  2. Is nursing a sick , petty , vindictive world?

    Katie5 replied to Bono Rose's topic in General Nursing

    It is a common attitude you see with a large gathering of female species. Being common, doesn't neccessarily right, but that's what gives. I've met some of the best females in nursing and I've met...

    Katie5 replied to Sugar-Phosphate's topic in General Nursing

    How did a fast paced person such as yourself work in a slow paced place such as housekeeping?Your current ideal? There are all kind of things wrong with this picture you're painting dear. I won't...

  6. How would you rate your RN position?

    Katie5 replied to Sugar-Phosphate's topic in General Nursing

    You don not even seem sure about the nursing school. Your pace can either be as fast or slow as you make it. I'm a bit baffled though- as a new grad, is it your wish to jump into fast paced pronto?...

  10. How do I stop getting my feelings hurt?

    Katie5 replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You're a UNIT MANAGER, so you're in an administrative position. The LPNs can be upset all they want but you needn't take it out on them. The fault comes from your administration. If they wanted you to...

  11. "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

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

    I have also found that some LPNs carry a defensive shield on their shoulders. Quick to get defensive and snappy when asked a question. "Yes, you have always done it that way, but isn't there just a...

    Katie5 replied to DeLana_RN's topic in General Nursing

  13. Trifling, tricky, 2 faced cnas!!. what to do what to do??

    Katie5 replied to sasha2lady's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This is merely heresy. Did you hear these words told to you? If whoever told you is bold enough, then have them say it in front of the other person. I truly do not like stuff like this- if you can...

    Katie5 replied to Bono Rose's topic in General Nursing

    Every profession has some element of cut-throat in it. You just pray you find the right fit, working with true professionals. And to answer your question- No, nursing is actually a rewarding field...

  18. "Borrowing" one patient's med for another.

    Katie5 posted a topic in General Nursing

    This does not sit too well with me. But it happens all the time. I'm wondering when it comes to documentation, what then do they write?You, "borrowed" from this patient? Or if not, then where did it...

  19. The "Experience"..

    Katie5 posted a topic in General Nursing

    *Sigh* This special word and one of the most commonly heard in nursing-and a pain for new grads! So, when do you cross from being a novice to having "the experience". Is it measured in years, skills...

    Katie5 replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    Try not to be mocking. One thing that one person said should not make the whole bunch bad. It's hard not to, but we shouldn't paint everyone with the same

  24. which patients are in/out of your comfort zone?

    Katie5 replied to PureLifeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Right now, I won't say anything is or is not in my comfort zone. I don't want to limit myself like that because I haven't tried everything yet. But on the above, now that may give some restriction. I...

  25. which patients are in/out of your comfort zone?

    Katie5 replied to PureLifeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Most people say kids and I think the issue on that is the vulnerability of babies- they are just so fragile and everything one their body is tiny. A tiny mistake could be
