    Do you "tell" Facebook where you work?

    RN403 replied to RN403's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, yes. I absolutely agree, I will not 'like' posts that contain any of the above mentioned things. I also tend to get rid of people who excessively post such things. I don't want my name linked to...

    Do you "tell" Facebook where you work?

    RN403 replied to RN403's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, I love the anonymity of AN. However, I am still super cautious of what I post. It is interesting though, to think about how many of us walk past each other each day and don't even know! I was...

    Starting and Studying for NCLEX

    RN403 replied to HakunaMatata<3's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I started studying after graduation. School was more than enough to worry about for me...didn't need the added work. I studied a little over a month prior to taking boards. Some people say they...

    Failing with 265q. Lack of content or strategy?

    RN403 replied to tatanata's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Of course everyone's situation varies but from what I understand if you receive all 265 Qs then you were close to passing the whole time. To me, this indicates that you probably knew your content and...

    Got Told I am Slow in Receiving Report

    RN403 replied to jes07's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hmm, slow in receiving report? Maybe because you are new or maybe you take your time to really listen to and understand what is being said, so that you can safely care for your patients.

    Question

    RN403 replied to VampyrSlayer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the PP, however, during nursing school I bought NCLEX books to go with each area we were learning. This helped me prepare for NS exams and helped me get used to NCLEX style questions...

    Do you "tell" Facebook where you work?

    RN403 replied to RN403's topic in General Nursing

    Your security manager is very wise. I have very few FB friends because I actually know all of them in "real life" if I don't have a real relationship with you, then you don't need to be in my personal...

    RN403 replied to RN403's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, my. That is really something else...if someone really wants to find you they can. Even though my FB is locked down, I am still very cautious of what I post. I just don't believe FB is as private...

    First Time CPR Certification

    RN403 replied to NiftyGirl2014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I took my initial course they sent a booklet in the mail to look over prior to class. Do you know if they are doing that? If not, it's no big deal. You might get one the day of the class. Truly,...

    HS Grad, looking forward to becoming a Neonatal Nurse

    RN403 replied to Betchaaa's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I'll bite and answer the few questions that I can. First off, you might try to shadow a NICU/Neonatal Nurse to ensure that is truly what you want to do. Sometimes people do not realize what all goes...

    any advice?

    RN403 replied to jlynn167's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with emtb2rn...think about the thyroid for example, what is its purpose? Now what if you had "too much thyroid" (hyper)? Too little? What symptoms would arise in these cases? Here is a thread...

    Do you "tell" Facebook where you work?

    RN403 replied to RN403's topic in General Nursing

    I respect your opinion and can definitely see things from your POV. At one point in time I didn't understand the fascination at all, still kind of don't, but...while I don't post much on my personal...

    Do you "tell" Facebook where you work?

    RN403 replied to RN403's topic in General Nursing

    You bring up a very good and true point, though. You never know whose presence you are in when you are out in public. "That stranger over there" could easily be a future patient or even a future...

    RN403 replied to RN403's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen a few people with a professional and personal FB and I think it is a great idea. I always felt uncomfortable adding co-workers, especially if they're just acquaintances. Not just because...
