    Paramedics in the hospital setting

    AmyRN303 replied to Ellekat2's topic in Rural

    I grasp your questions well. I read OP's post. I simply did not respond to OP. Again, your tone is rude. I'm out. I have no desire to be in a toe to toe whizzing

    Paramedics in the hospital setting

    AmyRN303 replied to Ellekat2's topic in Rural

    First, don't insult my intelligence. Second, I wasn't responding to the OP's question, as I don't live in his/her state. I was addressing your tone, which has been repeated on every paramedic thread...

    Paramedics in the hospital setting

    AmyRN303 replied to Ellekat2's topic in Rural

    Respectfully, Esme never said that nurses are better than paramedics, or that nurses should try to make the scope of practice for paramedics. She also stated that only docs give paramedics orders, as...

    Today I made a big mistake.

    AmyRN303 replied to student-rn's topic in General Students

    Our instructors, whether first semester or last semester, were required to be present in the patient's room while we gave meds. We had the fear of God put in us prior to our first med pass that under...

    Is it possible

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

    To clarify, someone vomited on the shift prior to yours, the 3-11 staff didn't clean it up. You arrived late for your shift and didn't clean up the vomit on your shift but waited until the morning to...

    "Recording lecture reinforces weakness."

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

    Our instructors encouraged us to record lectures if we were auditory learners. I'm not, but there were a lot of recorders in my class. This seems

    Growing Up Unvaccinated

    AmyRN303 replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The plural of "anecdote" is not "data". I see this everyday on social media and, unfortunately, in my own family. One can lead a horse to science, but one cannot make it drink. I have, however, seen...

    How much was your book set?

    AmyRN303 replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    They're quite pricey. They're even pricier when they switch curriculum midway through the program. If they're using the same books, I'd look around for a new graduate to purchase from, though likely...

    Soap vs Wipes

    AmyRN303 replied to busymamaof3's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The body wash soap feels very different than the bar soap and rinses better, in my opinion. We used to do baths in a bag so as not to contaminate basins. Not as great as a shower, no, but definitely...

    NCSBN NCLEX-RN Review (Failed first time)

    AmyRN303 replied to atom2013's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    They cover everything and have helpful links to terminology, pharmacy, etc. the review is comprehensive. As I mentioned, I used it for a couple of things as a refresher, and then did all the tests and...

    NCSBN NCLEX-RN Review (Failed first time)

    AmyRN303 replied to atom2013's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I passed in 75. The questions were very similar to those on NCLEX in style and difficulty. I used a bit of the review for things I needed review in, but mainly used the questions at the

    Help! NCLEX tomorrow and I am super nervous!

    AmyRN303 replied to pat510's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Do some active relaxing....many of the resources suggested not doing questions/studying the night before/day of. Getting a good night's sleep is important: you're not likely to actually learn anything...

    Soap vs Wipes

    AmyRN303 replied to busymamaof3's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If it is your facility's policy to use soap, I don't see how she has a leg to stand on. All of the facilities I've been in have used soap for bed baths. I can understand using wipes for peri care not...

    AmyRN303 replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't be bummed.....be motivated! If it's what you really want, then do it! I know it's difficult. I had so many people tell me I was crazy, but it was what I needed to

    AmyRN303 replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went back to school full time at age 36 as a single mom of four, and all my family lived out of state. My kids at the time were 5,7,9 and 11. They did not suffer in the least from my going back to...
