    PRN hours decreased because of the ACA

    AmyRN303 replied to kdhunley's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm in no way bashing the ACA. I've been a supporter of it since the beginnings of it, and I'm not ashamed to say that. I have checked into other programs for which I've been told I don't qualify....

    lpn delegation question

    AmyRN303 replied to jhayes2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    In this case, continue to irrigate would be the correct answer because of the urgency of the situation. It's the only thing that wouldn't harm the patient: all of the other options delay treatment and...

    When it comes to completing a RN to BSN program, does it matter which one you choose?

    AmyRN303 replied to Nola009's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Nola, I'm wondering the same thing. The WGU program is ideal for me as I believe I'll finish in the one semester, but I'm wondering if it's a better idea to do a local program. I intend to go on for...

    My favorite is certain family members who call to ask me if their doc is right or not. The problem (other than being beyond my scope) is that they never have their info correct and they start spouting...
