  2. School nurses and other RNs not supportive of decision to send their child home

    Red Kryptonite replied to rollernurse365's topic in School

    Oops, sorry. Honestly didn't even look at the pic. Just call it a brain

  3. School nurses and other RNs not supportive of decision to send their child home

    Red Kryptonite replied to rollernurse365's topic in School

    Dang, who peed in your Cheerios this morning? The poster was very clear that he is a CNA and never claimed to be anything

  4. Hospice patient requests to smoke

    Red Kryptonite replied to eatenalive365's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Reading this (and another recent thread about hospice patients in LTC facilities) makes me glad my hospice employer runs its own inpatient units. We can get our patients in our environment, if they...

  5. lithotomy before induction?

    Red Kryptonite replied to ddidavis's topic in Operating Room

    You sure you entered a hospital and not a time

  6. African American Hair Problems in Nursing

    Red Kryptonite replied to desertstar6's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Frankly.....NOTHING. And I think as you see the generations beneath the baby boomers take control, it will become less and less of an issue. Where I work, we already have pretty liberal policies...

  7. Dying of starvation

    Red Kryptonite replied to Missingyou's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I work hospice and have met many patients to whom aspiration pneumonia and its risks were fully explained, and they chose to eat and drink anyway as long as they were able. They decided the comfort...

  8. School nurses and other RNs not supportive of decision to send their child home

    Red Kryptonite replied to rollernurse365's topic in School

    They're not talking as nurses. They're pissed you screwed up their child

  9. Baby due after one month after srna program begins

    Red Kryptonite replied to samantha80's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The first three years are the most formative of a child's life, and I know all five of mine were very interactive and definitely knew who I was, to the exclusion of others, well before three years....

  10. Healthcare deductables

    Red Kryptonite replied to CriticalCareRN1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Welcome to the brave new world so many of you voted for.

  11. Excelsior's online rn programs

    Red Kryptonite replied to purplenurse19's topic in Excelsior College

    New York isn't the only site, but even if it were, why would you refuse to do what is necessary to obtain the license for which you've worked, and earn that paycheck the rest of your working

  12. If you witnessed inmates abused by guards.

    Red Kryptonite replied to reptilesavvy's topic in Correctional

    You must report abuse. However you also need to realize that every time guards "beat up" an inmate is not abuse. Inmates start fights, threaten guards and other inmates, and fight with guards when...

  13. Finally got into a LPN School

    Red Kryptonite replied to ashsoontobeRN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Passed my required med calc quiz today. Finally had a few moments where I didn't feel like a total idiot in class. The most shocking thing about today is that we're only two weeks in and already...

  14. Will LPN's be around for long?

    Red Kryptonite replied to OMMx3's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  15. Dying of starvation

    Red Kryptonite replied to Missingyou's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Oh. My. God. On hospice so she gets no nutrition at all? It's bad enough that the general public thinks this, but nurses? Maybe tube feeding or TPN isn't appropriate, but NPO is cruel at this...

  16. Will LPN's be around for long?

    Red Kryptonite replied to OMMx3's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Some people define their value by much more than their jobs. A job is what I do, not who I am. You also seem to assume I'm stopping here. Ever heard of a stepping stone? Still waiting for that...

  17. Will LPN's be around for long?

    Red Kryptonite replied to OMMx3's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    LOL got a source for this undeniable fact? Beyond your anecdotal experience I

  18. Will LPN's be around for long?

    Red Kryptonite replied to OMMx3's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm doing just that, thank you. Not everyone becoming a LPN is stupid or needs your pontificating. I'd even hazard a guess that most of us

  19. Veganism and the pursue of nursing

    Red Kryptonite replied to sparkles24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Joke time! An atheist, a vegan, and a cross-fitter walked into a bar. How did I know? They told everyone in the first five

  20. Veganism and the pursue of nursing

    Red Kryptonite replied to sparkles24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I find many vegans can't help

  21. Will LPN's be around for long?

    Red Kryptonite replied to OMMx3's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I do both. I like that inpatient is a more controlled environment, but also enjoy being one on one with patients in homes. There have been a few froot loops in there, but mostly not too

  22. Will LPN's be around for long?

    Red Kryptonite replied to OMMx3's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I work in hospice and plan to continue with my employer as a LPN, for which I'm in school right

  25. Will LPN's be around for long?

    Red Kryptonite replied to OMMx3's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Funny how I work for a nonprofit. And I know of at least a few other nonprofit orgs around me that employ
