1. how bad is 11a-11p?

   danggirl16 replied to ivyleaf's topic in Emergency

   I too am not a morning person so starting that few hours later was a plus. Like others have said though there isn't any slow time...no gradually winding up or gradually winding down. Where I worked how my assignment was structured depended on who was...

2. I am not proud of my track record.

   danggirl16 replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

   STARL: First, you absolutely need an attorney for both license defense before the BON and for any forthcoming additional criminal charges. The TAANA in fact lists 5 that are nurse attorneys (hold dual degrees) and 17 that are attorneys specializing...

3. I am not proud of my track record.

   danggirl16 replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

   I've not been on this site for quite some time and this is the first post I see! I read every single comment. I am just shocked and appalled not only regarding the OP's behaviour/attitude /comments but also about comments from a (very) few others l...

   Jfleurim: congratulations on passing your exam. I had a big response but for some reason either I or my tablet is technically challenged this morning. I bookmarked it though so I can return this afternoon. Y8

5. Paradoxical reaction to Benadryl?

   danggirl16 replied to Infofreak411's topic in Medications

   I'm going to say as per route of administration...the reaction might be delayed depending on absorption time but I know personally almost all antihistamines and things like phenergan/compazine make me want to just come out of my skin, tear my muscles...

6. New nurse, just want to walk out

   danggirl16 replied to heronurse's topic in New Nurse

   First, I am sorry you are feeling this way. In the beginning we go through so many different emotions - some simultaneously - that it seems like we're going crazy. OK. Now, I would like to know what unit you work on or what facility that only gives b...

7. Do Med Surg / Tele RNs still get hired into ER?

   danggirl16 replied to PacoUSA's topic in Emergency

   That is exactly how I landed my first ED job. I was on a travel assignment on a transplant-tele floor. The ED was down a nurse so the nursing supervisor came up to send one of the floor nurses. He wouldn't go and none of the other staff wanted to eit...

   Good advice. Thanks.

9. I dread going to work- not a new grad. Has this happened to anyone else?

   danggirl16 replied to Ativan's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not glad any of you are feeling this way, but I am relieved to know others do feel the same. I never used to have any problem going to work but it seems in the last 5 years or so (out of 19 nursing) I developed this type of anxiety. I could never...

12. A change of direction from nursing to ?

    danggirl16 replied to al11's topic in General Nursing

    I'm somewhat in a similar situation though I have had my nursing degree forever. Won't be able to tolerate the physical aspect of it any longer. I've looked into a lot of different areas wanting to be able to use the knowledge/degree I have and two t...

13. how much hire level math is required for nursing?

    danggirl16 replied to AspiringRN27's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Depends on the school, type of degree and what field of nursing you will be going into. From what I've seen most of the BSN and higher degree programs require college algebra and statistics. Many of the ADN programs (do Diploma programs still exist!...

14. what happens next

    danggirl16 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in HIPAA

    I find it...interesting...that facilities are charged with the requirement to "self-report" HIPPA violations or any other violation for that matter which would result in potential sanctions on the facility. Two personal experiences: once I was hospit...

15. Study smarter

    danggirl16 replied to PaulBaxter's topic in General Students

    Interesting article. I just had this discussion with someone. In nursing school (100 years ago), people gave me a hard time because it looked like I never took notes. I noticed that during the lectures, everyone's head was bent over, the instructor w...
