  1. What have you learned about Death?

    Red Kryptonite replied to g2255lw's topic in General Nursing

    What if new users weren't allowed to post until they filled in the info on the "about"

  2. New Grad with DUI from 2 years ago...What to expect next? Is employment possible?

    Red Kryptonite replied to newgradui's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    That's because you are one. You committed and were convicted of a crime. Your minimizing attitude bothers me. DUI is nothing to make light

  3. So 39 weeks is the full term cut off now?

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

    As well they should be! Any responsible professional connected with birth should be disgusted by that. Why is it we Americans are so compelled to meddle?

  4. I hate being a CNA

    Red Kryptonite replied to *K($$'s topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I wish there was a likeX1000 button. This is exactly why I find hospice so fulfilling. OP, you say nursing is definitely what you want to do. Why? We know what you don't like. What DO you like?...

  5. Family not supportive

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

    Go to a legal aid office and find out what you need to do to become an emancipated minor. Or, where's dad? Is he any help? Grandparents? Aunts or uncles? Older siblings? Is there

  6. Director of Nursing- When is enough, enough.

    Red Kryptonite replied to sain's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with sjalv. Plus, your stated attitude that you are going to stick this out no matter how hard they make it, that you will succeed no matter the cost? That's the one that lands people in...

  7. Valedictorian caught cheating

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

    It's not, but you've been so derisive toward those of us who dare put any value in graduations and such, while also proclaiming you don't care.....seems a mismatch to me. If you don't care at all, as...

  8. Valedictorian caught cheating

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

    Then why did you even bother to comment on this thread? This situation affects you exponentially less than your own graduation you didn't care

  9. Director of Nursing- When is enough, enough.

    Red Kryptonite replied to sain's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like it's time for a sit-down with your superior. Did you see a job description when you were hired? If not (tsk,tsk) do you know where you can find it? Where I work, I can get job...

  10. 3:00 a.m. victory

    Red Kryptonite posted a topic in General Nursing

    That moment when your dementia patient, who is agitated because he hasn't had a BM in over 3 days, finally poops and then goes right to sleep after a suppository, an enema, a couple ounces of prune...

  11. 3:00 a.m. victory

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

    These little old folks really do get bowel-obsessed. God save me from the day I get that way.

  12. Valedictorian caught cheating

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

    Well, for some of us, traditional ceremonies still have meaning, and I think we at least have the right to expect that academic frauds not be named

  13. So 39 weeks is the full term cut off now?

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

    Wow, that's one advanced

  14. Failed, nclex rn 5 times! Help?!?!

    Red Kryptonite replied to lystacy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    "Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people." ~ Eleanor

  15. Failed, nclex rn 5 times! Help?!?!

    Red Kryptonite replied to lystacy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The states that allow endless attempts need to take responsibility and change their rules. After three fails, a nursing refresher course should be required. You're just letting people repeatedly...

  16. Better off single?

    Red Kryptonite replied to westcounty's topic in General Students

    The key to marital success is to choose wisely, then treat kindly. Nothing can fix it if you don't do the first part. It seems the step known as "discernment" is getting routinely left out these days...

  17. CNA requirement after 1st quarter completion?

    Red Kryptonite replied to katidid114's topic in General Students

    So you got an unfair and inappropriate exception from the rules, and now you're angry that the higher ups walked it back. Whoever gave you that exception screwed you, because now you've ended up...

  18. Quest for more cash, what are my options as an RN?

    Red Kryptonite replied to mhy12784's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, I saw this title and all I could think of was the end of Spaceballs, when Mel Brooks says, "God willing, we'll all be back in Spaceballs 2: The Quest for More

  19. Liking members at AN

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

    Over a soap opera?! Which is fictional...... Holy crap, some people really need to get

  20. Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    Red Kryptonite replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    The conversation went past the individual and into the philosophical a long time

  21. LPN in Hospice nursing?

    Red Kryptonite replied to NurseDirtyBird's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I work hospice in Arizona, and we use tons of LPNs both in our inpatient units and in the field. As far as I know, LPNs can pronounce here. When working inpatient, I've never seen a LPN have to call...

  22. Valedictorian caught cheating

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

    Your politics are irrelevant. I said that because of Mrs. Clinton declaring at the Benghazi hearing that it made no difference whether she lied. I don't think most Americans agree with that. And...

  23. Liking members at AN

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

    OMG me too. Yep, that place really could be a cesspool of nasty beeches. I specifically remember bottle-feeders who would troll the breastfeeding board and WOHMs and SAHMs attacking each other...

  24. Valedictorian caught cheating

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

    Thanks for checking in, Mrs. Clinton. Had any good emails

  25. Sadly I won't get to go to school.....

    Red Kryptonite replied to nasr69's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm sorry, that really stinks. Did you look into loans at all? Although I understand being reluctant to take on debt when both your incomes are
