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

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

    Please quit doubting whether you're 'smart enough' to be in the program. You obviously were smart enough to get accepted into the Fast track program. Getting consistent B +s on exams does not make you...

  2. Rules for the ER (long)

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to EDValerieRN's topic in Emergency

    Oh

  3. Low GPA

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

    I got in with a 3.2, but it was in a program in northern

  4. Here are the chances of getting into a nursing program.

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to computer101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Eh, I got in with a 3.2 while retaking the classes that brought my GPA

  5. Rules for the ER (long)

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to EDValerieRN's topic in Emergency

    Lets not ruin this thread with simple bickering. Back to the venting! (For nurses, not

  6. tired of hearing it, nursing students PLEASE answer

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

    I'll admit--I'm not giving up my life for school, and I'm doing pretty good. It is what you make of

  7. 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

    The friend I told you about got her acceptance letter today. I sent her to the site where you got your

  8. Ok, I know I can't be alone... who loves NS?

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

    I'm loving it. The classes seem to come somewhat naturally to me, the clinic instructors are incredibly supportive, and clinic is

  9. Big envelope = accepted. Small = rejected?

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to computer101's topic in General Students

    My acceptance letter came in a business sized envelope. I opened it, expecting a rejection or to be waitlisted. I saw the back first, saying something about TB testing and CPR certification, which...

  10. Anyone apply to the accelerated Michigan State University or U of M program for '10?

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

    I personally love the UP winters. I would LOVE to work at Munson, but my fiance is a computer science major graduating this May. There aren't any jobs available for him in

  11. Anyone apply to the accelerated Michigan State University or U of M program for '10?

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

    Yes, I'm from Traverse City. I thought about going to MSU, but the campus was WAY too large for my comfort. I'm currently in NMU's BSN

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

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

    When we're in class for a pre-test REVIEW session, don't testily ask if we can move on when someone legitimately doesn't understand the rational for an answer--YOU can leave. The rest of us would like...

  13. How does it work in your school when you have to miss clinical?

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

    We can miss two clinic days, but if we miss more than that, we have to start making it up, or fail. So, if we have the flu one week and have to miss both clinics that week (a 4 hour and 8 hour) then...

  14. I got in!!!

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

    Congratulations,

  15. Failed Lab today...

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

    That's kind of rediculous. My schools labs make it so that you practically have to TRY to fail lab. They want to make sure you have the technique down, so if you mis something major then you might...

  16. Anyone apply to the accelerated Michigan State University or U of M program for '10?

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

    Random, but are you from Traverse

  17. Transfer/Switch schools mid-program?

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

    Good

  18. Feeling really REALLY stupid about clinicals

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to Kringe38's topic in General Students

    Heh, I had a pt who wasn't interested in getting up at all. I just kept coming in and sitting her up, and eventually coaxed her into walking...usually by acknowledging then ignoring her

  19. Just venting about something dumb

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to K nurse-one-day's topic in General Students

    Honestly, loud chewing or chewing with your mouth open is my BIGGEST pet

  20. How do you wear your hair for clinicals?

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

    Unless of course, your hair is long enough that even with the tail of the braid tucked under, it still comes between your shoulder blades. The youtube videos are a good

  21. If Nurses were paid $8.50 per hr, would you or would you not

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

    Does it matter if that's the case? it's an interesting thought

  22. If Nurses were paid $8.50 per hr, would you or would you not

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

    Oh hell to the no! I'd quit nursing school right now if that were the case. Nursing feels like a calling to me, but 'callings' don't pay the bills. There needs to be reasonable compensation for all...

  23. Bathing Classmates and Other Personal Boundaries?

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

    We don't do invasive procedures on each other at my school. Come to think about it, I have never seen or practiced a bed

  24. Average Accepted GPA

    HyperSaurus, RN replied to cupcake231's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Actually, Med Micro used to be a 5 credit with lab twice a week. The semester you were applying, it was still that way. And I like the Anatomy, then Physiology rather than the A&P I and II format...

  25. Frustrated with clinical experience

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

    I'm really surprised that you're in your last semester and are still spending 10 weeks just shadowing. Is that unique to your clinical instructor, or is it part of curriculum policy? We are starting...
