  1. Sexy male scrubs

    Red Kryptonite replied to Betenhauser's topic in Men in Nursing

    As a person who lost a lot of weight and then spent some time really enjoying the fact that I looked GOOD for the first time in a long time, I get where this poster is coming from. Cut him a little...

  2. Please don't call me Dude

    Red Kryptonite replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    No they don't assume. My kids were instructed to call teachers and aides by Mr. or Ms. Firstname at school. So they're actively taught

  3. Working as a RN with a Different Religion at a LDS/Mormon Hospital

    Red Kryptonite replied to tabithug531's topic in General Nursing

    I'm Catholic but work in an area of Arizona with a heavy Mormon population. The biggest issue I've dealt with from that faith that impacts on medical care is temple garments. Some people derisively...

  4. Waiting on phone interview...?

    Red Kryptonite replied to ladylawless2317's topic in General Nursing

    Posting what was meant to be a private email on a public site, complete with names and geographical identifiers, without permission, is an EXTRAORDINARILY BAD IDEA. I suggest you delete that if you...

  5. Quit during orientation

    Red Kryptonite replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    I'm glad there is some compassion in play, but this idiot will deserve firing if he doesn't straighten up. I feel bad for his kids, because it seems your employer is more concerned with keeping...

  8. West Coast University in Dallas,Texas

    Red Kryptonite replied to ssession79's topic in Texas Nursing

    There will always be people willing to pay much much more than they should, which is why these schools stay in business. At least this one has an 89% NCLEX pass rate, according to Texas

  9. What would you suggest to your preceptor if..

    Red Kryptonite replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    You've hit the "special snowflake" wall. You're probably not doing anything wrong at all. I mean, shaking and crying because of constructive feedback during training? Whatever happened to

  10. medical assistant

    Red Kryptonite replied to 2bnursenadia30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Still makes you insecure and pathetic for needing to call yourself something you haven't earned. Do the work if you want the prestige of the

  11. This week, I have learned..... (6/13)

    Red Kryptonite replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    But what a lovely problem to have. :) I seriously LMAO at the potato-vomiting discussion at the beginning of this

  12. Severe dementia referral

    Red Kryptonite replied to Anewby's topic in Home Health

    It's not your hospice, it's Medicare. Anewby, she's had multiple falls and can no longer walk independently, which shows physical decline. Is she incontinent? Is she losing weight? Does she refuse...

  13. Quit during orientation

    Red Kryptonite replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    I wonder about some instructors, why they seem so stingy about what they let students do. I just finished my first semester of a LPN program and I did several dressing changes. One was even sterile!...

  14. Don't talk bad about your patients

    Red Kryptonite replied to BrendaH84's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yikes. Okay I take back my post about the margaritas. What you described there is just plain unprofessional and

  15. morbidly obese patients

    Red Kryptonite replied to blackribbon's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Jesus. As the wife of a veteran, who deployed overseas without me twice, that kind of b**** was unfortunately common. I always wanted to find them and beat their asses. How dare you do that to a...

  16. Dismissed from Program (Venting)

    Red Kryptonite replied to MusicEMT's topic in General Students

    And the OP has stated that working and not studying enough, or "being spread too thin," was the cause. Do you think OP is responsible in any way for their choices, and the consequences that come from...

  17. Quit during orientation

    Red Kryptonite replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    OP still hasn't given even one example of something unsafe. Repeating a claim doesn't support its veracity. Could we get examples,

  18. Nursing's Transition: Creating Inclusive Healthcare Settings for Transgendered Patients

    Red Kryptonite replied to Jessica Quigley's topic in General Nursing

    LOL ask around, babe. I'm one of the far RIGHT lunatics around

  19. Nursing's Transition: Creating Inclusive Healthcare Settings for Transgendered Patients

    Red Kryptonite replied to Jessica Quigley's topic in General Nursing

    That's not what was said at all. Feel any way you like, think whatever you like, believe whatever you like, but keep it away from the patient. Give respectful, compassionate care such as you'd want...

  20. Backpack for a interview

    Red Kryptonite replied to CticuRN95's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Or briefcase/messenger bag if you're a

  21. Dismissed from Program (Venting)

    Red Kryptonite replied to MusicEMT's topic in General Students

    Last time I checked, choosing to work while in school and not allotting enough time for study was not a mental or physical disorder. I don't want OP's loans "fully discharged" because that means I...

  22. Obesity: A disease or a lifestyle

    Red Kryptonite replied to TexMex22's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I've unfortunately witnessed a case of this, although the young man in our care was infected through unprotected anal sex, not needles. And he was young, too, 30s....and y'all know I work hospice....

  23. Quit during orientation

    Red Kryptonite replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    This. What was unsafe about

  24. Nursing's Transition: Creating Inclusive Healthcare Settings for Transgendered Patients

    Red Kryptonite replied to Jessica Quigley's topic in General Nursing

    Bottom line, we all have thoughts, opinions, beliefs, and questions inside our heads about this and many other topics, and that's where they should stay when providing patient care. Professional...

  25. Quit during orientation

    Red Kryptonite replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    To be fair, I worked with some nurses who, we aides joked, wouldn't answer a call light if the patient was on fire. BUT you have to give a job some time to really get the feel of a unit and also, as a...
