  1. Unsupportive spouse?

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

    Well, you know the traditional method of separating the wheat from the chaff was to beat it with flails, right? Pressure separates the good and useful from the waste. It's just too bad people didn't...

  2. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    Red Kryptonite replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    Well publicized case here in AZ. She was most recently listed as an imposter nurse on the BON website last fall. Apparently she kept representing herself as a nurse after her license was

  3. Unsupportive spouse?

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

    Eh, tabula rasa has been fairly well discredited. We are all a mix of biology and social environment. Gender differences are neither 100% biological nor 100%

  4. Is this appropriate behaviour when placing a condom catheter?

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

    Now that I've had more time to digest this..... That mother is sexually abusing both her children. As a nurse you are a mandated reporter. ETA I see it looks like the patient and his sister may be...

  5. NAU BSN Mid-AAS Track

    Red Kryptonite replied to nellynel07's topic in General Students

    Hmmmm, as a current Gateway LPN student looking for options in the future, this looks interesting. Thanks for

  6. Childhood Obesity: Breaking the Cycle

    Red Kryptonite replied to cynboys's topic in Patient Education

    So you want the government actively attacking legal businesses and trying to make them fail? What happens when they decide to go after a business class you like? Do you even realize the utter...

    Red Kryptonite replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    And Mike Rowe's (the Dirty Jobs guy) foundation awards scholarships to help people go to trade/technical schools and learn these skills. Look into that if you're

  9. I am starting to love wound care - am I nuts?

    Red Kryptonite replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    After cleaning, packing, and dressing a fairly gnarly dehisced abdominal incision during my clinicals, I can see the appeal. You're dealing calmly and professionally with stuff that would send most...

  10. Unsupportive spouse?

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

    I don't deny that there are some biologically-based differences. I don't think they're quite as pronounced as the general public thinks they are. And I think each person should be approached as an...

  11. I Got Head Lice

    Red Kryptonite replied to uthscsa2011's topic in School

    Spidey, crotchfruit is a term used to refer to children, but in the context of taking down an uppity parent a peg or two. As in, stop going on and on about how wonderful and unique and special and...

  12. I Got Head Lice

    Red Kryptonite replied to uthscsa2011's topic in School

    The first time I saw that term I found it so offensive, but it's kind of grown on me. It definitely has its

  13. Unsupportive spouse?

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

    What year is it? And clearly, you haven't raised any teenage boys. Dear Lord I thought I would have to buy him pads at certain points! But then, he's always had permission to express his emotions in...

  14. "I don't want to die"

    Red Kryptonite replied to anh06005's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just the other night, I cared for a woman whose COPD exacerbation was so bad that if she took off her nonrebreather, running at 12L, for even a minute her sat went down to 50. She was crazy restless...

  15. Unsupportive spouse?

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

    Just another of the many reasons not to start having sex, moving in together, and generally getting overly involved and entangled way too soon, as has become the norm in our society. Taking things...

  18. Positive Drug Test

    Red Kryptonite replied to Tigerlily8's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have to agree. It seems utterly stupid to me, given the level of technological sophistication we've achieved, that these nurses have to worry about eating Asian food, using hand sanitizer, and...

  19. Unsupportive spouse?

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

    I've found this to be extremely untrue. They definitely are just as emotional, they just have less societal permission to express it, and that leads to its own whole set of

  21. I Got Head Lice

    Red Kryptonite replied to uthscsa2011's topic in School

    Seriously, if anyone brought home lice, scabies, bedbugs, etc. you'd probably just have to burn my house down. There are 7 people and 2 dogs living there and it's impossible to get it decently clean...

  22. 14 year old boy wants to become a nurse(my story)

    Red Kryptonite replied to futurern_.'s topic in Men in Nursing

    That is very unfortunate and unfair. But, strong people who chart their own course in spite of all that are the ones who help change things for the

  25. Childhood Obesity: Breaking the Cycle

    Red Kryptonite replied to cynboys's topic in Patient Education

    The quote above directly mentions parental divorce and relationships that come after parental breakup and stress the kids. I don't know how much more direct that can
