1. Easter??

   laKrugRN replied to breane3's topic in General Nursing

   I work in a prison and Easter is not even considered a holiday

2. The HARD Truth for most nurses

   laKrugRN replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Professionalism

   Even the highest most experienced RN is never above wiping a butt. Sorry. I am an RN who truly believes in never losing your skills as a CNA. It's all in the job description. If wiping poo bothers you, are you sure you wanna be a nurse?

3. To tell or not to tell!

   laKrugRN replied to XNavyCorpsman's topic in Relations

   Welcome to nursing! There will always be nurses who break the rules, cut corners, etc. Just do it the RIGHT way yourself and pick your battles. If these nurses are as bad as you say, they are digging themselves a hole and will soon cave in.

4. Please advise me...workplace bullying and gossiping

   laKrugRN replied to SaffireWeldon's topic in LPN/LVN

   I agree with one of the above posters, an RN should be professional and not act that way! I'd approach her like the previous poster said and talk out her issues. Trust me, you'll get some points for having the guts to be mature about it. I hope you c...

5. If you can't pass the NCLEX after three attempts....LVN license only!

   laKrugRN replied to neonurse97's topic in General Nursing

   As an RN who loves her LPN's I find this offensive. basically saying, "oh you're too dumb to pass the NCLEX RN..just be an LPN!" My LPN's know their stuff! C'mon! Ya kidding me?

6. Prison Nursing- what does it involve?

   laKrugRN replied to SuzieVN's topic in Correctional

   Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future. I love being a correctional nurse. This population fascinates me. I am never ever bored in my job. Sure it can be hard, especially when they act up, make vulgar comments etc. But you gotta have st...

7. Can I lose my license???

   laKrugRN replied to Staceyface65's topic in Professionalism

   We've all made mistakes, some cringe worthy..yes. Learn from this. Not sure what you're outcome will be but I am sure you meant no harm at all. Btw. I would change your profile pic to remain more anonymous. Your little one is very cute but a coworker...

8. Nurses smoking e cigs at the station?

   laKrugRN replied to richardgecko's topic in Professionalism

   HAHAHA! I can just picture this...no WAY!

9. How many different nursing positions have you had?

   laKrugRN replied to LittleMissVixen410's topic in General Nursing

   I've been in Pediatrics and now I am in Corrections. I plan on retiring in Corrections.

10. What can I (we) do? RANT

    laKrugRN replied to Lev's topic in Safety

    I agree! I knew hospital/bedisde was not for me. I feel much more like a nurse in the non-hospital setting.

11. Atheist at Catholic hospital

    laKrugRN replied to kaydensmom01's topic in Spirituality

    I did my med-surg clinicals in a Catholic hospital (I am Catholic btw) and besides the crucifix over every patient door, religious pictures and statues in the lobby, and the chapel with the Virgin Mary, I did not feel a religious tone or religions be...

12. Why can't hospitals do better?

    laKrugRN replied to ORNurseCOS's topic in Activism

    Sadly, I feel that healthcare has become a business as opposed to caring for the needs of the sick.

13. HOW I PASSED NCLEX

    laKrugRN replied to tnmatt76's topic in NCLEX

    Cheers!

14. ATI

    laKrugRN replied to LLsrwPedsRN's topic in NCLEX

    I did ATI and I did not think it was similar to NCLEX-RN. I can't speak for PN. I felt the NCLEX-RN was most similar to Kaplan questions.

15. asking a patient if they smoke

    laKrugRN replied to Nellievixxen2017's topic in Relations

    I ask at 13. This is what I was told to do when I worked in the clinic.
