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

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

    I was saying to myself today "Just keep walking, just keep walking" ala Dory from Finding

  2. Nursing Programs WITHOUT waiting lists?

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to Dayned20's topic in Michigan Nursing

    There is always NMU up in Marquette, MI. They accept 40 students for winter and 50 for the fall. I've met several people who were accepted with 3.1 and 3.2 GPAs and there are no entrance exams. I...

  3. Job Scam- Wanted to give a heads up

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

    "Creeper no creeping! Creeper no creeping!" is the thought that runs through my head while reading this. I'm sorry for your

  4. Potential strike in Michigan

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

    The hospital in Petoskey had a RN strike for over a year in the early 2000s. From what I heard, it didn't end up working out well for the original

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

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

    Heh, I don't even feel like that. I just feel really tired the next day and am not able to do a whole lot. But, i love clinics. I'm just a bit worried for how I'm going to handle 3 12 hour shifts or...

  6. 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

    You really need to look into what your area hires--Some hospitals do have explicit policies where they will NOT hire

  7. Being a student preceptor

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

    I am happy to help with ADLs as long as you also come get me for other things too. More more more

  8. Your best student experiences

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

    Due to having off-rotations scheduled for my first two weeks, my first day on surgical was 3 weeks after everyone else and I was feeling pretty apprehensive about being behind everyone else in terms...

  9. Barely getting through it...

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to bassadict69's topic in General Students

    I skip questions that I am unsure of. When I come back to them, I don't think, I just put down the first answer that jumps at me. I've been getting a B+ on my Med/Surg

  10. State forums now have state nurse program discussion forums

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to Silverdragon102's topic in General Students

    Thank you. It's been getting somewhat overwhelming with how many people post asking about specific programs on this

  11. Getting ripped off with clinical experiences...

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

    Other LPN programs do allow for clinics in the hospitals, but many of those same hospitals don't hire LPNs. It got bad enough here that they are discontinuing our LPN program. Still, especially if...

  12. Need some help/recommendations following removal from nursing school

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to mlb69's topic in General Nursing

    Woah, when did this thread turn into a fight unrelated to the topic at hand? Calm down,

  13. Need some help/recommendations following removal from nursing school

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to mlb69's topic in General Nursing

    Sound quite horrible. They didn't let you take the classes while you were in the appeal

  14. Pay Scales

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

    Sit at a desk? I wish. The only times I see the RN's I'm doing clinic with sitting is when they're phone-tagging a doctor or chasing down an order. RN's also do the the cleaning, feeding,...

  15. How do you know if you will be good at clinicals?

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to WDW4ever's topic in General Students

    Instead of shadowing a nurse for our first Med/Surg clinic day, we were partnered up. It was a good way to throw us in and give us a life-preserver at the same time. I was so scared before my first...

  16. Is Nursing Right for Me? (Holistic-Minded)

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

    Heh...I avoided the flu vaccine until this year (I've never had the flu either). My doctor talked me into getting both the seasonal and H1N1, one in each arm. I wasn't thrilled, but I understood the...

  17. Is Nursing Right for Me? (Holistic-Minded)

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

    I'll be honest--I don't think you will particularly care for nursing. Nursing may try to be holistic--as in we need to care for the ENTIRE client, not just the disease--but nursing is also VERY...

  18. Starting to doubt if nursing is for me...

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to lilbutterfly1's topic in General Students

    There are times that I think 'Wow, they're trusting me to do this by myself?'. It's a great

  20. Need some help/recommendations following removal from nursing school

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to mlb69's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't had psych yet, so I wasn't sure if the ABCs still applied. Thanks.

  21. Need some help/recommendations following removal from nursing school

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to mlb69's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad that they're going to take you back. Even if you did miss some dots, you should have been given the chance to show what you've got--and they are (now). It sounds like you'll be a great nurse....

  22. Were their any teen moms here?? Re: NS project

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

    If the kid cries alot, don't be afraid to put them down in their crib and go out side for a couple

  23. Need some help/recommendations following removal from nursing school

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to mlb69's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a second semester student, and personally, those values made me raise my eyebrows. I miss alot of stuff too, and that was just one example. But, I don't know what he's truly like as a student, but...

  24. Need some help/recommendations following removal from nursing school

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to mlb69's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be honest..it really does sound like you're missing the dots. If nothing else, you usually need to follow Maslow's hierachy. Anticipatory grieving is very important, but the lower H/H seems...

  25. Last semester of the year ! But I do not want to be a nurse anymore

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

    Nursing school like a rabid dog? I'm not sure if that makes me want to laugh or
