    FLAME ON!

    kbrn2002 replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a sucker for these. I always just HAVE to click on it, at least to see what the heck the OP needs HEELLPP!

    FLAME ON!

    kbrn2002 replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    OK Ruby, guess it wasn't pulled. I found it. https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-student/drunk-and-high-962946.html hope we don't get this thread shut down because I linked

    FLAME ON!

    kbrn2002 replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    That was classic. If I remember right they were all drunk except the OP and her buddy, yet apparently nobody else noticed. There's another one not too long ago with a nurse who never witnessed this...

    2 week notice necessary?

    kbrn2002 replied to v412's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, give a minimum of two weeks notice. But if you think any new job you take will not be money driven I think you will be in for a rude awakening. Health care is a big for profit business, hard to...

    Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    kbrn2002 replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm with you. White and gold [at least I like that color better, so therefor it must be the right answer]. That makes about as much scientific sense as some of the arguments against vaccines I've had...

    Hit in the groin during clinicals

    Oh my! Ouch! I am a girl and I cringed at that. The bed attachment must have hurt like

    Bats close hospital

    kbrn2002 replied to nerdtonurse?'s topic in General Nursing

    This thread is three years old...how did I miss it?? And where were all the expected remarks from and about the crusty old bat society? Sheesh..talk about a missed

    Lost my head and quit without notice

    kbrn2002 replied to catlvr's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well if you submitted your resignation then it was submitted. I don't think they can refuse to accept it. How did they plan on enforcing you to keep working? Not that you would ever want to work...

    I passed my boards for third time

    kbrn2002 replied to jenni23's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Giggle...I'm sure it's a typo but I was wondering why on earth you keep taking the test if you already passed twice. Anyway, check with your BON first to see if this is covered. Especially look at...

    Do You Ever Ignore Your Employer's VM When They Try to Call You In?

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

    Insane! No way would I attend a disciplinary meeting for not answering a phone call on my time off. Unless of course I am being paid to answer the phone, but no...not gonna happen. Nobody is ever...

    I think I might be in the wrong field

    kbrn2002 replied to ptrang1987's topic in General Students

    Wow! No wonder you are stressed and second guessing yourself! If I am understanding you correctly, you are taking what is normally a 4 year BSN degree and stuffing it into 15 months? Is this a regular...

    How old is too old to pursue an MSN?

    kbrn2002 replied to Ancientnurse18's topic in General Nursing

    Easy answer is your never too old. Harder answer is can you afford it? If you need to continue working at your current position to make ends meet it might not be the best financial decision to take on...

    People really need to stop coming into nursing

    kbrn2002 replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    I have also worked with some young nurses who were forgetful and could not [or would not] do the physical work and more than one that made frequent med errors. These are the exceptions but it does...

    FLAME ON!

    kbrn2002 replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I just shook my head at that one too. Any thread in that vein hits me the wrong way. Any degree, not just nursing takes work and sacrificing some personal "me" time for success. The majority of...

    Car

    kbrn2002 replied to MyNiche's topic in Home Health

    In a winter weather region I personally wouldn't even look at a car. A small to mid size SUV or crossover has much better ground clearance. The extra height is also nice for seeing over and around...

    FLAME ON!

    kbrn2002 replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't even think about the credit processing part of it! Just assumed it was all computerized I guess. If nothing else all those trying to scam the system with bogus credit card info at least are...

    FLAME ON!

    kbrn2002 replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, you are not in the minority at all. Hence the controversy I think. Personally I agree with you. Even if the trick works it seems like cheating the system to make sure you don't lose out on...

    I think I might be in the wrong field

    kbrn2002 replied to ptrang1987's topic in General Students

    This! You are only in your first semester. If you are already having serious doubts about your choice it may be time to figure out that Plan C before you invest a bunch more time and

    What is a Nurses Calling?

    kbrn2002 replied to hopepedersen87's topic in General Nursing

    umm..how the heck did who do what? The quote function would be very useful in this

    Nurses req. to be CNA's before becoming a Nurse?

    kbrn2002 replied to Phoenix16, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I believe it is certainly helpful to have the background as a CNA but not absolutely necessary. CNA work not only prepares the future nurse with hands on experience in basic skills it also teaches...

    FLAME ON!

    kbrn2002 replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    well, short explanation: it used to be that due to a glitch in the program one could log into the Pearson Vue website after taking the NCLEX and try to reschedule the exam. If you passed you got the...

    FLAME ON!

    kbrn2002 replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    Au Contraire...the title of this thread is after all "Flame on" so it seems this is the perfect time to let your vitamin B flag

    Should I quit nursing school?

    kbrn2002 replied to mara.bug's topic in General Students

    Thanks, and that clears up one confusing one. Good heavens, you mean I not only have to figure out computer keyboard auto corrects, but voice too? The quote I was actually referring to was this:...
