2. You're going to think I'm nuts

   ChesterMcE89 replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

   Clinicals can be hit or miss. Some days I have a great nurse who really wants to teach me, but also understands I am a student and I dont know everything yet. other days it seems like the nurses just want to make you feel bad about anything you dont ...

   I hate nursing school and everything it stands for. get me out of here ASAP. everything from the finagling instructors and haggered nurses I deal with at clinicals to the NCLEX style trickery.

4. Grooming for male pre-nursing students

   ChesterMcE89 replied to rocketberger's topic in Male Students

   My hair isn't 'long' but I do rock the shaggy/curly/messy look. Ive been doing this for the past 2 semesters of the nursing program and finally in my 3rd semester a micro-managing, finagling professor had the balls (or, ovaries) to call me out on it!...

   Does anyone know what Mayo's (Rochester MN) policy is on hiring new grads for ED/ICU?? I don't know if it's my nursing professor or the floor itself that is currently making me despise med-surg, or the fact that my sister is only 28 years old and i...

8. stimulants for night shift??

   ChesterMcE89 replied to ChesterMcE89's topic in Male Students

   well my thinking is that when I take it during the day I'm not fighting sleepiness or fatigue, although at night there is a certain level of drowsiness to overcome. So i guess what I'm wondering is there a huge difference between taking ADD meds dur...

9. stimulants for night shift??

   ChesterMcE89 posted a topic in Male Students

   Currently I am prescribed Ritalin for ADD. Being a stimulant, it obviously has effects on alertness/'awakeness' and the like. If I were to work the night shift when I graduate, would taking Ritalin to stay focused and alert throughout the night be in...
