  6. Hate it already

    Red Kryptonite replied to NurseSunshine3's topic in Nursing Career

    Being a professional student is not a strategy for becoming successful at life. Pushing your way through times that suck and are hard, is. You say your preceptor treats you well and teaches you a...

  10. Dealing with a best friend who is less than supportive

    Red Kryptonite replied to dc1994's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This person is a long term friend, so presumably you can call him out on crappy behavior. Why not just tell him, "Hey I understand you're upset about how your hospitalization went, but do you realize...

  11. I feel uncomfortable doing this

    Red Kryptonite replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  13. Is the concept of respect dead?

    Red Kryptonite replied to Windchaser22's topic in School

    Because they pay a high price when they don't. Human nature doesn't change. When parents make the price of disrespect high enough to be unpleasant, you'll see a change in how kids

  14. Embracing Night Shift

    Red Kryptonite replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    I always say all the cool kids work nights. Recently I had a week where I didn't get all my hours. Usually I work three 12s 7-7:30, but they had a unit that needed a little extra help so they offered...

    Red Kryptonite replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Really? Just fake it/lie because it makes things easier? Are those really the values you want to promote and live

  16. Is the concept of respect dead?

    Red Kryptonite replied to Windchaser22's topic in School

    Nope, sorry, that doesn't fly. I wouldn't have gotten away with 10% of what I see some of these little SHs doing. Thank God. As flawed as my upbringing was in many ways, I'm grateful my dad was a...

  17. Nurses as Costs for Hospitals

    Red Kryptonite replied to advor's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If you think you're chained to a computer by "paperwork" now, wait until you're trying to itemize each service you provide and bill for

  18. The Story of Jahi Continues

    Red Kryptonite replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    When you cry poverty on gofundme, telling the world you need money to care for your precious baby girl, and then post photos of your lobster dinners and Michael Kors bags.....the backlash won't be...

  19. Associates after Bachelors

    Red Kryptonite replied to Infofreak411's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm in a certificate program to become a LPN 17 years after earning a bachelor's in political science. A long time ago I was going to go to law school. Life takes turns, and no education is ever a...

  24. Alzheimer's & disruptive behaviors... Insights?

    Red Kryptonite replied to Turquoises's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    More brilliant staffing choices from higher ups. Reducing staff in a dementia unit during prime sundowning hours....SMH. I believe sundowning is real. It's also extremely variable. I've seen some...

  25. Is the concept of respect dead?

    Red Kryptonite replied to Windchaser22's topic in School

    Not when it's done right. Most of what you're seeing is bad parenting. The breakdown of the family has consequences, but as I've been repeatedly told, that's none of my business. (Picture Kermit...
