  1. Does the same rules apply to doctors

    DeeAngel replied to mrsfoster601's topic in General Nursing

    Stay out of it, this is not your fight. If the school is willing to be negligent in doing their due diligence in this matter that's on them, not

  2. I'm young and nervous about going into the nursing profession

    DeeAngel replied to Dlansey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Given the job hopping history, under no circumstances go into nursing without working as a CNA first. I see too many young nurses who didn't do that. They work for a few months and then quit, never...

  3. prescription drug addiction

    DeeAngel replied to shedevilprincss's topic in General Nursing

    Well keep that in mind if you have open heart surgery someday. I would never say never to IV narcs, there is a time and place for them and they work wonders. Now you have set your family up to be...

  4. Why Do Nurses Quit?

    DeeAngel replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    No one said anything about deliberately humiliating anyone in front of others. A quiet private mention of the problem and why it's a problem for the oncoming shift is how new people learn and

  5. I really do feel depressed about the situation

    DeeAngel replied to NurseEnvision's topic in General Nursing

    Praying isn't going to help you, you need to take action. Please consider going back to school and getting your RN. LPNs are being rejected all over the country for hospital employment. It's hard...

  6. Nursing Boards control of Nurses

    DeeAngel replied to Cougar1113's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think if you want to commit professional suicide that's a good way to do it. I hope she understand employers check and no it doesn't matter if FB is set to "private". When she applies for a job...

  7. Having a hard time with the people in my nursing school...

    DeeAngel replied to tbnurse1's topic in General Students

    Stay focused, keep your eyes forward and find friends elsewhere. All you owe your fellow students is civility, nothing more. It's nice to have students as friends but if it doesn't work out, thats...

  8. I hate my job!

    DeeAngel replied to RNlooking4freedom's topic in General Nursing

    Consider using your degree to segue into something related, perhaps programming computers for health care records. Something, anything, there are alternatives out there you just need to do some...

  9. ADHD Student on Rampage

    DeeAngel replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I would call the parents and tell them to come get their kid. I would not be giving any medication to a child in school with force, that is assault and you can be charged for it or potentially have...

  10. Fire safety, who is responsible

    DeeAngel replied to simonsmom's topic in General Nursing

    Make an anonymous complaint to the Fire Marshall and JACHO, just go straight to the big guns, don't bother with anything else. What they are allowing to happen is completely inappropriate not to...

  11. First med error...Advise..please.

    DeeAngel replied to Joanie49's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know a single nurse who hasn't made a med error. Deal with it and be careful not to make the same mistake twice. That's all you can

  12. Nurse tells summer volunteer to not refer to the unit as "We"!!

    DeeAngel replied to djasc112's topic in General Nursing

    Speak up and call her on it, tell her in front of everyone what you think of her words. If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. Silence implies agreement and it's wrong in...

  13. Do you press "1" for Doctor?

    DeeAngel replied to Glycerine82's topic in General Nursing

    You're either a professional or a patient and I would push 1 for doctor because you are acting in a professional capacity. IMHO acting as though you are a patient on the phone is a lie because you're...

  14. Family Feud: What would a nurse want to do to a hot male patient

    DeeAngel replied to bruins79's topic in General Nursing

    I vote for every nurse out there to send multiple Tweets and Facebook about this. Publicly shame them and embarrass them. I just went on a Twitter war with a company that would absolutely not agree...

  15. Signing off on another nurses paperwork

    DeeAngel replied to cb9115's topic in General Nursing

    Handing off admission paperwork really isn't the same thing as signing another nurses charting. Partial admission splits between nurses happen everyday in every

  16. Inane scripting

    DeeAngel replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    IMHO this sounds like something a prostitute would say....IMHO it's just icky and

  17. Inane scripting

    DeeAngel replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. I hate it as a consumer because it makes me feel pandered to, I don't need to be "handled" with PR and scripts. Talk to me like a human being and we will get along just

  18. Does working at a small hospital make me less of a nurse?

    DeeAngel replied to Jaellys's topic in General Nursing

    Tell whomever said that to pull their head from their behind because they not only sound stupid but ridiculous as

  19. Upset with delegation

    DeeAngel replied to lovaza's topic in General Nursing

    This happens everywhere I have ever worked in my lifetime. If you hate it that much find a job that will never float you. It's crappy and an awful thing to do to RNs. Floating made me leave the...

  20. Dr. told patient, "Nurses are STUPID".

    DeeAngel replied to Daetwin2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I can only speak for myself but I would get an attorney and file a hostile work environment lawsuit. I may not win but I can drag his name through the mud and out him publicly for

  21. It must be Pink eye!

    DeeAngel replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Make an information sheet contrasting the two things side by side and put it in every employees mailbox. It's the most direct method to get the word across, after this no one can say they don't

  22. Terminated

    DeeAngel replied to sdugan07's topic in General Nursing

    Either accept it or hire an attorney and fight it, those are the choices. In the meantime I would get this completely off the

  23. Bullying online is NOT harmless

    DeeAngel replied to Dianna11's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nurses generally speak very plainly and bluntly, a lot of people can't handle it. Please refrain from visiting this site if it doesn't meet your emotional

  24. Why I had reconsidered being a nurse

    DeeAngel replied to FutureRNCris's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses are always running the list of things they need to do in their minds, it's an endless list that we are constantly modifying. You are background noise to a lot of their activity because they...

  25. Could I be sued for neglect or lose my license over this?

    DeeAngel replied to Ccinct's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The only person who can truly answer your question with accuracy is an attorney specializing in nurse legal
