  1. Worsening Health, Considering Resignation

    kakamegamama replied to Serhilda's topic in General Nursing

    I had to leave the bedside due to a blown back. I sorta enjoy being able to walk without pain, stand up straight, and sit without pain. I became a NP in part because I wanted to remain connected with...

  2. Nicotine Drug Testing in the Texas Medical Center

    kakamegamama replied to MA8675309's topic in General Nursing

    I can remember.....walking into the nurses' station on the postpartum unit and breathing second hand smoke from nurses who smoked at the nurses' station. I can remember.....itchy, watery, and swollen...

  3. How do you decompress?

    kakamegamama replied to BarrelOfMonkeys's topic in General Nursing

    Watch movies/series on Amazon Prime. Talk to my husband. Organize my room (only a 2 year project--long story), work a puzzle that didn't get completely disassembled the last time I put it together....

  4. Online FNP Programs

    kakamegamama replied to Kayla18's topic in General Nursing

    UMass-Boston has one. Texas Woman's University has one. These online programs are online for courses, and of course, you have to find your clinical sites. I imagine you can go to the BON website of...

  5. Lose vs. Loose

    kakamegamama replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

  6. Lose vs. Loose

    kakamegamama replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

    This is my life right now as I grade student papers........I often cringe, as I correct their spelling, grammar, etc.

  7. The End of An Era

    kakamegamama replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Aw, that must have been really hard. I wish you the best and thanks for deciding to hang out here. I believe that once a nurse, always a nurse. I don't think it leaves once it's in

  8. Lose vs. Loose

    kakamegamama replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure why your bothered by they're use of "lose" vs "loose". If they loose there shoes their won't be a need for them to work, but that might make you're workload heavier. Of course, you can...

  10. Those parents who believe everything their kids say

    kakamegamama replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Oh, I agree that kids need to learn to manage their allergies, etc. And, comments made by many do not seem to reflect that some are not in their "first days" and are "WELL aware that an allergic...

  11. Those parents who believe everything their kids say

    kakamegamama replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    It's a little disturbing that you call a child a "snowflake". First graders? Seriously? Maybe a review of growth and development would do you some

  12. Those parents who believe everything their kids say

    kakamegamama replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    A child with peanut and nut allergies does not have to eat either to have a reaction---they only need to be nearby. My daughter is highly allergic to walnuts. Her dad loved to buy the ones in shells...

  13. As seen on TV

    kakamegamama replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    Just a trivia note: McDreamy has a lakehouse not far from where we live. When my son and his new bride left their reception via boat, I think the guests--mainly female guests---were looking, not so...

    kakamegamama replied to MrsNurse08's topic in School

    Can you address this directly with the teacher, and put it in writing. Then if needed the

  16. Any nurses dealing with Tinnitus?

    kakamegamama replied to nikiiii123's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    OP- I have had nonstop tinnitus since April, 2009. It is aggravated by loud noises, fatigue, and stress. I like to say it started in my "rocker years" but, alas, that would be a lie. I had had it...

  17. Snowflakes

    kakamegamama replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I think you mean for the heart to display instead of dispay? Of course, this teacher has been grading papers that say what they mean while not saying what they mean or meaning what they say so I could...

    Thanks, Davey Do....now I can't get that song out of my

  19. RN volunteering at the border?

    kakamegamama replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    I would think you would need to be licensed in the state that you would help in, number 1. Number 2, don't go by yourself for reasons mentioned by various posters. What you want to do is admirable,...

  20. PEDS/OB- not passing

    kakamegamama replied to amynursing's topic in General Students

    I agree with the previous poster. An analysis of why you missed questions will probably be helpful to you. Don't give up hope. Hang in there. OB is a different creature compared to Med/Surg, and...

    kakamegamama replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

  24. "You made a mistake."

    kakamegamama replied to CharleeFoxtrot's topic in General Nursing

    You make me feel a bit more normal...not much, but a bit....as this is a recurring dream, the patient I didn't know I had, and a med/surg patient, no less! (Perinatal nursing nurse,

  25. Do healthcare administrators know one another?

    kakamegamama replied to SuziQ63's topic in General Nursing

    Based on my personal experience, yes. And, department directors may know each other as well. (That was, ahem, interesting....). Don't expect confidentiality when you
