  1. Do you correct your professor?

    kenni replied to RN9742's topic in General Students

    remember that theory (textbook) is far different from practicum (real world). you might even find textbooks that contradict eachother. also nursing practices are constantly changing. I say this...

  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?

    kenni replied to Toots71506's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    learning the parts of the body is the easy part. learning how they work together and when they are sick, THAT'S the hard

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

    kenni replied to noyesno's topic in General Students

    I find it kind of odd to call an instructor by their first name. even when I was taking courses for another major I only called professors by their first names if they requested it. IDK it's a...

  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...

  10. I'm sure this has been said.. MA's calling themselves Nurses

    kenni replied to AprilN's topic in General Nursing

    I believe this site says it is open to all nurses, nursing students, nurse aides, and ppl aspiring to be nurses some

  11. I'm sure this has been said.. MA's calling themselves Nurses

    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...

  13. Another nurse bites the dust due to facebook

    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

  15. How to ask for a pay raise???

    kenni replied to Kspice's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I live in one of the top 5 largest cities. here each hospital has a specified amount they pay ALL new graduates. now when it's time for performance evals or if you are seeking other employment you are...

  16. texting at work

    kenni replied to questionsforall's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    lol u must be talking about my friend! I haven't seen her @ work, but everywhere we go she is constantly texting. she never puts that phone down! I can only imagine how she is in the

  17. Speaking of facebook...inappropriate...but am I within my rights...?

    kenni replied to laurasc's topic in General Nursing

    one of my co-workers has ALL of our residents as friends. I don't see the problem. FB is a 'social networking site'. nurses and residents can be 'friends' just like nurses and managers. besides, what...

  18. How do you wear your hair for clinicals?

    kenni replied to Kamdyn's topic in General Students

    I wore my hair pulled up in a nice, neat bun. I too have long hair and my instructors would complain not because my ponytail looked messy, but it was so long hair was flying all over the place and...

  19. What is NS NOT compatible with?

    kenni replied to 2blessed2Bstressed's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just curious where some of you are getting your information because I'm looking up all of these meds on the micromedex website and have only found a few of them to be true! BTW dilantin & D5W...

  20. Elective Primary C/S

    kenni replied to Gem97's topic in Ob/Gyn

    some of these young ladies act like they are the first to ever have a baby come out of "there." like it's completely unheard of and why have they been chosen to deliver a child that way. you're not...

  21. Need advice - bail on my accelerated BSN for an ADN?(long)

    kenni replied to fleur-de-lis's topic in General Nursing

    I am sick of this discussion, and every time it seems like the ADNs are talking down about BSN like it's a waste of money! I am currently a BSN student, and I have much respect for the ADNs, LVNs,...

  22. Camp Nurses - Please Introduce Yourself Here.

    kenni replied to nightingale's topic in Camp

    I'm not really a camp nurse, but I just finished a school elective for nursing children with pku. I don't think I'll ever participate in camp nursing

  23. Andrea Yates R.N.

    kenni replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    exactly, if she were really psychotic! i'm from this area and everyone here is sick of hearing about her and how the rest of the world is hopping on her bandwagon. everyone is like "poor andrea."...

  24. Yeah, that's right, it's my fault.

    kenni replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    people tend to think nurses make "good money." I must admit, nurses make more money than anyone in my family has ever made, but I won't feel guilty about that when I start practicing. I have a...

  25. Directed pushing

    kenni replied to LauraLou's topic in Ob/Gyn

    it sounds like your internship was with a nurse-midwife (not that anything is wrong with that). nurse-midwives tend to stress the importance of making the woman comfortable & letting her labor...
