    How many read their BON meeting minutes?

    AmyRN303 replied to aeris99's topic in General Students

    Ours are online. I read through them and had the opportunity in my final semester to attend a

    Seeking recommendations for psychiatric nursing jobs for ADN grads in CT

    AmyRN303 replied to Gentleman_nurse's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Middlesex is not hiring ADN nurses as far as I know. There are various state positions for DMH posted on the state's website from time to time as well. I'd check hospitals closer to NYC

    The car seat test

    AmyRN303 replied to Not_A_Hat_Person's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'd think so too. Unless PP is talking about checking all car seats in discharged mothers' cars as opposed to the car seat challenge

    Why is this question always asked?

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

    Yes. I ended up taking a ton of questions when I was prepping for NCLEX, not to study per se, but to get used to what sitting for 265 questions might feel like. I encourage students to prepare...

    Case Study #2

    AmyRN303 replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Stat CT: I'm still thinking a bleed. Quite visible on CT even as patient is still in the machine. Multiple lines: several incompatible meds? Large bore could be unnecessary unless you're running...

    Shoes for Nursing School!

    AmyRN303 replied to jday314's topic in General Students

    I love em both, but for different scenarios. I loved standing and walking all day in my Danskos. I worked food service and their support is amazing. Fast walking/jog, quick stop, though, I always...

    Shoes for Nursing School!

    AmyRN303 replied to jday314's topic in General Students

    Just had to update that the footbed in the Alegria is amazing. Firm, with great arch support. Lather is stiff at first but quickly softens up. Loving these

    Which job would be a better fit for a new grad?!

    AmyRN303 replied to scnurse1020's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm a new RN, and it sounds like job #2 is a better fit for your interests. Smaller hospital aside, it has a good reputation, on a floor you want, on the shift you want, with a good orientation time...

    Do New Graduate Nurses Need a Formal Residency Program?

    AmyRN303 replied to JPCummings's topic in Nursing Career

    I start a residency in July. I don't really know what to expect, but the reputation is stellar. No contract to sign other than accepting my offer of

    Case Study #2

    AmyRN303 replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The BP combined with the heart rate and headache make me think increased ICP, possibly first stage of Cushing's triad. But why is the ICP elevated? Get any labs or tests back yet? Editing to add that...

    Should I try and become a Nurse in a Naturopathic Clinic or a Naturopathic Doctor?

    AmyRN303 replied to NenaRK's topic in Holistic

    Good lord, I meant to hit "quote" and hit "like" instead. Do you have some sort of evidence of this? It's very conspiracy theory/Natural News sounding to

    Obamacare? what are your thoughts

    AmyRN303 replied to nija315's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The plural of "anecdote" is not data. Your one scenario is just that: one experience. It is far from the norm. Not to mention "weed out the worthless" is extremely

    Breast pumping in an ICU

    AmyRN303 replied to Stacyalexisk's topic in MICU, SICU

    I still don't read anything in the OP that she requested anything of the nurse which would make her think she wants to be taken care of. Totally agree with you that if she is, then that's beyond...

    Breast pumping in an ICU

    AmyRN303 replied to Stacyalexisk's topic in MICU, SICU

    It didn't sound like she was troubling staff, so much as asking if it were okay to pump in her mother's room, as opposed to say, going into a bathroom or other available private space. (I have a huge...

    What gift to get for a nursing student?

    AmyRN303 replied to mmc51264's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure he's a great cardiologist. That being said, the five seconds I saw of his show once happened to be about some miracle super food....the sensationalism and fear mongering is outrageous. And...

    Addressing patients by their first name...

    AmyRN303 replied to tytkhat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I greet them and ask how they prefer to be addressed. I'm not a spring chicken, but if someone ever called me "Mrs. RN303" I'd be looking around the room for my mother.

    AmyRN303 replied to jk82's topic in School

    I'm not a school nurse, but as of this fall I will be working full time. I will miss out on field trips, though I'm hoping to be able to schedule at least one per child (4) with our scheduling. I'm...

    Difficult resident and charged nurse

    AmyRN303 replied to mineSgold's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My instructor told us day one in a residential facility not to wear gloves in the hallway because the assumption was that they were dirty, whether they were actually clean or not. We degloved in the...
