  2. How much do you bring home a week? New Grads in NC.. also do you get alot of overtime

    Stephalump replied to ONCRN2017's topic in General Students

    Sometimes I wonder where people get the idea that nursing = rich. I mean, I know people who make good money, but it's either after years of experience or they work multiple hours/lots of overtime. My...

    Stephalump replied to bsartor's topic in General Students

    Congratulations!!!!!!

  4. Accelerated programs & GPA

    Stephalump replied to hopefullRN11's topic in General Students

    That's life, unfortunately. Our past affects our future. Might as well stop running ? Programs are all so different with differing levels of competitiveness, it's hard for me to give you odds or...

  5. redirecting to old threads

    Stephalump replied to OnlinePersona's topic in General Nursing

    If I direct someone to an old thread, it's not passive aggressive behavior - I'm just simply providing the OP with more answers, usually to a question I either don't have the answer to, or a question...

  6. Failing Clinical Options

    Stephalump replied to skhy's topic in General Students

    Sounds like it's time to appeal! I helped a friend who was failing right before graduation appeal....she had an A during her midterm eval, and then 8 days before pinning they called her in and told...

  7. Just curious..what color is your stethoscope?

    Stephalump replied to Bubbly26's topic in General Students

    Pink!

  8. Most depressed I've ever been during nursing school

    Stephalump replied to stephen1219's topic in General Students

    I was horribly depressed during my last semester of nursing school. Everyone was worried about me. Wouldn't come to class, barely studying, calling in to work. I was leaving my life for the past few...

  9. Rn nclex.....failed 4th time

    Stephalump replied to keiannurse04's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Different rules in different states. In Texas you can take it as many times as you want within 4 years of graduating. Just have to wait 45 days in

  10. Coming To the Dark Side

    Stephalump replied to Stephalump's topic in Psychiatric

    I've never been one to choose the easy road ?. And

  11. ITT Tech nursing program

    Stephalump replied to unsure45's topic in General Students

    The only advice I can give you is to hold on and graduate no matter what it takes! Or you'll be broke, heavily in debt, jobless, and without any chance of transferring anywhere

  12. "If you're not doing anything..."

    Stephalump replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah, it might be one of those "had to be there" things. Tone and history has everything to do with how I would perceive the

  13. In your opinion...

    Stephalump replied to jmariew's topic in General Students

    I think everyone had a different demon in NS. Some people could never quite get the hang of NCLEX questions and struggled with testing through boards. Some people had difficulty taking the book...

  14. Psych nursing v. 1 to 1 observation with a psych patient

    Stephalump replied to justdoiting's topic in Psychiatric

    1:1s with difficult patients are, well...difficult. As has been previously stated, even psych nurses are human. Even nuns are human. All of the above get frustrated and annoyed and have buttons that...

  15. How to avoid beating yourself up over every little thing

    Stephalump replied to kaseykeller's topic in General Students

    One of the biggest lessons I learned in NS was that I do a lot of negative self talk (most of the time without even realizing it) and it 100% has an effect on your mental state and your future...

  16. Am I Being Bullied?

    Stephalump replied to wendey's topic in General Students

    I'm going to admit I did not read all of that. But based on the good sized chunk I did read, it doesn't sound lol bullying to me. It doesn't sound like she's trying to make you feel badly about...

  17. Out of my element: need some advice

    Stephalump replied to NurseyNursington's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Do it! I don't think anyone in my class has a position they know a lot about except a couple ER techs/paramedics who got jobs where they worked...and even THEY struggle. Now is the best time to throw...

  18. PearsonVue Trick is all lies. I didn't get a popup and I PASSED!

    Stephalump replied to pikachus's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I've known about the trick for a long time, but what I didn't know what how MUCH info you had to put in before the pop up came up. You can register again if you passed. What you can't do is pay for...

  19. Quick Results in 48 Hours?

    Stephalump replied to xObabytiggerr's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Mine showed up 48 hours from the time I finished. Paid the 8 bucks (and I didn't want to..seems like a racket to charge people when we already paid $200 and they already have the results...but I...

  20. "If you're not doing anything..."

    Stephalump replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "Sure, I'm checking my email right now, but I'll do it as soon as I'm finished!"

  21. Feeling like an idiot during sims lab... Normal?

    Stephalump replied to RookieRoo's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is hard. We have these expectations that we should be amazing nurses, our professors are pushing us to act like amazing nurses, we're comparing ourselves to one another.... But we...

    Stephalump replied to Bell13's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks, giiiiirl! Long time, no (internet)

  23. starting in a specialty

    Stephalump replied to SN2014's topic in General Students

    The market is such that that old "spend a few years in med-surg" advice is almost useless to most people. The new advice should be "You get what you get and you don't throw a fit. ?" Meaning...network...

  24. Is my school the only one?

    Stephalump replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in General Students

    We had what's called an Integrated Program set up like yours, OP. We covered each area (ob, peds, psych, med-surg, fundamentals, etc) each semester, and each semester was organized by acuity. The...
