1. Prejudice in Nursing

   Kaci82 replied to registerednurse3's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   Just because YOU don't see it does not mean that it doesn't exist. That is a pretty ignorant statement. It's funny to me when white people try to give their two cents to a minority dealing with...

2. Would you accept this call out excuse?

   Kaci82 replied to motherof3sons's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   I'm sorry, but I would be offended if someone told me that my cousin "is not a close enough relative." Who are you to say that? Also, I find you to be very intrusive by asking for such details. It is...

3. Should I be upset? Or am I a Diva?

   Kaci82 replied to U2BCool's topic in First Year After Licensure

   I do not think you are a diva. You have a valid point. Nursing is the only profession where we are not rewarded for our experience, further education and certifications. And many just put up with it...

4. Medical marijuana, role of the nurse, professional organization

   Kaci82 replied to hotflashion's topic in Patient Medications

   OK, I am really curious why you "have nothing but negative comments." Have you done any research at all on the benefits of medicinal

7. My first pedi death

   Kaci82 replied to canesdukegirl's topic in Pediatric

   What you are experiencing is a normal reaction to trauma. Make sure you're taking care of yourself-eating right, drinking water, taking time to relax, spending time w/loved ones, etc. I know that...

8. Seriously?!?!

   Kaci82 replied to emtb2rn's topic in Emergency

   Exactly. If they're drug seeking in the ER, I doubt they're ready for rehab. Plus, it's soooooo difficult to get any sort of CD tx with or without insurance. But that's another

9. Teachers and Nurses create the big one...

   Kaci82 replied to Mindful's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

   That is your opinion-not a fact. In my opinion, nurses overall are way too overworked, underpaid and disrespected. At least my hospital's union looks out for us nurses. And no, I'm not lazy and...

10. Seriously?!?!

    Kaci82 replied to emtb2rn's topic in Emergency

    Yes, because it's so easy to just direct someone to rehab. I'm sorry, but dealing w/an addict is not that

11. SICK of BSN Pedestal

    Kaci82 replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

12. which is harder.. to be a pedi nurse or geriatric?

    Kaci82 replied to BabyRN23's topic in General Nursing

    I cannot comment on geriatrics since I've never worked with that population. However, I give the utmost respect to nurses who do. It has many challenges and setbacks that people don't consider. I've...

13. Who do nurses make more than?

    Kaci82 replied to Amber215's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, first of all you haven't even mentioned saving for your daughter's college or your retirement. I guess material things are too important for all that grownup stuff. But I'm not taking this too...

14. Nurses, how are you going to vote? 2012 US Presidential Election

    Kaci82 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    From lvn2bsoon: What? School board, as in college, I hope! But, you are liberal, so naturally I don't agree. You are against creation and against abstinence? Good, you pay for those teen girl...

15. Peds nurse with no kids

    Kaci82 replied to Kaci82's topic in Pediatric

    I totally take it as a compliment. And it means so much to me for a peds parent to tell me that. They are so protective and concerned for their children, so their words mean a
