  1. How long until you stop feeling like you got your butt kicked?

    HyperSaurus, RN posted a topic in General Students

    I'm pretty useless after an 8 hour clinic once a week--just really tired and achy, even if the day went great. So how long, once you started working did it take for you NOT to feel like someone set...

  2. got yelled at today- for volunteering

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to nurse441's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in between. Volunteering to get you foot in the door, especially if you're out of options makes sense. However, being so blatantly obvious and rather tactless about it was not really to way to go...

  3. Please tell me your typical week in nursing school....

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to Addy3's topic in General Students

    Mine has summers off, although you can apply for the 'fast-track' progression which does have summer courses and only lasts 2 years rather than 2.5. Not worth it to

  7. Hitting the wall.

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to dudette10's topic in General Students

    When I gave overly stressed like this I either take a nap or play Pokemon. Some form of game where there's not a whole lot of thinking

  8. Nursing School Rankings???

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

    Ha....my school is ranked

  9. Does nursing school seem like Dog Years to anyone else??

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    Much agreed, TokyoRose. I'm also finishing up my second semester, and the time before nursing school seems like it was someone else's

  11. UGH!!!!! V ent: Finding charts

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

    I wouldn't mind having night clinicals occasionally. I'm most likely going to start out working nights, so I'd like to get an idea of how those shifts feel and

  12. "Im Sorry But We Dont Hire New Nurses"

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

    This makes me nervous for when I graduate. I still have a year and a half to go. I'm rooting for

  13. Is there anything I can work on before starting NS?

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to missdixie023's topic in General Students

    Yeah. Establish good sleep

  14. Does anyone have a family member in NS too?

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to blessed2bfree's topic in General Students

    I'll be honest, I'm glad no one else in my family is in nursing school. We're all way too competitive. However, my dad graduated from nursing school five years ago, and I often talk to him about stuff...

  15. any lpn hospital or clinic jobs in michigan?

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to belle05's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm not sure, but I think alot of the hospitals in the UP hire LPNs. There is Marquette General Hospital in Marquette, which is a decent hospital. There's also a hospital in Sault St. Marie, Iron...

  16. finally, an encouraging evaluation

    December 2011. I have a year and a

  17. finally, an encouraging evaluation

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to RedRobin8's topic in General Students

    My dad did the same thing. He retired from the Marines and promptly went to nursing school while working part time as a truck unloader at Meijer and then a nurses aid. I don't envy you and I certainly...

  18. Does nursing school seem like Dog Years to anyone else??

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    Do we age that much too in nursing school? I hope

  19. Does anyone dislike the medsurg clinical experience?

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

    There are certain aspects I don't like. Dealing with geriatric patients makes me nervous, but other than that, I don't have a problem with you. I DO, however, dislike working with patients who aren't...

  20. UGH!!!!! V ent: Finding charts

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

    Our school got around this problem by adding a 4 hour evening portion to the clinic. I have clinic Tuesday night 2-6 (with a 1 hour preclinic conference 2-3) with the sole intention of us performing...

  21. finally, an encouraging evaluation

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to RedRobin8's topic in General Students

    Sounds like you have it tough. To be fair, there are plenty of single 20-somethings with alot on their plate besides just school (trying to pay rent, working a crappy part-time job or two, ect...)...

  22. Does nursing school seem like Dog Years to anyone else??

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    So, what's the conversion? You know how 7 human years = 1 dog year..is it 1 Nursing School month =1

  23. How long until you stop feeling like you got your butt kicked?

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

    The hospital in my area actually doesn't have 12 hour shifts. Everything is 8 hours. So Management students (our final semester students) come in 2 or 3 times a week for 8 hours at a

  24. Does it make a difference in new grad hiring? BSN or ASN?

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to red.tm's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm going for a BSN while my dad has an ADN and is now starting to go for a BSN. He was one of the last ADNs that his hospital hired in, and he is grandfathered in where he is not REQUIRED to get a...

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

    ThatGuy, I'm not sure how much liking clinics have to do with it, at least for me. I love clinics and feel pretty confident in them, but the sheer amount of walking, moving, and just 'being on my...
