    What Do You Eat?

    AmyRN303 replied to tbbtpeach's topic in General Students

    Green smoothie or protein shake, maybe a granola bar to go along with it. I'm not huge on breakfast but I feel my energy draining if I don't eat

    How do you view the role of nurses in health care

    AmyRN303 replied to Mar933's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What do you have so far? What are your feelings about the role of

    Not just another NETY thread....

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

    The first sentence of your second paragraph is the only reason I brought this up. If it had been peers, eh, I probably wouldn't have blinked. I appreciate your ears and will keep you

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

    Exactly....which is why I wanted to make sure everyone knew that was not my intent for this

    Do you want to be jobless after nursing school? I didn't think so...

    AmyRN303 replied to Manny92's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    New grads in hospitals where I live make the same rate regardless of prior CNA/PCT experience. Perhaps in other areas of nursing there is a pay increase based on experience as a CNA, but experience as...

    Not just another NETY thread....

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

    Thanks- and I likely shouldn't have used the abbreviation. It stands for "nurses eating their young". That being said, I'm not really young in an age sense. I know I am not anyone's gift to nursing,...

    Not just another NETY thread....

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

    Thank you all! I have the normal "new nurse nerves" (I start in six weeks!) but hadn't been concerned about inter-employee relationships until the other day. Thank you for talking me

    Why would nurses voluntarily sign up at for profit schools?

    AmyRN303 replied to RNdynamic's topic in School, College Programs

    Just for informational purposes, I graduated from a local college with my ADN. My school offers a bridge program for LPNs (on campus/clinicals) and an RN-BSN program, which may be taken as a hybrid or...

    Why would nurses voluntarily sign up at for profit schools?

    AmyRN303 replied to RNdynamic's topic in School, College Programs

    Wouldn't that be cool though?

    Why would nurses voluntarily sign up at for profit schools?

    AmyRN303 replied to RNdynamic's topic in School, College Programs

    My sister attends GCU and was never hassled or hounded. She also has to work very hard for her grades....there's definitely no "passing everyone"

    Do you ever find yourself comparing where you are to where other people are?

    AmyRN303 replied to kdpatula's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Comparison is the thief of joy. Eyes on your own journey! I graduated high school 20+ years ago and went off to college in a non-nursing major. Dropped out, got married, had four kids, got divorced,...

    AmyRN303 replied to RandomRN's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'd totally forgotten about this commercial until just now....got a good belly laugh from that one. OP, I love my Chucks too. I'm looking into orthotics to save my back and

    Pharm on NCLEX?

    AmyRN303 replied to KeepCalmNurs3On's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think I had maybe one. They definitely don't expect you to have an extensive knowledge of pharmacology to

    How long did it take you to do your prerequisites?

    AmyRN303 replied to carys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    About 18 months, averaging between 9-16 credits per semester. Then 18 months of nursing

    NO ANXIETY!!

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

    The fact that I wasn't worried before my exam worried me too :) I did get a little nervous day of, but not extremely so. If you're consistently taking questions and doing well, I'd keep doing what...

    A nurse who doesn't breastfeed

    AmyRN303 replied to j0yegan's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Exactly. I have four kids, three of whom breast fed for over a year. Two of those were much closer to two when they weaned. The fourth? She was tough. I'm fair skinned and worked with both LCs and La...

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

    That was a concern to me as I've never seen them in person....do you find them scratchy? I'm in the northeast so hot isn't as much of a factor, but I've been a Koi girl for some time as they feel more...

    Status of RN license

    AmyRN303 replied to rumwynnieRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'd put state license # of where you are licensed and then your Florida one pending, so they know it's in process. Several friends have applied out of state here and were told they would only be hired...

    Issues with a Clinical Instructor

    AmyRN303 replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    Hi! First semester is fundamentals. Communication and, well, fundamentals are what you'll be doing. A long time psych nurse would be an ideal instructor, IMO. You'll learn how to do a full assessment...

    Anti-Intellectualism in Nursing

    AmyRN303 replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Only thing I'm firing up is my flame-proof clapping mittens. Wouldn't want my hands to catch fire with all the applauding I'm doing. Again, GrnTea, you so eloquently said exactly what I was
