2. Patients and the race card

   kenni replied to CanadaEh's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   I hate when ppl make accusations of "pulling the race card". no one pulls the race card. if they say something it's because they feel they have been wronged or mistreated. we sometimes do things we...

3. LVNs training RNs???

   kenni replied to JStollRN's topic in General Nursing

   she may be an LVN and you're an RN but guess what: an LVN with years of experience can do more than an RN with no experience. you may not get to utilize all your nursing skills, but no one will do...

4. At my boiling point...you are NOT a Nurse...of ANY kind!!!!

   kenni replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

   as long as they are not referring to themselves as RNs or LVNs, there is nothing wrong or illegal. nursing has been around long before it was recognized as a profession and regulated. mothers and...

5. Is anatomy one of the toughest courses for nursing?

6. Do you call your teachers by their 1st names?

   kenni replied to noyesno's topic in General Students

7. What a blow to my ego

   kenni replied to letitbe_lindsay's topic in General Students

   I totally feel for you! there are a few nurses at my facility that like to eat new nurses. I thought it was just me until I talked to other nurses about it. I guess it made them feel smart that their...

8. Well, No Nursing for Me

   kenni replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

   most schools do require an exit test, like HESI. most require an 850, but my school requires a 900! all students who fail it are usually in between and find it unfair because if they were in another...

9. What is so bad about STATS?

   kenni replied to Kamdyn's topic in General Students

   I am VERY good in math, algebra, trig, calculus, etc. I would make 100s in math, especially drug cal. I struggled with statistics! IDK what it is... for some reason I just couldn't get it! I called...

    kenni replied to AprilN's topic in General Nursing

    I hear this and this discussion all the time. we are all NURSING, that is our job. not until the days of florence nightengale did it become a "profession". nurse midwives were around long before...

12. Fluid restrictions vs Patient rights

    kenni replied to HamsterRN's topic in General Nursing

    one of the most important things I learned in nursing school was how quick we are to label a pt. noncompliant. noncompliance comes with a stigma. let's try to find the root of why a patient is not...

    kenni replied to siringe's topic in Nursing News

    OMG this has NOTHING to do with HIPAA! (that's how it's spelled BTW) she did not disclose any personal or health information about the guy, she didn't mention the facility or anything. all she posted...

14. Is it ever appropriate to tell someone...

    kenni replied to dinah77's topic in General Students

    nurses might get paid "good money" but they also work hard for that money! anyone who is doing it only for the money won't get very
