  1. Nurses Eating Their Young

    KelRN24 replied to Doc Lori, R.N.'s topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I totally agree with Ruby Vee....it also has been my experience that there has been a shift in nursing - to some extent gone are the days where people chose to be a nurse becasue they had a desire to...

  2. Nurses Eating Their Young

    KelRN24 replied to Doc Lori, R.N.'s topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nurse Smiley and others, my CNO is in the midst of getting that book out to the clinical leadership for us to read. I have read experts and it sounds

  3. Nurses Eating Their Young

    KelRN24 replied to Doc Lori, R.N.'s topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Great points and it is bas as it sounds...in fact the profession has often joked that nurses eat their young, as if it is a positive thing, a badge of strength and power. I agree that there is a fear...

  4. Male Chest Hair and Scrub Tops

    KelRN24 replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    apparently, tweety men may not have dress codes in all places. and after reviewing the dress code policy in my own facility it is more geared to women than men without stating genders. they only...

  5. Male Chest Hair and Scrub Tops

    KelRN24 replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    i never said that wearing undergarments such as red underwear or no underwear at all was appropriate. i was being realistic; any person, male or female that does not follow the established dress code...

  6. Male Chest Hair and Scrub Tops

    KelRN24 replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    now that is mature. my point is that dress-codes must not have gender biases like they have in the past. men do not take kindly to the mandates that women have had to conform to.

  7. Male Chest Hair and Scrub Tops

    KelRN24 replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    it seems the men balk at being 'made' to wear an undershirt or mandated regarding their uniforms, but they forget that women have been mandated for years to wear certain things or more correctly not...

  8. Should assaults on medical personnel be a Felony Offense?

    KelRN24 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    i too have learned to stay out of the way - when i was newer to ed nursing i was in the middle of the scuffle but now after being kicked in the head, grabbed by a drunk guy who would not let go and...

  9. Should assaults on medical personnel be a Felony Offense?

    KelRN24 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    meeshellrn, it is unfortunate that your employer did not provide the support that you needed. in a time where staffing is critical one would think that supporting staff would be a priority; certainly...

  10. Should assaults on medical personnel be a Felony Offense?

    KelRN24 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    good point avalonlake. i think it is all a matter of context. certainly a medical issue is quite different than that of a beligerent drunk or mean-spirited person that refuses to be cooperative and...

  11. Indiscrete CNAs

    KelRN24 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    chadash makes a good point....and that is why communication is so important. if any staff of any level do not know what the expectation is, then how can they be expected what and what not to say?...

  12. Indiscrete CNAs

    KelRN24 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    i agree with the posts on this thread. not only are patients' right to privacy with their health information being compromised, but can put patients in a position to be harmed or make poor medical...

  13. Finding preceptor for CNS program

    KelRN24 replied to hisblueskies's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    hisblueskies, [color=#483d8b]i am also a cns student and live in an area where cnss are not utilized...yet. but anyway, my instructor/school allows us to work with cnss of course but also mds to get...

  14. Male Chest Hair and Scrub Tops

    KelRN24 replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    this is the funniest thing i have read in a long time that is actually related to nursing!!!!!!! what is worse i totally have been getting visuals in my head of chest hair hanging out of scrub tops!...

  15. What are the worst reasons to get into nursing?

    KelRN24 replied to mayana's topic in General Nursing

    mayana, [color=#483d8b]i can appreciate your interest in nursing and think that some of your personality traits would be 'positives' for beginning a nursing career. having said that i think it is wise...

  16. Different roles for CNS's??? Come on guys share what you do!

    KelRN24 replied to traumaRUs's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    you have written many valid points. i am very fortunate that i attend a school where the np and cns programs are separate and distinct. we may share some core msn courses, but that is the extent of...

  17. Should assaults on medical personnel be a Felony Offense?

    KelRN24 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    i agree - most definitely it should be a felony offense. having been kicked, hit and bitten while working in the ed, not too mention verbally abused, we are often not given adequate protection and...

  18. Funny patient names by nurses

    KelRN24 replied to Kidrn911's topic in Emergency

    We have a frequent flyer family with the little girl named "Amiracle." Most of the names I see I swear are made up because I have never seen any of them in a baby name book! Of course I always...
