  4. Is this common practice or was I in the wrong??

    Katie5 replied to Sassylil14u's topic in General Nursing

    This is only one side of the story y'all. To give honest advice, we'd have to look at this from everyone's perspective. It's sometimes very hard,I know this, but then that would be the only true way...

    Katie5 replied to LuvPedsNrsg's topic in General Nursing

    Some things are best left where they are...in the past. You'd do well, to let things alone.Why borrow trouble when it's not

  8. Where do ALL these family members spring from?

    Katie5 posted a topic in General Nursing

    When a relative is about to pass away.I'm not being judgmental how that is not too nice.Through the patient's life, when the patient is awake and would appreciate the gesture so much more and feel...

  9. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

    Katie5 replied to MONEJA783's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It's pure business and all about the green. If another could do the same task with the same level of expertise, why would you then want to spend more, when you could go for the cheaper rate. As is...

  10. Where do ALL these family members spring from?

    Katie5 replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    And then an affluent burial ensues. It hurts me but why couldn't all that have been put to use when their family member was still alive. Think of the joy in knowing you were so loved and care

    Katie5 replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    When they construct something worthwhile, i'll believe you but until

  13. What's your mindset,...?

    Katie5 posted a topic in General Nursing

    This is not for a PHI, but more about understanding other people's reasoning. Why do you think the way you do? Do you have a background reason or you're just the random thinker. Say for instance, you...

  14. What's your mindset,...?

    Katie5 replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    Made sense with your post. We just have to keep reminding ourselves not to react to others'

  15. What tips would you give a new RN

    Katie5 replied to SkeesB's topic in General Nursing

    1. Everyone is your friend until they prove otherwise. 2. Get a drug book or quick search book. You retain information more when you look it up yourself. 3. Keep your eyes peeled back and mouth...

  16. What's your mindset,...?

    Katie5 replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    No. This is about being open-minded and understanding that other people reason the way they do because they do. And that I do because I do. Please just read the post as is, without any underlying...

  17. Those that prefer to work with men

    Katie5 replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    It would be their preference...no shame in having one. That's why there are choices. But opposed to the point you now bring up, we brought up our initial preference based on some "good" that we see in...

  18. Do you LIKE every patient that walks through your door?

    Katie5 replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    That's a good way of looking at it, but when you have other patients needing serious help, having that quirky patient ask you irrelevant questions is bound to make you quirky

  20. Trying to understand difference between LPN and RN practice....

    Katie5 replied to lovesunsets's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It depends on what you studied. Having a degree in "Biological Sounds" or "Animal Matter" does not amount to much. The course plays a role too. A big one too, I might

    Katie5 replied to lovesunsets's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    A beaten and trampled down question. There is hierarchy in all aspects of life. Heck even the animal species have that with man being at the head of species. Don't complain about your lot, if you...

  22. An RN friend being set up at her job, are even threatening her license; need advice

    Katie5 replied to mondkmondk's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry for your RN friend but why would she want to lay her head down in full view of others employees and visitors alike at the nursing station. The break room would have been a better

  23. Considering relocating to San Antonio, Dallas or Austin

    Katie5 replied to m2nurse's topic in Texas Nursing

    I find it curious that you had to throw in your sexual orientation. I mean even without that, the message you were trying to pass across came

  24. Lost it at Work

    Katie5 replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    Well you shouldn't- especially when you know that you're tired, because if something were to happen they wouldn't recognise that fact. What they would tell you is, you shouldn't have come in, if you...

  25. Fitting in at a new job

    Katie5 replied to Angela0486's topic in General Nursing

    That will come with time and if it doesn't no need to worry over it. You gain respect with your skill levels and work ethics. At this point, you might want to listen more than you speak. And also...
