take up surprisingly little space, so a 16GB should be fine. And I'm glad you understood my autocorrect. Obviously my phone is in nursing world

  16. Non accredited school

    Stephalump replied to bargraphix's topic in General Students

    I'd say it depends the employers in your area. You'll be licensed as a graduate from an unaccredited ADN program, so if hospitals require you be a graduate from an accredited program, you won't...

  17. Peds Play Project

    Stephalump replied to hanlin12's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You could make a stuffed doll out of a no-slip sock :) Or a dress up set...a dress out of a pillowcase and a necklace out of medicine bottle caps. Or you could paint a cafeteria tray with chalkboard...

  18. Lonestar Spring 2013

    Stephalump replied to rayneonme's topic in Texas Nursing

    No problem! I'm positive you'll get in somewhere. :) Good

  19. Non accredited school

    Stephalump replied to bargraphix's topic in General Students

    Double

  20. I want to go to Nursing School

    Stephalump replied to chicks1225's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Look up the Satisfactory Academic Progress standards for Federal financial aid. Along with a maximum loan amount, there are other factors that have to be weighed. The big one for people with bachelors...

  21. Ebook file sizes

    Stephalump replied to WoundedBird's topic in General Students

    I have my fundamentals and med-surg on my iPad and it takes up

  22. ADN interviewing at magnet hospital?

    Stephalump replied to Meg86an's topic in Nursing Career

    You may very well get it! If they had no intention on hiring an ADN they wouldn't bother interviewing you! Magnet is 80/20...hopefully you'll be part of the 20

  23. High divorce rate among nurses? Why?

    Stephalump replied to RevolutioN2013's topic in General Nursing

    Hey I know nurses who used their significant others as a "free ride" to get through school and then kicked them to the curb when they were gainfully employed. Works both ways. I don't think it's a...

  24. RN-BSN in 6 months is DOABLE!

    Stephalump replied to RN*mommy's topic in Western Governors University

    This is so great to know! I'm working on my ADN and realizing I may have made a mistake going this route over a BSN. If I find myself unemployed after passing the NCELX I'd like to get my BSN as...

  25. FULL TIME student while taking CNA course!! Help!

    Stephalump replied to Cham1028's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    While I wasn't in school during my CNA program, I very we'll could have been. I spent exactly zero time outside of school studying or preparing for class and exactly zero time prepping for the state...
