  1. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    ksrn20 replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So, first let's take a moment to clarify your claim of being an RN. Just because you change your username does not cancel out your previous posts. Just in 2012 you were struggling to pass the TEAS...

  2. What did I do wrong?

    ksrn20 replied to mzsuccess's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yes, you can use the quote back on the mobile website-I'm doing now and always

  3. Question to those who had to take the HESI EXit RN

    ksrn20 replied to ChooSoul's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Maybe you wouldn't be so worried if you had truly worked hard and studied for your grades rather than, in your own words, "begged for sympathy points" from your professors. Can't wait to see your...

  4. Who punches a cancer patient?

    ksrn20 replied to 1wellnessnurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OP I'm sorry for what you are going through. My thoughts are with you and your

  5. Who punches a cancer patient?

    ksrn20 replied to 1wellnessnurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ever heard of compassion? OP is experiencing something extremely devastating right now. Also why criticize her for presenting the facts of the story. She didn't call him a name or anything. She simply...

  6. Who punches a cancer patient?

    ksrn20 replied to 1wellnessnurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Blaming the victim is a terrible terrible thing. Her father did not cause it. He was enjoying a walk. Even if the kid felt threatened-that is no justification for him to punch an elderly man. And no...

  7. Enterovirus D68

    ksrn20 replied to fetch's topic in School

    Exactly!!

  8. When a Resident Refuses

    ksrn20 replied to Nightowl_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It seems as though you were looking for better/more creative ways to document her refusal rather than explore how to actually help her as evidenced by whose comment you liked. Maybe you should...

  9. Full Code resident in LTC

    ksrn20 replied to BB00513's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  10. Is there really no way to refuse a mandatory flu shot?

    ksrn20 replied to tariqblaze's topic in Disaster Preparation

  11. Food in the ER

    ksrn20 replied to Sassy5d's topic in Emergency

    You need to spend some time in an ER and then come back and post. The patients that are being vented about are usually in the large part of the ER population that do NOT pay for their ER

  12. The dumbest things you've heard from a provider

    ksrn20 replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Please tell me this doctor is not practicing anymore. How

  13. So bitter? So soon?

    ksrn20 replied to CP2013's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Could not agree more! Well

  14. Need advise about denied vacation.....

    ksrn20 replied to Glycerine82's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    She stated she is a CNA and secretary not a nurse therefore my guess is she paid the same for both positions. In that case, no they aren't paying a nurse for secretarial work and the employer cannot...

  15. Need advise about denied vacation.....

    ksrn20 replied to Glycerine82's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    How terrible! You should definitely fight all this

  16. Just got fired -

    ksrn20 replied to blondebabe0625's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Exactly! I seriously thought maybe I had gone crazy because of my thoughts as everyone seemed to support and agree with OP. Glad to see someone agreed with my thoughts

  17. Urine dip question

    ksrn20 replied to Disneywed's topic in General Nursing

    I use a sterile dropper to suck up the urine and then add one drop to each square on the multistix. And when theres only a little bit from say a pediatric cath specimen I use a syringe and needle to...

  18. Just got fired -

    ksrn20 replied to blondebabe0625's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm sorry you got fired however, I do see this a little differently. You state quite a few times that the resident has dementia and "doesn't even know what meal she's going to or what time of day it...

  19. Single moms, daycare and day shift

    ksrn20 replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in General Nursing

    And thank you for you concern but my children know that I have faith in them and I believe my parenting is just

  20. Single moms, daycare and day shift

    ksrn20 replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in General Nursing

    It's not my children's competencies that I'm worried about. I do not doubt that they would do just fine getting themselves up and ready. My concern lies in the idea of them being alone for an hour....

  21. New CNA needs to be fired, but is union.

    ksrn20 replied to CaitlynRNBSN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What a terrible environment you have to work in! So sorry that you have to deal with someone like

  23. Newborn Oximetry

    ksrn20 replied to west37's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    In the pediatric ER I work at we do have many different types of O2 probes based on weight much like the previous posters' link. However, we never really use them by weight. I usually use the neonatal...

  24. Narcotic count

    ksrn20 replied to newrn776's topic in Patient Medications

    This sounds pretty childish to me and makes me wonder if you really belong in nursing. All you are concerned about is if you will get in trouble?? What you both did was extremely wrong. Did you ever...

  25. "normal" UA glucose level for diabetic

    ksrn20 replied to Gonzalez10's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not exactly sure but I believe in a known diabetic the ketones in the urine are more important to pay attention to over the glucose in the
