    Amethya replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I had another Kinder one who was jumping around my office one day, kicking in the air and punching. I watched him for a few minutes and he finally noticed me and he just smiles and says, "I'm a POWEAH...

    My apologies to the nursing profession

    Amethya replied to Jon12's topic in General Nursing

    One thing I do is some self talking, because sometimes hearing my thoughts out loud helps me have perspective on my problem. (I do it in private of course.) I also write as someone said, in a journal...

    Vitals question

    Amethya replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Actually I have a binder that tells me what to do for things like that, but doesn't say for vitals. I do know what ranges vitals are acceptable though. The only thing is when to use them, but I got an...

    Vitals question

    Amethya replied to Amethya's topic in School

    PRN or Quit all together

    Amethya replied to LonghornChic's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly how everyone said, that you shouldn't count your chickens before the hatch. See if you get the job first. As for PRN, I would maybe not, especially if your family needs you more now. If the...

    Amethya replied to Amethya's topic in School
