  1. Best tablet to use?

    Stephalump replied to brandonw's topic in General Students

    I love, love, love my iPad for school. I have my biggest books in e-format on it (I have hard cover copies as well), I store and annotate my powerpoints on it, I record lectures, I type up my clinical...

  2. I can't go to the ICU!

    Stephalump replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

  3. Can an "C" average student make it in the nursing world? Help Please

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

    I've never really bought into the mentality that you can be bad at the knowledge part of nursing but great at the clinical aspect. The best nurses out there have an incredible knowledge base AND a...

  4. I can't go to the ICU!

    Stephalump replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    I agree that the one day won't make any difference, especially since you're only observing. If you were missing out on an actual clinical rotation, that would be one thing, but I've mostly found...

  5. What was your excitement level!

    Stephalump replied to NursingN.C's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was super super excited! Then I realized I'd be on a cruise the week the acceptance/denial letters were sent out and I was devastated that I'd have to wait even longer. Then when I finally got the...

  6. First day of nursing school! Anyone else?

    Stephalump replied to Baubo516's topic in General Students

    My first day OFF school this semester is tomorrow. So very excited

  7. Where do you want to work?

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

    I'd love to work at Texas Children's Hospital or M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Hopefully someday soon

  8. What is a multiple exit nursing program?

    Stephalump replied to Samgee's topic in General Students

    In ours you can leave after the first semester and be a CNA. After the first year we can go an extra summer session and become an LVN. And then RN after two years. It's also a multiple entry level...

  9. Nursing live vs family life

    Stephalump replied to Student Nurse_7's topic in General Students

    It was a joke...

  10. difficult to find a job with an ASN?

    Stephalump replied to BJR87's topic in General Students

    My area is still ok for ADN grads, as long as you ate not dead set on working in a hospital. I'm close to a giant med center and it's virtually impossible to get in there as a new grad with an...

  11. First week of school down...what have I done!

    Stephalump replied to FDW630's topic in General Students

  12. Single Mother Starting RN Program

    Stephalump replied to KnK0809's topic in General Students

    I have quite a few working single mothers in my cohort, and they are extremely busy, but successful. I'm not a single parent, so I don't have any tips specific to your situation, but I know it can be...

  13. Finding time to exercise

    Stephalump replied to SSNS07's topic in General Students

    Here's the realization I had to come to. Whether I'm a nursing student and mom or a nurse and mom, I'm going to be busy and feel like I don't have enough time. But the reality is, when I carve out...

  14. Transferring from a BSN program to an ASN - BSN program

    Stephalump replied to kitten2013's topic in General Students

  15. First week of ursing school

    Stephalump replied to -Katie-'s topic in General Students

    Ugh. I'm so sorry! What a terrible start to your nursing school jointly. I came down with some nasty bug my first week of nursing school, and that bug turned into bronchitis and then pneumonia. I...

  16. Scrubs cost WHAT???

    Stephalump replied to flying_ace2's topic in General Students

    That's crazy! My favorite scrubs are on the more expensive side of the spectrum and I can get two pairs for $90, maybe $30 for a lab coat. My patches are $0.25 a piece. Plus I can't imagine your...

  17. Please tell me what worked for you in MED SURG?

    Stephalump replied to NurseKis's topic in General Students

    I do a concept map kind of thing. Med dx in the middle and then a section for patho, signs and symptoms, diagnostic tests, and pharm and non-pharm treatment. Then I do one for the nursing process...

  18. Transferring from a BSN program to an ASN - BSN program

    Stephalump replied to kitten2013's topic in General Students

  19. Dieting and nursing school

    Stephalump replied to Jennybrie's topic in General Students

    I do weight watchers. It doesn't stress me out, I'm never starving, and it's flexible enough for me. Also work out at the school gym before or after

  20. How many hrs a day did u study for A&P1

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

    It's been a while , but. Really doubt I studied every day. Maybe an average of 2 hours a day during the week. . Perhaps more if you include any night-before-test cram

  21. Transferring from a BSN program to an ASN - BSN program

    Stephalump replied to kitten2013's topic in General Students

    Yes. It looks like you moved to a school that doesn't actually have a BSN program for non-nurses. So you'll have to get your associates degree (looks like it'll take 2 years or 1.5 years). Then you...

  22. I love my program so far!

    Stephalump replied to Melela's topic in General Students

    Great! So glad you're getting off to such a positive start! I love my program as well. All the stress and struggle is so much easier to handle when you know the staff is rooting for you and willing...

  23. Can someone tell me how to not be traumatized in med microbioogy?

    Stephalump replied to Dezy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My micro teacher told us we'd either leave the course afraid of everything or totally fearless. Just remember, you may not have known some of the things you'll learn, but they were still there. And...

  24. Microbiology Scare

    Stephalump replied to Keeka_Prenurse13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You wrote that taking a&p before micro is detrimental to success. Detrimental means harmful, so you're actually telling the OP to take microbiology first :-) OP, I had no choice but to take a...

  25. BSN to PA school?

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

    People don't major in nursing because it's inefficient. You bust your hump in a life-consuming program that tends to give out an abundance of Bs and Cs and complete relatively few prereqs required by...
