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

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

    TMB, Your initial post was what alerted me that this was happening. I read a couple of news stories and watched as the death toll was rising and was sick to my stomach. The last story I read was...

  2. Should diverting nurses be prosecuted?

    HiddenAngels replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    How could the Healthcare systems not want to get out in front of these types of issues. I don't foresee anything they would be liable for down the road by engaging in this sort of proactive...

  3. Is it inappropriate to talk to a patient outside of work and give them money?

    HiddenAngels replied to bluescoop's topic in General Nursing

    Yes all of this! You don't really know this

    HiddenAngels replied to mellee23's topic in General Nursing

    Hmm, this is interesting. Change of thought, I think this is worth bringing up to your

  5. Patient accussed me of not seeking consent

    HiddenAngels replied to hcsw4912's topic in General Nursing

    Your situation is a little difficult because of her admitting diagnosis. It's easy for us to say what we would or should have done with someone coming in this way. If you asked her and she turned on...

  6. Should diverting nurses be prosecuted?

    HiddenAngels replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Should diverting nurses be prosecuted. Short answer no, that's what EAP's are for. In response to the article, it is just so sketch. The director of the nursing home received complaints that...

  7. Epic charting

    HiddenAngels replied to john bailey's topic in General Nursing

    Were you honest enough to tell them that you haven't utilized EPIC before? If so and they've already hired you, then they will most likely provide the training. And I agree with Blue, EPIC is easy,...

  8. Forgetfulness

    HiddenAngels replied to mellee23's topic in General Nursing

    Well, we are Octopus, let's not forget that. Are you overwhelmed with home life or something else, it could be that. Either way, don't beat yourself up, slow down and keep focus. It will be

  9. Detection of Marijuana use in elevator while at work

    HiddenAngels replied to CharLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above posters. The smell could have been anything and come from anyone, but what's done is done. From reading your post it seems that you would be better suited for a Nurse...

  10. Is it inappropriate to talk to a patient outside of work and give them money?

    HiddenAngels replied to bluescoop's topic in General Nursing

    Homeless or not, he is kind of a stranger. I don't think you should have told a stranger where you live. To your point, I don't think you can get fired for

  11. Does this sound like burnout or need for change?

    HiddenAngels replied to Success89's topic in General Nursing

    agree with the above posters.. Also I would really put a bug in my manager's ear to try to have my schedule switched to days. As far as missing out on having a newborn baby to take care...

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

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

    What I'm trying to say is DEI and Affirmative Action were put in place in the workforce and education system so that you would want to hire/educate people from diverse backgrounds, It was a...

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

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

    It never ceases to amaze me how people can one-size-fit-all all non-white races as if they are interchangeable parts of some minority system that they can boast about with such confidence as if they...

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

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

    Correct, but we also live in a very diverse society. Not everyone has or will ever have some of the advantages that are freely given to others. Does that mean we keep the people with great advantage...

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

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

    They're not. They were formed because although we've adopted discrimination policies and practices in the workforce, it didn't necessary mean inclusion. Yes you shouldn't treat people from other...

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

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

    This isn't true, if it were, you wouldn't have such a great divide of wealth. You wouldn't have poor, lower class, lower middle class, middle class etc. The system is set up so that not everyone can...

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

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

    Karen, this was good read. Even after I read the excerpt I stayed up about 2.5 extra hrs reading the comments. Refreshing to see so many people finally waking

  18. Are There Any Agencies That Place Nurses Nationwide?

    HiddenAngels replied to Bandaide's topic in Private Duty

    Wow, I've never heard of live-in nurses. Seems like this would be something done under private-duty or rotating nurses through 12-hour agency staffing. Not saying it doesn't exist, but I haven't...

  19. Is your schedule busy ?

    HiddenAngels replied to Jannie's topic in Private Duty

    Yes. I think you have the option to pick up additional assignments or even change assignments if you're not feeling challenged, with pt's who have different diagnosis say cardiac issues. You may...

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

  21. New Grad Nurse: What I Didn't See Coming

    HiddenAngels replied to raven_h17's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congrats and welcome to Nursing. Oh man, I feel your pain. Yes it will take some getting used to, but it will pass. It seems according to your lifestyle that days might work better for you. If I...

  22. Poll: Have you been assaulted on the job?

    HiddenAngels replied to nighttech's topic in General Nursing

    I was directly punched in the arm by a confused patient. My coworkers and I were kicked and hit trying to stop someone from getting out of bed and falling.. and I've walked in and left after...

  23. CCU vs ER

    HiddenAngels replied to gratefultobeanurse16's topic in General Nursing

    Yes that's exactly it, to get the room prepped and ready. Also to make sure it's a good working IV for vasoactives and also to see if it's a field IV which we'll probably have to remove. The other...

  24. CCU vs ER

    HiddenAngels replied to gratefultobeanurse16's topic in General Nursing

    I so agree with this!! I'm the same, I'm not interviewing the ED nurse, I can look up most of the deets myself. What's the cc, are they oriented, what's running... I'm good after that...... Also I...

  25. CCU vs ER

    HiddenAngels replied to gratefultobeanurse16's topic in General Nursing

    This is key. It all depends on what kind of day YOU would like to have. Most CCU/ICU patients are there for a while so you'll get to have all of them at some point. ED is fast paced and exciting...
