    Red Kryptonite replied to guest878957's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    *buzz* Sorry, calling BS on this. I'm only a CNA and this has been drilled into my head dozens of times. I just started my first week of LPN school and it's already been brought up that we have to...

  5. CPS question.

    Red Kryptonite replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    And of course right after I posted that....my daughter got pushed in her soccer game today and went down face first. She's got a pretty good scrape on her forehead, may develop a shiner, and might...

  7. Denying Death As A Society

    Red Kryptonite replied to Kyrshamarks's topic in General Nursing

  8. Um.....what?

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

    I just started a LPN program. My problem with your assertion is that total healing wasn't the stated goal. Reducing it in size was, and that goal was

  11. CPS question.

    Red Kryptonite replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Dear Jesus. If someone called CPS every time one of my kids had a bruise..... I'd be in the lifer unit. My kids don't even have special needs and we've given them bruises trying to control tantrums,...

  13. How do you know if Hospice Nursing is for you?

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

    Interesting. The hospice agency where I work has a substantial number of nurses who've been there between 10 and 25 years, so that's not something I ever thought about. However, within the agency...

  14. What did I do wrong?

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

    Yep, you kinda have to. I've had to go toe to toe with my own boss on this issue. Bottom line, I am responsible for knowing my scope and protecting my certification, and no one else. The nurses...

  15. What did I do wrong?

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

    As I stated earlier, I suspect Dad is declining through disease process and Son is in denial and looking for people and things to blame. We see that a lot in hospice. That's not to say Dad doesn't...

    Just in the last couple weeks there was a man who committed murder-suicide on his wife in an ICU and a veteran shot a doctor at a VA medical center. These were both national news

  20. What did I do wrong?

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

  23. What did I do wrong?

    Haloperidol, trade name Haldol, is a completely different drug than lorazepam, trade name Ativan. I'm starting to see why there is a

  24. What did I do wrong?

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

    Well if it was that big a deal, then the son should have made sure it was out of the house. Some people do react badly to Ativan. This seems like a perfect storm of poor choices and dodging...

  25. What did I do wrong?

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

    But you said I'm wondering what actually happened here. If you handed the box to the wife and she gave it, are they claiming you handed the wife the wrong med? Is it possible you did? I work...
