  5. 6th attempt on Nclex ---> PASS!!!!!

    kty1 replied to jadu1106's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Maybe so, but I'd rather have the top 10% of the MD graduates. That's like saying that getting honors through nursing school doesn't matter because know one knows after graduation, but not true....

  7. Comatose patient can't close his eyes and has no curtain for sun protection

    kty1 replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    This would not work in the real world as you know nurses are constantly running around and cannot fit into their plan as to when the sun is glaring in the patient's window or not; or if it's overcast...

  10. Have you been assaulted by a patient?

    kty1 replied to CrabbyPatty's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    i understand that patients who are unaware of their surroundings can act out and hurt medical staff, but will not understand patients and family members who are quite aware and act out their...

  11. Have you been assaulted by a patient?

    kty1 replied to CrabbyPatty's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am sorry to hear about the abuse, but I will never be of mind to think it is "something we have to get used to". I do agree our jobs can get physical, but I will report it each time and not turn a...

  12. Have you been assaulted by a patient?

    kty1 replied to CrabbyPatty's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    WE ABSOLUTELY ALL NEED TO COME TOGETHER ON ABUSE TOWARDS MEDICAL STAFF. I BELIEVE WE CAN CONTINUE TO GIVE BETTER QUALITY CARE WHEN WE ARE NOT AFRAID AND THAT OUR EMPLOYER WILL DEFEND AND PROTECT

  13. Have you been assaulted by a patient?

    kty1 replied to CrabbyPatty's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What a sad story for the lady married to this patient; and glad you were not hurt. Shame is was based on facts; as it was almost comical to hear the "punch line" of 30 years!!!!! Wow!!! Poor

  14. Have you been assaulted by a patient?

    kty1 replied to CrabbyPatty's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    kohala, good for you! that's what's missing is reporting these people. instead of shrinking away because you think you will be fired; report your injuries so you are protected. if we continue to have...

  15. Have you been assaulted by a patient?

    kty1 replied to CrabbyPatty's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You are lucky, as that is not where the majority of nurses work. We do not have tasers, guns, or security at our sides. It is a ashame that nurses are not protected from patients who ARE aware of...

    kty1 replied to gumby1411's topic in General Students

    GREAT RESPONSE!! HOW DOES ANYONE KNOW THESE DAYS? JUST REMOVE YOUR SCRUBS BEFORE ENTERING THE HOME YOU SHARE WITH FAMILY/FRIENDS. WE ALL KNOW HOW WE JUST WANT TO RUN OUT THE DOOR WHEN IT'S TIME TO...

  17. How do you wash your scrubs?

    kty1 replied to gumby1411's topic in General Students

    You should still be proactive by changing before leaving or entering your home. It's just good

    glad to hear your story; as it's nice to hear people realize scrubs need to be taken off immediately upon getting home and thrown into the hamper. i see so.....many people who work in the hospital/ltc...

  19. Nurses not speaking english at work

    kty1 replied to Guest296136's topic in General Nursing

    hello judy, i speak two languages, but would never hold conversations with other peers in front of another nurse who does not speak the language as this is just rude. rude is rude in any language and...

  20. Nurses not speaking english at work

    kty1 replied to Guest296136's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe not, but everyone knew what she meant! If you're illegal you need to leave and come in the way millions of people have "through the front doors with your papers" not climbing over boarder...

  21. NJ Disorderly Persons Charge

    kty1 replied to BCCstudent's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Thank you for your response and do understand your point. I wanted to be clear that I was only pointing out that some people think its "ok" for people to steal, lie, etc; and such defend this. I find...

  22. Nurses not speaking english at work

    kty1 replied to Guest296136's topic in General Nursing

    It is not up to the "isloated person" to ask the other nurses to stop speaking in another tongue. It is not the RN problem. For you to point to her as it SHE was the problem concerns me and your use...

    kty1 replied to jrsygirl's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Oh really, and what were you doing in the post I replied to? What do you call that? My guess is that you do not even know what a moral compass is. Again, Shame on you! Your responses are not...

    kty1 replied to jrsygirl's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    all is can say is again - i was raised with a high moral compass and this has nothing to do with how others might act out. so, please save your lectures for people of such calibra. you response is so...
