  2. New Instructor

    nurseangel47 replied to srsrn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Have instructed nursing certified nursing assistants but not LPNs nor RNs. Here is my advice: yes, LPNs are going the way of the dinosaur. Everyone taking that route or teaching that specific nursing...

  3. Should a new grad try ED or not?

    nurseangel47 replied to MegRyanGirl's topic in Emergency

    Girl! Heck yeah, DO IT! If I could handle a frenetic environment and were twenty years younger, I'd go for it in a New York minute! God bless you in your decision....it will be right for you. Only...

  4. Demanding pt provides nasal sample on labeled card

    nurseangel47 replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    What a nifty idea for second year residents! lol I'd be inclined to save it in a biohaz bag, pass word along to the next shift of nurses, save it, and then have someone from the appropriate shift...

  5. need info for quads

    nurseangel47 replied to chachi67's topic in Ohio Nursing

    None of us can help not knowing more information regarding locale, personal financial history, medical history, preexisting medical information, that sort of intense information. If you are in a hurry...

  6. Why it takes so long to get approval for a job !

    nurseangel47 replied to romashkarn's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    nurseangel47 replied to GODwillhelpmepass's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    OPEN THAT RESULT ENVELOPE! We're here to support you. What if the results aren't what you think? DON'T assume you know just from the size/width/depth of the envelope! How very silly! Just look...

  10. Am I Being Unreasonable? Please Give Me Your Opinion!

    nurseangel47 replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in General Nursing

    Stop being nice. Talk to the NM about the issue posthaste before the holidays are here! Next week is right around the corner! I would not let them bully/abuse me like that. If you're part time,...

  11. Get THIS!

    nurseangel47 replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    You should stay on "your side" if you're the only nurse on it. The others should cover their tailfeathers a bit better to go smoke or whatever it is they're doing when they leave. That was...

  13. I should have said something...

    nurseangel47 replied to Jesskanurse's topic in General Nursing

    OK. You're as guilty as she for a) not calling her on it and b) not reporting it. The first example is a case of patient abuse, verbal abuse. The second example is out and out assault, physical...

    Thanks, Maraleen, for not giving me aggro over this issue. I have very strong feelings and opinions about it. Am SO glad that you understand and see if from the correct

  16. Got offered a CNA job in an ICU, what to expect?

    nurseangel47 replied to mistiffy's topic in MICU, SICU

    Hmmmm. You're one of a lucky few, I guess, seeing as how most ICUs don't employ/utilize CNAs at all since the nurses doing the nursing care are doing exclusively primary nursing! If you're in ICU,...

  18. Should I just "go along", or possibly rock the boat?

    nurseangel47 replied to JohnBearPA's topic in General Nursing

    This is the norm for all LTC residents who are alert, oriented, and hence, demanding enough for their "expected" meds. Some of them are addicts. They have no life. I didn't mind giving them...

  19. Spanish for L&D nurses

    nurseangel47 replied to livn4him11's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sorry. Not to sound prejudice here. If they're residing in our country, sucking up our resources, obtaining free medical care, not paying taxes, living here illegally, etc. WHY should WE be the...

  20. Wound Vac System

    nurseangel47 replied to NightingaleCLNC's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    The black foam HAS to adhere to the wound bed itself to obtain adequate absorptive action of drainage. Should not be on top of any other dressing material. Should be cut, fitted to the exact...

  21. Reason for leaving answer/Need advice

    nurseangel47 replied to RN75's topic in General Nursing

  24. Ready to start writing up techs

    nurseangel47 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    I wish that I'd written up a few cnas I use to work with. Simply afraid of retaliation, I suppose. "Ghetto" type folks, who definitely would've not taken the paper trail it would've required to get...
