    Sexy male scrubs

    kbrn2002 replied to Betenhauser's topic in Men in Nursing

    Probably not. Scrubs are expensive enough as it is, no way does anyone I work with pay extra to have them tailored. That being said, there is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to look your best at...

    No visiting hours?

    kbrn2002 replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    Same here. Some family members are rather surprised when they find out that yes they can stop in after getting off work at 0200 and yes it's ok to bring the family dog to visit as long as the dog is...

    Pay grade: experienced nurse vs new grad

    kbrn2002 replied to rehric00's topic in General Nursing

    As hard as it would be to give up 20 years of accumulated benefits at that point I think I would have to insist on a raise or walk. And really be prepared to follow through with that threat and walk...

    Please don't call me Dude

    kbrn2002 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    same here from the female perspective. Please, call me dude..it's WAY better than ma'am. I took a vacation in the south this spring, I've never been ma'am'ed so much in my

    Nude nurse goes nutty

    kbrn2002 replied to chopwood carrywater's topic in General Nursing

    "The nurse apparently decided to take off her clothes and not act normally," ...well, did the officer expect that she would take off her clothes and just continue on in her job acting otherwise...

    Working as a CNA/PCA do you feel able to make a living?

    kbrn2002 replied to WCSU1987's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    $26/hr as a CNA??? Cripes, I'd love to know what the nurses there

    Quit during orientation

    kbrn2002 replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    I'll try to keep the criticism to a minimum here. The most obvious point [which I'm sure others have pointed out] is that you were hired to work there as a tech, which from your job description sounds...

    Pay grade: experienced nurse vs new grad

    kbrn2002 replied to rehric00's topic in General Nursing

    Pretty common and it stinks. As others have said companies keep raising base pay to get new people in the door without raising the pay for those above the entry level so pretty soon the new hires are...

    BE HONEST! What part of your job do you hate?

    kbrn2002 replied to Cheers_G's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I voted smells because that is the worst for me from your list. But if you had included as options stupid administrative crap and senseless duplicate, triplicate or more charting I guarantee those...

    ADN vs BSN Battle

    kbrn2002 replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    There are valid reasons for obtaining either degree. If you are fortunate enough to live in an area that regularly hires ADN prepared nurses and you have no aspirations towards career advancement that...

    What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

    kbrn2002 replied to fangirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I work in LTC so there are just too many insults to list. Very few if any of us are offended as they usually come from elderly folks with at least some dementia....or they are just mean old people...

    You will all probably hate me for this

    kbrn2002 replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    Actually they do. I remember those paper cuts fondly. Don't get so much anymore as as I haven't been a student in ages. Not to mention almost all of our paperwork is now computerized and even most of...

    does every rn out there hate their job? sonography/x-ray tech instead?

    kbrn2002 replied to Bailando's topic in General Nursing

    I am a nurse in LTC. Do I love my job? Some days yes. Some days I hate it! But that being said I think every job in every field is like that. For any job there are good days and bad days. Please don't...

    what form of license to expect

    kbrn2002 replied to 01khakizz's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, that was the old days. I have my original wall certificate around somewhere. WI stopped sending wallet cards a while back. If you want a wallet card you can print it yourself from the Dept of...

    Thinking about All Nurses....

    kbrn2002 replied to pixiestudent2's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, AN occasionally creeps into real life. I found myself referring to a know it all already student as a "special snowflake." Never heard that term anywhere else but here and got a couple strange...

    Sure there have been some threads that resulted in some not so nice responses. Heck, I may have even given some of those not so nice responses. But these threads pretty much ask for that type of...

    HELP: How Extensive Are Hiring Background Checks?

    kbrn2002 replied to khaleesikitten's topic in General Students

    Honestly what do you think the odds are of a nursing manager recognizing her? For her to be recognized the hiring manager had to have been on her website to know who she is. Odds are very slim of this...

    Scientific or paranormal explanation?

    kbrn2002 replied to Mavrick's topic in General Nursing

    Agree that is unfortunate. Try to cover the Seahawks sticker with something more appropriate...like a Packers stickers
