    jamisaurus replied to GlitterFaerie's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's all about knowing yourself and your triggers and being compliant with your medications. I have to work extra hard to get enough sleep and it sucks not being able to drink coffee when I'm...

    jamisaurus replied to ICURN3020's topic in General Nursing

    I once ran into the other room where my husband was like a bat out of hell while I was sleeping. He asked wide eyed what was wrong and I calmly replied "the ventilator was alarming", walked back into...

    jamisaurus replied to jar312's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Did you not like the answers you got on your other post asking for advice about starting night shift? There are countless threads on this site with advice for how to survive night shift, try a quick...

  5. physical capabilty test

    jamisaurus replied to nikkinicole12's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know exact numbers, but I can't tell you the last time I worked out and I passed. Couldn't do a pull up, can't even do a sit up. It's not anything to worry about just when you're taking the...

    jamisaurus replied to RookieRoo's topic in General Students

    The worst! MY patient, MY IV. I threw down over this in nursing

  7. Benefits of Clinicals w/ partners vs. without.

    jamisaurus replied to RookieRoo's topic in General Students

    It seems to me like you are one of those students who is a real go getter, who would've been fine day 1 without a partner. It really depends on where you are in your education-- med/surg is where it...

  9. Not What I Expected

    jamisaurus replied to LoveAlwaysAlisa's topic in General Students

    jamisaurus replied to OUxPhys's topic in Ohio Nursing

    New grads starting at $24/hr. Thats pretty standard across all the central ohio hospitals with maybe $0.10 differences. Mt Carmel, ohio health, OSU. I do know OSU and Nationwide Children's are on...

  12. New RN Job offers

    jamisaurus replied to Apalmeri5's topic in New York Nursing

    What are your long term goals? Do you want to work in pediatrics? Do you want to work in an MDs office? It all depends on what type of nursing you want to do. Two years is quite the commitment, but...

  13. Striving to do Better

    jamisaurus replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    it's near pointless to get an ADN in Columbus, so I ron think the RN-BSN or CSCC route would be a good one. The job market is so saturated with new BSN grads. It took me 4 months to find a job with a...

  14. Did anyone find that their previous degree was harder that nursing school?

    jamisaurus replied to Nursetobe25's topic in General Students

  17. ATI Comprehensive Predictor and NCLEX

    jamisaurus replied to whitneycherelle's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    ATI was super similar to NCLEX-RN. I felt it prepared me very well. I had 92% likelihood of passing nclex, and I did in 75

  18. ATI anyone?

    jamisaurus replied to bagface's topic in General Students

    I personally thought ATI questions were really similar to NCLEX and I was grateful to my school for choosing it and making us do those stupid tests. I felt like ATI prepared me well and all my friends...
