  1. Give me the Positive....

    Ms Kylee replied to TonyFl's topic in General Nursing

    We all love nursing..we just hate the politics of nursing.... I love it because I know I've made a difference in someone's life whether it is the patient or the patient's family... If I can do...

  2. What would you do if this was your patient?

    Ms Kylee replied to MAISY, RN-ER's topic in General Nursing

    You done good, Maisy. Bless you for being so caring. And like you, I'd want to smack son upside the head. I guess he's never heard of treaded shoes/slippers. I just hate it when people won't or...

  3. Anyone Else Experience Mobbing?

    Ms Kylee replied to WeakAnkles's topic in General Nursing

    I hope I'm not a candidate anymore. I'm totally different at work than I am out of work. Out of work I'm known as "The (you know what), but at work, I don't use this persona because the patients...

  4. Nursing as We Age.....

    Ms Kylee replied to acw2's topic in General Nursing

    Lifeguard.... Seriously though, I can't retire. Nursing is my second career and the first never paid enough money to even be able to think about saving for retirement. Course, I could be...

  5. Nursing Uniforms that don't need ironing.

    Ms Kylee replied to moomoo111's topic in General Nursing

    Downy Wrinkle Releaser... best thing ever invented. Saves me tons of ironing

  6. Anyone Else Experience Mobbing?

    Ms Kylee replied to WeakAnkles's topic in General Nursing

    What goes around does come around... the one that gave me crap actually apologized... once she found out I'm not taking her bull. We worked together 2 days last week, and it was actually tolerable....

  7. I had very poor LVN/LPN training. Anyone else?

    Ms Kylee replied to I love my cat!'s topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I feel my program isn't training me very well. We got very little skills time on transferring, positioning, etc. That is all stuff I learned on the job. Pharmacology was a joke and a half. 4...

  8. Horrible first day

    Ms Kylee replied to HealthyRN's topic in General Nursing

    So true! One of the floor nurses told me yesterday that she couldn't be an aide on our floor. I about fell over since she's the one that's been down on my rear end since I started on the floor...

  9. Where's the Aide?

    Ms Kylee posted a topic in General Nursing

    Yesterday, I had the patient assignment from hell. My side was full, a bunch in isolation, and about 6 that were so much work, I had little time to help the other two nurses that I was assigned to....

  10. Where's the Aide?

    Ms Kylee replied to Ms Kylee's topic in General Nursing

    Wish we had a

  11. Where's the Aide?

    Ms Kylee replied to Ms Kylee's topic in General Nursing

    Update: She was back today. I think someone must have said something to her because she stayed on her side and I didn't hear a peep out of the nurses. Course, we were all busy today because we...

  12. Some days it just stinks to be an aide

    Ms Kylee replied to bethin's topic in General Nursing

    You did the right thing... reported it to the nurse. You're not responsible for their attitude. What I always do when I get an abnormal vital, when I tell the nurse, then when I chart, I make a...

  13. 29 pts as a tech..can i handle being a nurse?

    Ms Kylee replied to law3576's topic in General Nursing

    No, it's not you.. it's a high caseload and I've been there. Took me half a shift to do everyone's vitals then I had to start all over again. I hate getting pulled to other floors because no matter...

  14. feeling drawn to hospice nursing..........

    Ms Kylee replied to DeeLeeRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    This how I feel too.. I'm not sure if it's because I think hospice will help me with losing my Dad or if it's because of my helping nature. I love my job at the hospital, but some days I really hate...

  15. What's your favorite pair of nursing shoes?

    Ms Kylee replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I love my Crocs.... I wore my POTC ones

  16. Where's the Aide?

    Ms Kylee replied to Ms Kylee's topic in General Nursing

    But what happens if no blood sugars get done if I don't do them? The nurses won't be able to give coverage, and that's endangering a patient... I will not let that

  17. Where's the Aide?

    Ms Kylee replied to Ms Kylee's topic in General Nursing

    This was the first day I worked with her as she is new, and always had a preceptor before-- working the other side of the floor. What bothered me about this one was I found out she never did the AC...

  18. Families from Hell

    Ms Kylee replied to traumamomtx30's topic in General Nursing

    *Really wishes 2-4 and 7-9 visiting hours were brought back and observed.

  19. Where's the Aide?

    Ms Kylee replied to Ms Kylee's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mind helping the nurses since that is what I am there for. What I do mind is the same nurses coming to me and asking more than once where the aide is. I didn't take it personally that the...

  20. A story I wanted to share. (Long)

    Ms Kylee replied to mslinzyann's topic in General Nursing

    Amen,

  21. Families from Hell

    Ms Kylee replied to traumamomtx30's topic in General Nursing

    This frosts my bum big time! I don't understand why families think their loved one is the only patient on the floor.

  22. Diploma School vs. BSN

    Ms Kylee posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    When I was interviewed for my job, the HR Dept. told me "You WILL go on for your RN". I'm 7 months in to my LPN program, with 16 more to go (part time program). They've been pushing me to make a...

  23. Anyone Else Experience Mobbing?

    Ms Kylee replied to WeakAnkles's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yeah... I've seen one nurse go after all of those who were not BSN's (she thinks those without a BSN are "beneath" her.) Her favorite targets seem to be the NA's though. She pulled crap on me...

  25. Would you become a nurse today if you could do it over again?

    Ms Kylee replied to marie-francoise's topic in General Nursing

    1.) Yes, even though I'm still a student. I've finally found my niche. 2.) Only you can decide if it is right for you. Good luck!
