  1. nurse call response times in Ontario hospitals

    DeeAngel replied to fizzydrinks's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Keep in mind sitters just sit with patients, they do NOT help with patient care generally. You want a private duty CNA. They can both sit with the patient but also care for them. All a sitter will...

  2. Flu shot/husband-looking for advice, not to debate

    DeeAngel replied to nealiiih's topic in General Nursing

    My son's pediatrician told my son I needed a flu shot to be around my two month old granddaughter. Yes, your husband should have the flu shot and also the boosters for DPT, and MMR if it's

  3. nurse call response times in Ontario hospitals

    DeeAngel replied to fizzydrinks's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Sounds like a private duty nurse would be a good fit for you. With institutional chronic understaffing in place do not expect call lights to be answered in a timely manner. Nurses can't bilocate,...

    DeeAngel replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  5. Wearing Scrubs Outside of the Workplace

    DeeAngel replied to NewGradRN114's topic in General Nursing

    Until the hospital provides me with a secured, changing room with my own full size private locker I will continue wearing scrubs everywhere after and before

  6. Is this a crime?

    Honestly? I would find more grounded, mature people for

  7. Why are nurses sexualized?

    DeeAngel replied to Sykadia's topic in General Nursing

    The stale, outdated "naughty nurse" was around for a long time before any of the other costumes you mention were

  8. In fear of losing my license.

    DeeAngel replied to Newgrad665's topic in General Nursing

    They will laugh at him. Please get the jump on him and go to the police with this because this is blackmail. Get a police record of this happening, it may come in very handy in the future because...

  9. Too old to become a nurse??

    DeeAngel replied to MyteMite's topic in General Nursing

    No one can answer that question for you, only you know what your physical and mental endurance levels are. I see no reason not to go for it if it's what you really want to

  10. Easily annoyed

    DeeAngel replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

    Is it possible to get a new job at a place that staffs better, that staffing level is

  11. What happens to your license if the school you previously attended shuts down?

    DeeAngel replied to jocelynpotano's topic in General Nursing

    Why would you post to a forum when the only way to get a truly accurate answer is to contact your BON? It doesn't matter what answers turn up here, your BON is the only one whose answers

  12. The Decline of Physicians: Do we really need them anymore in Primary Care?

    DeeAngel replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I thought I was having an actual break with reality when I first heard this because it's beyond my current understanding of how reality should work. I have never heard of anything more insane and...

  13. The Decline of Physicians: Do we really need them anymore in Primary Care?

    DeeAngel replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Family doctors are more critically needed than ever. NPs are not the equivalent to an MD no matter how much some think they may

  14. Any issues with students and epipen cost?

    DeeAngel replied to Flare's topic in School

    Sounds like welfare is paying

  15. Topical without Rx

    DeeAngel replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    I want to know when in the hell parents became so stupid and self absorbed that they started to think rubbing essential oils on their kids or anything else was a teacher's job. I will never essential...

  16. Unfair Shift Rotation

    DeeAngel replied to KHVILLE's topic in General Nursing

    Whether or not you made the choice to bear children is of no interest to coworkers or management. You don't get special treatment because you are childed and others are not. The other nurse was...

  17. Ugh...the price of Epi pens! WWYD

    DeeAngel replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in General Nursing

    Do you want to lose your license, because buying or using someone else's prescription is a quick way to do it, it's a felony even if it doesn't involve a controlled substance. and no it doesn't matter...

  18. Popping off top from lab tube when drawing labs

    DeeAngel replied to pattykolo888's topic in General Nursing

    I am far more concerned with someone using that small a capacity syringe to draw from a central line! We were taught to never use anything smaller than a 10 cc syringe on a central

  19. suicide? Is this a trend with new nurses that can not cope?

    DeeAngel replied to elysRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like nursing was a poor fit for someone so unsure of themselves, their education and their abilities. This is not a "trend" it was a bad career choice by an emotionally vulnerable

  20. Hops requiring nurses sign no Falling contract, Is this legal???

    DeeAngel replied to psmith118's topic in General Nursing

    No facility would ever compel me to sign any sort of contract with a patient. That would be a career ender for me, because I won't do it. I already left nursing for retirement 3 years ago because...

  21. Frequent cancellations

    DeeAngel replied to firemedic12's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you need a second part time job to guarantee your hours. I've been cancelled and sent him when census dropped many many times. Cutting staff hours related to census goes on everywhere I...

  22. What is your work routine?

    DeeAngel replied to Tomrn2128's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Working night shift I always came in early to write all my information down and get organized. I never knew what I was walking into and the extra time to get organized was invaluable to me. The...

  23. Haven't graduated yet, being asked to stay after I do. Need some advice

    DeeAngel replied to FLnurseprospect's topic in General Nursing

    I find it odd that they are pressuring someone in your position to sign a contract and it would make me suspicious. They seem to be trying too hard to legally tie you down. IMHO I would absolutely...

  24. Do you still have energy to cook after a 12 hour shift?

    DeeAngel replied to chunkalunk's topic in General Nursing

    You really have to cook on your days off and freeze meals. It's honestly the easiest way to deal with

  25. Leaving Nursing for Another Career

    DeeAngel replied to cocoa_puff's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't leave for another career, I just left the professional completely. They ask too much of nurses anymore and the patients are a mass of entitlements, it's just gotten crazy. It's just...
