1. ER vs. Telemetry.. need help

   Abigail25 replied to abbabask's topic in Emergency

   I went to the ED after five months on the CDU. Those five months were a wonderful learning experience. With that being said, I think you will be fine going to the ED. However, you have to have a passion for emergency medicine in order to survive ther...

2. Anyone wear the Masai Barefoot Technology shoes?

   Abigail25 replied to eternalsunshine's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I've been wearing MBT's for about six months. I love them! They are a bit heavy but my legs and back have been almost pain free since I started wearing them. No shoe is perfect but these are the best I've found.

3. One year anniversary!

   Abigail25 posted a topic in New Nurse

   My one year anniversary has come and past now. I've been a nurse for one year and I can't even comprehend how much I have learned and grown. I work in at a busy Adult Emergency Dept. that has over 100,000 visits per year. I've experienced so much and...

4. Are all floor nurses rude to ER nurses?

   Abigail25 replied to Andy S.'s topic in Emergency

   I just don't get it. When I call the floor, I got out of my way to be friendly, courteous and treat the unit secretary and the receiving RN the way I would want to be treated. When I get to the floor, I greet, smile and ask how their night is going...

5. Does anyone wear MBT shoes?

   Abigail25 replied to blueberry21's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I have MBT's. I love them! No more leg pain, lower back pain or burning feet. I've worn Nike's, Danskos, Crocs, Merrels and several different orthotics. MBT's surpass them all in quality and comfort. Zappos has some of their new styles. Mine l...

6. Did anyone read the People story about Christina Aguilera?

   Abigail25 replied to rph3664's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I don't think you're giving me a hard time...no worries here. My point was that we really don't know fact from fiction when it comes to celebrities and the media. My other point was, over the last year, she's been out of the limelight besides "baby...

   LOL! I just realized my post was moved to this forum. I didn't even realize this forum was here! Looks to be lots of threads on the subject...time to search and read! Thanks!

8. Did anyone read the People story about Christina Aguilera?

   Abigail25 replied to rph3664's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Good point. What a celebrity tells the media may not be the actual story. Besides, she just gave us something to talk about...sounds like she put herself back in the public eye without drinking, doing drugs or putting herself and/or baby at harm, ...

   Abigail25 posted a topic in Online Learning

   Hi there, Please tell me your experiences with online ASN to BSN programs. I'm considering doing an online program but don't know many that have gone this route. Thanks!

10. Passing with 265 questions???

    Abigail25 replied to ktmiller's topic in NCLEX

    I passed with 265 on the first try. I tried to look at every question as an opportunity to prove myself. It totally sucked though. Stay positive!

11. Is It Wrong to Look at Your Own Medical Info?

    Abigail25 replied to jamonit's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital has a zero tolerance policy regarding medical records, even if it is yours. They terminate immediately, no questions asked.

12. is there anyone out there who took only kaplan for their review materials and pass??

    Abigail25 replied to shmily24's topic in NCLEX

    From graduation to test day was 6 weeks. I did between 100 and 150 questions daily with weekends off. Good luck to you!

13. is there anyone out there who took only kaplan for their review materials and pass??

    Abigail25 replied to shmily24's topic in NCLEX

    I used Kaplan exculsively. I chose one review program and made that my primary focus. I skipped the NCLEX review at school because I didn't want to muddy my thinking with any other methodology. I passed the first time and I thank Kaplan for that!

14. We need to lift eachother up!

    Abigail25 posted a topic in New Nurse

    During school, I would see instructors tear students down and classmates gossip behind ones back. It was a rare occasion my classmates would actually support eachothers endeavors. Even here on allnurses, I remember when I first started school and was...
