  1. Another slightly silly question re: supplies

    Stephalump replied to RainbowDash's topic in General Students

    I'll be 28 next month, too....but that's another sad thread on it's own I love bright things that make me happy. I bought bright, happy notebooks and folders to go with my bright, happy backpack, and...

  2. Should I become a nurse for the money??

    Stephalump replied to Wot chick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The problem with the idea of become a nurse just for the money is that it's not because it's great money. I could list 10 careers in my sleep who make far more money. Why not pick those jobs? Nursing...

  3. Am I wasting my time going for my ADN?

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

    Hah, whoops! Dos Equis, coming your way!

  4. Would Cheat in an Online Course?

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

    Using the book or notes while taking online classes is not cheating. If your professor wanted to keep you from using resources, he/she would have proctored tests. I think it's awesome that you want to...

  5. Am I wasting my time going for my ADN?

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

    No...we are not. Maybe in the rural areas, but the major metro areas are full of unemployed new

  6. Being an ugly nurse

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

    Well, if I ever need a self esteem boost, I know where to come! My breasts are sagging a bit after having three kids. Will I still be a good nurse???? Y'all can start telling me how awesome I am now....

  7. Why are Nurses so mean to each other?

    Stephalump replied to Dixon, future NP's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'll see your garment drama and raise you a PTO and playgroup. I've never seen anything like it outside of my brother's years in a

  8. One set of scrubs?

    Stephalump replied to MilliePieRN's topic in General Students

    I know a couple of people who only have ore set of scrubs, for financial reasons, I'm sure. If you think you're up to washing every week, I see no harm in it. I know my weaknesses, and I'd wake up at...

  9. Student Clickers?

    Stephalump replied to arbor-vitae's topic in General Students

    It's supposed to be a better gauge of a class's understanding because the voting is anonymous. No being swayed by popular

  10. Student Clickers?

    Stephalump replied to arbor-vitae's topic in General Students

    We had to use them in some of my philosophy classes a few years back. It was kind of a fun way to stay interactive during lecture. We didn't have to buy our own, though. I believe they were loaned...

  11. Why are Nurses so mean to each other?

    Stephalump replied to Dixon, future NP's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, "meanness" is clearly in the eye d the beholder. Sarcastic, blunt, or not, I don't equate those things with being "mean" unless there is a clear intent to degrade someone. The Internet is a...

  12. I have no books and class starts Monday - random rant about textbook monopoly

    Stephalump replied to tenjuna's topic in General Students

    Oh no, I hate that! Check into ebooks. Some apps have free trials for a week or two. If you can find them that way, activate them when you actually need them and pray your books come in. Or you...

  13. Clinical Schedules

    Stephalump replied to AnkleBitten's topic in General Students

    We go once a week for 10-12

  14. Pt's/visitors reading Fifty Shades of Grey???

    Stephalump replied to neverbethesame's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    In March I went on a cruise. As we were leaving port I remembered I had zero new content on my Kindle and quickly went to Amazon and downloaded this trilogy I'd never heard of but were rated as the...

  15. A moment to wallow in self pity.

    Stephalump replied to RainbowDash's topic in General Students

    Fifty dollars for junky scrubs? That's highest robbery. I pay $50 for my Grey's Anatomy

  16. How long do you go to clinicals?

    Stephalump replied to lorarami's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Summer, Fall, Spring? When you put two 8 week summer sessions together, it's actually just as long as a regular semester! Just my guess

  17. What to look for in nursing schools?

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

    I'd find out where the clincals are typically held. I've heard horror stories of places that do peds rotations in daycares and every other rotation in nursing homes. Nursing homes are all well and...

  18. Lone Star Fall 2012 ADN Applicants

    Stephalump replied to kalisefer's topic in Texas Nursing

    I don't know what the heck professional casual wear is! Khakis and loafers and a polo? I own none of the above. So I'll probably just wear

  19. Need to figure out new strategy

    Stephalump replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    I don't think I would read....I really, really don't. The problem with trying to read all of that is ray reading is not studying. If you dedicate every free moment to reading copious amounts, you'll...

  20. Nursing Scrubs: The Material Makes A Difference

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

    The first time I went scrub shopping I rolled my eyes at the giant Grey's Anatomy signs and could not believe people would pay that much for hype. Then I went around the entire store and proceeded to...

  21. Wet Hair Don't Care?

    Stephalump replied to 2BRN123's topic in General Students

    Yes, I think growing it out might be the best solution while you're still in school. Then you can wash it at night and and secure it and it'll be somewhat dryish in the morning but your curls will...

  22. "Why does a nurse have to go to college?"

    Stephalump replied to bookwormom's topic in General Nursing

    Is that a real question? Because that would not lead to a nursing license, which means she would not be employed as a nurse. The real question is why exactly is his rebellion against the organized...

  23. Not really feeling stressed.

    Stephalump replied to ames86's topic in General Students

    I don't know, but I guess you'll find out on test day! :-) I think it's borderline impossible to really gauge how things are going until you see the results of what you've been doing, you know?...

  24. Wet Hair Don't Care?

    Stephalump replied to 2BRN123's topic in General Students

    I'm the same way - mixed ethnicity and lots of spiral curls, and no, there's not such thing as second day hair unless it involves an updo. I would love to have short hair, but I only wash once a week...

  25. Worried about my nursing supplies!?

    Stephalump replied to Randi156's topic in General Students

    Are you in class with a bunch of 12 year olds? It's not like too came to class with a diamond crusted diaphragm - it's just a nice quality stethoscope and bp cuff, and it in no way affects the...
