  2. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    kdkout replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    For all of you being "hesitant" why don't you tell us all what research you've

  3. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    kdkout replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I feel no guilt for your being "shamed" about getting the vaccine. I am so frustrated with many of my coworkers for feeling the same way. All of them have been lucky enough to never have been really...

  5. When You See Something, Say Something

    kdkout replied to simba and mufasa's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP "Simba?" - I'm sorry for what you have been through, and continue to go through, although not a bit surprised, sadly. When I worked on the west coast I did not notice racism; I am white....

  6. Fact or Fiction? Masking and CO2 Dangers

    kdkout replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    I'm really sick of these covid denying idiots saying "I have a medical condition" as their excuse to not wear a cloth/surgical mask out in public...and sick of all of the businesses that blatantly...

  7. What is your "favorite" procedure?

    kdkout replied to NewRN'16's topic in General Nursing

    Drawing blood on a baby in the NICU after you've given sweetease and making it happen the first (or 2nd) time with the baby barely noticing, much less crying......but never in front of the parents....

  8. Nursing salary vs. tuition repayment

    kdkout replied to Ngav1206's topic in General Students

    68k to go from lpn to RN is ridiculous and too expensive. Not worth it. Find a cheaper way or don’t do

  9. First year nurse. Thinking about leaving field altogether.

    kdkout replied to mhadvrn34's topic in General Nursing

    I think a lot of people going into nursing think it’s easier than it is. When I was in school in the early 90s we were weeded out. If we couldn’t hack it, we didn’t make it. Now a lot of...

    kdkout replied to jsy16's topic in Washington Nursing

    Well you know they had a major strike thst made national news right before covid hit, right? that speaks volumes look it

  11. Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    kdkout replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I think the nurse that made this series of mistakes is terrifying. I agree with Jory, and some other posters here. She bypassed SO many safety nets.....and, to top it off, went to work at another...

  12. Anyone else regret becoming a nurse?

    kdkout replied to Florida Sun RN's topic in General Nursing

  13. Should I try to earn my RN license or go back to college?

    kdkout replied to Divine-LPN,BSN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I feel like this question doesnt make any sense and maybe you need to edit. Are you already a RN with a BSN and passed your boards? Can you

  14. Commute to your job?

    kdkout replied to Power2020's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My commute with similar hours is 35min- 1 hour 20 min one way depending on the weather and day of the week. There is no balance. I never get out on time. I preferred 12 hour days (with a bad...

  15. Part Time Job

    kdkout replied to gravy94's topic in General Nursing

    I have done ICU nursing and a consortium program. You are being completely and totally unrealistic about the demands of the job. AND you're a new grad. I cant

  16. potential jobs in MSP area for experienced RN

    kdkout posted a topic in General Nursing

    Anybody have advice for getting a p/t dayshift job in the Minneapolis/St Paul (or just in MN) area? I want to move back to the state where where my extended family is. I have 20+ years and tons of...

  18. potential jobs in MSP area for experienced RN

    kdkout replied to kdkout's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your reply - yes, I've been looking on those sites quite a bit. I was hoping somebody would say "I work at _____ and really like it, and it's dayshift!" but I think I may have been asking...

  19. Catholic Nurse Sues Duke University Hospital After Refusing to Assist with Abortions

    kdkout replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    Yes, I totally agree. This makes me mad, actually. I was in the same boat - not told as a brand new OB nurse at a non-Catholic hospital that I'd have to assist with terminations. Nobody told me; was...

  20. Syringe driver terror

    kdkout replied to milly's topic in General Nursing

    I am not convinced this post is real. For one, too many spelling errors and odd word choices. Two, I hate to think of you actually working in palliative care with so little understanding...

  21. Future NP Career?

    kdkout replied to YorkNursing's topic in Canada

    I dont think public health would be super helpful for your goals and any ER that takes a new grad is not an ER I'd want to be a patient in. There is no point on planning all of this right now ....you...

  22. Future NP Career?

    kdkout replied to YorkNursing's topic in Canada

  23. How to deal with a bully patient?

    kdkout replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    IMO - I'm not dealing with it nearly as much as the adult floors and it's different where I work - in our case it's parents that are dictating care too much and dont know what they are talking about,...

  24. NICU to SICU?

    kdkout replied to Emm_RN's topic in MICU, SICU

    You're welcome :-) If you have to switch hospitals anyway, then I'd talk to friends about scheduling and if any of those hospitals allow self-scheduling. THat way maybe you could take a few classes...

    kdkout replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in General Nursing
