    ATI RN comprehensive predictor

    AmyRN303 replied to Oliveijegb's topic in General Students

    It's not a 95 on the exam, I believe, it's a score which predicts a 95% probability of passing NCLEX. I scored an 88 and was within that 95% window.

    AmyRN303 replied to Episteme's topic in General Students

    We were not allowed to use medical diagnoses in the nursing diagnosis. We were, however, allowed to use medical terms in assessment data, say, medical history. So if nursing diagnosis was impaired gas...

    How to pass N-clex

    AmyRN303 replied to JD2014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Test taking strategies are an excellent way to understand what the questions are truly asking. I know some great nurses who passed first try, and some who passed on subsequent attempts. As the NCLEX...

    Another shortie here...5' even. I think the logistics of navigating with a basketball belly was one of the most challenging things I ever had to do

    79.4%..really?

    AmyRN303 replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in General Students

    Agree, and as other posters observed, the work gets more challenging with each semester. Be flexible, because it doesn't get any easier from here on out. I don't mean to devalue family time...I'm a...

    Pregnant CNA; afraid

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

    If you're having a normal pregnancy with no complications, you should have no problem with your job duties. I've worked with many a pregnant nurse or tech and within the scope of a healthy pregnancy,...

    Nurses, why do we nurse when it is so hard for some of us??????

    AmyRN303 replied to kat009's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Is there a sticky for this kind of thing? In all capital attention-grabbing letters?

    how to pass fundamentals of nursing

    AmyRN303 replied to Rn 1979's topic in General Students

    And to add to Lori's #4: figure out how you study and retain best and stick with it. The earlier you figure it out, the better. Also, take a look at test taking strategies early on. Nursing questions...

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

    Agreeing with the others. And if you want to get your feet wet in an ED as a PCT, the EMT certification comes in handy, at least here. Most of the hospitals in my area require EMT certification for...

    Why do parents get mad when you send their kids home???

    AmyRN303 replied to NurseEllie13's topic in School

    I've had a couple of pickups that had me shaking my head (banged knee on the playground) but most often it's for a legit reason. Worst ever (and completely legitimate) was my son who started throwing...

    Are study groups necessary to help me succeed in nursing program?

    AmyRN303 replied to mharzi's topic in General Students

    I study best alone, but as PP said, it's always good to have a few friends rowing the same boat. We may not have studied together, but I made a few close friends in my program with whom I still chat...

    AmyRN303 replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Again, (thought said this in reference to care plans before) it's always driven by assessment. If my kid potentially broke a bone or had a concussion (both injuries they have sustained) of course I...

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

    I find that royal is not my colour, and most mandated color scrubs hospitals in my state are royal/black :) Kidding. I don't care what color I wear. I worked for a non-nursing company which mandated...
