    kdkout replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    It's "cleft palate" I don't know of anyone who's out of pocket max with insurance is $90k. That's pathetic "insurance" as you know I don't know what the answer is, but it's not sustainable,...

  5. Does Work-Life Balance Exist When Working Remotely?

    kdkout replied to CMagill's topic in General Specialties

    I'm sorry but I don't get it. You need to learn boundaries. This is exactly why employers take advantage of us! If you were still working in the ER, would you clock out and then turn around and...

  6. Fired. How To Get Over It.

    kdkout replied to rninformatics's topic in Nursing Career

    Without knowing more details, I'm suspicious that this all about ageism - you're expensive, and could possibly be replaced with a couple of (part time) new grads. Call me a cynic, but it happens...

  7. A Day in the Life of a Nurse Working Christmas

    kdkout replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I find “woe is me” stories like this frustrating and perceive it as coddling. . You absolutely knew this when you went into nursing. Have the holiday (and things like their birthday...

  9. How can a nurse sustain a healthy and happy relationship?

    kdkout replied to nicenurse819's topic in General Nursing

    IMO, You are probably not with the right person and you lack boundaries. Nobody plans a bunch of stuff (or anything at all) after working those hours. It’s not possible. Do you think it’s...

  11. Should Male Nurse Work In L&D?

    kdkout replied to Apotheosis's topic in General Nursing

    Oncology nursing is not the same as labor and delivery, though. You don't do recurrent vag exams and stare at a patients vag, potentially for hours, while you wait for the baby to come out....

  12. RN Jobs That Do Not Require Covid Vaccine

    kdkout replied to TraumaRN52's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Agree The problem is when people have a degree based in science and (supposedly) protecting public health. If you are going to pick religion over science, healthcare should not be your

  14. Should Male Nurse Work In L&D?

    kdkout replied to Apotheosis's topic in General Nursing

    Just want to go on record to say many women, myself included, do not even have to be a victim of sexual or domestic abuse to not want a male nurse. Am I am domestic abuse survivor? Yes. However, I...

  15. Should Male Nurse Work In L&D?

    kdkout replied to Apotheosis's topic in General Nursing

    Again, I was OK with two male OBs when I had my kids, *because* I had worked with them and personally knew them, therefore I felt safe with them. I would not feel safe with just any male OB....

  16. Should Male Nurse Work In L&D?

    kdkout replied to Apotheosis's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. That’s what I said. “Sexist and discriminatory?” Fine. It doesn’t change how I feel about it I also said I’d only accept a male OB that I already knew, felt safe with, had a...

  17. Should Male Nurse Work In L&D?

    kdkout replied to Apotheosis's topic in General Nursing

    I admit I don't like male L & D nurses. Not even trying to hide it. When you come into the hospital in the middle of labor, you need to feel emotionally safe. I would not feel that way with a...

  18. Got Fired Help Plz

    kdkout replied to Rin nohara's topic in General Nursing

    During orientation is often the only time you can somewhat “easily” fire a new employee, especially if it’s a union hospital. When I was a preceptor for the new grad program at a...

  19. Should Male Nurse Work In L&D?

    kdkout replied to Apotheosis's topic in General Nursing

    Those are great points and I appreciate the legal issues you brought up. Think we can all agree - It's probably good that I am not in charge of

  20. Got Fired Help Plz

    kdkout replied to Rin nohara's topic in General Nursing

    Reread what happened. The problem is not your manager. You are unable to recognize what a big deal this was. This is ICU. You left without doing all of your major charting and are defending...

  21. Should Male Nurse Work In L&D?

    kdkout replied to Apotheosis's topic in General Nursing

    It means "Do you know what is involved? - the vag checks to see how effaced or dilated you are, placing foleys, the being naked and vulnerable, the looking at someone's private parts while they may be...

  22. Should Male Nurse Work In L&D?

    kdkout replied to Apotheosis's topic in General Nursing

    Have you had a baby? That informs this dialog. Yes, but the moms (typically) pick their OBs, and have established relationships with them over the course of many months....so there's a...

  23. Got Fired Help Plz

    kdkout replied to Rin nohara's topic in General Nursing

    You needed to be fired if this is what happened while you were on orientation. If you don’t know what you are doing, people can die. You were in over your head. Apply to easier jobs....

  24. Should Male Nurse Work In L&D?

    kdkout replied to Apotheosis's topic in General Nursing

    I have done labor and delivery at three hospitals in the past. I would not feel comfortable with a male nurse, and no way would I feel comfortable with a male nurse for my dtr. No way, no how....

  25. Stuck Between A Rock And A Hard Place

    kdkout replied to ham333's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Sounds like a good place to work, where they believe in science, have standards and expect the same from you. You are not between a rock and a hard place at all. You just think you are....
