    Why is this question always asked?

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

    I believe RNsRWe was responding to the daily influx of people posting something along the lines of "OMG, I take NCLEX in a month! Kaplan or NCSBN? Help!!!!" type of short posts which appear daily. I...

    child safety

    AmyRN303 replied to amoLucia's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    People do need to put the phones down, definitely. Not always the cause, but in general, in life, (and I can speak for myself) sometimes we are too glued to it to see what is going on around us. Now,...

    Why is this question always asked?

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

    I try. But being that older student, with life experience, really changed my perspective. I definitely would have been a different student/nurse at age 22, graduating from my first university of...

    AmyRN303 replied to Omgseriously's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Well, you kinda came in guns a'blazin for your first post here. Nursing experience aside, SubSippi has been playing nicely in the sandbox here for a couple of years. It's a little quick to be making...

    Posting Licensed Number in social media

    AmyRN303 replied to nomad29's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I've seen that on Ellen too. Maybe my age is showing, but I'd be mortified at most of them. My Facebook posts are limited to cool scientific journal articles, silly videos of my kids, and quotes from...

    I don't understand why anyone would post it on social media, but it is easily accessible public

    "Dear Nurses: Please Forgive Me" : A Response

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

    Her examples aren't "overidentifying" as you put it, but instances for advocacy. Maybe you should hang out and browse and lurk before you come in guns

    "Dear Nurses: Please Forgive Me" : A Response

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

    In the words of Katie Duke, OP, Get over it. I suggest that because it isn't about us. Sure, I've seen some over the brink family members before, and I'd guess we all have at some point. But a day in...

    Which inhaler needs to be given first?

    Quite possibly....I read it again and see how that could have been the meaning. That being said, that doesn't seem to be appropriate to put in a patient's

    AmyRN303 replied to aly512's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Think in priorities. I hate these scenarios because the guy isn't sitting in front of you (the general "you") and you need to "see" this guy to put it together. So picture him in your head. Young guy,...

    Is it time to give up?

    AmyRN303 replied to Toaster's topic in Canada

    So many of us didn't have it figured out at 21, and so many of us had other plans at 21. You're the only one who can make the decision, but don't feel pinned into anything you don't feel a drive...

    Doing Away with LPN?

    AmyRN303 replied to chuchii's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I've been hearing that for years, and believe its more of an urban legend than truth. In my area, LPNs are not utilized in the hospital setting as they used to be, but there are many LPNs in other...

    My mom doesn't believe in me.

    I agree with Esme. This could be coming from so many places....mom wants to protect you from the stress she imagines you would face, or perhaps she is concerned about what will happen to your...

    Ignore the Question Number!

    AmyRN303 replied to Salimah902's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good advice. I'd also suggest that future exam takers take 265 questions at a time when prepping for the exam, just in case. In school, you might not be subjected to such a long exam so it gives you...
