  1. Is this insane?

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

    I think that's a good idea. Regardless of how easy you find certain subjects they still require time and energy, and each of us only have so much. I don't find the material in nursing school to be...

  2. Posting your Exam Grades on Facebook

    Stephalump replied to Kateoh82's topic in General Students

    I don't post my grades. It doesn't bother me if anyone else does, and I don't particularly see anything wrong with it. Sure, there are obnoxiously cocky people out there but it transcends far beyond...

  3. Forced wearing of nursing cap.

    Stephalump replied to onetiredstudent's topic in General Students

    I'm already planning on wearing the white dress and a cap for pinning and very excited. It does seem a bit odd to require it. I don't see why it's imperative that everyone look identical down to the...

  4. Is this insane?

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

    No, I wouldn't do it, I don't think. I wouldn't trade high grades for speed for fear I'd be rushing toward a NS denial letter. But of course, everyone is different If you have tons of study time...

  5. Husband rant...kinda long.

    Stephalump replied to jamieekins's topic in General Students

    My house is absolute chaos since I went back to school. My husband is a bit of a "free bird" while I'm anal enough for the both of us Teamwork is definitely key. But I think the absolute most...

  6. Stress Free Finals!!!

    Stephalump replied to rubato's topic in General Students

    Well, I had to make an 82% on the final to make an A in the course and I made an 82% exactly. Mission

  7. Debt.

    Stephalump replied to GeekUSA's topic in General Students

    Well I think it really depends. If people in your area are having a hard time finding jobs with an ADN you may regret that path. Being in an RN-bsn program doesn't replace work experience and work...

  8. SHOES!

    Stephalump replied to ATerzoLPN2RN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I don't know...I don't think I care that I won't wear my white nursing shoes after nursing school. After two years of use, I don't think I'd be crying over having to go buy new, more fashionable...

  9. Planning "My Space" for Nursing School

    Stephalump replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Students

    Well my recommendation would actually be to go study elsewhere. Having a home office doesn't actually reduce distraction. It just increases space and the ability to be organized. I have an office at...

  10. Stress Free Finals!!!

    Stephalump replied to rubato's topic in General Students

    That is honestly one of the next feelings...knowing you aren't "on the edge." I have a friend who's average is only 0.6 points above failing, and his stress level is through the roof for finals....

  11. Finals week!

    Stephalump replied to Julesmama28's topic in General Students

    Good luck this week! We had our lab finals last week (made a 98% on written and 93% on skills) and our Hesi today (96% but oh my goodness...I thought I was going to fail!) and Wednesday is my...

  12. Need Direct Entry to MSN with a Communications degree

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

    Delete!

  13. Need Direct Entry to MSN with a Communications degree

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

    Well, my thoughts are basically...ain't gonna happen. I've never heard of a cheap DEMSN. I've never heard of an online DEMSN. And I've never heard of one that doesn't actually expect you to take...

  14. Weeding out?

    Stephalump replied to wantccu's topic in General Students

    It really depends on the school. Our sister program is a weeding out PROGRAM. Instructors wielding the axe from beginning to end. Mine? Not so much. The only people we've lost left by choice, not for...

  15. Nursing Career Questions

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

    It absolutely cannot hurt to become a CNA. Some schools require it, others look more favorably upon it, and it would definitely be a huge benefit once you start nursing school. Whether or not you...

  16. Getting ready to apply to a bunch of schools....pregnant :/

    Stephalump replied to Hibbzem17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't done it. I was set to enter nursing school until I got pregnant and realized I'd be starting with a four month old. Could I have done it? Maybe. Do I wish I did instead of starting a year...

  17. Feeling really down in the dumps and friend-less in nursing school...advice needed

    Stephalump replied to willow298's topic in General Students

    I completely agree with this post. I do not know the situation, but I'd still be willing to bet money that an entire class isn't against you purely because of your grades. It wouldn't surprise me if...

  18. What classes are you taking in spring

    Stephalump replied to Kimynurse's topic in General Students

    Wow. They're really breaking down creative boundaries

  19. Winter Break

    Stephalump replied to NICUmiiki's topic in General Students

    Sweet! . If you go to Mickey Very Merry Christmas Party (or something like that) all the characters are decked out and there's unlimited hot chocolate and cookies! But yes, no matter what someone's...

  20. A clean room. A clean home. A clean person.

  21. What classes are you taking in spring

    Stephalump replied to Kimynurse's topic in General Students

    I'm in an integrated program, so our class titles aren't very interesting. Basically I'm taking level 2 lecture, level 2 lab, and of course

  22. Nursing Student needing ADVICE!

    Stephalump replied to sarahsather's topic in General Students

    Dude, I have an entire HOUSE to study in and I go to the library to study. Rather than trying to control my family into absolute silence and stressing myself out over it, it's much easier to just go...

  23. Winter Break

    Stephalump replied to NICUmiiki's topic in General Students

    Yes! Of gladly double my naps but 2x0 is still zero, and my kids plan on keeping it that way. :) Maybe I'll see you at Disney! () I've never been during Christmas so I'm e views to see all the...

  24. Winter Break

    Stephalump replied to NICUmiiki's topic in General Students

    After my last final I'm road tripping to Disney World with mi familia. That's going to eat up 10 days of my break. Then I'll be racing around getting ready for Christmas. I have a crazy mess of a...

  25. Music while studying / textbook readings?

    Stephalump replied to sarahsather's topic in General Students

    No, no music. I'm not really capable of keeping it in the background of my brain...whatever is going on in the song is probably WAY more interesting than whatever I'm
