    FLAME ON!

    kbrn2002 replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    Oh gosh, where to begin? The most aggravating...it's my DREAMMMMMM to be a nurse, but I've failed xyz class and my CI is a bully. Can I pass??? Or the does the Pearson Vue trick work? By far the...

    What is a Nurses Calling?

    kbrn2002 replied to hopepedersen87's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing doesn't have to be a calling. For some it truly might be, but for some of us it's just a job. Probably for most of us it's a career. Something we are good at that gives us at least some small...

    Give an example of a difficult decision you've made

    kbrn2002 replied to j0yegan's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Will you hire me for the job if I answer the way you want? What's the pay? How much vacation time will I get? Oh, and by the way I can't work any nights, weekends or holidays including my birthday...

    why do nurses need to be licensed?

    kbrn2002 replied to Infofreak411's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Huh, wonder why that happens? The quote in question is from the OP, not you. I went back to it and checked to be

    Your opinion on degrees.

    kbrn2002 replied to Kaitybar7's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on where you live and where you would like to work. In some areas jobs are readily available with an ADN, in other areas if you want to work, especially in acute care i.e. the hospital...

    People really need to stop coming into nursing

    kbrn2002 replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, 32:1 is pretty insane. It's 24:1 for me, and it's doable, barely. If one or God forbid two things go south in a shift, I'm screwed. Impossible to catch up when things don't run smoothly. ps...

    People really need to stop coming into nursing

    kbrn2002 replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    So I take it I should just keep ignoring the "Florida Nurses" recruitment emails I get at least twice a week. I've never been there, but I figured the state must be desperate for nurses to keep...

    Same here...as in not being literal. Too bad sarcasm and humor don't translate well when

    why do nurses need to be licensed?

    kbrn2002 replied to Infofreak411's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Wow! I did not know this. Never thought I would have to question if an attorney actually passed the bar exam before hiring

    The Snow Day Thread!

    At this rate you'll be making up snow until July! Is there a point where the district stops requiring make-up

    Should I quit nursing school?

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

    I can usually figure the real meaning behind auto correct errors, but I admit this one is beyond me. Please respond poster and tell us what you really

    kbrn2002 replied to TexMex22's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe just poor wording? i agree with Ruby, you don't graduate with an RN license. You graduate with a nursing degree, the registered part of RN doesn't come until you pass the NCLEX and your license...

    Medication Error - 53 is this for me

    kbrn2002 replied to Mindfulone1's topic in Patient Medications

    As the pens aren't labeled there is no way to really confirm the "right patient" once it is in your hand. As long as it was the right med, right dose and given to the patient requiring this med, which...

    The Snow Day Thread!

    kbrn2002 replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Probably a silly question, but since I'm not a school nurse I have to ask. What happens to those kids? Is there somebody at the school even if it's closed to make sure they are inside and safe until...

    The Snow Day Thread!

    kbrn2002 replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Yeah, backlash is coming! There's going to be some ticked off parents that sent to their kid to school without knowing that they changed their minds and guess what...no

    What was your first post? Do you remember

    kbrn2002 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    OK, I got curious and looked up my first post. It's kind of funny because other than the numbers, this is pretty much the same as current posts on the same topic...this thread was titled "what are you...

    kbrn2002 replied to dorkiexcici's topic in General Students

    Does every program have at least one clinical instructor like this? I graduated many moons ago and the same thing happened to a student in my cohort. She failed out her last semester through no fault...
