    Obamacare? what are your thoughts

    AmyRN303 replied to nija315's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I read it. All 50 billion pages of it. (Hyperbole, but that sucker was long) I find it important to be informed, so I do my own

    The Scrubs Issue...

    AmyRN303 replied to GCom24's topic in Men in Nursing

    I can't speak for pants, but the Koi tops fits well for me, and I wear an XS. The Kaitlyn, I believe, has a drawstring tie at the waist and I don't feel like I'm swimming in them. I also like their...

    Is cheating a double standard?

    AmyRN303 replied to 28studentsfailed's topic in General Students

    Here's my story: after my first semester of med/surg, my school changed their med/surg curriculum. That was another $300+on new books, plus a totally different set up as far as structure was...

    If you need careplan help..

    AmyRN303 replied to beckyboo1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Exactly. I was very fortunate in that we had a care plan "seminar" of sorts way back in fundamentals. Our Director of Nursing was adamant that we know the "why" of care plans and how to formulate the...

    Are your choice of scrubs childish?

    AmyRN303 replied to rose89's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    If I worked peds I'd have no problem wearing something geared towards children. That being said, I'm a solids kind of girl, but I like bright colors. I don't find them

    Most comfortable shoes???

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

    The Dansko Pro XP felt great when I tired them on, but not much different from my Pros. I find the footbed in the Alegria Debras I've been wearing for a couple of weeks to be great for arch support...

    Do you want to be jobless after nursing school? I didn't think so...

    AmyRN303 replied to Manny92's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    YOU may know why you do certain things, but it isn't in the PCT scope to need to. Critical thinking and knowledge is certainly not limited to nurses. Though I can't speak for SoldierNurse, I read her...

    AmyRN303 replied to ixchel's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Mine expires on my birthday. Some peeps took NCLEX in February, only to have to renew full boat ($105/yr) a few months later. I took mine a month after my birthday, so my first year is almost covered....

    Whooping cough redux; your story?

    AmyRN303 replied to nurseprnRN's topic in General Nursing

    The CDC website says from 4-20 years, and encourages boosters because of fading immunity. http://www.cdc.gov/pertussis/about/prevention.html When I entered nursing school, I had a TDaP. My physician...

    AmyRN303 replied to jlynn167's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No real way to tell...the PVT is reasonably reliable....Did you try that yet? If you live in a state where quick results are available, you can have the result in 48 hours. Wishing you the

    Pearson Vue woes

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

    Real world as in not a nurse yet, I presume. It's okay to be frustrated, but the email, if you actually sent it as you worded it, was extremely unprofessional. If you react that way to frustration...

    What am I missing here?

    AmyRN303 replied to Cat_RN's topic in Patient Medications

    Perhaps they made an error? 6.75 hours at 60 mL/hr is closer to 400 mL TBI. I'd probably ask for their rationale

    What am I missing here?

    AmyRN303 replied to Cat_RN's topic in Patient Medications

    Maybe they wanted your final answer in hours rather than hours/minutes? I can't see anything that would be

    Why is this question always asked?

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

    I keep reading that as "monkeys". It makes me giggle.

    Why is this question always asked?

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

    Life in general would be a lot better if people on the whole did some due diligence before jumping in and asking questions without doing some research on their own. I see this in my eight year old...

    ABC TV:NY Med shows ER nurse fired due to social media post

    AmyRN303 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    Yes, I was assuming mitral valve too. It just reminded me of my mother in law's med term. :) As for Katie, I wanted a little time to think to see if my gut and my brain matched on my feelings about...

    ABC TV:NY Med shows ER nurse fired due to social media post

    I'm laughing because, well, what's a micro valve? (Quote from Terence Wrong regarding Dr. Oz in that article.) Not weighing in on the Katie Duke firing, but I was really concerned about that aortic...
