  1. Procedure on this? Nurse and her abuser

    Red Kryptonite replied to CMarieRN87's topic in General Nursing

    This is the problem with small town anywhere....it's Podunk as hell and apparently law enforcement is 20 years behind at all times. Have these morons never heard of stalking laws?! This guy is...

  2. What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

    Red Kryptonite replied to fangirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Really makes you wonder what the day nurse was

  3. "I have an ethical problem"

    Red Kryptonite replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    My husband is an Afghanistan vet, as offended as anyone by stolen valor claims, but that doesn't mean we deny the reality of homeless veterans. Why do you think so many service programs aimed...

  4. Procedure on this? Nurse and her abuser

    Red Kryptonite replied to CMarieRN87's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't disagree more. Her employer hasn't done crap. That's not a safe assumption. Sex offender registry is fairly new (give or take 20 years) in most states. Depending on OP's age, that...

  5. What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

    Red Kryptonite replied to fangirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ummm, you seem to be lacking both some basic historical knowledge and math skills. The Civil War ended in 1865. That's 150 years ago. For anyone living today to have owned slaves, they'd have to be...

  6. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    Red Kryptonite replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    Do you seriously believe that license revocation is never

  7. Advice on handling comments from well-meaning family members who just don't "get it."

    Red Kryptonite replied to heystargirl's topic in General Students

    So you're working two full time jobs? Were you doing that while in school? If so, I think your mother has a good

  8. Call offs

    Red Kryptonite replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, but if you're not clocked in they can say you're not officially working. And then they could charge you with a HIPAA violation, because you are accessing patient charts while off the clock....

  9. Jacksonville U. vs U.of Phoenix

    Red Kryptonite replied to prplRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Jacksonville is not for profit. Just because a school is private doesn't make it for profit. FAST

  10. Procedure on this? Nurse and her abuser

    Red Kryptonite replied to CMarieRN87's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for saying this. When that first got said, my gut reaction was to recoil. What a thing to say to an abuse victim! The fact that he spent time in prison fixes just about NOTHING for the...

  11. Procedure on this? Nurse and her abuser

    Red Kryptonite replied to CMarieRN87's topic in General Nursing

    I guess now we know the significance of LadyFree's

  12. What is the pay rate for a LPN ?

    Red Kryptonite replied to janevance66's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Holy.

  13. First CNA job

    Red Kryptonite replied to Angela89's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Go to the interviews. What kind of facilities or agencies are they with? And yes, the staffing lady is nuts. But you need to learn to say no to people. It's a critical life

  14. Frustrated with another CNA

    Red Kryptonite replied to DesiDani's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Keep going up the chain, I guess. However, if the charge and NM for the unit are fine with this disgusting set of circumstances, be prepared to get nowhere. You seem to have found a toxic unit. You...

  15. Dating during school

    Red Kryptonite replied to level1's topic in Male Nursing Students

    He didn't ask about dating. He asked about strategies for running through as many of his female classmates as he could before they figured it out and froze him out. I've been to college and am well...

  16. "I have an ethical problem"

    Red Kryptonite replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    My dad was a cop in SoCal for 30 years and he told me the same thing. Long term homeless are that way because it's what they prefer. People who are motivated not to be homeless find and use the...

  17. What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

    Red Kryptonite replied to fangirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Honestly makes me wonder what year I'm living

  18. Dating during school

    Red Kryptonite replied to level1's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Yes, you're supposed to have fun. The definition of fun should not include treating female colleagues like mayonnaise

  19. Procedure on this? Nurse and her abuser

    Red Kryptonite replied to CMarieRN87's topic in General Nursing

    If you document this harassment, it seems like you might be able to get a restraining order against him with the established history. Then he wouldn't be able to go into any office where you work. If...

  20. Death of infant born at freestanding birth center deemed a homicide

    Red Kryptonite replied to queenanneslace's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    My fifth child was an unintentional home birth. I planned to go to the hospital I had used for my fourth, but she was in too big a hurry. I was alone when my water broke and I started pushing. The...

  21. You will all probably hate me for this

    Red Kryptonite replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    Is there a membership card for this

  22. What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

    Red Kryptonite replied to fangirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We had a man with a known hx as a child molester on the tele unit I worked one time. The other aide I was working with that night came out of his room white and shaking. Apparently she had unwisely...

  23. What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

    Red Kryptonite replied to fangirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Honestly, I think the charge nurse should be in there with discharge paperwork at that point. "I am so sorry to hear you don't associate with black people. Since our hospital employs many, many...

  24. You will all probably hate me for this

    Red Kryptonite replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    See, people often accuse others of thread hijacking, and I just don't see it. Conversations have a rhythm, take turns, and develop naturally, often into something totally different than what they...

  25. Nursing loans really that bad? 120K

    Red Kryptonite replied to nursequery1's topic in General Students
