  3. Ever work with people who talk about church all the time?

    Stephalump replied to Nola009's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There's a couple at my workplace that LOVE church. It's they're hobby, which is cool. But I really don't think they've considered that it isn't everyone else's cup of tea. They invited the entire...

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

    I had 1, 4, and 9 year olds when I started nursing school, and we all survived! It was chaotic at times and I missed so much when I was working FT and in the school - it was really and truly...

  6. Ever work with people who talk about church all the time?

    Stephalump replied to Nola009's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't mind when people talk about church - usually it's because it's a HUGE part of their life and they don't even think twice about it. I think they also assume I love church just as much....

  7. Hey so young nurses, are we really making "that much"?

    Stephalump replied to tarotale's topic in General Nursing

    Also, you never know how much money people make based on their spending. For most people, a BMW just means they aren't afraid of debt - that could be because they're in great financial shape, or...

  8. Hey so young nurses, are we really making "that much"?

    Stephalump replied to tarotale's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in the Houston area, so cost of living is low and I'm making $30/hr base pay doing psych as a new grad. I think whether or not that's a lot of money is relative to where you come from. My husband...

  9. Advice on schooling for psych np

    Stephalump replied to future student's topic in Psychiatric

  12. How many people took a Cna class at a for profit school?

    Stephalump replied to 5ummer's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That isn't even necessary here. Even PCTs are just CNAs with extra training that hospitals will give you if you need it. I started to mention it, but it turned out she's already given them all their...

  13. How many people took a Cna class at a for profit school?

    Stephalump replied to 5ummer's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yes, I'm sure. ? The theory for the length of time was that she also learned phlebotomy, ekgs, and I don't remember what else. It's called a "Patient Care Technician Diploma

  14. Finally going back to college and I have a question.

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

    You can take the nclex once you graduate nursing school. If you don't go to nursing school, you can't do clinicals or nursing coursework or graduate or take the nclex or work at a hospital as a nurse....

    Stephalump replied to 5ummer's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The girl who used to nanny for me is currently in a CNA program at a for-profit school. 9 months long and 30k. I almost cried when she told me. Yours is cheap and quick and you learn almost...

  16. personality test for job interview

    Stephalump replied to BrendaH84's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    When I first started applying for jobs, I assumed there was a lying factor in there, which is why I tried to be honest. But when I retook it after my 6 months blacklist and lied my butt off, I passed...

  17. Fake call outs irritate me

    Stephalump replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Uh yes, I'd say that's a little extreme, to the point where I'd probably call in MORE, not less, just to be safe. I'm sick right now. Will I still feel too sick to go into work in 12 hours? Dunno, so...

  18. PVT New Trick?

    Stephalump replied to FlorCenicerosTorre's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    75 questions is the minimum. 28 is impossible. Please don't stress over tricks. You'll find out

  19. Desperately Need ADVICE!!

    Stephalump replied to Kermie90's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Convincing a manager to give you a chance at ER after only being in psych can be tough. But convincing a manager to hire you after not working as an RN at all for a year wouldn't be any better. Take...

  20. Working as an ADN RN while attending school for a BSN

    Stephalump replied to Cronin's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Almost all nursing jobs are 3 days a week, no? And people LOVE weekend

  21. personality test for job interview

    Stephalump replied to BrendaH84's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The first time I applied to MD Anderson, I failed their personality test and was banned from applying to any jobs there for 6 months. ? I learned my lesson...they don't want honesty. They want what...

  22. Fake call outs irritate me

    Stephalump replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No extra holiday pay? I'd be hard-pressed to work a holiday, ever. We get straight time if we aren't scheduled (I enjoyed getting paid to lie around at home yesterday!) and double time if we work....

  23. Fake call outs irritate me

    Stephalump replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It bothers me to no end when people call in on holidays and we're guaranteed to be short staffed. At my last job, we were great about picking up holidays and showing up, but we would always end up...

  24. Psychiatric Nursing Assistants

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

    I'm not a PNA, but I spend a lot of time with them ? The 11-7 shift at my facility is pretty dull. Most patients are less psychotic at night and are sleeping or up preoccupied and pacing, so the PNAs...

    Stephalump replied to scarletta10's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It has nothing to do with it. You'll find out soon! Try to relax and do some things you enjoy...stressing and guessing won't change your
