  1. something need to be changed

    KentechRN replied to zahraa ali's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree with the posts here that the customer service based reimbursements are just a bad idea. I just got out of the tourism/entertainment business and I know what it's like when all focus is...

  2. Only a nurse would say......

    KentechRN replied to enigmaticorange's topic in Nursing Humor

    Make sure you don't flush so I can see your BM. Throw up in this basin so I can see it. Spit in this so I can see what color it

  3. PLEASE buy malpractice insurance!!

    KentechRN replied to Athena2's topic in General Nursing

    Perfect, that's what I carry and after reading this I'll have to be sure to keep it.

  4. PLEASE buy malpractice insurance!!

    KentechRN replied to Athena2's topic in General Nursing

    Just wondering which malpractice insurance you have. I do carry one but it sounds like yours really backed you up well.

  5. Working with student nurses

    KentechRN replied to LisaRN1105's topic in General Nursing

    I've only been a nurse for a short time and nursing school is still fresh in my mind. The nursing students on my floor are all from the same school I graduated from so I have a decent idea of what...

  6. What kind of Stethoscope do you have?

    KentechRN replied to nycNurse2b's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I use a Littmann classic that I recently purchased. I like having the bell side and the tunable diaphgragm and I definitely hear a difference between it and my old prestige medical stethoscope from...

  7. Question on risk of HIV exposure/infection

    KentechRN replied to LUV ALZ's topic in General Nursing

    I would want the extra PPE just for the flying bodily fluids. It has nothing to do with the patient having HIV or not. There is no need to expose yourself to these things regardless of what the...

  8. How should nursing schools pick students for admission?

    KentechRN replied to dudette10's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't require experience in patient care. Sure it's a good thing but previous experience does not guarantee they will be good and lack of it doesn't mean they will fail as a nurse. Many here may...

  9. Suicide and nurse's reaction

    KentechRN replied to HappyJaxRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In my clinical at a BHU our instructor always told us that it was a just a fine line that stood between us and the patient. She believed, as do I, that any person can be pushed over the brink given...

  10. Any phobias you overcame to become a nurse?

    KentechRN replied to linzjane88's topic in General Nursing

    Needles, needles, needles, needles. Didn't really if I was getting stuck or not, the things freaked me out. When I decided to go into healthcare I realized that this might be a problem and started...

  11. Deciding on my first Nursing Job

    KentechRN replied to NurseNancy88's topic in General Nursing

    If I was in that position I would jump at Hospital 2. It just sounds like a much more fulfilling and supportive environment, at least on

  12. RN or Radiography:

    KentechRN replied to mcim29's topic in Men in Nursing

    I also was deciding between radiologic tech and RN. I ended up going the RN route but you may eventually want to consider doing both. In certain settings both licenses could make you

  13. I cant pass the Nclex-PN!!!

    KentechRN replied to La'Monique's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did a lot of practice questions from a Saunders NCLEX prep book but I'm not sure what the name is anymore. It came with a CD with 5,000 practice questions that I made a lot of use

  14. photographic memory real??

    KentechRN replied to kitty222's topic in General Nursing

    A photographic memory or Eidetic memory isn't really something you can get. It's more of a natural ability to remember pages from books/photos almost perfectly with very little exposure to the...

  15. NEW GRAD, somebody's gotta give me chance!!!!!!!!!!!

    KentechRN replied to NayD_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was in pretty much the exact same situation. Only had a couple rather unimpressive jobs in the past and had not worked in a while. I have an Associates and a lot of places want experience or just...

  16. After Interview or Shadow? When to send thank you letter...

    KentechRN replied to HopefulRN2010's topic in General Nursing

    I sent an email and a thank you note to everyone who interviewed me. I got the job about two days after sending the thank you notes and my manager did thank me for the note the next time I spoke to...

  17. Pleez HELP! any ideas for a teaching project?

    KentechRN replied to mz-purposedriven_rn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well if you want to do some teaching with hygiene you could always look into the "germ" cream/powder and a black light as part of your presentation. A lot of A&P, Biology, & Nursing...

  18. fun: what does this photo say to you?

    KentechRN replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    That is NOT the proper use of the call

  19. Theme song to your Nursing career?

    KentechRN replied to sMoLsNurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    "It's the End of the World as We Know It" I listened to his before every test I took in nursing school and before my NCLEX-RN. I listened to it before my job interview today too

  20. Sorry..help with resume

    KentechRN replied to Shyhaylee's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in a similar situation as you are. If you've done anything relating to customer service it is good since it shows you can interact with people. Those of us without a lot of clinical experience...

  21. Is this fair??

    KentechRN replied to cna23's topic in General Nursing

    It's most likely also illegal if you are not getting paid for work done or not getting breaks that are probably mandated by labor

  22. I'm 17, going to study Child Nursing at uni, but will nurses and doctors laugh at me?

    KentechRN replied to HelloKittyForever's topic in Nursing Career

    Just don't act embarrassed or nervous about being who you are. If you have a strong personality then they can't help but respect you for expressing

  23. is there anything better to say then it's not your fault

    KentechRN replied to Trekfan's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes you really don't have to say anything. Just listen and be there for her to cry on if she needs it. If she's looking for reassurance then give it to her but if she just wants someone to...

  24. How important is statistics in nursing and nursing school?

    KentechRN replied to miyhaka's topic in General Students

    Statistics wasn't required for my AAS in Nursing (RN) and I graduated from the program. I don't feel like I missed anything by not having statistics although I do like

  25. NCLEX FREAKOUT!!

    KentechRN replied to Lucia1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Make sure you get a good night's sleep and that you are confident you know how to get to the testing center. Give yourself plenty of time to get to the testing center in the morning and have your...
