  1. Mind Boggling - Not going to graduation?

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I'm not a 'nursing is a calling' person either, but I will go to my pinning. If nothing else, it won't be as interminably long as a graduation. That aside, I do enjoy getting to know my class and...

  2. What clinical rotations does your nursing school offer?

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

    My school is transitioning to a new program, but with similar clinic rotations. Old Program: ---Foundations (nursing Home) ---Psych ---Med/Surg ---OB/Peds ---Community...

  3. constant complaining

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to Izzy11's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It's not necessarily a generational thing (that's a pet peeve of mine), however, it sounds like you have a bunch of charmers in my class. How much longer do you

  4. GPA

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to UCDAVIS JESSICA's topic in General Students

    Not necessarily. At my school I repeated 3 'C' classes to raise my GPA. Our academic policy is such that whatever grade we get on the repeat completely replaces the original grade--that worked out to...

  5. humerous, yet a little scary story

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to fhockeychick504's topic in General Nursing

    Our 'code blue' is called a 'code 5'. No idea

  6. How did everyone do this semester?

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    Oh dear...an A- is still quite good

  7. How did everyone do this semester?

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    I love it when I'm secure enough with my grades to be able to fail a final and still pass the class. Obviously I wouldn't TRY to fail, but it certainly takes the worry

  8. How did everyone do this semester?

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    2 A-'s and 1 B+ (which was a general ed

  9. What nursing class at your school has the most failure rate?

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to msteresa97's topic in General Students

    Our school has a very low fail rate. I don't think we've lost anyone our first semester (Foundations) , but we do have 3(ish) out of 50 on the border and we gained 3 this semester (Med/Surg I). It's...

  10. How long of a commute do you drive

    HyperSaurus, RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm trying to decide if the possibility of an hour and a half commute would be tolerable if it meant I could work at a better hospital. How long do you drive to work and is that tolerable to

  11. How long of a commute do you drive

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

    TheCommuter, your name doesn't fit at

  12. What do you do when you feel burned out?

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to flygirl117's topic in General Students

    I play Pokemon on my Nintendo DS when I'm too tired or annoyed to

  13. What to do about favoritism in class

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

    I don't think this is the same kind of favortism as what you first talk about. Legitimately participating in lecture and being well prepared isn't the same thing as getting through class undeserved...

  14. Time of the month in light colored scrubs

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

    How do you maintain not having leakage

  15. Is this abandonment?

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to ra3583's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose and I retract my previous statement:) I wouldn't go so far as to say 'many' young people, but there definitely enough. No, you don't sound like an old

  16. Is this abandonment?

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to ra3583's topic in General Nursing

    At least you gave them a couple days notice. And ghillbert, if you didn't want us to make generalizations based on your post about SOME new grads, you wouldn't have made

  17. Time of the month in light colored scrubs

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

    Love the use of the term 'hemorrhaging'. I got lucky and we have to wear dark blue scrubs--much harder to detect

  18. Unwanted pregnancy diagnosis

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to kmclark89's topic in General Students

    Hehe, I read the title 'unwanted pregnancy diagnosis' very

  19. I got accepted to a nursing program, but im about to give up my seat...HELP

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to RN2BKD's topic in General Students

    It sounds like your family doesn't really seem to comprehend what this means to you or how important it is, much less how hard it is to get into a program. Go for it! You can do anything for a couple...

  20. Clinicals... feeling kind of dumb.

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

    The only reason why I got the catheter emptying was because I watched a nurse teach a patient how to as part of her discharge

  21. Clinicals... feeling kind of dumb.

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

    Mi Vida, that made me laugh. My first day, I could not figure out how to get the cap off of the lancet for a blood sugar check. My partner and I struggled for a couple minutes until our patient took...

  22. New Nurse Rant

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to Lorrie34's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Don't be sorry about starting this thread. As an RN student, I find it very educational to read this--it makes me wonder what I will face once I become a newly licensed nurse like

  23. New Nurse Rant

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to Lorrie34's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Zak, there's another thread discussing the scope of LPN practices between states. You should take a look--In some states, they are permitted to perform assessments and report somthing that is wrong to...

  24. New Nurse Rant

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to Lorrie34's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Lorrie34, calm down. Not all of us think you're stupid or necessarily acting beyond the bounds of your license. You two are from different states, so I would disregard Zak's post. Regarding your...

  25. Love School/Hate Clinical

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

    You may not feel it's right, but sometimes what you feel can trick you. Assessments, even on a resident in a long term care facility NEEDS to be done--they are there for a reason. You can make...
