    Red Kryptonite replied to NewYorkerGirl's topic in General Nursing

  4. Do the elderly even have bowel sounds?

    Red Kryptonite replied to NewYorkerGirl's topic in General Nursing

  5. Should I give up and find another job?

    Red Kryptonite replied to Crissy327's topic in General Nursing

    Red Kryptonite replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    Guess what? My theory average is currently over 90% and I know my CI is happy with my performance....and school is NOT my top priority. You're spinning a false yarn that the only way to be...

  20. Nurse Clueless

    Red Kryptonite replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't witnessed anything quite that egregious, but I have met nurses whose apparent intelligence levels led me to question how the hell they ever passed nursing school. I've been known to think or...

    Red Kryptonite replied to Lynda Lampert, RN's topic in General Nursing

  25. Was my professor out of line?

    Red Kryptonite replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    Since mine are now almost 17, 14, 12, 10, and 7 I would have to agree with your second statement. I'm not a "mommy martyr" because my family unequivocally comes before school, or anything else. It's...
