  1. Paying back $100, 000 back in loans

    Kymmi replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    CRNASOMEDAY25---all I have to say is that I admire you and think that your positive attitude is a wonderful atribute. I have alot of good "plans" to earn extra $$ but I find it hard sometimes to have...

  2. Range orders

    Kymmi replied to hogan4736's topic in General Nursing

    Miko014--I agree with you 100%. Patients have the right to refuse any meds or treatments that they wish to refuse. I also would only give 1/2 the dose ordered if that is what the patients requests...

  3. Insurance

    Kymmi replied to rnmomtobe2010's topic in General Nursing

    I didnt know that you could lose your license for not paying taxes but I guess thats a different conversation then the OP. I am not sure its fair to say that based on the experience you had with one...

    Kymmi replied to Luvbuble's topic in General Nursing

    Im not sure that Im understanding this totally right. Are you looking to go back to floor nursing and expecting it to be 9-5 without weekends? Can you find another GI job working different...

  5. Question about traveling for company...

    Kymmi replied to CyndieRN2007's topic in Travel

  7. Is one state license "better" then other?

    Kymmi replied to Suninmyheart's topic in General Nursing

    I understand what you are asking and I think that the best way to explain it is to repeat what other people have said...you need a license to practice in whatever state it is that you are planning to...

  8. Need Help FAST Please. RE: Inappropriate discharge

    Kymmi replied to Monica RN,BSN's topic in General Nursing

    I do not work in LTC anymore and I dont know the FL laws for LTC but the one thing about this situation that caught my attention was the fact that she is in LTC and hasnt received any of her meds for...

  9. What would you do? Resident assaulted me.

    Kymmi replied to bshaw96's topic in Agency Nurses

    Sexual harassment is sexual harassment regardless of whether it comes from the maintaince man or a A/O patient. I am willing to bet that if you throw that term to the proper adminstration at the LTC...

    Kymmi replied to newtress's topic in Home Health

    Cisco----excellent post and advice for any person!! I hear and read alot about people in abusive relationships and I often wonder why anyone would tolerate such abuse and it infuriates me but then I...

  11. Meditech short-cuts..Anyone

    Kymmi replied to dak26's topic in General Nursing

  15. Nurses as day laborers (rant)

    Kymmi replied to RunningWithScissors's topic in General Nursing

    I think in any profession people will find something to complain about. I know that police officers do not make the money nurses make and they are not only dealing with the public but put their life...

  16. Chronic COPD'er, 1 lung, 02 @ 6L/min. What would you do?

    Kymmi replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've been following this post and havent said anything until now. I think the paramedic was also in the right to do what he was trained to do just as nurses do what we are trained to do. I now work...

  17. Too poor to become a nurse?

    Kymmi replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I suggest you go to the school and speak to someone in the fiancinal aide department. There are many grants available that might not even need paid back depending on the situation. My daughter is in...

  18. Stressed and confused

    Kymmi replied to szccdw's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose the hospital can write you up if you come to work and dont punch in to assume your shift. I assume that would be the same as what is considered a "no show". You are right to protect your...

  19. Other side of the bed

    Kymmi posted a topic in MICU, SICU

  21. Warning: Long...Need to bounce something off you guys re: administrative occurance.

    Kymmi replied to BBFRN's topic in General Nursing

    I also have read the OP and the replies several times and I cannot understand what you were actually written up for or what you did wrong. I think maybe part of the story was left out (not...

  22. Out of nursing program cause i am smoker!!!

    Kymmi replied to misstaz25's topic in General Nursing

    I would check the school's policy on smoking. Whatever the school's policy is should be the policy that is enforced. If this is this instructors wishes but not school policy then yes I would take...

  23. How do you get an unrestricted RN License?

    Kymmi replied to Soapy's topic in General Nursing

    You can work in CA with a ADN as long as you have a CA license. Also that is not true about having to retake NCLEX to obtain your FL or CA license. You can obtain a nursing license in any state by...

  24. What am I doing wrong? Argh...

    Kymmi replied to snwflknurse's topic in Medical-Surgical

    It does get better. You will develop a routine and although things always will happen to disrupt your routine it'll be a baseline start. For example I chart as I go unless my patient is crashing or...
