  1. Much needed advice please:)

    Stephalump replied to wchelsea's topic in General Students

    You can look for a hospital job for sure, but they aren't easy to come by with no experience. So if you don't have any, I'd put in applications but also start looking at other programs. UTA is the...

  2. What was the hardest course youve taken?

    Stephalump replied to MeekaNichole's topic in General Students

    Statistics. My brain just doesn't think that

  3. Who were you in high school

    Stephalump replied to Dezy's topic in General Students

    I went to small private schools most of my life so the social dynamic was a little bit different for me than most. But I was pretty much the girl who floated around to all the cliques and got along...

  4. classes

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

    I agree! I actually find summer/short sessions easier. I can just live and breath a subject for 3-8 weeks rather than spread my attention around to multiple classes and keeping that momentum going...

  5. Most challenging moments in Nursing school

    Stephalump replied to Onco_NT's topic in General Students

    My toughest moments have been the times I haven't been able to be there for my kids the way I used to be. I missed my oldest's Veteran's Day concert earlier this year and it was the first special...

  6. Going back to school for a second degree..

    Stephalump replied to Britt2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. Weight gain?

    Stephalump replied to hawksrn2014's topic in General Students

    That's awesome! Congrats! Since I took up running last semester I didn't gain any weight, but I also didn't lose any, which was disappointing. Our school has such shoddy hours we spent way too much...

  8. When to choose a specialty

    Stephalump replied to aliciat22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have no idea either. People ask me what I want to do all the time, and all I feel like I can tell them is what I've discovered I DON'T want to do, and even that isn't

  9. When to choose a specialty

    Stephalump replied to aliciat22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hmm, I don't know! I just know there are so many factors that can play a part in your final destination, who knows where you'll end up? For instance, lots of people start out wanting to do Nicu for...

  10. When to choose a specialty

    Stephalump replied to aliciat22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In a robust job market, people tend to choose after doing clinical rotations in various areas and then make the final decision when it's time to apply for jobs. Nowadays? People seem to still pick...

  11. Going back to school for a second degree..

    Stephalump replied to Britt2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There will most likely not be an pay difference. I've heard of some places in other states that maybe give $0.25 more per hour for a BSN. A BSN will benefit you in the long run, but it's possibly to...

  12. Much needed advice please:)

    Stephalump replied to wchelsea's topic in General Students

    Are you talking about one of the online programs like UT Arlington? That's the only one I've ever heard of needing a partner. That's just because that program caters to licensing people who ate...

  13. Calm my nerves?

    Stephalump replied to mariaberry19's topic in General Students

    My go-tos are yoga, running, hot baths, and wine :) Reading would normally be one as well, but I can't bring myself to do it for pleasure thanks to the guilt of all the nursing reading that haunts me....

  14. RN or MD

    Stephalump replied to ksecatero21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm planning in transitioning to MD after working as an RN for a few years. There aren't any official routes. Just have a bachelors degree (in nursing if you're a nurse) and take your prereqs and mcat...

  15. New nursing1 student in jan- any advice/ suggestions?

    Stephalump replied to spetro's topic in General Students

    I agree! The oldest in our class is 69 years old and the median age is somewhere in the early

  16. Laptop/Tablet

    Stephalump replied to AmandaJoy's topic in General Students

    I have an laptop and an iPad. I use the iPad WAY more but I wouldn't want to be without a computer, either. Quite a few of our online assignments used flash (with isn't compatible with the iPad) and...

  17. Irritated that everyone feels the need to mention they want to help people

    Stephalump replied to Trenbolone Acetate's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is exactly how I felt about the post, but I couldn't quite put it into words.

  18. My grades /:

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

    My opinion on my grades is that they're not very good. Terrible? No. You're sitting right at average. But in order to get into competitive programs, average doesn't cut it. But what's done is done....

  19. Irritated that everyone feels the need to mention they want to help people

    Stephalump replied to Trenbolone Acetate's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I cannot imagine a nurse who doesn't truly enjoy helping people having any sort of satisfaction in the job, because the vast majority of what we do/will do is helping people. And no, not helping...

  20. Any book suggestions for new nursing students???

    Stephalump replied to xxkmpxx's topic in General Students

    I'm a first year and I use it religiously. In my opinion it's best used as a companion throughout nursing school because of the huge volume of material it includes. Too much to really expect to study...

  21. Houston Schools (fast track to RN)

    Stephalump replied to kmwinship's topic in Texas Nursing

    No, no bsn. It's a hybrid ADN that you can complete at an accelerated

  22. Student nurse and Video games.

    Stephalump replied to jazon77's topic in General Students

    Well a thread concerned solely with the idea that nursing school (a path to a career) might interfere with gaming certainly doesn't help any stereotypes out

  23. Calling graduating class of 2014!

    Stephalump replied to Jamaicandol's topic in General Students

    I finished on the 12th. I knew nursing school was going to be difficult but I still don't think that prepared me for the stress level I'd be under for two years! I'm already looking forward to...

  24. Buy or Rent These Books

    Stephalump replied to HenryN.'s topic in General Students

    It seems like you'd end up re-renting those books over and over again, so I'm not sure your actually save any money that way. Über important

  25. Are you an A student. How do you achieve it

    Stephalump replied to joselyne's topic in General Students

    I'm an A student so far. I think organization is supper important, as is stress management. Study-wise, I purposely memorize very little other than lab values, drugs, and things like that. My focus...
