    new Ebola patient

    AmyRN303 replied to Mulan's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thanks. I had to go back and look it up, as I'd only heard the news briefly this morning. I firmly believe in the right of people to be able to return home to the U.S. for

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

    If you could wear any scrub?

    AmyRN303 replied to SC APRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Grey's and Koi. I'm 5' tall and the koi pants fit great in petite! The petite Grey's are a titch long on me if I don't wear with dansko clogs

    Nurses Eat Their Young

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

    This isn't my first rodeo. I entered nursing school at 37 years old and worked in other positions in two other fields prior. I can assert that accounting managers, school principals, and kitchen...

    I work on a floor where they seem to threaten leaving AMA for days....then once we have a discharge date semi-solid, they actually do leave. Not before security has been called several times for...

    NCSBN Learning Ext. Opinion

    AmyRN303 replied to JENURSE03_RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used the three week subscription and just did the questions rather than using the modules. The questions are very similar to those seen on nclex. I took as many questions as I could in the three...

    Yale New Haven Hospital Job

    AmyRN303 replied to Kissunshine's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I work in Hartford and that rate is totally sustainable, even for me with children. Just about everywhere in CT is a half hour drive to YNHH, so no need to look in Fairfield county. There are many...

    I'm supposed to what now?

    AmyRN303 replied to jojo489's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I've given it SL for an NPO pt on aspiration precautions. He wasn't yet on hospice, but was awaiting a meeting with them. There isn't a lot of fluid there and with good oral hygiene the risk for...

    Which unit would be good for a RN with ADHD-inattentive to work on?

    AmyRN303 replied to Guest11/16/14's topic in Nursing Career

    I've never been diagnosed, but I have most of the symptoms and have been using coping mechanisms since I was a kid. I'm that hyper focused person when there's a lot of chaos swirling about. I work...

    Camouflage RN

    AmyRN303 replied to lurn1234's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I did that when my youngest had the same reaction. I wasn't yet a nurse, but having a friend whose son ended up with SJS I went a little nuts about putting an allergy in the chart. She was 9 months...

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

    I started nights as a new nurse two weeks ago. We had two months of day orientation and now two months of night orientation, give or take a few days. It's a totally different beast, and I love it....

    Would you feel uncomfortable with your coworkers caring for you?

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

    I hope I never have to be on my floor, as it would mean I was pretty sick. But I'd have no problem having my coworkers be my nurses. They're

    Can job termination occur if nurses do not get the flu shot and refuse to wear a mask

    AmyRN303 replied to helen2346's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't appreciate you misquoting me. I never said "paranoid and flawed commentary". I asked for clarification from you in an earlier post. You can scroll back to the previous page to see what I

    AmyRN303 replied to Guest11/16/14's topic in Nursing Career

    If I were you, I'd try to shadow on a few units I was interested in. That may help you narrow down what kind of nursing would challenge you/fit you best. Good

    Immunizations

    AmyRN303 replied to jacquisosa's topic in General Students

    I had never had Hep B shots since I was an older student. Once I had proof that I'd had the first shot and was in the series that was sufficient to begin classes. I don't know where you are for...

    Nurses hating their job

    AmyRN303 replied to future_nurse11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'll always be able to find someone who hates their job. You'll also always be able to find someone who loves theirs. Guess who talks about it the most? (Hint: read Yelp reviews and see how many...

    AmyRN303 replied to UpennRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new nurse, mom of four, working overnight 12s. Love it. Our hospital has been phasing out 8 hour shifts, though many employees are still working them. I really like my three

    What About Post-Op Bathing?

    AmyRN303 replied to medtech000's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We do give baths daily for our dependent patients. For people who are usually independent in their ADLs, I'd ask if they wanted to wash up, then provide them with a basin, towels,
