  2. Recommended experience for first time travel assignment.

    DeeAngel replied to Samc144's topic in Travel

    So as long as there is some information here other resources shouldn't be suggested for exploration; because that's what you're saying. That is the entire point that forums exist, to exchange...

  3. How to annoy irritating Drs.

    DeeAngel replied to Avid reader's topic in Nursing Humor

    So pretty much you're calling everyone who doesn't think as you do unconfident, with a stick up our rear and dim witted. Are you always so arrogant and presumptuous? I have a great sense of humor...

  4. How to annoy irritating Drs.

    DeeAngel replied to Avid reader's topic in Nursing Humor

  5. Gift for a pt

    DeeAngel replied to mountainjc's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think a couple of flowers, a small food item or book is acceptable. Give nothing that you would be uncomfortable explaining and justifying to a group of your peers or your supervisor. Small,...

  6. Should nursing pay remain modest?

    DeeAngel replied to Longleggedstar's topic in General Nursing

  9. Tuition Reimbursement How-To

    DeeAngel replied to FutureNurseInfo's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand why these question are posted on the internet. The only person who can tell you how tuition reimbursement will work in your particular case is the institution that employs you and...

  10. It seems like everyone but nurses make more money

    DeeAngel replied to rearviewmirror's topic in General Nursing

    The kinds of jobs you describe will go away literally overnight if there is a significant economic downturn, there is no job security really. Nurses, however are working during economic downturns...

  11. Potential problem/issue

    DeeAngel replied to Djfrank70's topic in General Nursing

    Get the written policy covering this in hand from your facility. If there is not one, tell them that there needs to be one because until there is one in writing you will no longer be signing off on...

  12. What's In A Name Badge?

    DeeAngel replied to TruvyNurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  13. Report Descrimination

    DeeAngel replied to startingover2016's topic in General Nursing

    Based on your post, I too would have declined to give you a promotion. Never casually claim discrimination unless you have irrefutable proof of it in your possession. You start claiming...

  14. Can a supervisor force you to take a second floor?

    DeeAngel replied to Ccinct's topic in General Nursing

    You were only asked to take the floor, you had not received report so yes, you can legally refuse, it is NOT abandonment. I would file a formal complaint with the governing body regulating nursing...

    DeeAngel replied to RG-RN2014's topic in General Nursing

    Usually this is done to keep you from accepting the new job offer. Then after that you could expect to be terminated without being eligible for rehire. Thats the way this plays out in a lot of other...

  16. The Longest Forty Eight Hours

    DeeAngel replied to jaycam's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Too many people don't get that to prepare for the NCLEX, that process actually starts when you start nursing school. There is no last minute hail mary remedy for those that didn't get the basics...

  17. Controversial Patient Odors in Nursing

    DeeAngel replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Slender people do not have a pannus that droops halfway to the floor, so yes I think morbidly obese people smell sometimes to the point of needing a mask on when doing a skin

  18. Two weeks notice

    DeeAngel replied to superarn86's topic in General Nursing

    My last place of employment I had to give two months written notice before leaving. You are scheduled to work a holiday, so be a professional adult and go into work on that day. I understand you...

  19. RT says her scope is wider than mine. Ok?

    DeeAngel replied to CardiacDork's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Her scope may be larger than yours, but it's limited to respiratory issues only, that's a very narrow and specific field of practice. Your scope extends to the entire patient so of course yours may...

  20. Where are all the "older" nurses?

    DeeAngel replied to tjcnurse2b's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  22. HELP! New Grad Travel Nursing

    DeeAngel replied to PeepoSoosh's topic in Travel

    Do not take this job as a new nurse under any circumstances. You will be so far out of your depth it will be frightening. IMHO it takes about 3-5 years working experience combined with independent...

  23. When your ex or their mistress/lover is the patient?

    DeeAngel replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would ask my charge to switch my assignment immediately. If they refused I would call the House Supervisor and insist it be changed. It's a conflict of interest and something I just would not be...

  24. Patient Satisfaction: A New Priority

    DeeAngel replied to AnnoyedNurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Families, scripting and the whole customer service is the reason I left nursing forever at 60 and no longer work at all. It became no longer worth it for me. My last hospital, new staff would come...

  25. Liquor Licenses for Nursing Homes?

    DeeAngel replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    Would you still be willing to give medications where liquor is contraindicated to people who drink unknown amounts of alcohol? I wouldn't be ok with doing that, not when it's *my* license of the...
