  1. Ashamed of nursing school

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to MzTayTay's topic in General Students

    Well, since you're not one of those people, I don't see why you would be all worked up about them. Yes, I've encountered many of those at my school, but since I know the vast majority will not make it...

  2. Why Do Nursing Instructors Rely So Heavily On PowerPoints To Teach?

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    Many of my profs use power points, but not all. Some make Word documents with blanks in them for us to print out and fill out through out lecture. I had one professor, for Peds, who did used case...

  3. Snow- at what point do you call out?

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to EMSnut45's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, this has some profanity in it, so avoid watching if that bothers you. But this sums up my feelings on Michigan winters (I was raised in North

  4. Snow- at what point do you call out?

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to EMSnut45's topic in General Nursing

    I live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (Lake Superior side)--we regularly get dumped on. I suspect that the local hospital won't be very tolerant of call-offs d/t snow (I'm a student, and thus...

  6. tell me about L&D/PP clinicals

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    I just finished up with L&D. The only thing I enjoyed about it was NICU. We did a lot of sitting around, waiting for the next assessment or call light, or chasing down our instructor. Also, the...

  8. Good time to be finished with nursing school

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Students

    Some how this reminds me of a friend who was upset because she turned 21 and still wasn't married. Perspective is an interesting

  9. HESI disaster!

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to Jaysie1's topic in General Students

    Wow, you have your own computer lab? We all have university-issued laptops, so no computer labs for

  10. HESI disaster!

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to Jaysie1's topic in General Students

    Because everyone was on wireless? We usually are encouraged to bring our ethernet cords with us in order to help prevent overloading the wireless routers. We had 3 HESIs this week without a

  11. Anyone regret ever having stepped foot in nursing school?

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to summersent's topic in General Students

  12. Anyone here Accepted for NMU's BSN program for Fall '10 or already in

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to hearts895, RN BSN's topic in General Students

    You can play with the options and call the different numbers. Some, that aren't specified as pet friendly actually are, especially if you sound like you're somewhat

  13. Anyone here Accepted for NMU's BSN program for Fall '10 or already in

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to hearts895, RN BSN's topic in General Students

    I was going to say, Maria, your apartment is rather expensive for the average student trying to get by on loans. Even with a roomie, it's still a bit more than other places. As far as rooming, you...

  14. Northern Michigan University

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to DahlstromPreNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Med Micro is hard, the prof, Jackie Bird can be a pain depending on the semester. But if you take goods notes and make flash cards out of them, you should be fine. Nutrition with Mowafy is...awful. In...

  15. Anyone here Accepted for NMU's BSN program for Fall '10 or already in

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to hearts895, RN BSN's topic in General Students

    Yeah, Sawyer is a bit...gang infested...sort of. If you don't mind the commute, I'd recommend looking into housing in Negaunee or Ishepeming. Negaunee is 15 minutes outside of Mqt, and Ishpeming 20...

  16. Northern Michigan University

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to DahlstromPreNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm still here and have a year left at Northern. It depends on why you want to go to Northern on whether you'll like it. The surrounding area is certainly...less developed than the Lansing area--not...

  17. NO LUNCH? NO BREAKS? Is that common in nursing?

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to CleveRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a student...That being said, I'm not sure I could handle not having enough time to at least snack. I am prone to hypoglycemic spells. That could get shady pretty fast when providing pt care (I'm...

  18. Jehovah's Witness nurses in the critical care unit?

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to asdf88's topic in Critical Care

    I hope this thread stays open. It is very intriguing and educational. I've even asked a couple of my professors what they thought. OP, I hope you find the answers you're looking for. Personally, I...

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to WickedRedRN's topic in General Nursing

  20. Preceptor Programs

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in General Students

    Actually, my program is JUST NOW implementing a preceptor-ship program. My cohort will be the first to experience this. Before that, there was a 'management' clinical, but nothing as dedicated as a...

  21. Electonic documentation,how much time does it take from the bedside?

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if it is a matter of whether you first learned to paper chart or went right to EMRs. I'm a nursing student and all I've ever known is electronic charting. While the program is admittedly...

  22. How did I get an A in med/surg and a C in OB??

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to inProgress's topic in General Students

    Because OB sucks? Lol, no I don't mean that. I'm super excited because I just finished my OB clinicals which was a hit/miss experience. I'm in a similar position as you..A- in Med/Surg I and B- in OB....

  23. What is the safest way to record vitals in an isolation room?

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to ABSN35's topic in General Nursing

    That was what I would do. Also nice for the A&O pts who liked to know their vitals. I also have gotten good at remembering all the

  24. I study a lot and I end up with B's...help -_-..how do you study?!!!!

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to gtrebyari's topic in General Students

    Seriously, if you're getting Bs on your exams, you're obviously absorbing a good amount of the info. I wouldn't stress myself out because I'm not making the almighty-A. While I often am an A student,...

  25. I am confused on priority on nclex. DKA, Renal Fail, Head injury?

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to jcutler's topic in General Students

    Ok, so what are the options again? K+ of 6.0? vomiting Decrease LOC DKA BP of 80/50? Or are some of these supposed to be lumped together. In the original question, I'd go with the closed head injury...
