    laKrugRN replied to Purple Lady's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  2. Does your hospital or facility badge include your credentials?

    laKrugRN replied to icuRNmaggie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I agree, your badge should say more than just "nurse" in lower case. At least RN! And I do not blame you one bit for wanting BSN on there as well. It is not an "I'm better than you" thing at all! And...

    laKrugRN replied to birddoghound's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  5. Question regarding NCLEX grading!!

    laKrugRN replied to NP2BJ's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    laKrugRN replied to tarotale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I've seen good and bad of both worlds. I've even worked with some phenomenal diploma nurses. I have a BSN. I do not think I am any better than anyone else. It's just a trend we are seeing. So many...

  7. LTC / Rehab...as bad as they say?

    laKrugRN replied to blackvans1234's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do for a job. Although, I know some nurses who LOVE elderly and LTC. I myself have a soft spot for the elderly. :) Give it a chance! Experience is

  10. Are we needed?

    laKrugRN replied to Joshhelpingothers's topic in Men in Nursing

    I love working with male nurses! You are a nurse, not a gender. I like that male nurses cut the tension of a usually catty and female filled profession. (I am a tomboy)

    laKrugRN replied to nirvana1's topic in Nursing Humor

    This makes me think of the movie "Where the Heart Is" where she names her kids after what she was craving during pregnancy. "Baby Ruth" "Cherry" "Praline" and "Brownie"

  19. Abuse at school

    laKrugRN replied to jdoezer's topic in General Students

    I'm a little confused by your post, but I believe if any abuse is truly going on then it needs to be reported to the Dean. Is this kind of answer you were

    laKrugRN replied to macksta233's topic in General Students
