  1. Clock out by 8am or get reprimanded!!!

    Kymmi replied to RnM21's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Bottom line is you have 3 different situations/scenerios : 1) The nurse who has poor time management skills and is always clocking out late due to inability to finish her work in the scheduled shift....

  2. HELP! I got dismissed from my nursing school

    Kymmi replied to basid786's topic in General Students

    Very good opinions from alot of people here but bottom line is there are 2 sides to every story and I feel we are really only getting 1/4 of one side of the

  3. How do you react to being humiliated by nurses?

    Kymmi replied to Miwila's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I know this question is directed at other CNA's and I am a RN but I want to chime in here anyway. CNA's are a valuable part of the team. I know without CNA's my job would be more difficult. I do...

  4. New grad RN can't find a job, HELP!

    Kymmi replied to ment2be's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You all need to come to Florida...the hospitals have special open house fairs for new grads. I've even seen new grads start out in ICU after going thru a 16 week training/orientation

  5. Forced to stay at work...?

    Kymmi replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  6. I think I'm being treated unfairly...

    Kymmi replied to mzattitude's topic in General Students

    It is much easier to blame others or to think that others are out to get you. Im not saying 100% that they arent however I do think you need to look at why they are saying you seem confused or...

  7. Questionable parameters?

    Kymmi replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in Patient Medications

  8. Another time mgmt question......

    Kymmi replied to WindyhillBSN's topic in First Year After Licensure

  9. Another time mgmt question......

    Kymmi replied to WindyhillBSN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I understand that you are very new to this and I can only suggest that with time you will become more organized and develop your own routine of doing things proficiently. On another note and I sure...

  10. lazy charge nurses

    Kymmi replied to cupcake25's topic in General Nursing

    That is absolutely ridiculous...I bet it took her longer to clean herself up then it would have to take 2 minutes and go to the bathroom. If you ask me that nurse has some serious issues with trying...

  11. Assignments that you are not qualified to take

    Kymmi replied to mycatmax's topic in General Nursing

    I need more info to really say anything. For instance...have you ever taken a class on ventilators and vent care? Were you with someone when you was on orientation and did you get any vent...

  12. IV Piggyback

    Kymmi replied to busybee88's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Dilaudid is for pain and Zofran is for nausea....both drugs are given IV push therefore they are not piggybacked into the main IV but they are pushed IV which can either be done thru the current IV...

  13. Are family members asking you for med advice?

    Kymmi replied to dorselm's topic in General Students

    Ive been a nurse for many many years and I do not mind speaking to my close family members regarding health issues but I only tell them what I truly know and if I think they need to see the MD I make...

  14. ER nurses make $144,000 a year!

    Kymmi replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I do believe that the wages they report are averages so lets say 10 nurses report their earnings at 35,000 and 10 nurses report their earnings at 70,000 then the average wage of all 20 nurses would be...

  15. $8000 to lock down my 2yrs of life?!

    Kymmi replied to Tzu911's topic in General Nursing

    What is right for others might not be right for you. 8000$ could be the make or break for someone needing the $$$ to go thru school and they might welcome the chance to receive it in exchange for...

  16. so it appears i'm not alone...

    Kymmi replied to averageJo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    i just feel like being forthright before any of that came to happen should help instead of hurt. maybe i am wrong. I think that being forthright will work out. Remember that what you are doing is best...

  17. so it appears i'm not alone...

    Kymmi replied to averageJo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well...let me start off by saying...wow....and let me commend you for being so honest and upfront about the whole situation. Addiction is a very real illness and it takes a great deal of soul...

  18. biased workplace!!

    Kymmi replied to lenjoy03's topic in General Nursing

    The OP did not say anything about new grads being hired into the units.....they said new nurses. These could be nurses with years and years of experience however they are new to that hospital. If...

  19. ER nurses make $144,000 a year!

    Kymmi replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    They did list the average at 66,000. I think the 144,000 was probably what was reported by what everyone else here has said and thats working lots of OT and working the highest paid areas of the...

  20. Have you ever taken an NCLEX exam to qualify for the same license?

    Kymmi replied to jll8507's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well...its been a very long time since I sat for boards however just reading the question I would think it is asking if you've ever sat for the NCLEX prior to sitting for it again....in other words it...

  21. Nursing options???

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

    Nurse adminstrators and case managers really SHOULD have true nursing experience before taking either of those jobs only because without the experience it is really hard for them to understand the way...

  23. S/P Cardiac Cath question

    Kymmi replied to megananne7's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with RobLPN. If you checked the site and there is no sign of hematoma or bleeding, VS stable, Pulses all good then medicate and continue to monitor. Pain is very subjective and what you...

  24. travel nursing nightmare

    Kymmi replied to dmarcelal's topic in General Nursing

    I have to say after that if I was "stuck" in Hawaii with no $$ and no way to get home I think I'd figure out a way to work nights and get some $$. 13 weeks is a long time to be in Hawaii with no $$...
