  1. The "Nursing Games" claims it's first victims...

    Stephalump replied to Klimpys's topic in General Students

    Wow. That's rough! I agree that math is super important and it needs to be grasped early on, but my program really works hard to make sure we all pass. We have three tries at the test and mandatory...

  2. just need someone to have my back

    Stephalump replied to deltagal1230's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    :-/ That sucks. Kind of a let down from how great you were doing before, I'm sure. Did you look at why you missed questions? Did you not know the material? Going back and changing answers? Not...

  3. What to label your dividers?

    Stephalump replied to ko115's topic in General Students

    I just use one binder per semester and divide it up by the tripod of our tests. Our first test was on " The Role of the Nurse" so that's what the header is. Then "Biopsychosocial" etc. I wouldn't...

  4. First quiz

    Stephalump replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    Oh no! I'm sure that's disappointing. I always give myself leeway for the first quiz/test. You don't really know what to expect until you've already taken one by that particular

  5. What do you wish you had studied/learned more?

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

    Everything in A&P! I think I learned a pretty good amount but I'm one of the few people in the class who had a big time gap between taking it and entering nursing school and it shows. It's been...

  6. Help!! PICO question:patient abuse

    Stephalump replied to MaryCross021's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Her pointreally is still valid. You're not going to find good research on the topic. It would most likely be historical due to the nature of the issue. How would you set up an unbiased rct for that...

  7. Help!! PICO question:patient abuse

    Stephalump replied to MaryCross021's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hey, we're all here learning ? So you're trying to figure out if more patient discharge education will somehow reduce the incidence of elderly abuse? More abuse once they get

  8. Part I: Nursing school isn't hard... ;)

    Stephalump replied to adrikf's topic in General Students

    Eh, it's all subjective. I didn't think organic chemistry was hard. I didn't think calculus was hard. I think learning to be a nurse is hard. There's more too it than book learnin' and theory - you...

  9. Totally overwhelmed

    Stephalump replied to nerfnurse's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Wow, it sounds like you're under a ton of stress right now. I second finding a counselor to speak to. I was in a similar situation not long ago. I was supposed to start nursing school, my husband...

  10. Desparate for advice...or just give up?

    Stephalump replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would take your prereqs slowly and reassess where you stand as time goes on. Insurance companies won't be able to exclude you for preexisting conditions (and many won't as of now) but they can...

  11. Help!! PICO question:patient abuse

    Stephalump replied to MaryCross021's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm confused. Isn't the intervention what you would do to the patient vs the comparison which would be an alternative? I don't think abusing a pt is considered an intervention, which is why you can't...

  12. Question on giving a full bed bath

    Stephalump replied to dsf43's topic in General Students

    I think because you can't be 100% sure of what fluids you'll come in contact with the standard precaution is to just go ahead and wear gloves. If you're in class it's fine to go ahead without I'm...

  13. Please help! I am kind of torn, nursing or sonography

    Stephalump replied to dalman97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The nursing job market sucks right now. If you look around the site a bit, you'll find new grads in nursing are struggling to find jobs. There's a lot of networking and luck involved in the job hunt...

  14. 16 year old in the ADN nursing program, now they're asking me to withdraw? :

    Stephalump replied to xAngel's topic in General Students

    While I agree that is was irresponsible to accept you and then remove you from the program, odds are they had good intentions. Clincal sites have different rules and schools are guests in their...

  15. Favorite Words

    Stephalump replied to Aimee2013's topic in General Students

    I've always like anaphylaxis.

  16. Fundamentals & using an alternative base source? Eliminating Potter & Perry.

    Stephalump replied to TCool774's topic in General Students

    I don't think the solution to failing a test due to not reading the material is to not read the material. Review books are great, but they hit the high notes, not everything. You are absolutely going...

  17. Weight gain?

    Stephalump replied to hawksrn2014's topic in General Students

    It's an audio book system from Amazon. You can buy audio review books and listen to them on your mp3

  18. What was the first thing to go?

    Stephalump posted a topic in General Students

    So the semester starts and you have to read 145 chapters a night for the 2,000 question tests your professors give every 3 days. You can no longer do it all, so what do you let go of first? Sleep?...

  19. To speak or not in class

    Stephalump replied to edatri's topic in General Students

    Everything in moderation. Teachers appreciate interaction, but I've heard students being asked to tone it down if they are answering EVERY question or leading the lecture down rabbit trails with 5...

  20. The rolling backpack debate

    Stephalump replied to winterlights08's topic in General Students

    I don't bring my books to class, so I just have a shoulder bag for my notebooks. I probably will be investing in a rolling bag for clincals and studying other places than home, though. Since I'm in an...

  21. How Do You Get Motivated?

    Stephalump posted a topic in General Students

    I'm tired. I get to school at 8am, study until 10am, class from 10-3:30, home to cook, clean, and be mommy, and then it's time for MORE studying. By the time 8:30 rolls around and I throw the kids in...

  22. Aural learning style and a bad teacher

    Stephalump replied to dayanara's topic in General Students

    I'm of the aural (auditory...I have no idea why "aural" is a thing) as well, but there's no way our professors could possibly talk about everything no matter how much they loved to lecture. You have...

  23. How Do You Get Motivated?

    Stephalump replied to Stephalump's topic in General Students

    So it looks like I should plan a vacation, print out a giant picture of the location, tape it on a student loan statement and hang it on the wall in a diploma frame to remind me of graduation and...

  24. How Do You Get Motivated?

    Stephalump replied to Stephalump's topic in General Students

    Wow, I'm not even a single mom and I'm beat...I don't blame you for having a complete break-down. But sometimes a break down is good...clears the brain a little

  25. How Do You Get Motivated?

    Stephalump replied to Stephalump's topic in General Students

    I haven't tried taking an entire day off. I was trying to study every day so I wouldn't be stuck doing marathon days, but I'm thinking I'm screwing myself more than I'm helping. I think I'm going to...
