About dansamy

dansamy specializes in Going to Peds!.


I'm a new grad taking NCLEX in Feb. I have a job at a pediatrics unit that I hope I will love. I've got 3 kidlets of my own.

  1. Patient abuse, difficult situation

    Always do the right thing. Sometimes, the right thing is the hardest thing to do. Regarding documentation, it's your license. Not theirs. Do not chart anything that you didn't do and accurately chart what you did do.
  2. Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

    Definitely start saving for retirement.
  3. I've been a nurse almost 9 years now. Including weekend & night differentials, I don't make $25+/hr. Of course, in Alabama, I make a decent, but bit wealthy, income.
  4. Completely enraged!!!

    Don't get too attached to the rainbows & puppies of today's experience. Your group will eventually sort itself into, at the very least, loose cliques. Your instructor will be tough on you. (Or at least they SHOULD be in order to turn out high qua...
  5. Ugh so upset!!

    When I was in school, a med error was automatic clinical failure. And that means you repeat that class. Sent from my HTC One X using allnurses.com

  8. Co-worker leaving - What's our responsibility?

    You really don't have any right to disclose to your manager your coworker's intentions. January is a long way away. Anything could happen that would necessitate your coworker declining her new position & staying with your company. Sent from my HT...
  9. Dealing with chronic suicidal pts in the ED

    Are these uninsured patients? Maybe they lack access to mental health care. Or the meds that work for them are too expensive & they aren't getting any assistance with affordability. Even with "good" insurance, mental health care in my area is hit...
  10. Could Obamacare cause a shortage in nursing again

    Of course it won't be perfect. And there's gonna be a lot of missteps along the way. And people will **** & moan about it. Sent from my HTC One X using allnurses.com
  11. Are we tyrants?

    I'm pretty sure that if I did wish to have more money than Bill Gates, the next day Microsoft stock would crash, they would file bankruptcy & Gates would have $98 to his name. Sent from my HTC One X using allnurses.com

    Me too! I want to be FABULOUS! *channeling Sharpei a la High School Musical* Sent from my HTC One X using allnurses.com
  13. Are we tyrants?

    I fail at blatant sarcasm! Obviously! :-D Can I blame it on an undiagnosed personality disorder? No? OK, interwebs then! :-D But I really do wish administration would stop, halt, cease & desist with this whole customer service BS and treating th...
  14. Job offer. Pay estimate?

    Yeah. My $2800 estimate used very conservative estimates for insurance & retirement. Sent from my HTC One X using allnurses.com
  15. Are we tyrants?

    You're eliminating the human element in caring for a very fragile, vulnerable being. My babies' nurses were not just cogs in the wheels of the healthcare machine. For 4 weeks, 3 weeks and 12 days (each child respectively), they cared for & fed &a...
