1. I Feel Stuck - Like My Options Are Limited

   DaniannaRN replied to Ashleynurse101's topic in General Nursing

   I noticed that too. Sometimes people don't really want a solution to their problems. They would rather shoot down every single suggestion because of -insert issue here- instead of trying to find workarounds. There are always ways to fix an issue, ...

2. I Feel Stuck - Like My Options Are Limited

   DaniannaRN replied to Ashleynurse101's topic in General Nursing

   Hi OP, first of all congrats on your pregnancy! IMO, it is one of the best things to be a mom! Your life will definitely change, for the better. I don't live in such a small town like you do, but I feel what you're saying. Are there any resid...

3. You're Right, It Is You: How do I get out of this career please?

   DaniannaRN replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

   OP, I haven't read the responses here so I'm not sure if anyone suggested this already, but have you ever considered working for an insurance company? I left bedside many years ago and have been in the managed care industry for about 12 years now. ...

4. This is really messed up, I know….

   DaniannaRN replied to Milkofamnesia02's topic in Stress 101

   As a patient in the hospital four times (for childbirth), I can assure you that you would not get any rest. I had a bp cuff on that took my bp every 10 minutes--all night and all day. I had q2h blood draws around the clock. My IV was beeping all t...

5. Where are my rights?

   DaniannaRN replied to RNAnonMisc's topic in COVID

   I don't have advice but I just want to say I'm sorry that happened to you. I have a side job as a contact tracer in my state (been doing it for 2 years already) and we do the exposure notifications. We would never expect an employer to notify its e...

6. Burnt Out - Hospitals are Stressful!

   DaniannaRN replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

   If you don't want to do hand on nursing anymore, apply at insurance companies. I work for one now, and have for the past 12 or so years. All positions are Mon-Fri, 9a-5p, no weekends, no holidays, FULLY REMOTE (or hybrid), optional OT (you're not p...

7. Part time?

   DaniannaRN replied to NewRookie's topic in General Nursing

   Do you have to do the entire year for any reason, or is it just because they told you in school that you must do a year? They always tell students that but it's not true (in my experience). My very first job out of school was in a hospital, and it ...

8. Undesignated Felony 6 while in nursing school PLEASE HELP!

   DaniannaRN replied to Guest1198798's topic in Criminal

   I think it's best to consult with a lawyer. Even if someone here can give you an answer, it may not be accurate because of the state you're in or any other factor. Start with your academic advisor, they should be able to give you the best advice re...

9. Will my social life really be over?

   DaniannaRN replied to Kennakenna's topic in General Students

   When I was in nursing school about 20 years ago, they told us the same thing about not having a social life. But I found that statement to not be entirely true. Everyone is vastly different. Person A may need 10 hours to study/learn the lessons wh...

10. How can a nurse sustain a healthy and happy relationship?

    DaniannaRN replied to nicenurse819's topic in General Nursing

    When he says things like this "I know im just the worst. Im a terrible person!” that's just another tactic to get you to stop talking about your problems and to focus on reassuring him. Do you get into the "oh no you're not terrible" convo with him?...

11. How can a nurse sustain a healthy and happy relationship?

    DaniannaRN replied to nicenurse819's topic in General Nursing

    TBH, your fiance sounds exhausting. Of course you know him better than we do, but from what you're saying here, he sounds needy and whiney. Were you already a nurse when he met you? He needs to realize that you also need to work and can't just lea...

12. Falsely Accused Of Patient Neglect

    DaniannaRN replied to Anna0029's topic in General Nursing

    It's just horrible how someone can make up accusations about a healthcare worker and we are guilty until proven innocent. I wish I knew a solution to this problem, it's something we all have to fight for as this falls under better working conditions...

13. How much I pick up affects my yearly evaluation?

    DaniannaRN replied to Loly23's topic in General Nursing

    OP, since you said you are young, I'm guessing they are doing this because of your age. They (most likely) wouldn't try that nonsense with an older/more experienced nurse. And never tell anyone at work your personal business unless you need a reaso...

14. Bedside Report

    DaniannaRN replied to Mr. Murse's topic in General Nursing

    I was about to ask about this. I've been out of bedside nursing for a very long time (thank goodness!!) so I'm not aware of the new procedures in bedside. But discussing patient A in the same room as patient B can't be OK. I would be angry if the ...

15. Can I Get My License and Find a Job with a Very Old, Pardoned and Sealed Criminal Record in Colorado?

    DaniannaRN replied to HopefulNurse75's topic in Criminal

    That would be a good question for an attorney that specializes in this type of stuff. I live in NJ and I have a sealed adult criminal record. I never had to disclose it since it's sealed and the BON/potential employers are not able to see my record...
