  1. Questions about Missing Narcs

    kenny b replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

    It knows! That's kind of creepy! It's interesting that they don't operate by dispensing the item requested rather than opening the whole drawer. It seems to me that this would narrow it down to one...

  2. Questions about Missing Narcs

    kenny b replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

    I've often wondered if anyone ever takes advantage of the presence of an agency nurse. After all, the fact that they are the newest member of the team makes them suspect in a lot of minds right off...

  3. Respiratory Tech School vs RN school

    kenny b replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

    Don't take this the wrong way, but I doubt many of us would consider 28 "older." I'd do a lot to be back at 28 and a year out from starting nursing school. What I'm getting at is - Is it the age that...

  4. I start nursing school in 3 days...

    kenny b replied to misjac2's topic in General Nursing

    I look at it this way. I typically reflect after an experience like this one and decide that it wasn't as bad as I thought. I'm trying to fast-forward to that point now, and it's working a little....

    kenny b replied to misjac2's topic in General Nursing

    kenny b replied to squeakykitty's topic in General Nursing

    Could someone please define PITA for me (needless to say Google returned a lot of delicious-sounding bread products). Thanks in advance! Regards, Kenny

  7. What to do about slander?

    kenny b replied to zattie's topic in General Nursing

    Be careful about who you choose as a witness if you do decide to go. I had an arrogant lab instructor who made some false accusations against me. I assumed that some of my classmates would back me...

  8. Neuro is the most tragic

    kenny b replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious about all of these stories we hear about people who are told that they'll never walk again . . . and they do! I have a friend who was hit by a bullet, and although he was told he'd never...

  9. Neuro is the most tragic

    kenny b replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree we won't get a rebate. In fact our taxes don't even pay the interest on the debt. It is our children who will pay the cost of government spending in the form of a devalued dollar. And I...

  14. How many hours should i be studying a day?

    kenny b replied to NursingStudent-Tati's topic in General Nursing

    Studying in groups has its place, but there are two things about that. First, it has to be a no-nonsense group that doesn't fall into the trap of using study time to socialize (easy to do). Second,...

  15. Rn career and being a mother

    kenny b replied to Qka's topic in General Nursing

    What you're proposing sounds very challenging. Most people do it out of necessity rather than desire. Please always remember to do two things. A) Put your relationship with your husband first because...

  16. How do I decide where to go????

    kenny b replied to Rn2bKatie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah. CNM is free, but it is a 2 and a half year waiting list as of now (as you probably know already). I heard that Apollo is also working on their own BSN program (and even a masters!). I too...

  19. apollo vs gallup

    kenny b replied to abq rn's topic in General Nursing

    I'm having the same dilemma. Then you throw the Pima opportunity into the mix and it really gets complicated. This is heresay, so take it for what it's worth. I had a classmate in a biology class at...

    kenny b replied to za23fr's topic in General Nursing

    You can go to prosperity.com, but make sure you can pay it back first. With respect to the car, I had the same trouble and I finally cut my losses and bought a Geo Metro. They're cheap and generally...

  21. Need Advice about New Job

    kenny b replied to KarryRN's topic in General Nursing

    Did you relocate for this job? It may depend on the state you are in. You can always call Bill Handel. He's got a radio show in which he gives out free legal advice. You can get his number and air...
