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

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

  2. Nursing School Must Haves??

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

    Sleep. The ability to take care of yourself even when you're overwhelmed. Too many nursing students lose their perspective because they forgot an important rule: Caregivers must take care of...

  3. I've changed my mind again

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

    I don't think I want to start on Med/Surg. That type of nursing is very different than the type of nursing for peds or L&D, so I would rather jump right in, if I could. I will, of course, take...

    After having my laparoscopic cholestystectomy, I'm really glad that they no longer have to be ICU stays with suction machines. I hated the Jackson-Pratt (when it was pulled

  5. One of my professors has it out for me.....

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

    Please relax. Something I learned, regarding your question of why give advair to a pneumonia pt when it increases chances for pneumonia, is A. they already have it, so that's sort of besides the...

  6. I've changed my mind again

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

    Ha! I too had a recent change of heart. I had been, up until now, set on adult ICU or CCU. Now, I'm thinking of Peds or PICU. I start Peds/OB next semester. Is your program year

  8. Oh wow! I'm going to be a nurse!

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

    Actually, that's not necessarily true. More and more hospitals are beginning to offer 'Critical Care Internships' for new grads which basically provides 6 months of on the job training with the...

  10. Oh wow! I'm going to be a nurse!

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

    I had alot of self-doubts at the beginning of this semester. I was intimidated by the level of responsibility in the Med/Surg clinic. Now, I still get a little nervous, but I KNOW I can handle it, and...

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

    Respiratory therapy. I really enjoyed that

  15. Oh wow! I'm going to be a nurse!

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

    Not too long after I got my letter and started reading the forums here. But now that I think about it, I knew I was on my way when someone's (not my pt) IV alarm went off (on my first day on the...

  18. Evolve HESI/tests/case studies

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

    We use the Evolve Casestudies, practice tests, skills videos, and of course, the HESI. I guess since they've started using Evolve and HESI, our pass rates have gone from 83% to 98% and one year, 100%....

  20. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

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

    We're going to lose some of our class this semester as they jump ahead in their progression. I have mixed feelings--some where know-it-alls (not so much anymore) but they were all very nice and I...

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

    How exactly would you have expected one to interpret that, considering in more than one post you were trying to call people a profane word. Back to the scheduled program: Dinner with you guys was...

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to BSNstudent107's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    I don't know, but I've recently begun to consider pediatric ICU rather than adult ICU. Let me know how it goes and good luck on your interview. Just be calm and

  24. How should a student nurse approach an uncooperative CNA for help?

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

    How does this describe an 'uncooperative CNA"? The RN told you, nicely, that it would be better for you to do it. Just clean the guy and be on your way. There is nothing untoward going on here, so...

  25. Did your Nursing counselor give you hope you will get in and you did? (or didnt)

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

    I was told I wouldn't get in and I need to either think about doing the LPN program instead or switch majors. I'm now finishing my first year in the RN program. To be fair, I think she told me that to...
