    AmyRN303 replied to hnt1987's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Student Uniforms

    AmyRN303 replied to lepew's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Our school used to wear white pants and switched to ceil tops/navy pants. White shoes required. It is quite difficult to find white sneakers, but most of us found nurse type clogs/shoes. Mine were a...

    Parents who decide to pursue the difficult task of nursing school (Rant)

    AmyRN303 replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in General Students

    For me, my kids were a driving factor to excel in school. I went into nursing school for me: it's something I've always wanted, and I was determined to do it. My children kept me going on those not so...

    AmyRN303 replied to Katbird2014_RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It sounds like you have a good plan and reasonable expectations. I finished 75 in under an hour and frankly, I wanted to vomit when the screen shut off. I've always had good grades, and always tested...

    AmyRN303 replied to Katbird2014_RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used Saunders NCLEX books for question practice, LaCharity for PDA, and I bought the three week of the NCSBN Learning Extension for good measure. I did a ton of practice questions. Day before the...

    KNOWING about that 'bad' teacher...

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

    I'd take it with a grain of salt. The teachers who actually get reviewed on those type of sites are not usually reviewed by the students that appreciated them, they're usually the ones ticked off...

    AmyRN303 replied to UpennRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Fainting Nurses

    AmyRN303 replied to SScott2809's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Eat, eat, eat. It sounds as if that is a factor here. Even if its just to jam a quick protein/carb bar in your mouth, do it. And don't ever go to a clinical hungry.....that may be the day lunch is...

    Pre-reqs need advice

    AmyRN303 replied to angela82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Neither was a pre-req for micro at my school, but they each require a decent amount of prep and study. It depends on your course load and how well you tend to do in biological sciences. I'm certain I...

    difficulty in getting dialysis nurse job

    AmyRN303 replied to thomas76's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    FransBevy, maybe it's because I'm a new grad that I'm confused, but why on earth would a LTC nurse call dialysis if a pt pooped his/her pants en route to her facility? To

    Acidic Posting

    AmyRN303 replied to NurseGuyBri's topic in General Nursing

    There's definitely a difference between being direct (and not hand holding)and being mean or offensive. I value the first; I don't well tolerate the second. I'm fairly new to regular posting here, and...

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