  1. Do I have the job or not? No clue

    HiddenAngels replied to Marshall1's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes people get busy and forget to return calls. Onboarding can take a while and they're probably doing stuff on the back end. It sounds like you have the job, I would keep following up!...

  2. What to do? Is this Defamation of character?

    HiddenAngels replied to Amithrivingorsurvivubg's topic in Nursing Career

    I wouldn't worry about what multiple people are saying. I think you need to focus on the facts. Why is your FMLA not approved yet. Start there. Doesn't sound like you are happy at this job, I'd...

  3. Could I get into trouble for this?

    HiddenAngels replied to SentinelTruth's topic in General Nursing

    Yikes! IDK, hopefully he's bluffing. Just make sure you say it was not intended to diagnose this person. As a nurse I don't usually go around in my regular life talking about medications or...

  4. Why am I being interviewed a third time?

    HiddenAngels replied to Sweetpea04's topic in General Nursing

    Aww Sweetpea - I honestly don't know and hate that this is happening to you but, I like your willingness to go at it again and with a positive attitude. I really hope you get it!! Good

  5. "I've lived here all my life"

    HiddenAngels replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Because of the high acuity of care the homes would most likely have to be staffed with licensed professionals 24hr and that may be why they are there until they can become downgraded from the

  6. Why Is Compassion and Support missing in Nursing?

    HiddenAngels replied to Steph1985's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    This was a great post. I feel that you wanted some answers. 'Heron' answered your question honestly. There are people who suffer from compassion fatigue, maybe where you work you don't see it, but...

  7. Health Insurance in America

    HiddenAngels replied to Emergent's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    A little reluctant to post on this topic given the current state of affairs with the CEO headlines, but I agree with the above posters. It does suck. Most people who come to the hospital needing a...

  8. Radial Hematomas

    HiddenAngels replied to ben67's topic in Cardiac

    Most of the time I allow the band to sit an extra 15-20 minutes before I start to release air. When I do start to release it, if I see even a small bit of shadowing, I stop and leave it on a little...

  9. Which route from point A ....?

    HiddenAngels replied to Medic2mom2rn's topic in Nursing Career

    Option B - volunteer -you've already found a place that would let you volunteer. The reason I didn't choose A was you're right. It may take a while to find a job as a new RN and the employer may...

  10. Deeply Disappointed and Burned Out

    HiddenAngels replied to Burned Out's topic in Nursing Career

    Don't be too hard on yourself. You've accomplished a lot. Some people don't have the courage to step out and try new things, but you did. Unfortunately you ran into some bad experiences along the...

  11. Career Switch at 30? Looking for advice/dos & don'ts/anything for someone considering nursing as a second career

    HiddenAngels replied to BellB's topic in Nursing Career

    HiddenAngels replied to kricketRN80's topic in General Nursing

    Apply everywhere! There are a lot of hospitals that will take new grads you just have to stay persistent. Do you still have relationships with any of your school friends? Ask them to put in a word...

  13. This was interesting in the news today...

    HiddenAngels replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I was replying to the assertion that "cruelty was the point", Cruelty IS the point in these types of situations. Do you think they got the wrong people just cause they wanted to be cruel to...

  14. This was interesting in the news today...

    HiddenAngels replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I agree with you, and this is something I can't understand. It seems for the most part (Law enforcement), they have the element of surprise on their side as they try to catch criminals off guard by...

  15. This was interesting in the news today...

    HiddenAngels replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    This is traumatizing. And why is no one sure who entered this woman's home? Where is her money and all of her stuff? She needs a

  16. "I've lived here all my life"

    HiddenAngels replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad times have changed since then. The one good thing mentioned is that you said she seemed cheerful and well adjusted, she even said "I'm pretty with it" (smile). The tone of her statement...

  17. Work environment

    HiddenAngels replied to Lulu1313's topic in General Nursing

  19. Working off the clock

    HiddenAngels replied to Rn2bmomta's topic in General Nursing

    Yes agree this, and conversely, not you, but what if someone wasn't so nice and they were working off the clock and something happened where it took more time than it should and for whatever reason...

  20. Need help getting through feeling of burnout

    HiddenAngels replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like economics. Judging from your post it seems you are unappreciated and devalued. Time to cut your losses. If they are that comfortable knowing that you are going to swoop in at any moment...

  21. "I've lived here all my life"

    HiddenAngels replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

  22. I feel like I hate the hospital

    HiddenAngels replied to Jo89's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Agree, I don't think any of us nurses started out and went home after saying "oh this is so easy and fun".. Ha! Hang in there. Try not to focus on all of what everybody else is doing and try to...

    HiddenAngels replied to tcy12345's topic in First Year After Licensure

  25. New Grad Wk6 ICU, defeated.

    HiddenAngels replied to NewbieRNbsn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with FBT! One thing to note is, you don't have much time so adopt a kind of take-charge attitude. Do what's required immediately and delegate only if you absolutely have to. Prioritize and...
