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

    Red Kryptonite replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    Whew....I don't think I've seen quite that much petticoat ruffling in quite a while! Murder is a crime that impacts all of society. Nursing is a profession that involves trusting the health and lives...

  2. combative patients

    Red Kryptonite replied to clarinets's topic in General Nursing

    Easy to do until they start punching, biting, and scratching. I agree that repeatedly replacing the cannula and scolding about it probably caused the patient to become agitated. Next time just tell...

  3. Valedictorian caught cheating

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

    I'd refuse to go to my graduation. I think your whole class should just refuse to show up, in protest. You still get your degree whether you "walk" and get pinned, or not. Let her give her...

  4. Help stop unfair hiring practices for stipulated nurses in Texas

    Red Kryptonite replied to Nursinwill's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Look, I'm sure this is going to tick you off, but paying a penalty you earned through your choices is not

  5. Valedictorian caught cheating

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

    What the.....who is she sleeping with?! My program has a one strike rule when it comes to cheating, and that's as it should be! With waiting lists what they are, no cheater should be allowed to take...

  6. No friends at work

    Red Kryptonite replied to rn5730's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is some of the feedback OP has gotten: I'm curious to know, OP, how you know you have the highest amount of patient compliments among the staff. Is that information usually shared by...

  7. nclex pn for the third time!!!!

    Red Kryptonite replied to sarahlee21's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Look, I'm a religious person and believe in the power of prayer, but why would God "help" a person who can't demonstrate basic knowledge become a nurse? I hope you passed. But if you did so, you did...

  8. Half of the class fails

    Red Kryptonite replied to kblas's topic in General Students

    Oh dear Lord....well, at least you live up to your username. Funny how you said this in another thread... ....yet you seem to think that broad, judgemental generalizations about nursing instructors...

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

    Red Kryptonite replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    Or maybe she kills patients who make her feel inadequate. She's in a position where people die around her, probably, with some frequency, so it would be easy to hide. How many nurses have we heard...

  10. 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

    Take the probationary license and do what you can with it. So you won't be able to get the plumb jobs right away. Well, sorry, you earned that. Take your medicine, put up with it for a few years,...

  11. HIPAA/ Confidentiality Violation??

    Red Kryptonite replied to thunigan's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm friends on Facebook with another CNA with whom I got trained. She works in a PICU and talks WAY too much about work on her page. I'm frankly shocked she hasn't yet been disciplined, but I think...

  12. No friends at work

    Red Kryptonite replied to rn5730's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What is this, junior high? Wrong. You have your family and by your own admission you have one coworker standing up for you. You also have your license, skills, experience, and ability to earn a...

  13. Zombie Apocalypse: WWND?

    Red Kryptonite replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    When it comes to ZA just remember: you don't have to be the fastest, you just have to be a little faster than that other guy. My husband is very weapon-y and a military-certified marksman. He's...

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

    Red Kryptonite replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    I knew a cop who beat the tar out of a guy who hit his sister. He wasn't defending her or himself. He found out it had happened, laid in wait, and jumped the guy. He was dismissed from the police...

  15. 1st Semester Passed by the grace of God

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

    I just got my final grade for my first semester as well. What a relief! I too have worked full time, put on 10 lbs., am raising 5 kids, and couldn't have done it without my husband. Looking forward...

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

    Red Kryptonite replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, when it comes to cold-blooded murder, you don't get to use this. You just

  17. Liking members at AN

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

    Probably an auto-correct

  18. What have you learned about Death?

    Red Kryptonite replied to g2255lw's topic in General Nursing

    OMG that ad actually made me angry. How negating and disrespectful! The appropriate response is, "And I'll be there to open it when it's time." And "nurses heal" at the end? That sounds cute, but...

  19. A very difficult decision

    Red Kryptonite replied to 89**11's topic in General Nursing

    After six years, this employer is treating you extremely crappily. To make a long term employee interview for a simple change of shift? Sorry this is

  20. Nurses Diverting Narcotics.

    Red Kryptonite replied to NurseCalamity's topic in General Nursing

    I'm very confused by this post. I see nothing in the thread that would prompt

  21. Male student enters OB room. What do you think?

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

    The hospital I used to work at did in fact provide only male caregivers if requested, wherever possible. Our unit always had at least one male on every shift. If the nurse had to be female, he could...

  22. Minimum Wage + LVN Wage

    Red Kryptonite replied to g2255lw's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Whew...realizing how good I have it in "backward" non-union

  23. I really need some advice. I dont know if I want to be a nurse much longer.

    Red Kryptonite replied to alydee1's topic in General Nursing

    I really, truly am shocked. Maybe the recent merger will help them

  24. Eliminating the LPN position

    Red Kryptonite replied to WCSU1987's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    No, they've been talking about LPNs being eliminated for well over 40 years, and it hasn't happened yet. *disclaimer: I am a current LPN

  25. What is considered a failing grade in Practical Nursing school?

    Red Kryptonite replied to linzipinzi's topic in Canada

    In mine passing is 76%. And 75.999999% is
