  1. Trach suctioning without gloves??

    KyRN😉 replied to HopefulRN7's topic in Home Health

    The respiratory system is technically not a sterile environment sooooo... I mean, yea you should wear gloves but I don't think it's completely inappropriate. I wear gloves, my colleagues wear gloves....

  2. Screaming match with my preceptor

    KyRN😉 replied to jherd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You can't, "blow up," and cuss at someone. Idk what else to say other than, nope, can't do

  3. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    KyRN😉 replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    Autism? AUTISM? Hahahahaha Mkay. Jennie McCarthy did some research and jumped on off her high horse; why don't you do the same? FYI what is happening on this thread. I've been sitting back munching...

  4. ethical dilema

    KyRN😉 replied to badcompany's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Badcompany: word of advice- don't offer to teach a veteran nurse how to spot the urethra when they schedule an order to I&o cath for a UA on a different shift; they know where it is but they don't...

  5. ethical dilema

    KyRN😉 replied to badcompany's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    No problem! I liked your post; its something that no one ever talks about. I kept feeling like I was making these social blunders; so hearing that other people have the same problem (and if you have...

  6. ethical dilema

    KyRN😉 replied to badcompany's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm not who your asking but I say, "yes you are doing the right thing." Plus... I mean, it's ethically the right thing to help your coworkers provide the best possible care BUT it also makes time go...

  7. More Autistic Students

    KyRN😉 replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    To school nurses: please please PLEASE read up on autism. Look up Aspergers and maybe even print off some checklists for both boys and girls. You never know, a simple and awkward, "you know, I've...

  8. More Autistic Students

    KyRN😉 replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    I know recently the Dx of Aspergers is now referred to as just an ASD which I think will make it even harder to spot. The kids (and adults for that matter) with Aspergers 100% have a disability and...

  9. More Autistic Students

    KyRN😉 replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Forgot to mention that sometimes when one child has a disability, especially an ASD, their siblings have a significant possibility of sharing that commonality. But instead of that being considered as...

  10. More Autistic Students

    KyRN😉 replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    To get a social security check there has to be supporting evidence from professionals. You can't, "coach," a child to score as autistic on an ADOS; that test requires an advanced degree to...

  11. what can you do when a nurse sets you up

    KyRN😉 replied to oatmeal's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Good! If she comes back, I'd,personally, keep it real and tell her about the withdrawn write-up. I'd probably be really smug about it

  12. Am I Crazy? (Potential nursing student with neuro issue)

    KyRN😉 replied to RSB222's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Go back to nursing school! If you can get through it with crippling anxiety (right there with you on that! Took me 6 years to get a BSN because I have social anxiety) but I did it. Then after I passed...

  13. I Don't Get the Anxiety Part of Nursing

    KyRN😉 replied to missmollie's topic in General Nursing

    I wish the OP would acknowledge all the feedback she's getting. Her post was met with a lot of negative backlash, and she doesn't address it, or concede that possibly she is in the wrong (she...

  14. what can you do when a nurse sets you up

    KyRN😉 replied to oatmeal's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree, if you've brought this to a supervisor's attention and it hasn't been addressed... Well objectively look at that supervisor. Are they friends outside of work? Maybe check FB for this info, if...

  15. what can you do when a nurse sets you up

    KyRN😉 replied to oatmeal's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Have you tried just flat out asking this nurse why she's doing this? Maybe if you try being direct and embarrass her by calling attention to the fact that she signed documentation stating that there...

  16. I Don't Get the Anxiety Part of Nursing

    KyRN😉 replied to missmollie's topic in General Nursing

    Can I just say, "thank you!" To all the nurses who've acknowledged that they don't pretend to know everything and can, *gasp!* feel empathy for their fellow... Lifesavers feels pretty dramatic but...

  17. I Don't Get the Anxiety Part of Nursing

    KyRN😉 replied to missmollie's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm.... Because your super condescending? That's probably why;) oh wait, so are you meaning to say that your out of orientation now and doing, "the job?" Just

  18. ethical dilema

    KyRN😉 replied to badcompany's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I totally relate to this dilemma! I've worked at my fair share of facilities, and let me tell you- feeling like you have, "nothing to do," is... Baffling. I've been at my current facility for 8 months...

  19. I Don't Get the Anxiety Part of Nursing

    KyRN😉 replied to missmollie's topic in General Nursing

    I loved

  20. I Don't Get the Anxiety Part of Nursing

    KyRN😉 replied to missmollie's topic in General Nursing

    Am I the only one who laughed reading THIS post and the original? Your being completely condescending and... Really ignorant. I'm not trying to be rude, but I can't think of how else to put it. You...

  21. What to do when you fear going to work?

    KyRN😉 replied to ChronicSG's topic in General Nursing

    I suffered with confidence too as a new nurse! Just know, you will screw up many times, you'll say the wrong thing, a certain doctor will think your an idiot, other nurses will think your...

  22. Failed my nclex rn :(

    KyRN😉 replied to natalciapl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I literally didn't even read the review part of the questions, I ONLY read the right answer. So I associated the right answer with the question. Within a few words of a question I could tell you the...

  23. Failed my nclex rn :(

    KyRN😉 replied to natalciapl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hey, I'm so sorry!! That must have really been terrible:( I studied by answering practice questions. I probably answered thousands; by the time I took the actual NCLEX I had 75 questions, finished in...

  24. All Men Shift

    KyRN😉 replied to kalevra's topic in Men in Nursing

    I mean... I get what your saying. But what if a certain patient refuses care from men? Then you have to call management and blah, blah, blah. So it's not really feasible. Personally I appreciate the...
