    LPN or BSN

    kbrn2002 replied to ahhlexxx3's topic in General Students

    Given your age I would suggest going directly for the BSN. It will give you much more flexibility in your career and will greatly increase your options for management roles if you decide at some point...

    The sloppy image of nurses today

    kbrn2002 replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Looking at OP's thread history I kind of wonder if he and our old friend nursingaround are best buds? Seems to be a similar liking for strange topics. I would think OP that you would be more...

    Is my school weird?

    kbrn2002 replied to sfrgirl's topic in General Students

    Boy, oh boy. If this is the direction schools are going now I am SO glad I went during the dark ages when teachers actually taught. I understand that nursing programs don't really teach you to be a...

    Just self reported

    kbrn2002 replied to Sothisisit's topic in Nurses Recovery

    COBRA is usually crazy expensive so with money being tight that probably won't be the best option. Besides which most employer provided health policies seem to have very limited if any benefits for...

    Crazy teachers

    kbrn2002 replied to Lizzly's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hopefully this will be the only class you have with this instructor. While you are there just keep your head down and learn the material. Don't answer questions directed at the group unless nobody...

    Your monitoring program allow whipits?

    kbrn2002 replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Gosh I'm old...I had NO idea what that was until I clicked on this thread. Sounds like a perfectly ridiculous way to ruin a good can of whipped cream to

    1/9: What I learned this week - Worst. Vagina. EVER.

    kbrn2002 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    If you are that offended by this thread then yes, you may want to rethink visiting us here. The WILTW threads are educating, entertaining, humorous and rarely contentious. Now if you are truly looking...

    sitting with drug seekers.

    kbrn2002 replied to Momof8CNA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    There is a reason these patients require a sitter and unfortunately as the sitter you are the one that gets the grief. It must take the patience of a saint to do that job! Unfortunately I can't think...

    Want to work in hospital to continue education but have a bachelor in something else

    kbrn2002 replied to Up&Away's topic in General Students

    There may be some confusion as to the terminology here. Continuing education is what employers provide to current employees to help them with required CEU's [continuing education units] to maintain...

    Snow, Where Are You?

    kbrn2002 replied to SnowyJ's topic in School

    No kids in school anymore and my job as not a school nurse means I get no benefit from snow days, but my school nurse friends hated last year. No real snow days but several "cold" days pushed the end...

    Charting, done by the amazing psychic nurse

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

    And how exactly do you know this pre-charting was done? Where you there? How do you know they didn't check on him, only to have him commit suicide minutes after they left the room? Why wouldn't he...

    Help! Child/School Conflict

    kbrn2002 replied to on_my_way1478's topic in General Students

    So sorry you and your son are going through this. I am sure it is very scary for both of you. I sincerely hope the juvenile court agrees that there was no malicious intent and decides not to pursue...

    kbrn2002 replied to standupspeakout's topic in General Students

    Just the first sentence of this post is so wrong that I feel I can safely ignore the rest of this frustrated rant. Sorry OP but lawyers and agencies are not protecting the nurse. The lawyers, sure...

    Advice For My Mother, Please!

    kbrn2002 replied to Icarethatsall's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Sorry your Mom went through this. As she is finding out now the consequences are severe. To answer your questions the only recourse I can think of is for her to hire a lawyer ASAP. Especially as she...

    Job abandonment

    kbrn2002 replied to Nurse_CrystalRN's topic in Nursing Career

    The stupid abandonment threat aside...There was nobody else? What about the DON? Last I checked that acronym stands for Director of Nursing which means the crazy boss is a nurse. Sheesh, I can't stand...

    Charting, done by the amazing psychic nurse

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

    This is another one of those grey areas that may have more offenders in some areas of practice than others. I work in LTC with computer EMARS, the crazy amount of silly but according to the powers...

    kbrn2002 replied to %D#2's topic in General Nursing

    So sorry for your loss. I see this was written yesterday so I hope you stood your ground and said no if you didn't feel like going in. Everybody grieves differently. If you need time take it, if you...

    4 traffic tickets in 1 day

    kbrn2002 replied to student789's topic in General Students

    I agree with you on this. Who makes that decision that your nursing license can be in jeopardy because of a "moral turpitude" clause? Whose morals get to make that call? Scary stuff that if the...

    1/9: What I learned this week - Worst. Vagina. EVER.

    kbrn2002 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Another odd observation that I may be totally wrong about, but it seems to me that these CHF gentlemen also usually have proportionately large testicles. Between getting the innie to be an outie and...

    2016 Salary thread

    kbrn2002 replied to kbrn2002's topic in General Nursing

    I understand the wage seems a little low, but working for the State do you get some really good benefits? That factors in to the overall compensation package and makes a little lower wage totally...

    Not sure where you live but around here no lawyer is doing anything for $50 or less. If there is I'd love to have them on speed dial "just in

    Struggling NEW Nurse at LTC with questions

    kbrn2002 replied to rlhightower99's topic in First Year After Licensure

    No doubt! It is pretty funny watching the Administrator, DON and ADON answering call lights and passing trays. I mean state can't possibly be so clueless as to think that's a regular occurrence,...
