    If you could go back and choose....

    AmyRN303 replied to Ndnrnbsn's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new nurse, but I'd still be a nurse. I'd have done it a whole lot earlier in life

    how to get a "A" every time

    AmyRN303 replied to kevindgalloway's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Figure out how you learn best and retain the information, then stick to it for every

    Keep my cell phone......or landline

    AmyRN303 replied to Vwpenn's topic in General Nursing

    I have no problem with mass texts. That being said, if I were on vacation, I wouldn't answer requests to come in. If someone has to pull a schedule, they'll see you're on vacation. Like Commuter said,...

    I came down with suspected C diff

    AmyRN303 replied to artistnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Did they do a culture? You should know you're definitely negative before heading back to

    Quickest/best way to become a nurse and make money during the process - HELP!

    AmyRN303 replied to guest829834's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree entirely. Most of the new grads I was hired with got their BSNs while living at home and working as PCTs on the floor. They completed an internship at our hospital and were hired as RNs once...

    Nursing and the Ebola Virus

    AmyRN303 replied to 0.adamantite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm a little curious as to what the decontamination regimen looks like for the plane and transport to the hospital. I'm confident that Emory is the right place for these patients, as it is a...

    ECCO tips

    AmyRN303 replied to delphine22's topic in MICU, SICU

    I've been taking copious notes and am halfway through ECCO training this week. I've completed a little more than 50 % of the modules and have written probably 50 pages of notes. Writing down info...

    Yale New Haven Hospital and Bridgeport CT area hispital starting salaries

    AmyRN303 replied to SkinyWinky's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Their official stance is no, even for employees who have worked there for X number of years. I do know one of my classmates with an ADN was hired on as a nurse though, so there could be extenuating...

    Word crimes! (No txtng)

    AmyRN303 replied to nurseprnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I saw this last week. And have been watching it over and over again. :) I also like his parody of Lorde's "Royals" : "Foil". Many uses for that, including wrapping leftovers and making

    Case Study #3

    AmyRN303 replied to emtb2rn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Dantrolene. I remembered it then googled to check

    Good Nursing Books

    AmyRN303 replied to englishgeek's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Tilda Shalof is great. I also loved "Trauma Junkie" by Janice

    Danskos hurt my feet :(

    AmyRN303 replied to alaina.barton's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm a 7 US and wear a 38. I have the oiled black nappa style. I found that the patent ones felt tighter to me at first, though I'd imagine they'll break in. Sounds like you need a size

    If you werent a nurse, what other career would you do?

    AmyRN303 replied to RNtobe23's topic in General Nursing

    Microbiologist. Though maybe I'd restore old houses in my spare

    Bullying - What is it?

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

    Have you been a teacher, a pharmacist or a doctor? I don't mean to be rude, I'm legitimately asking as you specifically mentioned them. I've worked in accounting, and been a teacher. Those are my only...

    Bullying - What is it?

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

    If it is one person, maybe they're just not a very nice person. I know a few people who constantly are like this. They're just rude people, as they aren't even

    Dansko vs Sanita?

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

    That's interesting. I didn't find much of a difference in Sanita to Dansko. I've definitely rolled my ankle in my Danskos before. I have no personal interest (financially) in advocating Alegria, but I...

    Bullying - What is it?

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

    My answers would be: 1: rude behavior. Not necessary, but not bullying. 2: breach of company policy and unacceptable. Don't know that I'd call it bullying, but I'd call it being a jerk. 3:again, jerky...

    Abuse at school

    AmyRN303 replied to jdoezer's topic in General Students

    I think the disconnect here is that you posted about alleged abuse and haven't shared instances. The word "bullying" is bandied about a lot, and often it's a subjective opinion. I think if you were to...

    Inherit the Wind redux

    AmyRN303 replied to nurseprnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Funny to read, but hey, is it really that far off of the possibilities of the precedent set

    Abuse at school

    AmyRN303 replied to jdoezer's topic in General Students

    What kind of abuse are you talking about

    How to tell people your child got lice

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

    I'd just tell them. My daughter was a lice magnet one year in school (long curly fine blonde hair that we washed daily.......perfect target!) and I had to notify a ton of people repeatedly that year....

    Engraving on stethoscope - yay or nay?

    AmyRN303 replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Students

    I didn't engrave mine because of the warranty. That being said, I don't take mine off my neck, so I'm going with an ID tag and crossing my fingers it doesn't grow legs and jump off my shoulders

    Shoes

    AmyRN303 replied to NRRN,IWP's topic in General Students

    Depends on your budget, your feet, and what white shoes constitutes to your school. I had a pair of fairly inexpensive Landau clogs that got me through clinicals. If I had to wear them longer than one...

    Nurses Share Your Empowering Scriptures :)

    AmyRN303 replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Matthew 7:1-2 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." That sucker has kept me off...

    Why is this question always asked?

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

    It's fine in my estimation to ask questions, and fine to offer hints and suggestions. The thing that is irksome is that people seem to put all their eggs in the basket of test prep, and rather than...
