    Scrub Alterations?

    AmyRN303 replied to LaceElaine's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    $300 is a large investment for nursing school scrubs....at all. If they not have available XS scrubs, is it possible for them to special order them for you? I had to wait a bit to get mine in, but...

    Its official -I failed

    AmyRN303 replied to 4mykids04's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Once you receive the report, you can identify your weak areas and reinforce those. One fail does not a failure make. Of course it doesn't feel good, but a nursing career isn't a pass/fail situation....

    AmyRN303 replied to blue82's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    So let me get this straight. A girl, whom you were friendly with in school, passed her NCLEX on the first try and you think she's shady and childish because she didn't broadcast it? I don't see how...

    NCSBN RN review

    AmyRN303 replied to FabolognaRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Since NCSBN is written by the same folks who write NCLEX, it feels very similar to the actual test, in my

    Intrusiveness and unwanted touching of pregnant bellies

    AmyRN303 replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had four, and I hated it when strangers would rub my belly without asking. Coworkers? Eh. Didn't bother me. That being said, I'd reciprocate next time someone does it and see what they do.

    Pharmacology - What is the hardest part to get a grasp on before starting?

    AmyRN303 replied to MizMaverick's topic in General Students

    Just an anecdote: my mother has glaucoma and was diagnosed very young....she mentioned to me one day that she thought she was crazy because she felt her lashes were growing. Apparently the doc hasn't...

    Failed NCLEX 2 times, HELP!

    AmyRN303 replied to jenniferm89's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'd definitely look at the report they send, identify your areas of weakness, and focus on those. I love Saunders for the "how to understand NCLEX questions" section. Knowing what the question is...

    Pharmacology - What is the hardest part to get a grasp on before starting?

    AmyRN303 replied to MizMaverick's topic in General Students

    Song in my Heart (how do you make those music note signs???) has some great pharm flash cards. I'd wait until class starts to see where you need to focus. For me, it was all the diabetic meds, but for...

    AmyRN303 replied to Nurse2beMN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    From a former student who took both ATI Pharm and NCLEX: ATI is much more difficult. Know the classes, but I wouldn't worry about the individual minutiae of each drug. You need to think big picture:...

    Husband doesn't understand... advice?

    AmyRN303 replied to LVHI_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I so hear you. I haven't started working yet, but this is my situation as well. I am one of those introverts that seems extroverted in a work/social environment and need some down time to recharge. My...

    Incredibly Scared

    AmyRN303 replied to Katie BSN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Your predictor scores are good. I'd suggest, if you're taking it in three days, to do a ton of questions (try the full 265) to get a feeling of sitting for the possible full boat. I'd only do a day or...

    Why is this question always asked?

    AmyRN303 replied to RNsRWe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think part of the problem is that some people (like myself) read on mobile. I do browse through individual sections, but most often do "what's new". So, if a person didn't do a search or...

    AmyRN303 replied to AFMedic112's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    First sim is always hard because you're just starting to make the connections between the skills and the "why" behind them. Your critical thinking skills are just starting to take root. I remember one...
