  1. I can't get a job, i'm so sad.

    Kanani_Ikike replied to Lmex's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Don't be discouraged. You will get a job. This will give you time to really consider your options instead of having to jump at the first thing that comes your way. Last, but not least, you can...

  2. YOU as a Pt-what would you allow a student nurse to do?

    Kanani_Ikike replied to KellNY's topic in General Nursing

    I actually feel a bit more secure when there is a student nurse as opposed to some of these half-*** nurses that half do things and don't do it properly; nor do they care. At least with the student,...

  3. Nurses are Pathetic!!

    Kanani_Ikike replied to lorster's topic in General Nursing

    Oh trust me, I will.

  4. Nurses are Pathetic!!

    Kanani_Ikike replied to lorster's topic in General Nursing

    And can the church say AMEN!!!! You better preach then!!!! I agree with you so much right now that I am looking at this like: "did I write this?". I am sick of it, too. There are times when I...

  5. Does anyone else see discrimination? Long Post but please read!

    Kanani_Ikike replied to SoontobeAdrienneRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I am so sorry that this has happened to you. Sure, I see it as discrimination and something even more...blatant racism if they used racial slurs against you. You get you a good lawyer and make...

  6. Is it professional??????????

    Kanani_Ikike replied to starbin's topic in General Nursing

    You took the words right out of my mouth. I, by no means, am not saying that we should accomodate everybody's language that immigrates to this country. But, if it is easier for them to communicate...

  7. Is it professional??????????

    Kanani_Ikike replied to starbin's topic in General Nursing

    They can take classes that target the population of ESL immigrants. But, until they become fluent, they may feel more comfortable speaking in their native language. Some people may be offended by...

  8. Is it professional??????????

    Kanani_Ikike replied to starbin's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that the perpetrators' intentions are to come across as rude. It's probably easier for them to communicate with one another in their native language. It's possible that they don't...

  9. How do you handle innappropriate patients?

    Kanani_Ikike replied to AmyRN1227's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not trying to sound condescending here, but I'm with the other poster who said it's never appropriate to kiss a patient. We must keep that professional boundary there, even if sometimes emotions...

  10. No pain meds for you, mother

    Kanani_Ikike replied to ZootRN's topic in General Nursing

    You know, I've been in the same situation before with one of my patients. Except, it was the opposite of yours. This patient did not want pain medicine because she was being overmedicated previous...

  11. Whats to Enjoy about Nursing?

    Kanani_Ikike replied to sissyboo's topic in General Nursing

    All i can tell you is to try to get real-world research on what you're getting into. Nursing school isn't like the real nursing world at all. It will have you fooled. It is imperative that you find...

  12. Nurses as day laborers (rant)

    Kanani_Ikike replied to RunningWithScissors's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with you on this one. The responsibility is very overwhemling at times. Everything that doesn't happen the nurse gets the blame. It's like we are a policeman of the entire facilty. If the...

  13. Are you in Nursing for the Caring or the Cash?? Be Honest

    Kanani_Ikike replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in General Nursing

    to be honest with you, i am now in nursing for the money. it didn't always used to be that way for me. when i first graduated from nursing school, i wanted to "save the world". i was going the be...

  14. backstabbers, 2-faced coworkers

    Kanani_Ikike replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    I, too, think that it is very sad that we must put up with this from our colleagues. We are supposed to be professional in the work place and united and have team work. What I see bothers me so. It...

  15. Families, are they getting more demanding?

    Kanani_Ikike replied to MrsWampthang's topic in General Nursing

    I have noticed that most patients that I seem to get are coming along attached with bossy/demanding family members. It seems to me that they feel that the nurse is the enemy. It really does. What...
