    kakamegamama replied to Dianna11's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  8. Whatever happened to going to school to be a nurse?

    kakamegamama replied to indish's topic in General Nursing

    Just a nurse? You are more than "just" a nurse. You give when others quit. You comfort when no one else can. You push yourself when your body says "you've got to be kidding me!". You usher people...

  11. I am not proud of my track record.

    kakamegamama replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

    I should have better phrased my question. Did the BON recommend that you might want to obtain a lawyer? There are attorneys who specialize in things such as this. Don't delay in doing what the BON...

    kakamegamama replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

    Well, goodness...... As to your comments about taking pay cuts, etc.....how about working for free? As in as a NP? I, and several others in all probability do that. And, the issue is the OP who...

  14. Nursing student getting abuse from instructor

    kakamegamama replied to Nursingbabydoll's topic in General Students

    While, if your instructor is as hateful as you say he/she is, she is wrong.......I will say this: 1) Infection control: what did you learn about gloves in your lab? When are they supposed to be...

  15. ideas for RN activism & volunteering?

    kakamegamama replied to ferminadaza's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto.

  18. What are your biggest pains/ problems as a nurse?

  20. I am not proud of my track record.

    kakamegamama replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

    Me too! My colleagues who thought and acted like I did (ie---keep the safe students in, appropriately get the unsafe ones out) were often frustrated. Thankfully, what I mentioned in my post didn't...

  21. I am not proud of my track record.

    kakamegamama replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

    kakamegamama replied to Chadnurse's topic in General Students

  25. Nurses in many cases bullies who love clicks at any age

    kakamegamama replied to RNLASVEGAS's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OP, this statement I believe is erroneous. "in reality most nurses are mean shrews and make the work environment a nightmare." While SOME nurses may be bullies, and perhaps a lot of those with whom...
