  1. Getting an AD in Allied Health Science

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

    That makes more sense!

  2. Getting an AD in Allied Health Science

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

    What makes it accelerated if it's 4 years

  3. Getting an AD in Allied Health Science

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

    I've never heard of an accelerated nursing program for someone with an associates degree. They're usually for bachelor's degree students. Beware of schools pushing those useless Allied Health degrees...

  4. Difference of integrated and block curriculum

    Stephalump replied to nanicy123's topic in General Students

    Block: Each area of nursing is broken up into separate courses. You'll take a medical/surgical class, a maternal class, a mental health class, a nursing fundamentals class, and so on and so forth....

  5. How do you manage to get to work in snow storms ?

    Stephalump replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know, but I think people on TV use special tires and chains and 4 wheel drive and salt and shovels. I'm no help...I'm just trying to survive the 95 degree weather. If there was a real snow...

  6. general question

    Stephalump replied to studentrn2014's topic in General Students

    People excel in different areas - just do your best. :) We watched videos on procedures during our first few weeks and we were supposed to be able to get up and replicate them afterward. Um, no. I...

  7. Do you keep your personal life private while in nursing school?

    Stephalump replied to Kadambari's topic in General Students

    Uh, that is a whole other level of "sharing." when I say I'm a open book, I mean I talk about my kids and husband and life and past. Not that I share "myself" with married students or my morning wake...

  8. Nurses Calling Patients "Jerks"

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

    I was raised to believe that name calling (even something as tame as "jerk") is not cool and I sill believe that, although I reserve the right to feel any way I want about someone and if I need to...

  9. Instructor teaching style

    Stephalump replied to PirateArrrNnnn's topic in General Students

    Is this going on IN class or at home? You are getting actual lectures as well, aren't you? If so, sounds about right! We have 5 hours or lecture a week and an hour of lab. We spend our time out of...

  10. New Grad applicant walked on a unit today...

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

    The way I see it, by "breaking the mold" you're taking a gamble. Some people like the mold. Some people like mold breakers. You gambled and lost. You can either try again and hope you impress someone...

  11. Energy drinks and teens coming to ER with chest pain

    Stephalump replied to mt3's topic in Emergency

    My adrenal glands hurt just from reading that. The things we put into our bodies! The only time I've ever had an energy drink is with vodka. Because it was there. It takes like cough syrup and I...

  12. Feeling overwhelmed..

    Stephalump replied to Scrubs_girl's topic in General Students

    If you're working steadily, you're getting things done, I promise. The workload IS manageable or no one would ever graduate from your program. Are you breaking up your assignments into pieces in your...

  13. Feeling overwhelmed..

    Stephalump replied to Scrubs_girl's topic in General Students

    Then a Netflix night is definitely needed! No reason to feel guilty for taking a break. Without a break you'll lose your mind, and your work tends to show that. Do you have a good planner? Break...

  14. There is always one..

    Stephalump replied to wbrown06's topic in General Students

    Whaaaat? No way would I do that. I'd go to the professor FIRST. It's your professor's job to keep lecture on track, and if he/she is made aware that people find the student disruptive, it's his or...

  15. So much for address taken into consideration

    Stephalump replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    Wow. That is completely insane. I've heard of schools that send their students out far, but I didn't realize it could be THAT far. Just remember, it'll be a challenge, but it's TEMPORARY. If all...

  16. Calling graduating class of 2014!

    Stephalump replied to Jamaicandol's topic in General Students

    Represent from Tejas! I'm 1/84th of the way to graduation and it feels so good

  17. Do you keep your personal life private while in nursing school?

    Stephalump replied to Kadambari's topic in General Students

    I am EXTREMELY jealous of childless people in school! I'm also jealous of filthy rich people and people who are already finished with school and the Victorias Secret Angels and anyone who has ever...

  18. There is always one..

    Stephalump replied to wbrown06's topic in General Students

    Ugggg, there IS always one. And while that person is usually lovely and a great person, I can't help but want to shove my lab coat down their throat to make them shut up so we can move

  19. Missed the First Lab!

    Stephalump replied to blurredyearning's topic in General Students

    Oh no! Every new student's nightmare. I would definitely go see your instructor privately and discuss making some sense of the schedule and then NEVER miss another lab this semester. Time to put on...

  20. Any white middle aged travel nurses out there?

    Stephalump replied to bostonbakednurse's topic in Travel

    I think it means "white" is not seen as a minority, while "black" is, so when I ask if there are any black travel nurses people assume my intent. I'm trying to figure out if I'm alone. If I were to...

  21. Do you keep your personal life private while in nursing school?

    Stephalump replied to Kadambari's topic in General Students

    Nope. I'm an open book.

  22. First day of Nursing School..

    Stephalump replied to dsf43's topic in General Students

    I started today! I was mostly just desperate to get the syllabus so I'd know what to expect! I've been filling in my UnCalendar all evening and wow...I'm going to be insanely busy. I wish I was as...

  23. How Far do you want to go in your Nursing Education?

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

    One of my friends is a forensic nurse. Basically, she became one because that was the only job she could get after gradation. She works at a prison hospital in a psych unit that's responsible for...

  24. Another slightly silly question re: supplies

    Stephalump replied to RainbowDash's topic in General Students

    We were told to come to class in business casual. I honesty don't even know what that would look like. Loafers and polos come to mind, neither of which exist in my closet. So, tomorrow I'll be...

  25. Lone Star Fall 2012 ADN Applicants

    Stephalump replied to kalisefer's topic in Texas Nursing

    I just realized I have no clue what to take to school tomorrow.... And now I just realized our teacher sent out an email telling us what to bring, so never
