    Reduced lifespan for kidney donor?

    Headhurt replied to Dialyzin' Dar's topic in General Nursing

    My best friend had a kidney transplant 7 years ago, and her younger sister donated. Neither of which have been told that the sister's life was shortened because she was a donor. Three months sounds...

    tension between EMT and LTC nurses?

    Headhurt replied to smk1's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe the EMTs are just hacked off because it is not a trauma case that most tend to thrive on. Either that, or they have some sort of inferiority complex that they are working through. Don't...

    Deflating Moment for a Soon to be New Grad

    Headhurt replied to Headhurt's topic in General Nursing

    I was at the dentist yesterday getting my teeth cleaned. My dentist was asking me about school and stuff, telling me that his wife was also an RN, and had been such since the 70's. Anyway, he asked...

    Did I do the right thing?

    Headhurt replied to MedTechwannabeaNurse's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds like retribution for whistle-blowing. I think there are specific laws that guard nurses against such a thing. Was this situation handled through work only, or did it go to the board of...

    What nursing shortage? (rant)

    Headhurt replied to PMHNP10's topic in California Nursing

    I'm a little confused. Why would having bad credit, or even a late pay on your credit report hinder you from getting a job?? I can sort of see the point if you are applying to handle funds for a bank...

    New Nurse Salary

    Headhurt replied to murnahan5's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hey!! I happen to live in Cowtown!!! 42K is a lot to a new grad just out of school, but I think our GN's start out closer to 46-48K, depending on where you end up. Inner city hospitals tend to pay a...

    Any KU Nurses Out There???

    Headhurt posted a topic in General Nursing

    I went to a New Grad reception at KU Med last night, and I was encouraged by what they told me. Nurse managers were all over me like white on rice to apply and interview. They seemed very eager for me...

    What to say when male patients are being inappropriate?

    Headhurt replied to Sadie04's topic in General Nursing

    I recently talked to a security guard at my hospital about this sort of thing, and apparently ours has a zero-tolerance policy on abuse to nurses (and all staff for that matter). In the 7 years I have...

    CNA job types

    Headhurt replied to sherichance's topic in General Nursing

    Headhurt replied to IowaCindy's topic in General Nursing

    I'd just like to tip my hat to the Iowa folks for so graciously taking the snow off our hands. I also live in the KC area, and it is true. They were calling for Armageddon three days ago, then it was...

    Does your hospital have a morgue?

    Headhurt replied to Tiki_Torch's topic in General Nursing

    We have one, but it's not very big. It might hold two max, plus a few body parts. We once had a torso thawing in there. Some doctor had it for educational purposes. Oddly enough, it's next to the...
