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

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

    Uh, yeah.....had I been that laboring mother I would have complained too. How long did you

  2. Calling a transgender patient an "it"

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

    I don't ask any patient to be okay with it because the workplace and their venue of care is not an appropriate place for any such discussion. They'll never know what I think unless they ask, and why...

  3. Calling a transgender patient an "it"

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

    So the complete definition of a person goes no further than how they express their sexuality? Who they are is based on with whom they have sex? Nothing more? Because that's what you're

  4. Nurses and Financial Freedom

    Red Kryptonite replied to Soliloquy's topic in General Nursing

    With tax, a plain old venti caffe mocha gets pretty

  5. Calling a transgender patient an "it"

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

    And supposedly I'm the intolerant one? Ha

  6. Letting very young children see a dying patient

    Red Kryptonite replied to Cuddleswithpuddles's topic in Critical Care

    I think seeing a loved one hooked up to tubes and machines and all that is much of the traumatic part. Families and health care professionals need to be encouraged to admit the truth sooner and...

  7. CNA=Poop cleaner?!

    Red Kryptonite replied to BSNMomOf6's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    She must be THAT

  8. Professionalism....name your irritation here!

    Red Kryptonite replied to LobotRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Oh, yeah, this one fries me too. I work for a big nonprofit that grew really quickly out of a small nonprofit. Many things are still run like it's the little company where everyone knows everyone...

  9. Calling a transgender patient an "it"

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

    The early discussion didn't, but at some point the whole LGBTQ kitchen sink got thrown in here. Maybe if the two shouldn't be conflated, then the communities involved should stop putting them...

  10. Calling a transgender patient an "it"

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

    And holding a personal belief that homosexuality and transgender are disordered in no way means that a person cannot remain professional and provide compassionate care. After all, as nurses we deal...

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

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

    In complete disregard of the fact that labor is an athletic event and women need nourishment, and that if hospitals would get the hell out of the way with all their stupid policies and...

  12. Nurses forced to work as aides

    Red Kryptonite replied to NewYorkerGirl's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Maybe I'd be capable of a better response if you had put any effort at all toward actually addressing the challenge made to

  13. family members working in the same hospital and exact same unit

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

    If offered, take the job. But only if you KNOW you can be mature and ignore whatever your brother dishes up. No matter how big a hissy fit he throws, you have to utterly ignore it. Remain...

  14. Nurses forced to work as aides

    Red Kryptonite replied to NewYorkerGirl's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    LAME.

  15. family members working in the same hospital and exact same unit

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

    So how was the

  16. Nurses forced to work as aides

    Red Kryptonite replied to NewYorkerGirl's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    The attitude of the rest of your post makes this easy to believe. I challenge you to find anything I posted that indicates unwillingness to do my job. I just expect people to put the needs of...

  17. impaired elimination

    Red Kryptonite replied to xstarzi3x's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Actually, yes, it

  18. family members working in the same hospital and exact same unit

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

    NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. None of this ridiculous drama belongs in the workplace. If you bring it up, then you're the one who brought it up. Let him be the unprofessional, whiny saboteur. If...

  19. impaired elimination

    Red Kryptonite replied to xstarzi3x's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    "Effect" is also a verb. One can, after all, effect

  20. California BORN Prevails In Excelsior College Lawsuit

    Red Kryptonite replied to Sheri257's topic in Online Distance Learning

    That poster is on some kind of Excelsior vendetta. They're all over the board with

  21. Childhood Obesity: Breaking the Cycle

    Red Kryptonite replied to cynboys's topic in Patient Education

    Many successful reform efforts have been dismissed with exactly the same kind of

  22. Childhood Obesity: Breaking the Cycle

    Red Kryptonite replied to cynboys's topic in Patient Education

    It's not irrelevant to those of us fighting against further government overreach into freedom of speech. "That should never have happened" is the starting point of many reform

  23. Certain States do not Accept Excelsior?

    Red Kryptonite replied to skittlebear's topic in Excelsior College

    There are tons of successful Excelsior grads working in nursing. The sob story of one nurse who didn't check her state's requirements before enrolling hardly discredits that

  24. Indiana state University LPN/BSN or Excelsior College

    Red Kryptonite replied to lizzyreg's topic in Online Distance Learning

    There are tons of successful Excelsior grads working in nursing. The sob story of one nurse who didn't check her state's requirements before enrolling hardly discredits that

  25. family members working in the same hospital and exact same unit

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

    My own brother is so toxic I had to unfriend him and block him on Facebook. We rarely see each other and only talk when we have to deal with something involving our mother. If he's threatening to...
