  1. Deep Suction for comfort with trach at end of life?

    Red Kryptonite replied to BryceBehrens's topic in General Nursing

    Wait....what?!

  2. How would you handle this situation?

    Red Kryptonite replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if people realize just how insulting they're being to the nurses who work in those facilities when they say things like this. It's pretty crappy how freely this prejudice gets thrown around....

  3. Jacob Rockstar-RN Psych Nurse Action Figure

    Red Kryptonite replied to Davey Do's topic in Psychiatric

    Dear Jacob Rockstar-RN Psych Nurse Action Figure, I find myself in the grip of a rage episode, precipitated by yet another overly aggressive forum moderator action which removed one of my excellent...

  4. Is this a HIPAA violation?

    Red Kryptonite replied to virgo7598's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Hmmmm.....sounds like someone met Richard Gere's

  5. "He wants his Ativan? Well I'm not giving it to him"

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

    Doesn't seem that was the case. My nurses will always let me know if it's too soon for another dose so I can communicate that to the patient. That way they know we aren't blowing them off. If the...

  6. Want to be a nurse, just no butt wiping or other yucky stuff please

    Red Kryptonite replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    It's still there on Android, but it doesn't seem to be on iPhone. I have both, unfortunately, as work gave me a leash....I mean iPhone.....and I'm a Droid girl in my personal

  7. Orthopedic nurse moving to AZ

    Red Kryptonite replied to meeks123's topic in Arizona Nursing

    When I worked at Banner Baywood in Mesa three years ago it had an ortho floor. No reason to think that's changed. Tip: try to get out here by end of summer and start applying to jobs. Fall is...

  8. How to NOT Aid a Cheater?

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

    Oh please. The push for BSN has been hard core for at least two decades. It's not like she didn't know. She didn't have to wait until 60. I've noticed a growing problem with people thinking that...

  9. Mispronunciations That Drive You Nuts

    Red Kryptonite replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    *hurl*

  10. New Grad interview: Tell me about yourself - What do I say?

    Red Kryptonite replied to Coumarin's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Jade gave good suggestions, but I see this question as, "Who are you besides your job?" Do you play an instrument? What are your hobbies? Where would you travel given the chance? My own answers:...

  11. When group bullying expands from classmates to teachers and administration

    Red Kryptonite replied to who knows's topic in General Students

    Whew...that's quite the histrionic

  12. When group bullying expands from classmates to teachers and administration

    Red Kryptonite replied to who knows's topic in General Students

    Here ya go

  13. Want to be a nurse, just no butt wiping or other yucky stuff please

    Red Kryptonite replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I'll bring the sweet

  14. DNR in public school

    Red Kryptonite replied to Hunter'sMom's topic in School

    :eek: Oh. My. God. What an absolutely horrifying mess. Because I'm sure performing CPR and then having EMS refuse to transport, and then the parents having to have mortuary come to pick up the...

  15. The Hunger Games and Nursing

    Red Kryptonite replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    No

  16. How to NOT Aid a Cheater?

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

    I have a feeling this is what calivianya is responding to. I never said this would impact her nursing skills. I said she's going to get positions and influence she hasn't earned, and could impact a...

  17. Being an individual

    Red Kryptonite replied to Circulate's topic in Men in Nursing

    2 hours?! Boy this instant gratification culture is really getting out of

  18. How to NOT Aid a Cheater?

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

    I hope these idiots are at least well-paid sellouts. If they're not getting paid I can't imagine what is their motivation for all that work that doesn't even benefit

  19. Dreadlocks

    Red Kryptonite replied to PauperRN's topic in Men in Nursing

    That's because it almost always is. I think the post above yours is

  20. The Hunger Games and Nursing

    Red Kryptonite replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    We have a newer nurse who dresses like this too. She has the body, but still, why does she feel the need to squeeze herself into clothes that fit like sausage casing in order to care for the...

  21. My 8 year old absolutely refuses to do the incentive spirometer

    Red Kryptonite replied to mother19's topic in Pediatric

    Do you generally have discipline problems with her? I don't get the "making it fun" thing. There are things you have to do in life that suck, and one of the ways people gain maturity and character...

  22. How did the 12 hour shift begin?

    Red Kryptonite replied to anon456's topic in General Nursing

    Many Thanksgivings and Christmases I've enjoyed the day with family, served the holiday dinner about 2:00 pm, and then had a few hours to relax before going to work at 7:00 pm. Of course that only...

  23. My 8 year old absolutely refuses to do the incentive spirometer

    Red Kryptonite replied to mother19's topic in Pediatric

    Stop giving in. Seriously. Giving up after an hour is still giving up, and you've taught her that if she holds out long enough, you cave. This isn't a baby, it's an 8 year old. She should know by...

  24. How did the 12 hour shift begin?

    Red Kryptonite replied to anon456's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly how I feel about it. With three 12s I feel like I have a pretty good work/life balance. I don't know how I could go to school full time and work full time without

  25. DNR in public school

    Red Kryptonite replied to Hunter'sMom's topic in School

    What an awful policy. Why would anyone force parents, who've already had to make the horrible decision to make their kid a DNR, to choose either to deny their kid the chance to go to school, or...
