    nurseangel47 replied to a.w.n.'s topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ok, here it is. Why is it, I ask you wise ones, that someone's preceptor, a nurse most likely held in higher regard knowledge-wise, etc. hence the reason they ARE a preceptor....can be most probably,...

  6. Am I in touch with reality?

    nurseangel47 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Help, all you wise fellow nurses out there! I have been in nursing for twenty one years, with the past two spent on the boundaries doing a non-nursing job. Due to financial reasons, decided to give...

  7. Am I in touch with reality?

    nurseangel47 replied to nurseangel47's topic in General Nursing

    Need to add, and sorry for such long windedness in these now, three, posts regarding issue I am struggling. I went yesterday for emergent talk therapy with my regular counselor, obtained paperwork...

  8. Am I in touch with reality?

    nurseangel47 replied to nurseangel47's topic in General Nursing

    I am so glad that I was correct in hoping and assuming that I'd get "warm fuzzies" from you girls & guys! It is the day after the day after the drama for me occurred at work. The new job, brand...

  11. Husband wants to try nursing at 44

    nurseangel47 replied to mstigerlily's topic in Men in Nursing

    What I found in my quest to receive my nursing degree was there was a bottomless pit of inspirational and inner strengths from which to draw to get through the endless studying, clinicals, passing...

  12. Rude coworkers=bad manners

    nurseangel47 replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Home Health

    I've been treated that way and remember how it made me feel so left out. Now, I'm more proactive in speaking my mind, sometimes gets me in trouble but at least I don't beat myself up later for having...

  13. So, when a patient says "I'm going to die"...

    nurseangel47 replied to blackIrish's topic in General Nursing

    I've noted during many years of nursing to also believe those patients. They will usually present with feeling of "impending doom"....or at least that is what they referred to it during my course as...

  14. Advice for aussie RN seeking work

    nurseangel47 replied to lissyloo's topic in International Nursing

    Not an Aussie nor an Englishwoman here, BUT have read the aussie/english posts regarding UK jobs. Not a pleasant prospect at the moment. Strikes, firings, terrible work ratios and pay rates....

  15. Labyrinthitis? OFF WORK & Going crazy!

    nurseangel47 replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I had a friend who went thru this once. It lasted for quite a while and she, too, went thru all the neuro/ENT specialty docs and none of them could conclude what caused her dizziness. She was...

  16. Graduation gift for new nurse

    nurseangel47 replied to st4304's topic in First Year After Licensure

    How 'bout for those tired of runnin' dogs of hers getting "broke in" to running on the floors as a new nurse? Try a foot bath/massager, easy to use, soooo soothing to those aching feet when she gets...

    nurseangel47 replied to SICU Queen's topic in MICU, SICU

  19. wimpy NA

    nurseangel47 replied to chadash's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Due to policies of TOS, I/we cannot offer medical advice...this is a hint that I have seen an MD myself, taken his advice and am now more "stable" in the anxiety dept. Does that

  20. Transitional Care Unit

    nurseangel47 replied to heywazzupdude's topic in General Students

    I would think it'd be just as good as any other unit for a new grad. You will get a well rounded experience much like on any med/surg

  21. Question about skilled nursing and g-tubes

    nurseangel47 replied to Jolie's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    That's weird. I guess I just assumed that all SNU facilities did accept them. It isn't like it's a vent, or a very complicated nursing skill to perform! I've always had them in my assignment in...

  22. Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation (TENS)

    nurseangel47 replied to abbaking's topic in Pain Management

    Feels kinda like a buzzing or a vibrating buzz, if that makes any sense at all. I think it "distracts" one from feeling the actual pain in the area, in other words, it distracts the nervous system...

  23. wimpy NA

    nurseangel47 replied to chadash's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You sound like a great worker. CNAs who are that concerned about their residents are few and far between and I've had lots of LTC experience as a nurse superviser to too many of them! Perhaps a...

  24. sniffing alcohol swab for nausea?

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

    It'd take an awful lot of the packs of alcohol to create a danger from the fumes! Think about

  25. Hershey Med

    nurseangel47 replied to tammilynn's topic in General Nursing

    gosh! I was hoping from the title of the thread that it was now a new medication that docs were prescribing for PMS or something! Introducing: Hersheys....that great american chocolate bar,...
