    24 hour shift as a CNA

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

    Never heard of or seen advertised a 24 hour CNA position in my area. Doesn't sound like a good idea, in my

    I got the good pop-up!

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

    It'll post :) Congratulations. I really appreciate your take on the "what worked for me": I too took mostly questions near the end to prep for my exam, just as I had for exams in school. Sticking to...

    Not just another NETY thread....

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

    Thanks, all! I actually did not do any rotations on this floor, though two of my former clinical instructors do have rotations there. And I did raise four kids through the toddler phase (and two are...

    Not just another NETY thread....

    AmyRN303 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was just hired into a new grad residency program. I'm an older new nurse (40ish, haha) and I didn't find any "bullying" going on in my clinical rotations: there are a lot of different personalities...

    NOC with kids home for summer break?

    AmyRN303 replied to 4boysmama's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you graduated locally, perhaps you could post a request at your school for current students. I don't have to worry about this summer as my mother in law will be coming up to stay with them (full...

    Shoes for Nursing School!

    AmyRN303 replied to jday314's topic in General Students

    I have Danskos but recently purchased a pair of Timberland Renova Pro. While a clog style, they aren't loose like the Dansko (which are designed to flip/flop on your feet with a natural clog motion)...

    AmyRN303 replied to Not_A_Hat_Person's topic in Ob/Gyn

    For all four of mine (not preemie) the nurses checked seat placement in my car before I left. When I did my L&D rotation, no infant needing a car seat test was discharged without

    Proper undergarments under WHITE PANTS

    AmyRN303 replied to Purple Lady's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Our school had white pants until the semester I started when they changed to navy. I'm thankful for that, as I had an unfortunate occurrence in eighth grade with a pair of white jeans.... Didn't have...

    SOAPIER and GPAL

    AmyRN303 replied to DawnJ's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    GPAL (gravidity, parity, abortion, living) is something I would consider to be objective data. If the patient gives you an oral medical/surgical history, that is also objective data. SOAPIE/R: I've...

    CCN smoking an electric cigarette at nurses station

    AmyRN303 replied to NoScrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Unprofessional. While I don't believe e-cigs present a second-hand risk as cigarettes do, it's unprofessional. I used to have one which lit up at the end similarly to a real one, and my dad, at a...

    Therapeutic Lying, Ethical? Or not?

    AmyRN303 replied to vregino36's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I really like your phrase "jumping on the boat". Great contribution. I worked for two years with residents in some phase of dementia, and that sums it up

    Caring for Obese Patients

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

    As a student, I heard a ton of snide remarks about obese patients, in many different types of facilities. I'm short and petite, and while I understand that obviously, I'm going to need 2-3 more people...

    AmyRN303 replied to PediatricRNTX's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Idk if your employer offers a health savings plan, but if they do, that may be a great thing to get you through till February. I haven't had insurance for four years now (and won't till August) but my...
