  1. Anyone doing Curves?

    KellNY replied to nurseaboveboard's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I don't do curves because I don't agree with where the owner/ceo (whatever the business title is) donates some of the profits, so I wouldn't feel right having my money go there. BUT, I did a local...

  2. Drug testing?

    KellNY replied to Mike1974's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm against drug testing for a number of reasons (I don't think it's anyones business if Nurse X took a vicodin last night for her bad back, for example). Me being afraid of getting nabbed is not one...

  3. Drug testing?

    KellNY replied to Mike1974's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, you are wrong. There have been a few of us who are against routine drug testing that have already clarified that they do not do drugs. I'm Ms. Organic, Natural blah blah blah. It takes a heck of...

  4. Drug testing?

    KellNY replied to Mike1974's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school required one of 3 things as far as Hep B goes Proven immunity (via titres) Accepting the series of vaccination Documentation of your "refusal" (ie, sign a form that you decline)The...

  5. BSN vs Bachelor's + RN School

    KellNY replied to jjjoy's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Very true. I forgot about those. :) But IMO, any BSN degree should cover the management/research stuff because as a BSN, you're qualified to perform those "duties", so even a basic overview is...

  6. BSN vs Bachelor's + RN School

    KellNY replied to jjjoy's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    What sense does that make? How is having an RN who also has their bachelors degree in, say marketing...any mopre beneficial than an ADN? Do you realize that the BSN courses differ from the ADN...

  7. Home Births w/o CNM or doctor-

    KellNY replied to SueBee RN-BSN's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Just wanted to note that there is a large following of Free Birth (or Unassisted Childbirth). It is not always awful and dangerous, and many if not most of the women who make this decision do so in...

  8. Do you have time to cut diabetic toenails?

    KellNY replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Which is one of the reasons I didn't feel super comfy in AL. They seem to think that because they are not a LTC or acute facility that they don't need to follow basic health rules. Black cat, I would...

  9. Are LPN's really nurses in the eyes of RN's

    KellNY replied to LUVyourCNA's topic in General Nursing

    No, you're wrong.In ALL places, a licensed practical NURSE are nurses. They may be nurses with limited opportunity to decide on the final care plans of the patient, but they certainly are nurses....

  10. Are LPN's really nurses in the eyes of RN's

    KellNY replied to LUVyourCNA's topic in General Nursing

    disregard

  11. Male ED nurses in the GYn room

    KellNY replied to CatintheER's topic in Emergency

    To attempt to pay a nurse $20 to do what is part of his/her job is unprofessional. If I (a female) had heard you say this, my hand would have been out in a second. And if I were not offered that same...

  12. cosmetic surgery

    KellNY replied to pinaypower's topic in General Nursing

    Ooh! I may PM you (this is what I plan on having after I pop out my last little

    KellNY replied to rnWinn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There's a sticky which talks about all the things an OB nurse might do on a daily

  15. Are LPN's really nurses in the eyes of RN's

    KellNY replied to LUVyourCNA's topic in General Nursing

    To me they're considered a nurse. Why? Um...because they're a licensed practical NURSE. Not being sarcastic, just not sure how else to explain

  16. What color of suit to purchase for job interview?

    KellNY replied to krazykev's topic in Men in Nursing

    While that's true, 1st impressions do make a difference, and looks are a HUGE part of that. Take into account the fact that fat people with the same qualifications are dismissed more readily than...

  17. Do nurses do it all?

    KellNY replied to babyjen's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ehhh...depends on where you work. In a community hospital, where a lot of the docs are just chilling at home or whatever, then nurses catch the babies more often. At a teaching hospital where there...

  18. Why aren't MA's licensed?

    KellNY replied to Kwality's topic in Nursing Career

    It's strange that the OP says CNAs can take blood but not MAs. I find the exact opposite to be true. IME, MAs are the ones trained in phlembotomy. CNAs receive no training in phlebotomy or...

  19. Drug testing?

    KellNY replied to Mike1974's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your HIV status would have no bearing on anything. I've never even heard of a school that required an HIV test and would question the legalities of such a requirement. You couldn't be denied entrance...

  20. really good question

    KellNY replied to lpnurse!'s topic in General Nursing

    While I totally respect your choice, as well as your reasoning, I'm not going to alter any part of my life in the off chance a homeless man will try to sleep on my

  21. really good question

    KellNY replied to lpnurse!'s topic in General Nursing

    No. What you have to look forward to is worse than that. Mine was just a short sample. I was recently at a funeral for a family member. I was in the VFW hall afterwards, and someone comes running...

  22. really good question

    KellNY replied to lpnurse!'s topic in General Nursing

    Yep it's true. And you could get it on your checks....if you wanted to. But to tell the truth, I might think it were kinda dorky if someone were to plaster their LPN all over the place. Kinda like...

  23. Drug testing?

    KellNY replied to Mike1974's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'd worry about killing someone (years later) by having smoked weed a few weeks before even entering nursing school?I don't know what kind of pot that is, but it sure must be strong. Last I heard,...

  24. Will I HAVE TO particpate in abortions if I become a L&D nurse????

    KellNY replied to chnc1024's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The hospital I work at is also pretty cohesive (well, days anyway...nights has their "teamwork" issues. but that's ot). There are nurses who will refuse to assist in a TOP. I work at a large teaching...

  25. Will I HAVE TO particpate in abortions if I become a L&D nurse????

    KellNY replied to chnc1024's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Which is where my advice came from-if she talks like this with her coworkers, she's going to make more than a few enemies, because I think it's quite safe to assume (based on statistics) that it's...
