  1. Passing Med/Surg 2 So happy!!!!

    Stephalump replied to wannabmidwife's topic in General Students

    That's fantastic! Glad you survived and I hope you enjoy your family time over the

  2. Is this a Med Error? I have been kicked from clinical. Help

    Stephalump replied to nursing?s's topic in General Students

    I'd think a med error would involve one of the six rights. It sounds like maybe you didn't follow the narcotics procedure laid out by your school/clinical site, but I can't imagine kicking someone out...

  3. What do nurses do?

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

    Even the things that DO seem exciting become routine after long enough. I have t found much room for boredom in my limited experience (probably due to a never ending to do list) but I wouldn't pursue...

  4. Houston Schools (fast track to RN)

    Stephalump replied to kmwinship's topic in Texas Nursing

    Schools like UT and UTMB have accelerated BSN programs as does Lone Star College System, but you aren't automatically accepted. The spots are competitive, even more competitive than the traditional...

  5. To have a baby or not to have a baby

    Stephalump replied to MamaD0719's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Eh, I'd do it. If you're just starting prereqs then you have a long haul in front of you and it sounds like you aren't really interested in the idea of waiting until you're already an RN. And as...

  6. PO medicine administration

    Stephalump replied to mugs's topic in General Students

    The skill I'm not sure I'll ever get the hang of is opening packages! I can barely open band aids at home for my kids without scissors,much less open all kinds of weird things with patients and my...

  7. Exhausted and Frustrated

    Stephalump replied to gathrightRN2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm exactly the same way! The busier I am, the better off I am. I don't need unlimited time to procrastinate or things will get

  8. Has anyone formed a study group for your class?

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

    I'm in a study group. We waited until about the third week to get started so we had time to ask around and invite people. I know it can be tempting to just get anyone who's willing, but it gave me...

  9. Light at the end of the tunnel

    Stephalump replied to francoml's topic in General Students

    Yes! Three more tests and a sim lab and I'm a free woman headed to Disney

  10. Is a BSN worthy? Please read , I really need an opinion!!

    Stephalump replied to arnurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Same school. Just gave their nursing program a different name as a

  11. Is a BSN worthy? Please read , I really need an opinion!!

    Stephalump replied to arnurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, it isn't worth it to go $85k into debt for the equivalent to a Devry nursing degree when there are a plethora of cheaper BSN programs in the area that will cost a quarter of that. AND take two...

  12. Nursing school and kids? HELP!

    Stephalump replied to miidgett411's topic in General Students

    That's awesome! We had something called CampWannaWin at the beginning of the first semester and they did a lot of the same and held a meeting for our families so they could hear how much we need...

  13. Can a teacher do this?

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

    Haha! I have 38 other nursing classmates who would LOVE that as well. Keep dreaming. Every time they do a kindness and tell us "Know this for the test" we practically throw a parade in the hallways....

  14. understanding fluid and electrolytes lecture

    Stephalump replied to yvonne131321's topic in General Students

    I really liked reading Fluid and Electrolytes Made Incredibly Easy! Definitely recommend

  15. No-one to a Someone.

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

    I have no idea if you have what it takes to get through nursing school and nursing as a career. I agree with some of the others that wanting something isn't necessarily enough. We all have a certain...

  16. Did you pick your school by it's NCLEX pass rate?

    Stephalump replied to Kimynurse's topic in General Students

    I looked at NCLEX pass rate AND attrition rate. A 100% pass rate is great but it doesn't necessarily help me if I only have a 20% chance of actually graduating and taking the NCLEX. My program has a...

  17. Why do some colleges have waitlists and others dont?

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

    I think it's often just a sign of the school's policy. There aren't many wait lists in my area. You get in or you don't. There's usually an alternate list of some sort in case accepted students...

  18. Can a teacher do this?

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

    Exactly. The OP cannot do anything about a teacher who doesn't cover all the material in lecture. I cannot do anything about a teacher who doesn't cover everything in lecture. Yes, they CAN do that....

  19. Fair grading

    Stephalump replied to Ldla1234's topic in General Students

    My professors have never actually thrown a question out. Every test they do decide to accept a couple extra answers for a question or two, and once they did accept all answers to a question, but it...

  20. Will I get in trouble ? ? ?

    Stephalump replied to Congababe13's topic in General Students

    So happy for you! I think you handled yourself wonderfully and I'm glad all ended well

  21. Several things are making me consider dropping nursing school

    Stephalump replied to samrusrn's topic in General Students

    Pa schools are super competitive as I'm sure you know, so yes, bad grades are going to hurt, but dropping out of NS isn't going to get you there either. I understand the desire to do something you...

  22. My predicament

    Stephalump replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    If get out now before it would be an even bigger waste of time. It would be a real shame to have your GPA blown so badly you can't actually finish pursuing your dreams, you know? Not to mention the...

  23. Several things are making me consider dropping nursing school

    Stephalump replied to samrusrn's topic in General Students

    If you were to drop out what exactly would you do? If med school is out, an MSN is out, and PA school is out as

  24. Will I get in trouble ? ? ?

    Stephalump replied to Congababe13's topic in General Students

    I'm so sorry OP. that must have been quite a blow There's almost nothing worse you can spin nursing school than to break hospital policy. I think they'd rather you break school policy than have the...

  25. Failing in Pre-Nursing Course

    Stephalump replied to bs_ing86's topic in General Students

    Anything can happen, but for now I wouldn't worry about nursing school I'd worry about learning to succeed in college. There's no shame in struggling, but I thnk the best thing for you to do would be...
