  1. Getting Financial Aid for A.S in Nursing and the 150% rule:earned AA degree already

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

    It's actually not a new rule. The government has long had that rule to avoid paying for career students, but many schools let it slide. Now that their purse strings are tight they're demanding schools...

  2. Why do students voluntarily drop out of nursing school?

    Stephalump replied to pink0605's topic in General Students

    Well, you asked a question and got answers to the question...I'm a chronic skimmer so I probably didn't pick up on the basic premise that you're trying to stay above the negativity. Also, yes I'm very...

  3. Whats so Hard about Nursing School and the profession?

    Stephalump replied to whipwreck82's topic in General Students

    I totally agree with this. Burn out can come from caring too MUCH. Or people get into the profession because the have dreams of saving the world one pt at a time and have a rude awakening when they...

  4. Why do students voluntarily drop out of nursing school?

    Stephalump replied to pink0605's topic in General Students

    Knowing nursing school will be stressful is in no way the same as actually living with the stress for months and months on end. It's hard to REALLY see the impact on your life until you're in the...

  5. Question about the 6 rights of medication administration?

    Stephalump replied to Lucidity's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I found the question a bit odd, too. It's possible it was just intended to get you thinking about the possible consequences of each medication error. There wasn't necessarily some overarching take...

  6. How do I do prep work for a SIM lab that I have to go to on Monday?

    Stephalump replied to Samian Q's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks! It can't hurt to look stuff up! The more prepared you feel, the more comfortable you'll

  7. How do I do prep work for a SIM lab that I have to go to on Monday?

    Stephalump replied to Samian Q's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The idea is not to prepare, but for it to be more like you're a real nurse in a real hospital. Just do what you would normally do. If this is your first SIM, odds are there will be a lot about...

  8. readings

    Stephalump replied to bbailey305's topic in General Students

    I try to resd everything but that rarely happens. We have a list of objective so I try to follow those and focus on reading related to the power points. If they spent 10 powerpoints on one subject, I...

  9. A Success and Failure

    Stephalump replied to PedsHopeful's topic in General Students

    Um, if the school adheres to that standard, it clearly is an acceptable

  10. BSN program

    Stephalump replied to Mrs.YayaLozada's topic in General Students

    It's very, very time consuming. Everyone is different so somethings you'll find to be easy to understand and some you'll struggle with. But you will always be busy with long reading assignments,...

  11. Question about the 6 rights of medication administration?

    Stephalump replied to Lucidity's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'd go with documentation. All four have the potential to start the fatality ball rolling, but documentation errors are more removed. You or someone else can catch and correct a doc error. Once you...

  12. Words of encouragement

    Stephalump replied to Jennybrie's topic in General Students

    Thank you for the inspiration! I've had a few bad days so far this semester, but overall I'm loving the experience and more passionate about nursing every day. This is an awesome journey to be

  13. Why do they give so much ridiculous, insignificant homework?????

    Stephalump replied to Overwhelmed1026's topic in General Students

    So far ipI haven't run across anything I've found to be totally insignificant. In other courses I've struggled with that, though. I'm in college, not elementary school and I expect to be treated as...

  14. Question about giving report

    Stephalump replied to Crazed's topic in General Students

    I feel sorry for all the patients she'll be waking up to ask if they're pain is ok. If it were me in the hospital? I'd request a new nurse for

  15. Diagnosed with MS recently, right after starting back school to becomie a nurse

    Stephalump replied to bribri03's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It might be hard to get through school and not end up being able to work, but I think it would be worse to not go to school and have zero problems for years and years when you could have been living...

  16. Nursing Diagnosis in PRIORITY ORDER???

    Stephalump replied to emlam's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    We're taught the same thing...there isn't an AEB for a risk because there is no evidence of something that hasn't happened

  17. Will I fail clinical for an unexcused absence?

    Stephalump replied to strawberryluv's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you talked to her and she said you can make it up later and didn't say anything about failing you, I wouldn't worry about it. Do your professors frequently kick people out for stuff like that?...

  18. I'm 23 and doing my pre-reqs...wondering...

    Stephalump replied to taraer1206's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my class of 40, almost everyone is 30+. You're a young in

  19. 1st post and 5th week of nursing school. HELP!

    Stephalump replied to tidwella980's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You helped me with that info as well! You're a gift, Esme!

  20. Vital Sign Failer.

    Stephalump replied to Hopestobe's topic in General Students

    I'm curious t know what your instructor expects you to do now that you've failed. Did you ask for suggestions on how to improve? Obviously the key is PRACTICE, but do they have open lab? One on one...

  21. Help :'( I'm lost on the steps I need to take to go into med school.

    Stephalump replied to brie_1994's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    She'd be eaten

  22. SIM Lab Help

    Stephalump replied to RNbethy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm having the same problem. I am AWFUL in sim lab. Too many people, to unfamiliar of a scenario and just bleh. Clinicals are no big deal, lectures are fine, but Sim lab...UGH. I waked in today as the...

  23. Help :'( I'm lost on the steps I need to take to go into med school.

    Stephalump replied to brie_1994's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm all for doing CNA work. Working in some sort of patient care job actually DOES help your med school application. It shows commitment to and knowledge of the field. And, frankly, it seems like...

  24. A few thoughts on Nursing School.

    Stephalump replied to ShineyNickelRN's topic in General Students

    Good grief. The op was just sharing her point of view. If you've found otherwise, congrats. I'm sure there are variables. It takes more work to make an A than a B. People handle various amounts of...

  25. They make nursing school much harder than it needs to be

    Stephalump replied to Anoetos's topic in General Students

    I quite enjoy my "care bear" school as well. Don't get me wrong, we have copious amounts of reading, endless assignments, and difficult testing, the program is competitive, and we have a great...
