  1. Non-FIT Nurses and FIT Nurses

    Red Kryptonite replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    Living causes dying. And some people really just are no fun. At

  2. Breast milk pumping at school student

    Red Kryptonite replied to shsnurse's topic in School

    Guess I'm just too "raised in the 80s" because I would NEVER breastfeed a baby if I were HIV positive, and I'm the biggest breastfeeding proponent there is. I nursed my oldest for 16 months and my...

  3. Online Microbiology

    Red Kryptonite replied to Harryhaller's topic in California Nursing

    Horse puckey. In Maricopa County, AZ there is a completely online community college (Rio Salado) that offers science classes with virtual labs. They're accepted by all the other Maricopa County CCs...

  4. I was reported for something I didnt actually do. Help.

    Red Kryptonite replied to LisaF0115's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I'm required to have my phone during clinicals. I'm supposed to text my CI when I'm going to do a skill or give meds. I thought that was fairly common

  5. Inhalers?

    Red Kryptonite replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    Any nurse who said this to my asthmatic kid would find him/herself in the headmaster's office attending a meeting where I am demanding their

  6. Breast milk pumping at school student

    Red Kryptonite replied to shsnurse's topic in School

    That's just ridiculous. Aside from the fact that it is indeed a fluid that comes from the body, it transmits HIV. What idiot wrote those

  7. Non-FIT Nurses and FIT Nurses

    Red Kryptonite replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    Sigh.

  8. How Often Do You Check...?

  9. FLAME ON!

    Red Kryptonite replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    If you really want to laugh, search for the ridiculous reasons to visit the ER thread. Just try not to be drinking anything. There was also a thread quite a while ago about red jello that got really...

  10. Is hospice on the down swing?

    Red Kryptonite replied to Nash3222's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Sorry. Just because we're involved in the field doesn't necessarily mean our families become more easily able to accept mortality. I too find it sad how many people come in last minute, when we...

  11. Is hospice on the down swing?

    Red Kryptonite replied to Nash3222's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    This isn't true for all. The one I work for has its own inpatient units, used for short term stays for symptom management. However, once the patient is no longer "GIP-able" the families have the...

  12. Staying healthy and fit in nursing school

    Red Kryptonite replied to WonderousIvy's topic in LPN to RN

    So how are you guys doing? I visited my dad over spring break and drank too many hard ciders and ate too many chips! I'm now 10 pounds above where I want to be BUT I have also started tracking my...

  13. URGENT-staff & meds

    Red Kryptonite replied to lvnforschool's topic in School

    This isn't unique to schools or nursing. My husband has built a career for himself in nonprofit financial management/accounting. When we first moved to the Phoenix area, he started part time with an...

  14. Should I give up and find another job?

    Red Kryptonite replied to Crissy327's topic in General Nursing

    I agree you need to tell them to concretely define their concerns and what you need to achieve to put them to rest. This nebulous, indefinable crap they're tossing at you is unfair and impossible to...

  15. FLAME ON!

    Red Kryptonite replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    LOL I can't imagine what thread you're

  16. In need of assistances

    Red Kryptonite replied to happyt38's topic in Nursing Career

    What about your employer? Do they offer tuition

  17. Should I give up and find another job?

    Red Kryptonite replied to Crissy327's topic in General Nursing

    Just make sure you let them be the ones to terminate the employment relationship, because if you resign then you'll be willingly unemployed and won't be able to collect your unemployment insurance...

  18. Nurses can eat properly if they manage their time

    Red Kryptonite replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmmm.....my ten year old son eats everything like it's running away from him. Maybe I should suggest nursing for his future

  19. Nurses can eat properly if they manage their time

    Red Kryptonite replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Ignore cheezy. He's nothing but a bomb thrower, and the worst fate for that type is to get no

  20. To tell or not to tell!

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

    Because, of course, you know them and their practice personally and are in a position to

  21. Palliative care in nursing

    Red Kryptonite replied to Simonesays's topic in General Nursing

    I've had patients who are Cheyne-Stoking and mottled up to their hips, yet their family members are still thoroughly shocked when they die. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt, and it's an insanely...

  22. To tell or not to tell!

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

    You know where the exit door is,

  23. Spouse-dependent sleep

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

    My husband and I really actually enjoy sleeping together and always have. We usually fall asleep curled up together in some fashion. He has told me he sleeps better when I am with him than when I'm...

  24. My Unit Is Bleeding Staff & Morale...Vent!

    Red Kryptonite replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Emergency

    Some places just refuse to acknowledge that poor leadership is the problem. Where I work, one single unit had two day nurses and two night nurses all quit THE SAME WEEK. The manager asked the last...
