  1. What did I do wrong?

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

    LMAO. I can just see this becoming a blog entitled, "When Non-Compliance Saves

  2. What did I do wrong?

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

    We as CNAs need to be aware of our scope and protect our own butts, because no one is going to do it for us. I've had to make waves at my employer over similar issues, but THEY are in the wrong for...

  3. EVANGELISM IN WARD

    Red Kryptonite replied to Oyinz24's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Oh, I think for some people, it was. That was the only

  4. How many CNAs do you have on your floor?

    Red Kryptonite replied to crx971's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yeah, this gets my goat too. It's not just lazy, it's cruel to a patient who needs to go and may not be able to hold it. It's humiliating for them when they can't. You can spend one dang minute to...

  5. EVANGELISM IN WARD

    Red Kryptonite replied to Oyinz24's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Wow, really? I guess those Christians beheaded by ISIS, including the children, got what they deserved since they wouldn't just shut the hell up. To answer the OP, I'm as religious as they come, but...

  6. Have to take time off MA class?

  7. Denying Death As A Society

    Red Kryptonite replied to Kyrshamarks's topic in General Nursing

    I think you have a little more obligation than you describe. You know more than the patients and families most of the time. You need to use that to give them a realistic idea of the outcome of each...

  8. Loans and job

    Red Kryptonite replied to mgandy87's topic in General Nursing

    Um no....I'm married to someone who was commissioned through ROTC, and a review of PMH would be long, long in the past by the time of scholarship award. Health screening is a very early stage in that...

  9. Spring 2015 Roll call!!!

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

    Had orientation January 7th at Gateway CC in Phoenix, first day is coming up on the

  10. CNAs - do you feel like an endangered species?

    Red Kryptonite posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My employer has cut back drastically on CNA usage in our inpatient units. I've seen many posts here over the last few months about CNAs being eliminated or cut in hospital units, and then of course...

  11. Becoming a Working Nurse Mom

    Red Kryptonite replied to NatalieBridges's topic in General Nursing

    I think as far as careers go, nursing is near the top of the list for ease of combining with parenthood. Some days I wish I had come to this career path sooner, but, life is curvy and it works right...

  12. Can not even express how greatful I would be for some input. My livelyhood depends on it.

    Red Kryptonite replied to RN94's topic in Nurse Management

    When asked why you left your previous job, say you found yourself in need of a change. After 20 years in the same place, it's certainly believable, and I'm sure that that sudden pattern of errors...

  14. BSN by 2020

    Red Kryptonite replied to RN-4Ever's topic in Maryland Nursing

    You need to understand, people have been beating the "BSN only" and "LPNs are going away" drums for 40 years. Some people react badly because they're just so tired of it as it's clearly not true. Not...

  15. Nursing and homeschooling 3 kids

    Red Kryptonite replied to chalsa's topic in General Students

    Well crap. I typed out this whole response and it seems to have disappeared into the ether. Condensed version: I'm a former home schooler who realized that once I had to do more outside the home,...

  16. Jehovah's Witness nurses in the critical care unit?

    Red Kryptonite replied to asdf88's topic in Critical Care

    I'd like to point out that this is a parenting problem, not a homeschooling problem. There are homeschoolers successfully pursuing degrees in colleges and universities all over this country and there...

  17. skeptical of another nurse

    Red Kryptonite replied to The Bell Jar's topic in General Nursing

    This was my first thought as

  18. Becoming a Working Nurse Mom

    Red Kryptonite replied to NatalieBridges's topic in General Nursing

    Oh crap, I am SO behind then. I had my first baby just shy of my 23rd birthday, a year after earning a bachelor's degree that I have never used for paid employment. (It's a social science, so not...

  19. Independent Living

    Red Kryptonite replied to Angela89's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Consider it a foot in the door. Many places will let you internally transfer after six months, so see if that is the case at your new employer. Put in whatever time you have to and then start...

  20. Running low on soap

    Red Kryptonite replied to simonsmom's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    No one is safe in that

  21. Two weeks in, and I need a vacation!

    Red Kryptonite replied to SoaringOwl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    When I had training to do from the hospital I worked at, they had me log in to their system from home, and it recorded my time, and I got paid for it. I don't understand why employers would risk...

  22. Needing some advice or encouragement

    Red Kryptonite replied to willow14's topic in Nurses Recovery

    As Dr. Phil has said many a time when someone asks how long they have to keep trying to reassure a betrayed spouse, "Until." There's no time frame. I agree he should probably talk to someone or do...

  23. Moving to Cali

    Red Kryptonite replied to Grace4life's topic in California Nursing

    I read the same Bible you do, and if you look carefully, you'll see that you are not to test God. One of the ways humans test God is by doing things that are foolish and ill-advised while claiming...

  24. Moving to Cali

    Red Kryptonite replied to Grace4life's topic in California Nursing

    My step sister wouldn't listen to anyone either. She moved to SoCal with her kids and no job lined up. Never got one, burned through every cent she had, and had to be rescued by my 60 year old...
