   RAKelleyPN10 replied to KarmaComesAround's topic in General Nursing

   I have those where I work, I don't bother confronting them because they can talk all they like. But I do my job, so just stick your hands on your ears and lah lah lah it! If all else fails confront, and if it goes no where, the DON is your friend.

2. Very Concerned (please read)

   RAKelleyPN10 replied to CuriousGreorge7's topic in General Nursing

   Personally I would avoid the facility and ask for a new assignment, I know from my experience with clinical, Only hospitals and government agencies (MRDD) required a background check so you should be okay. Just don't do it again and learn from your m...

3. How do you know if I am Gay or Straight?

   RAKelleyPN10 replied to bigrigcowboy's topic in Men

   With me ive had a few classmates ask if I had a GF.. even a coworker, I told them I'm single and uninterested. The coworker got her ear told off by me and thus my reply to this is usually "It shouldn't matter what my orientation is, I am here first a...

4. Crazy med pass +

   RAKelleyPN10 replied to NamasteNurse's topic in Geriatric

   They defiantly need to get more staff! I work Assisted Living and when I first started as a care manager and I head the words "No night nurse in the building" my jaw dropped. We have one on call but seriously what will they do? I want to get into a h...

5. Whats it like being a guy in a female dominated career?

   RAKelleyPN10 replied to Josh_H's topic in Men

   I think a lot of LTC is dominated by female nurses, we have two males in the entire building that is nursing. I am one of them, and I work in an assisted living facility with young girls that only have Home Health Aide Certificates and alot of days t...

6. Long work history in another field and can't get hired as a nurse

   RAKelleyPN10 replied to NickiLPN's topic in Ohio

   That fact went over my head. Its just discouraging and I am in a tight position and you would think facilities would like male help. The place I am at now can only give me a PRN position but I guess that's better than nothing. I would expand in to ho...

7. Long work history in another field and can't get hired as a nurse

   RAKelleyPN10 replied to NickiLPN's topic in Ohio

   This has helped me too because the school I went to doesn't have a very good reputation and even though ive been applying like crazy, most of the jobs have moved from my area, up north. Yea this is a real pain.

   RAKelleyPN10 replied to disney158's topic in Geriatric

   I keep my cellphone on silent, but on me at all times, even though it doesn't do me any good considering I don't get service there but sometimes I get lucky, and I do it in case something goes wrong and I cant leave the room. I mean we have voice mai...

   RAKelleyPN10 replied to junebride's topic in Men

   Im an 18 y/o STNA, and Im not like that at all, the only reason I am in nursing is because I actually give a crap about my residents, I see more of my female colleagues treat their residents with little to none respect. But, I work nights/evenings be...

13. Gay male nurse stereotype?

    RAKelleyPN10 replied to greygooseuria's topic in Male Students

    Ok so I’ve been working in geriatrics as an aide for almost a year now, I only have like six residents who told me upfront that they don’t want me as their aide and I was fine with it. It’s because they are old fashioned, and used to having the femal...
