  1. Conflict resolution

    kcmylorn posted a topic in Nurse Management

    Why do nurse managers always solve a conflict between 2 staf members with a meeting with the 2 conflicting staffers? I have never found this to be helpful. I find it only creates long lasting ill...

  5. How to make money while searching?

    kcmylorn replied to IKnowYouRider's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Why not go to unemployment- at least apply for it and see what they say. Don't assume that you don't qualify and don't believe every thing the employer/hospital/nurse manager tells you- they don't...

  6. Am I crazy or what to drive 90 miles each way for first nursing job

    kcmylorn replied to sharon2012rn's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

  7. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    kcmylorn replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm finding this ban gun posts alittle long winded and pretty boring, along with the nit picking of every sentance made by posters with the opposing view. All the banning in the world is not going...

    kcmylorn replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Our police are over burdened now with trying to stop the drug trafficking. What are they going to do when gun smuggling comes to town. You all know that when we ban all guns, there are still going to...

  9. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    kcmylorn replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am not a fan, nor am I a member of the NRA. I do not own a gun, I have ever seen a "real gun" nor have I ever owned a gun. I am terrified of guns. This would not be something I would have in my own...

    kcmylorn replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am just opininionating here- I read yesterday, that kid's mother also grew up around guns. She was described as being from a "gun culture". She grew up in New Hampshire- which has many rural areas....

  13. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

    kcmylorn replied to bree*'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You are not alone- I'm in a similar boat. I got screwed by an agency- promised me extra money per hour for doing a shift no one wanted- then they refused to give me my pay stub and I know I didn't...

  16. Do you think psychiatric care is inadequate in the US?

    kcmylorn replied to MusicEMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  17. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    kcmylorn replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My thought is- even if we had laws to ban all guns, there would still be smuggling and those that want, will get them. Just like illegal drugs. There still remains the core issue of mental health and...

    kcmylorn replied to sweetgeorgia's topic in First Year After Licensure

    kcmylorn replied to Mindful's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union
