  1. I hate math

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

    I used to teach math in high school and I've had some success tutoring people who hate it. Sometimes they find it's the way it's been taught and they're actually good at it. I'd be happy to chat or...

  2. I Don't Have a Math Brain, But Want To Be a Nurse!

    kenny b replied to Trixie-Nurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    I used to teach high school math. I believe that, although you may be better at art, you do have a brain for math. A lot of people think they could never really understand math because of the misuse...

  10. Night Shift for DUMMIES

    kenny b replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    The following is written in the form of commands, but they are just suggestions (suggestions take too many words). I agree that it must be PITCH BLACK in your room. It should also be cool to cold and...

  11. Need help choosing between two job offers

    kenny b replied to GeminiTwinRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh man! This one's a no-brainer (I mean this in an, "I'm excited for you!" way, not an "This should be obvious to you!" way. 2k per year seems like a lot, but it's really nothing ($170/month). That...

  14. Teacher or Nurse? HELP!

    kenny b replied to Hnebun's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! Planning your children in is very admirable! If there were more parents like you, I would probably still be teaching (high school math). One caution... When I left teaching (1996) there were a...

    kenny b replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in General Nursing

    I taught high school and I'm here to tell ya... If you decide to teach, I would go private school or not at all. The kids are great, but the parents and the administration can make it difficult for...

  17. I need a pep talk...badly!!!

    kenny b replied to mturner88's topic in General Nursing

    Please call The United Way. They usually have help for people who are struggling like this (especially if you are working hard to become a contributing member of society!) You can get your local...

  18. Help I'm mobbed

    kenny b replied to Sonn's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just on a quick break at work. I'll read the other thread soon, but I'd like to ask if you could possibly just move. I know it's drastic and I'm not trying to overwhelm you, but it's sometimes...

  19. nurse back problems

    kenny b replied to Josiah21's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad you brought this up. I had the same question myself. I'd have to agree with Tweety here. A well-crafted strengthening and stretching program would be a great idea! I've got a sort of a...

  20. Ethics Violation-Would you remain silent or challenge the system?

    kenny b replied to MissJanelle904's topic in General Nursing

    ;) Okay, got it. 1) You can't possibly know her motive. 2) If her motive was to insure that those who didn't cheat were able to compete on level ground with those who did, then that's valid. You...

  21. Ethics Violation-Would you remain silent or challenge the system?

    kenny b replied to MissJanelle904's topic in General Nursing

    Could be, but my comments still stand. As I said, I give her every benefit of the doubt with respect to how she meant to represent herself. The point is that there are legitemate reasons for not...

  22. Ethics Violation-Would you remain silent or challenge the system?

    kenny b replied to MissJanelle904's topic in General Nursing

    EASY with the "American folks" comments there. I don't know where the land of the blue is, but I do know this. Americans come from all over and we're all very different. I'm a proud American who...

  23. Ethics Violation-Would you remain silent or challenge the system?

    kenny b replied to MissJanelle904's topic in General Nursing

    If you'll permit me Reebok, I think I have something you haven't heard here, which might even make it worth your while to add one more post. If you don't post, I'll have to assume that I have a valid...

  24. Do you wear some type of support for your legs to prevent leg cramps?

    kenny b replied to JNT'smom's topic in General Nursing

    I swear by my custom orthodics! You've got to get them from a good podiatrist (there are not-so-good ones). I think all nurses should have them whether that is the root-cause of pain or not (or even...

  25. Anyone else "caught" MRSA?

    kenny b replied to Julie frm Dallas's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Perhaps I'm being a bit naive, but I would hope that this would be one of the first things covered (in depth) in nursing school (or even the pre-nursing informational sessions). Thank you for the...
