  1. Working as a CNA/PCA do you feel able to make a living?

    Red Kryptonite replied to WCSU1987's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If I were young and single I could live on my CNA pay just fine. If I were married with no kids and my husband was working as a nurse? No problem. The thing that gets my finances into difficulty is...

  2. PEDS NURSES: What am I doing wrong??

    Red Kryptonite replied to BambiBelle07's topic in Pediatric

    Ok wait, I saw vaccines and assumed we were talking IM. Are there vaccines that get injected subcut? I guess I missed that part. What vaccines get injected subcutaneously? ETA: just found a...

  3. Family not supportive

    Red Kryptonite replied to ER_RNdreams's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is all you need to know to judge the value of the feedback you get from these people. They're so obviously ignorant, so really, their feedback is useless. They don't even know what they don't...

  4. Engagement Ring help!

    Red Kryptonite replied to a_nurses_bf's topic in General Nursing

    When you're degrading other people's commitment, and how much they value their sacrament or the vows they took, because they don't/can't wear a certain piece of property during a select number of...

  5. PEDS NURSES: What am I doing wrong??

    Red Kryptonite replied to BambiBelle07's topic in Pediatric

    Kinda hard to ztrack when the patient is kicking and squirming, but do look that up. I don't think you need a physician to teach you, just look up a description of the method. It's pretty simple and...

  6. Please I need advice!

    Red Kryptonite replied to Q_vick03's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Having read several of your posts, I know you're nearly 50 years old. Which makes you too old for this playground

  7. This week, I have learned... (5/30/15)

    Red Kryptonite replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, you've got resting b****-face? Let me give you a positive for that. Smiling makes lines. Resting b****-face stays nice and

  8. Apple Watch

    Red Kryptonite replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    There is an Arthur C. Clarke novel called The Light of Other Days that has this as an established part of life already. Fairly terrifying book, actually, but many of his are. Good read

  9. New Nurse Rocking it!

    Red Kryptonite replied to NurseCalamity's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I was with ya right up until here, buddy. As another poster recently, and hilariously said, gear down, there,

  10. Nurses Diverting Narcotics.

    Red Kryptonite replied to NurseCalamity's topic in General Nursing

    No kidding. My husband's workplace of four years (non-healthcare) just told him that he has no chance to move up and that they basically don't really trust him. FOUR mf-ing years of good...

  11. Engagement Ring help!

    Red Kryptonite replied to a_nurses_bf's topic in General Nursing

    I'm getting a little tired of this attitude. They're exactly the same to me. Obeying the realities of my workplace doesn't lessen

  12. Augmenting Labor (particularly before 39 weeks)

    Red Kryptonite replied to wilma30RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    $$$$$$$$$$ The sooner they get them admitted, the sooner they can start billing, and of course you're not gonna sit there and do nothing, so they start meddling and piling up interventions they can...

  13. Hippa violation

    Red Kryptonite replied to That1nurse's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    This is the second recent thread I've seen with lots of "well everyone else was doing it." Are we 10 years old around here? Nurses and even CNAs are educated about HIPAA and our scopes of practice....

  14. Augmenting Labor (particularly before 39 weeks)

    Red Kryptonite replied to wilma30RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If I could kiss you two, I would. It makes me happy to see people talking the risks

  15. LPN school 3 days per week?

    Red Kryptonite replied to MaleLPNStudent2's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My program is like this. I just finished the first semester (of 2) and it started out with 3 lab days a week, then went to 2 lecture, 1 clinical. I worked full time and pulled an A, so it can be...

  16. Nursing courtesy

    Red Kryptonite replied to KC,RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Brandon. If this nurse takes over from you often, s/he already knows your habits and whether you usually leave a clean workspace ready to go. If this one time that was different, s/he...

  17. hiding piercing holes?

    Red Kryptonite replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    I think the freckle stud is an inspired solution for that particular piercing. I've been wanting to get my nose re-done but have to wait until LPN school is done. But now that I know freckle studs...

  18. Liking members at AN

    Red Kryptonite replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    Odd. The one person I have blocked still shows up blocked, and 99% of the time I'm on my Droid phone. I do have the option of clicking a "spoiler" but almost never do. If someone quotes them, of...

  19. Nursing School Vs Med School, no comparison

    Uncool

    I've had a couple pinot grigios and I still have no

  21. Engagement Ring help!

    Red Kryptonite replied to a_nurses_bf's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes it's about more than the material. My rings, and his, were blessed during our wedding. That's irreplaceable. Plus, my wedding band is custom made, and the engagement ring style hasn't...

  22. Hippa violation

    Red Kryptonite replied to That1nurse's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Sounds like it's time to demand an audit of your computer activity to clear your

  23. Engagement Ring help!

    Red Kryptonite replied to a_nurses_bf's topic in General Nursing

    I'm pretty old-fashioned too. Doesn't change the realities of where I

    Red Kryptonite replied to MedStudentNotRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    35 posts and counting....this is one well-fed

  25. Hippa violation

    Red Kryptonite replied to That1nurse's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    First, it's HIPAA, as in Health Information Portability and Accountability Act. Second, did you actually do the things of which you are
