    bekindtokittens replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

  3. My question is: Why are nurses so mean to each other?

    bekindtokittens replied to LadyJRN1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've spent many years in the workforce and now I'm in nursing school. I've endured harassment by male coworkers, passive-aggressive backstabbing by female coworkers, and the crap you always hear...

  4. I hate it!!!

    bekindtokittens replied to luckylucyrn's topic in Emergency

    They have $1 pregnancy tests at The Dollar Tree that work just fine. I'd much rather scrape up a buck and go to the store, rather than wait in an ER for

  5. Nursing homes for fresh RN?

    bekindtokittens replied to firstclass's topic in General Nursing

    Try to stop comparing yourself to your classmates. What makes them satisfied may not make you satisfied. If you are happy with working morning shift so you can be with your kids, stick with it! And...

  6. Nursing and Jewelry

    bekindtokittens replied to teresadkinslpn2rn's topic in General Nursing

    This is what I did. I did not want to lose my diamond, carry critters home with it, or scratch patients with it. But when I would not wear it, I would constantly be having these moments of "oh no...

  7. Strange things found on (or in) a pt.

    bekindtokittens replied to squeakykitty's topic in Emergency

    You're right, because that's where I saw it too. It has stuck with me ever since. I was *squirming* as I watched it. And of course, I had to call my husband over to watch too, and he got mad at me,...

    bekindtokittens replied to shelly304's topic in General Nursing

    First I'll go to the home page and look at the new threads. Then, being a student, I go to the Nursing Student discussions and look around. Sometimes I go to the General Nursing discussion or...

  10. Strange things found on (or in) a pt.

    bekindtokittens replied to squeakykitty's topic in Emergency

    I haven't worked in the ER; I'm just a student. But whenever I want some good nursing stories, I come over to the Emergency Nursing Specialty forum. I saw this on Untold Stories of the ER. A...

  11. Burning Of The Uniforms.....

    bekindtokittens replied to RheatherN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm only halfway through my program and I ditched my scrubs. I paid good money for them, and yet they still are all pilled up. Not to mention all the coffee stains down the front and mystery stains...

  14. Anyone going to PPCC?

    bekindtokittens replied to AK2282's topic in Colorado Nursing

    We practiced cervix checks in these weird little boxes in lab, but we weren't allowed to do them in clinicals unless the membranes were intact and the nurse and clinical instructor were okay with it....

  15. Anyone going to PPCC?

    bekindtokittens replied to AK2282's topic in Colorado Nursing

  16. Virtual Clinical Excursions

    bekindtokittens replied to Tracey2bRN's topic in General Students

    An absolute waste of time AND money. We had to get the OB/Peds program and it's very frustrating waiting for the correct time to watch a video, and then the questions asked about the video have no...

    bekindtokittens replied to Satori77's topic in Colorado Nursing

  18. OT: RAV4 or CRV for Colorado Winters?

    bekindtokittens replied to MovingRN's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I had the RAV-4 and the AWD was okay. Probably handled as well as any car. However, the ride was a bit bumpy and the backseat was not comfortable at all. I've since traded it in for a 4-Runner and...

  19. breakfast ideas for nervous am stomach

    bekindtokittens replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Students

    I hate eating breakfast too. I don't have a nervous stomach, but ugh, eating at 5:30am always makes me nauseous. We don't usually get any breaks until lunch, so I found I would get lightheaded if I...

  20. PPCC advice

    bekindtokittens replied to robynv's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Robyn, I bet you can pass it, even if you have to take another class. You seem to have a lot of determination. Armynicurn, I think Threllfall is still teaching at Rampart. I see him around the...

  21. PPCC advice

    bekindtokittens replied to robynv's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I took A&PI over the summer and got an A. Just make sure it is your only class. Definitely get Threllfall at Rampart as your instructor. He's tough as nails, but if you attend every lecture and...

    bekindtokittens replied to MacsWife's topic in Colorado Nursing
