  1. silly question

    KLKRN replied to LanaConga's topic in Emergency

    Pizza and chocolate will make you a star in any hospital unit! And don't forget my Diet

  2. What should be done about this? Unbelievable backstabbing...

    KLKRN replied to DeLana_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I completely agree with Widlmountainchild. This woman has serious psych issues and should not even be in a position of authority over anyone - I wouldn't trust her to own a

  3. working as indepepent contractor

    KLKRN replied to psychnurse1998's topic in General Nursing

    For northern California, that isn't a great wage. Add to that paying for your own housing, insurance, and taxes..... I understand wanting to be independent,

  4. The personal questions patients ask - sorry need to vent

    KLKRN replied to Anagray's topic in Emergency

    It wasn't irrelevant, although you may have a point about it being a sweeping generalization about white Americans who subscribe to the evangelical mindset. She stated that it was mostly the white...

  5. The personal questions patients ask - sorry need to vent

    KLKRN replied to Anagray's topic in Emergency

    I especially warm to the idea of the spy parents, or the circus parents. Maybe because like you, I didn't have a childhood or parents I want to talk about. You mentioned that these people get into...

  6. racist comment

    KLKRN replied to XXl-cool's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I like earle's chutzba! :) I used to be such a mouse and kept it all inside when people were ugly to me or just plain ugly verbally. But tonight I encountered a nurse on the oncoming shift whose every...

  7. one day course offered by NCLNC?

    KLKRN replied to cprud's topic in Legal

    I agree. My agency's contract recruiter (I work registry) called me today and offered me a contract. I declined, and told him I was planning on doing the AALNC course. He said, "good luck." He had...

    I've seen a couple nurses with

  10. what kind of watch do you wear?

    KLKRN replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Casio: inexpensive, reliable, comes in plastic or cloth bands. Water

  11. CEN exam tomorrow

    KLKRN replied to LOVETHETRAUMA's topic in Emergency

    We'll keep our fingers, toes, and eyes crossed for

  12. Family MD charging office fees for renewing RXs

    KLKRN replied to timpanzee's topic in General Nursing

    I think there may be some misunderstanding with the situation: My understanding was that each month this person gets charged $5 per RX to have their RX's refilled. If, however, as I see many here...

  13. Is it necessary to be a CNA b4 nursing school?

    KLKRN replied to Toots71506's topic in General Nursing

    SWEE 2000 I wish more CNA's could see their roles the way you

    KLKRN replied to yurnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Even doctors aren't in agreement about whether or not they want called. The doc at the LTC where I worked did want

    KLKRN replied to XXl-cool's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Commuter: I am familiar with the slur "boy," but not "little girl/little boy." Sorry if I wasn't

  16. racist comment

    KLKRN replied to XXl-cool's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've had the same experience as Alexis. And like her, if they don't speak English, I work around that, but when they can and won't speak English and get mad at me for not speaking fluent Spanish, that...

  17. Do both systolic and diastolic need to be high for a patient to be hypertensive?

    KLKRN replied to linda2097's topic in General Nursing

    Alteration in xxxxxx is the nursing diagnosis, I believe. HTN would be a medical dx if I'm not mistaken. I always have my map handy, too. Oh, that MAP!

  18. Certified Legal Nurse Investigator

    KLKRN replied to LadyT618's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm. She's the author of the textbook for the AALNC online course. Did she personally train 14 nurses, or was she trained by (under) 15 nurses worldwide? Ahhh, semantics; dontcha luv

  19. racist comment

    KLKRN replied to XXl-cool's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I worked recently with an African American nurse who called herself "Big Mama." I personally felt she was demeaning herself. Another issue is a nurse who has a pouchy belly, and paients ask when her...

  20. Family MD charging office fees for renewing RXs

    KLKRN replied to timpanzee's topic in General Nursing

    Obviously your provider does not have your best interests at heart. Get your records and move

  21. Bad weekend at work.

    KLKRN replied to crysobrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You are indeed a remarkable nurse to do OB. I only lasted 4 months there. Last weekend we were coming up on a full moon. Nuff

  22. can you be an rn if you take antidepressants in CA

    KLKRN replied to sunshinegirl68's topic in General Nursing

    I worked with a bipolar nurse in California, so the answer is yes, you can still be an RN. Hospitals don't generally ask about antidepressants in a job interview. When I worked in the Psych unit, we...

  23. Is it necessary to be a CNA b4 nursing school?

    KLKRN replied to Toots71506's topic in General Nursing

    You're certainly right about the money and redundancy of learning the same skills. My first semester in nursing was very much like my nurses' aide training. Of course, we were no longer mixing our own...

    KLKRN replied to yurnurse's topic in General Nursing
