  1. ATI Appeal

    Stephalump replied to sparklenshine1210's topic in General Students

    Maybe, maybe not. She didn't take the NCELX the first time, so we have no idea. Maybe she would've failed anyway and needed the extra time to prepare. The world will never

  2. ATI Appeal

    Stephalump replied to sparklenshine1210's topic in General Students

    She failed out of school then went through school again and then passed the NCELX? It doesn't seem like her newfound success could be due to doing at least some of her coursework

  3. How about some positive nursing school/job stories for us newbies?

    Stephalump replied to PurplePRN's topic in General Students

    As with most things in life, it's all how you look at things. I've rarely met anyone who thought nursing school was a breeze (although they are out there), but there are those who dwell on the...

  5. Chemistry not required for nursing program?

    Stephalump replied to RN2BE93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I learned absolutely NONE of that in chemistry. The vast majority of Chem requiring programs require inorganic chemistry, which is presented in relation to the body at a rate of pretty much... zero....

  6. Chemistry not required for nursing program?

    Stephalump replied to RN2BE93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My ADN program doesn't require chemistry, but my bridge program does. I have take chemistry, however, and I haven't really met up with any nursing components that absolutely required an in depth...

  7. BS Chemistry - ADN or BSN program?

    Stephalump replied to BenFL's topic in General Students

    I degree in chemistry really has no bearing nursing, except you probably won't have to take any chem prereqs. In the nursing world a phd + an ADN = an ADN and you will be treated as such. The move in...

  8. Too young/ early in life to be in Nursing Program?

    Stephalump replied to futuresctRN's topic in General Students

    Eh. Brush them haters off. Plenty of people live at home with their parents to save money while in school. Including long-time adults with kids of their own. Lots of people choose not to work while in...

  9. Insider Tips for Debinding Your Precious Textbooks

    Stephalump replied to TheBlackDogWaits's topic in General Students

    Oooo, now I'm actually intrigued by the idea. The pages in my books are so paper thin, I don't think they could withstand a 3 rung binder, and an open folder system can't withstand my

  10. Insider Tips for Debinding Your Precious Textbooks

    Stephalump replied to TheBlackDogWaits's topic in General Students

    Has anyone tried using he special hole punch to turn their books into spiral notebooks vs 3

  11. What are your tips/tricks for doing well in nursing school?

    Stephalump replied to TeeGuneys23's topic in General Students

    I'm also going to put concept mapping out there. We discovered it during a study group and it changed my life...a little, at least. It helps link ideas together in a logical way, but it's also great...

  12. Is using quizlet to study NCLEX questions cheating?

    Stephalump replied to GabrielstudentRN's topic in General Students

    Ah, ok, I'm with you now

  13. Is using quizlet to study NCLEX questions cheating?

    Stephalump replied to GabrielstudentRN's topic in General Students

    JustBeachyNurse, I really don't understand how the TOS of Quizlet has anything to do with the OP and her behavior being cheating. The "law" she may or may not have been ignorant of is that people may...

  14. Worth it to go back for a BSN?

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

    Mmm, of course the stating wage varies a bit by where you live, but you can generally expect to start out making somewhere between $20-24/hr as a new grad. I've seen less and I've seen more, but the...

  16. What tape recorder do you prefer?

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

    I like it! It also saves me a bunch of PowerPoint lugging and printing bc I can write right on them with my stylus and then print then annotated if I feel like. But they do take up a lot of memory...

  17. Clinical Uncertainty

    Stephalump posted a topic in General Students

    I felt really out of place during clinicals last semester. We took one patient as our "own," but because our skill set is limited I tended to spend time with other patients doing what was needed there...

  18. need a little advice!! Which school would you choose?!!

    Stephalump replied to starnurse2b16's topic in General Students

  19. need a little advice!! Which school would you choose?!!

    Stephalump replied to starnurse2b16's topic in General Students

    I don't really have any information on the schools you're looking at, but I'd encourage you to take a deep breath. Being an advanced practice nurse is going to take patience and hard work. Bare...

  20. How old were you when starting prereqs and did it discourage you?

    Stephalump replied to princesax11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was 22 when I started prereqs. I'd previously been working on another degree, so I had a few of them done, but not many. Fast forward to now. I'm 28 and just finished my first year of nursing...

  21. Non accredited school

    Stephalump replied to bargraphix's topic in General Students

    I would definitely check out job postings in your area and RN-BSN programs as well. Where I live you'd be hard-pressed to find a hospital job with a degree from an unaccredited school. Almost every...

  22. Crutches during clinicals?

    Stephalump replied to Compassion_x's topic in General Students

    We cannot have crutches or anything like that in clinicals because it eliminates you from being able to meet minimum physical requirements. Ie, we must be able to lift at least

  23. Where is the best nursing school

    Stephalump replied to caringkind11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know about "best." Are you looking for prestige or the absolute best training you can

  24. What tape recorder do you prefer?

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

    I use my iPad and the Notability app. It saves my recordings with my powerpoints, and I can press on any notes I've typed and automatically play the part of the lecture at that point. I can also email...
