1. Severe Concerns..or over reacting?

   kitten77 replied to blueapples's topic in General Nursing

   You are not over reacting. It is good to know new people in the field of patient care have enough smarts & concern for their fellow man to worry about these conditions. If I were you I would worry about being sued for some action you were not i...

2. My New Nurse Wake-Up Call; Shocking Behaviors

   kitten77 replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

   I am a black sheep here. Just to be honest, with one or twenty one years of experience I would never say "gentle" while any physician is in the process of doing anything with a patient.

   kitten77 replied to sweetieann's topic in General Nursing

   I am an LVN but just had to reply to your post. I think what you are experiencing is natural. When you are done with your program You can decide where to work and which shift! If you feel the whole "nursing" thing is not jiving with what you actual...

6. made a big mistake in clinical.... now what?

   kitten77 replied to luv2shopp85's topic in General Nursing

   Just another note. Besides this incident, if you are in any danger of failing clinical I would quietly approach my instructor and ask them how you can be a better nursing student. I would tell them I respect their opinion and value their imput, eve...

7. made a big mistake in clinical.... now what?

   kitten77 replied to luv2shopp85's topic in General Nursing

   I commend you for being honest about your actions! I, as someone else mentioned, would not blame this on ADD or anything else. This could, and, (I bet my license on this) will be used against you in more ways than one. I commend you for addressing...

8. Freaking out and Idk what to do........

   kitten77 replied to FoxyRoxy21's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Those topics are tough. On my cable they have educational programs which highlight exactly what you are doing. The Standard Devients (company name) sells great video tapes (their customer service is horrible, try to get them on E bay or something) ...

9. Morally What would you do?

   kitten77 replied to GeriatricSunshine's topic in General Nursing

   Above all, we are human. We can talk all day about legalities but won't. I think it is a shame the nurse could not have an open mind during this rare circumstance.

10. Sick of working short

    kitten77 replied to kristi-lpn2's topic in General Nursing

    My heart goes out to you. I just want to mention a few things. Some states have patient to nurse ratios (I respect the fact this won't help you just this minute) these rules set by the state are good to know about. Like someone mentioned I, too, w...

    I came upon your post and just had to ask where you applied. I live in Woodland Hills and have applied to Moorpark & LA County. I am just curious. I am an LVN, are you as well?

14. Info about California DESPERATELY Needed

    kitten77 replied to slapsilly's topic in California

    I don't mean to offend anyone out there but that area of Oakland is very rough. Bart is great transportation (I commuted from the Rockridge area of Oakland to UCSF Med Center for 5 years), even on weekends but I would NOT recommend this alone, late ...

15. GCC & PCC advice

    kitten77 replied to vickim's topic in California

    My friend applied to Glendale and Pasadena. She got accepted to Glendale (she was accepted by luck/lottery) about two months after applying & loves their program. I agree with the other poster, I would apply to both just to be sure. Best wishe...
