  1. My patients would be horrified...

    Stephalump replied to Kitkat1212's topic in General Students

    You're barely 18! There's nothing weird about liking younger geared entertainment ?. You are young. But even if you were 60...nothing weird about it. Just do

  2. Mental health

    Stephalump replied to Ackeem's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Just as an example... A patient serenaded me for 10 minutes in the hall yesterday, singing a song he believed was stolen from him. Something about his seriousness for so long REALLY had me struggling...

  3. Mental health

    Stephalump replied to Ackeem's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Finding a clinical experience humorous is completely different than choosing a specialty just because the patients symptoms are hilarious to you. I'm a wild child. I have a good ol' time at work, and...

  4. Going "Above and Beyond" UGH

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

    Maybe I'll start diagnosing patients and prescribing medications. That would be above and beyond,

  5. Going "Above and Beyond" UGH

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

    Maybe if admin took their own advice and went above and beyond with staffing, I'd have more time to do my own aboving and beyonding. Garbage. Rip them all down and plaster their office with

  6. Why did you become a nurse?

    Stephalump replied to Valerie99's topic in General Nursing

    It's my true story

  7. which is more profitable: OT or side PRN?

    Stephalump replied to tarotale's topic in General Nursing

    At my old hospital, it was way more profitable to pick up OT. We could pick to shifts with $200 shift bonuses and once you added in overtime the nurses were making $600/shift as new grads. But the...

  8. Mental health

    Stephalump replied to Ackeem's topic in Health, Stress Management

    We had to attend a group session in school as well. Definitely an interesting experience. I feel like I got to see a lot more things as a student when it was our job to experience as much as possible,...

  9. Mental health

    Stephalump replied to Ackeem's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I don't believe for one second that you truly empathize with these patients. Sure, maybe you feel sorry for them, but if you truly invested emotional energy into walking for a day, a moment, in their...

  10. Mental health

    Stephalump replied to Ackeem's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Not sure if

  11. Question; orientation went great except...

    Stephalump replied to Bjarte's topic in General Students

    I agree. If a school can't be bothered to supply uniforms that are appropriate for EVERYone, they need to let students purchase their own within parameters. Totally unprofessional to attempt to have...

  12. New Grad Terrell State Hospital

    Stephalump replied to Sniper06's topic in Psychiatric

    Hey, no knowledge of that site, but I just wanted to say congrats on your

  13. I'm transferring with less than a year until I graduate.... Am I crazy?!

    Stephalump replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    That isn't what they want. No one cares about your bridge work - it's all fluff. They want to know that your degree where you learned to be a nurse is up to standard. You can play the semantics game...

  14. Someone please explain

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

    I can see why you could argue the case IF a physics class was required. But without taking a class? I don't think that makes any

  15. Someone please explain

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

    I cannot think of one good reason to test physics, seriously. Not

  16. Are they doing away with the ASN programs?

    Stephalump replied to ac9390's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's definitely easy to bridge right now, but that doesn't negate the difficulty and let-down that the time in between can be. Everyone from my ADN program is either starting or waiting to start bsn...

  17. Nursing is a gift

    Stephalump replied to Erusso's topic in General Students

    I'm glad you have the passion for nursing. Hopefully it gets you through the tough times and radiates from you in the best times. I have to agree though...nursing isn't a religious calling. It's a...

  18. Nursing is a gift

    Stephalump replied to Erusso's topic in General Students

    I've yet to meet an awful person who's a great nurse. Adequate? Sure. Keep patients alive? Yeah. But a great nurse, in my opinion, is more than that. I think that goes for anyone in a human-centered...

  19. I'm transferring with less than a year until I graduate.... Am I crazy?!

    Stephalump replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    Transferring doesn't make you a quitter. Quitting makes you a quitter, and that's only a bad thing some of the time. If you're happy and still on the path you want to be on, CONGRATULATIONS! That's...

  20. Where O' Where are the wise ones?

    Stephalump replied to RNIBCLC's topic in General Nursing

    What in the world? Is there a strike I don't know

  21. More Examples of posting on Facebook and getting fired

    Stephalump replied to RNIBCLC's topic in General Nursing

    It would be a non-issue if people would learn to keep work and their personal lives separate. I can say all the awful things I want on my Facebook, and guess what? Not one person who works there will...

  22. The LAST weekend :-)

    Stephalump replied to 16mm's topic in General Students

    Goooood

  23. Tips for Surviving the 1st Semester of Nursing School

    Stephalump replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Students

    I don't really know much about it's photo storage options. I just know my iPad version keeps trying to upload all my photos and I keep telling it no ? Yes, it's for wired processed documents, PDFs,...

  24. MSN Online - USA or UF?

    Stephalump replied to CheezheadFLRN's topic in Psychiatric

    RN543, thank you for all the information! I've been planning on applying to USA to start next year, hopefully. Good to know what's

  25. Almost Done - Except Sick

    Stephalump replied to bagface's topic in General Students

    I don't think you're being unreasonable fighting it. Graduating is definitely worth fighting for! But remember...the rule is that you can only miss 16 hours. It isn't "You can only miss 16 hours...
