  1. Work during LPN classes

    Red Kryptonite replied to JCa1978's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It's both. I'm currently working full time and attending a fast track LPN course that lasts two semesters. My grade is sitting on the line between A and B and my clinical instructor is satisfied...

  4. Bedpan? Why not a Poise pad?

    Red Kryptonite replied to TryVeganToday's topic in General Nursing

    You're giving me flashbacks to the horrible tele unit I used to work

  5. If you decided to be a RN, think again..

    Red Kryptonite replied to kate_ibl's topic in General Students

    After Googling for approximately 10 seconds, I discovered TEAS V test fees of anywhere from $45-75 for places as varied as Arizona State to Xavier University. Apparently different places charge...

  7. If you decided to be a RN, think again..

    Red Kryptonite replied to kate_ibl's topic in General Students

    *cue dramatic music* I paid all of $30 to take my HESI A2 entrance exam. And if you had a previous associate degree yet still needed a study guide for those entrance exams.....I'm sorry I really...

  8. Passing cut offs

    Red Kryptonite replied to vonricter222's topic in General Students

    Well, I guess we should just dispense with the NCLEX then. I mean, it's ONLY a test and doesn't tell you anything about what someone actually

  9. Question about ASN pay for LTC and LTACH

    Red Kryptonite replied to dreamer30's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I worked in one as an aide, and can die happy never working in a hospital again. My favorite saying about it is, "Been there, done that, burned the

  10. Is it better to become a CNA or LVN before entering into a Nursing Program ?

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

    This really depends on your community college system. In Maricopa County, LPNs who have their prereqs and coreqs done can apply for advanced placement into 3rd block, and become RNs in one

  11. Depressed New Grad

    Red Kryptonite replied to relizabeth's topic in Canada

    Just a little more life wisdom from someone who's been around a few years longer than you (I think): You shouldn't be planning your life and future around the needs of someone who hasn't committed his...

  12. Need help choosing my classes

    Red Kryptonite replied to manda90's topic in General Students

    How did you get through grade school, junior high, and high school with no science class,

  13. Passing cut offs

    Red Kryptonite replied to vonricter222's topic in General Students

    I don't. The minimum for my program is 76% and that's plenty low enough in my opinion. Do you really want people passing nursing programs who don't know 30% of the

  14. I need tips about eating when studying!!

    Red Kryptonite replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Hidden valley just came out with a dip mix meant to be used in nonfat Greek yogurt. I love veggies and ranch dip. I'm trying it this weekend, I'll let you know if it's any

  16. Which states are CNMs permitted to do homebirths?

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

    Did you actually go to the article and look at any of the peer-reviewed studies she cited? Or did you dismiss it based on the source and not even look? I'm betting it's the

  17. Which states are CNMs permitted to do homebirths?

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

    I made no assertion about any other type of higher risk birth other than VBAC. Unfortunately home VBAC is not a well-studied topic. I'll see if I can find some European resources where they...

  18. Which states are CNMs permitted to do homebirths?

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

    As to the original topic, CNMs can attend home births in Arizona, and last year the law finally got changed so they and LMs can attend VBACs at home! I am aware of two birth centers run by CNMs in...

  19. Which states are CNMs permitted to do homebirths?

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

    I had a HBA2C with a licensed midwife (not CNM) and would do it again. The medical model of birth failed me twice, and stole my births from me. I sure as hell wasn't giving them a third chance....

  20. DNR and Hospice

    Red Kryptonite replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    Holy shiitake mushrooms. I'm glad to see the OP had a turnaround on that post, but wowsers. Probably good I missed it. And hey, cholmes1223, if nothing else your thread may help educate others and...

  21. Advice on creepy doctors?

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

    Ok, if you're not okay with physical intervention, then how about calling the police? Grabbing her hips and pulling her against him was sexual assault. That's a crime. The admins wouldn't be able...

  25. Advice on creepy doctors?

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

    I love how all of you assume that those us advocating fighting back know nothing. I'm a previous victim of sexual abuse who decided long ago that no one will EVER victimize me again. I DO know...
