  1. New to allnurses!

    Red Kryptonite replied to noelly10's topic in General Nursing

    Also avoid advice from this poster. Unless you *want* to be that nurse playing Candy Crush while ignoring call lights, with whom everyone hates

  2. Torn between LPN and RN

    Red Kryptonite replied to j.mccray010's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    That's what I heard too, from someone who personally knows a LPN employed in corrections. She's working at a state prison. I could learn to put up with a lot for $26 an hour, which is what I was...

  3. Compression Stockings?

    Red Kryptonite replied to RnH15's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I always wore the knee high ones when I worked in the hospital. When I have a job where I regularly run all 12 hours every night, I'll wear them again. They made a huge difference for

  4. Torn between LPN and RN

    Red Kryptonite replied to j.mccray010's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I applied before they started requiring that. I think you have to go to one now. LPNs are heavily utilized in Arizona. Not in hospitals but in almost every other health care setting. Do an Indeed...

  5. Torn between LPN and RN

    Red Kryptonite replied to j.mccray010's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Wrong. LPNs educated at Gateway can apply for advanced placement into the 3rd block of the RN program at any Maricopa County Community College once all prereqs are met. Don't go around telling...

  6. Is this right?

    Red Kryptonite replied to kariace's topic in General Students

    It's called general education for a bachelor's degree

  7. Nurses, how do you view your job?

    Red Kryptonite replied to 8*P23J's topic in General Nursing

    Apparently, with some people,

  8. Why Do We Say "Nursing School"?

    Red Kryptonite replied to singwithme123's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, it is not. Nursing school is where you go to become a nurse. Why should nursing have some obsessively unique terminology that even Army Rangers don't feel necessary? I'll be sure to tell my...

  9. I'm a sexless nurse

    Red Kryptonite replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Right? I fully expected it to die while I was camping last

  10. Nurses, how do you view your job?

    Red Kryptonite replied to 8*P23J's topic in General Nursing

    I think if you hadn't lied about being a new nurse when asked, things would have gone better for you on the other thread. Pretty stupid lie, too, considering that you had posted on this very message...

  11. How do you leave it at work?

    Red Kryptonite replied to Newbie_RN17's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Not being a "calling nurse" helps a lot, I think. Coming into nursing was an economic decision for me, first as a CNA and soon I'll be a LPN. I am good at my job, but it is just a job. It's a way...

  12. Torn between LPN and RN

    Red Kryptonite replied to j.mccray010's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    They call it "fast track LPN" and they're not kidding. Sometimes the volume of information was overwhelming. It starts with a few weeks of lab days where you review CNA skills and start learning...

  13. How do you leave it at work?

    Red Kryptonite replied to Newbie_RN17's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh

  14. Torn between LPN and RN

    Red Kryptonite replied to j.mccray010's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    If you're not already certified and don't want/plan to work as a CNA, you can just take Gateway's CNA course which is a semester long. That fulfills the requirement and you don't have to take the...

  15. Torn between LPN and RN

    Red Kryptonite replied to j.mccray010's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I just finished the first semester of Gateway's program. Please don't pay more than you have to, and know that Gateway's program is universally respected. I only waited a semester after applying, as...

  16. Torn between LPN and RN

    Red Kryptonite replied to j.mccray010's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Double

  17. I need to know if I have the right to refuse care

    Red Kryptonite replied to Penguins11's topic in General Nursing

    And managers wonder why floor nurses and aides tend to have bad opinions of them. How dare they let this continue? How dare they expect their staff to get beat up just to do their jobs, while they...

  18. OMG - how much more bad can things get?

    Red Kryptonite replied to amoLucia's topic in General Nursing

    And right this second, the Afghan parliament is under attack in Kabul. At least nine explosions. The world

  19. Loco-Parentis

    Red Kryptonite replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Oh stop it. Why is it that drunk boys who misread signals or are victims of morning after regret can be prosecuted, but girls somehow have no responsibility for things they do while drunk? I'm so...

  20. Loco-Parentis

    Red Kryptonite replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe they learned that women always want sex and that no discussion of consent is necessary from watching Media as their sex

  21. I'm a sexless nurse

    Red Kryptonite replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    LOL!

  22. Sex-ed

    Red Kryptonite replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Right here, PS you need to stop accusing me of straw man arguments. It's clear you don't know what that means. I am not creating false enemies and then attacking

  23. Stem Cell Transplant pressure

    Red Kryptonite replied to mmpatient's topic in Oncology

    What are your objections to a stem cell

  24. Loco-Parentis

    Red Kryptonite replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I thought that was weird too. Maybe what we're seeing from OP is a nurse that has lost his professional boundaries and gotten emotionally

  25. Inmate/Staff Relationships

    Red Kryptonite replied to Tina, RN's topic in Correctional

    Jeez. Apparently some people REALLY have no
