  1. This is why being an LPN is just as good....

    KellNY replied to sassiebaz's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    She's an LPN now.Is she doing like 60 hours per week? If so, I'm not sure that's really safe for her

  2. Pill That Eliminates the Period Gets Mixed Reviews

    KellNY replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Nice to see ya here Viking! I personally think it's a shame that women--and men--are made to feel from the begining (in many cases) that having a period is a horrible, embarassing burden. I'm not...

  3. Question about pulse.

    KellNY replied to eden's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It's not so much the relaxation of those muscles, but the separation that occurs in

  4. I'm a Medications Menace

    KellNY replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Sue-ever considered Assisted Living? Not as crazy (IME) as LTC, and many times the patients do either get better, or at least they lead productive lives (a few still worked part time, many...

  5. Relocating to NY....need help!

    KellNY replied to tsheriff's topic in New York Nursing

    Just a heads up that parts of long island can be over an hour and a half away. The LIJ/NorthShore hospital system may be worth looking

  6. Cursing A Good Samaritan???

    KellNY replied to sissiesmama's topic in General Nursing

    Wow-What a mean person. Sorry you had to deal with that Anne. And i agree that you should report this--chances are the PP is right and they'll have received complaints about that person

  7. Tattoos and nursing

    KellNY replied to PrincessJessica's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. 1st, I'd like to see the research proving that which I bolded--I call BS. Same with the city fire fighter faux "swim test"-every single nyc fire fighter I've ever known (all 16 or so of them)...

  8. Question???????

    KellNY replied to doggybour's topic in New York Nursing

    NYU will NOT hire you without a BSN. Just met up with them at a job fair and talked about this for a little while. (I have my BSN, and NYU is too far for me anyway, but it was an interesting...

  9. Confused with lots of ???

    KellNY replied to kwagner_51's topic in Home Health

    Serious question (not being rude here, I promise), but why aren't you asking your potential employer these questions. We can speculate for you, but they're the only ones who can offer more than that....

  10. Hello Mr. VIP! I'm your servant nurse for the night!

    KellNY replied to SICU Queen's topic in General Nursing

    Very famous piano man "B.J." got himself into a stupid drunk driving accident and was airlifted to the hospital my Grandfather was at. Both were patients in the ER, guess who got all the attention-my...

  11. Partial Birth Abortions--NOT an abortion debate

    KellNY replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure you're not trying to imply that an NSVD is just as risky (or less so) than a c-section. No one said a vag delivery was without risks. But regardless of your personal experiences, medical...

  12. Partial Birth Abortions--NOT an abortion debate

    KellNY replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    This procedure is done "often" on babies with anencephaly and/or severe hydrocephaly (I'm not talking about the kind where you can insert a shunt and the baby can grow up to be a normal healthy...

  13. Foster Care?

    KellNY replied to Susan9608's topic in General Nursing

    Training usually takes weeks or months to become certified, and you'll need at least one homestudy plus a background check. All this varies by state, but I've never heard of a state where these things...

  14. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

    KellNY replied to Freedom42's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    In my state, you can become a medical assistant in a number of ways-you can get your associates degree from the community college, you can go to a vo-tech school, or you can get on the job training....

  15. "problem patient"

    KellNY replied to Nurse2bducky86's topic in General Nursing

    Since he's your only patient--could you try and distract him? Play cards, watch a video, do a cross word puzzle, ask him about politics (let him talk, but I wouldn't share personal beliefs), go...

  16. baby sleeping in same bed as parents

    KellNY replied to SaderNurse05's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you need to dust off that crystal ball of yours.... My former cosleeper is now 8 years old. No teary ending, I can assure

  17. Dealing with female nursing students

    KellNY replied to krazykev's topic in Men in Nursing

    Kevin, I find myself needing to ask you what this has to do with their being female? It sounds like they're just a group of unhappy, vocal, attention seeking and/or jaded people. They don't complain...

  18. Would you join the Army Nurse Corps? Why or Why not?

    KellNY replied to clc19k30's topic in General Nursing

    There's no way I would seriously consider joining any military branch in any capacity. I do not support what is going on in Iraq and would not risk being forced to participate in something I do not...

  19. No more VBACs

    KellNY replied to 33-weeker's topic in Ob/Gyn

    c/s rate is over 25% in America, it's actually pushing 30%. PRIMARY c/s rate is 24%. Both disgusting

  20. Help!! Maternity scrubs?? Are they necessary?

    KellNY replied to RNin2007's topic in General Nursing

    Allowed? They can't not let you, it's discrimination. You're "allowed" to work until the baby slides

  21. You know you're a male RN when......

    KellNY replied to SteveNNP's topic in Men in Nursing

    Oh dear

  22. You know you're a male RN when......

    Ditto

  23. I need help with a crossword puzzle!

    KellNY replied to enfermeiraviki's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My vote is on

  24. Moral Issue Question...

    KellNY replied to Thepreacherswife's topic in General Nursing

    Wow Carol! If there were a "kudos" button here, I'd triple click it! Your whole post was great-but this really stood out to me (I work ob). That, IMO, is very big of you. This whole thread has...

  25. Help!! Maternity scrubs?? Are they necessary?

    KellNY replied to RNin2007's topic in General Nursing
